Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a short sale?
- A short sale is a lender-approved sale in which the property sells for less than the total mortgage payoff. Whether it is an option depends on your lender, finances, property value, and other circumstances.
- Is a short sale better than foreclosure?
- The answer depends on your specific situation. A short sale can offer more control over the sale process, but its legal, tax, and credit implications should be reviewed with qualified professionals before you decide.
- Is this guide legal, tax, or financial advice?
- No. This is an educational real estate resource. Speak with a Florida real estate attorney, tax professional, lender, and other qualified advisors about your circumstances before making decisions.
