What Is a Short Sale?
A short sale is when your lender agrees to let you sell your home for less than what you owe on the mortgage. It’s often a better alternative to foreclosure, especially when handled by a qualified real estate agent who specializes in distressed property sales.
Why Consider a Short Sale in Nevada?
Here are just a few reasons why a short sale may be the right move:
- Less damage to your credit: A foreclosure can drop your credit score by 140–200 points. A short sale typically has a smaller impact, and it may even be reported as “paid in full” or “settled.”
- Stay in your home during the process: Many homeowners can remain in their homes during the short sale process, which can take several months.
- Possible government relocation assistance: You may qualify for up to $1,500 in government relocation funds at closing.
- Protect your financial future: A successful short sale often releases you from future liability on the debt, giving you a clean break and a chance to rebuild,
