When homeowners are in danger of losing their houses and have not done the necessary amount of research into how foreclosure works and how you can combat it, they are very prone to falling for sales gimmicks and fancy although spurious, titles. Several foreclosure support organizations, in an effort to help their employees appear more knowledgeable than they really are, have begun to depend on simplistic training courses and unconvincing titles like “Certified Foreclosure Specialist,” “Certified Loss Mitigation Specialist,” or others. Although there’s no doubt that there’s such as thing as a “Certified Foreclosure Specialist,” it is more a matter of who certifies them and what they have do to earn that certification, and if these coaching courses give the staff more knowledge than the typical foreclosure victim could gather on his or her own.

A short sale occurs when a lien holder for the property agrees to a reduction in the property lien or loan to progress a real estate sale. A potential buyer of this property has the opportunity to purchase the property at a reduced sum. A short sale of a property is an alternative to allowing a homeowners property to be foreclosed.

How Does a Short Sale Work?

As far a I know, there are no agencies that will negotiate for your or help out on payments. If you’re still in your hardship and can’t make the payments, there are options.
Depending on the hardship – decrease in pay, medical hardship, etc, then the bank has options like a loan modification, partial claim, or other programs that can help you get back on track. If you call the lender, you’ll need to be persistent with the loss mitigator because the lenders are trying to get the most money as fast as possible, and these programs limit what they can get and how fast – obviously they won’t be just giving up the info.
If you can’t afford the house, then you may want to contact any one fo the “we buy houses” companies that are no doubt in your area. When you talk to them, you’ll need to ask them what their experience is with short sales – the process of negotiating a lower selling price with a lender on a house in foreclosure.
