What Is a Short Sale?

A short sale allows you to sell your home for less than what you owe, with your lender’s approval. Instead of going through foreclosure, the bank agrees to take a reduced payoff so you can move forward without the heavy financial damage.

For many Georgia homeowners facing preforeclosure, job loss, medical bills, rising interest rates, or unexpected life changes, a short sale is one of the most powerful and protective options available.

Benefits at a glance:

  • Stops the foreclosure process

  • Helps protect your credit score

  • Eliminates the risk of an auction

  • Avoids additional legal and attorney fees

  • Allows you to walk away with dignity and a clean slate

Why Choose a Short Sale Over Foreclosure?

Foreclosure Hurts. A Short Sale Helps.

While foreclosure stays on your credit for 7 years, a short sale is often viewed more favorably by lenders and future landlords. A short sale shows that you took responsible action instead of letting the home go to auction.

Get a free, no-pressure review of your situation and learn your best next step.

Yes — in many cases, a short sale request can pause or completely stop the auction, depending on how far along the foreclosure process is.

Most lenders prefer approving a short sale instead of completing a foreclosure because it saves them time, money, and legal fees.

Property Jet steps in immediately to communicate with your lender and request the necessary hold.

Common Questions About Short Sales

❓ Will I owe money after the short sale?

Often, no. Many lenders agree to waive the deficiency balance. We negotiate this on your behalf.

❓ How long does a short sale take?

Typically 45–90 days, depending on lender response times.

❓ Does it cost me anything?

No. In most cases, banks pay all commissions and fees.

❓ Will this hurt my credit?

A short sale impacts credit — but far less than a foreclosure.

❓ Can I stay in the home during the process?

Yes, until the sale is complete or possession is transferred.

❓ Can I do a short sale with multiple mortgages?

Yes — we negotiate with each lienholder.
