Host: What is a short sale?

Amelia Robinette: A short sale is when you sell your property for less than you owe on your mortgage. You need to have the property listed with a licensed realtor and when you receive an offer for example, if you owe a $100,000 on your mortgage and you have an $80,000 offer, you and your realtor will submit that to the lender. The lender will approve or deny the offer and you will be released from your $100,000 mortgage through the $80,000 payoff from the buyer and any liens will be released from the property as well.
