Question
Hi, I was wondering if you knew how I can obtain the
needed forms for a short sale?  

Answer
HI Jake,

Thank you for your question.

I believe a short sale is when a seller is selling a property for less than the current mortage indebtedness.  In such a case the lender must concede to forgive some of the amount owed.

You should contact your lender to find out if they will consider it based on the circumstances.

Good luck.

I am able to answer questions related to buying or selling residential real estate in New York. There are many questions buyers and sellers have about the process of buying or selling a home that they are afraid to ask or that might seem too simple to ask. For instance: in a house, why do some doors open in and some doors open out?
