Short Sale

If selling your home is one solution you’re considering, discuss a possible short sale with your mortgage lender. Sometimes you can sell your home quickly for a lesser amount that what the pay-off on your loan is, and your lender will accept this lesser amount as payment in full (or partial) for your mortgage.

For example, if you owe the bank $100,000 on your mortgage and are at risk of foreclosure, the bank might agree to let you sell your home for $90,000 and call the mortgage paid in full at that point.

A short sale has a couple of advantages to foreclosure. It allows you to paying off your mortgage for less than what you owe, which helps you avoid foreclosure. Also, listing your house at a competitive price means it will sell quickly.

Deed in Lieu

If other options like a short sale or deferment don’t work out and you’re still open to selling your home, you can request a Deed in Lieu from your mortgage lender. This simply means you are voluntarily signing over ownership of your home to your mortgage company in lieu of foreclosure. Your mortgage lender then releases you from your mortgage payments and assumes ownership of your home.
