How does a short sale stop foreclosure in Florida?

A short sale allows a homeowner to sell their property for less than the mortgage balance with lender approval. This halts the foreclosure process, prevents a foreclosure judgment on your credit report, and often includes relocation assistance for the seller.

Is there a cost to the homeowner for short sale negotiation in Florida?

Typically, there is no out-of-pocket cost to the homeowner. In a Florida short sale, the lender usually pays all commissions, closing costs, and negotiation fees from the proceeds of the sale.
