Short Sale
Some mortgage lenders offer short sale real estate transactions to borrower's who have defaulted on their loan. In a nutshell, lenders allow borrower's to sell their property for less than is owed on it - hence the name, 'short sale'.
Short sales provide borrower's with an opportunity to sell their property and get out from under their loan. When negotiated properly, short sales allow the homeowner to walk away from the property, salvage what's left of their credit, and avoid foreclosure.

Bank Loss Mitigators
Bank loss mitigators are individuals who work with homeowners facing foreclosure. Typically, loss mitigators are representatives of the Loss Mitigation Department of banks and lending institutions. However, they might also be independent agents who work directly with the homeowner and assist in negotiations with mortgage lenders.
The primary duty of bank loss mitigators is to help homeowners devise a plan that will enable them to either remain in their home or obtain a short sale. Loss mitigators review the homeowner’s financial situation and help them determine which plan will be in their best interest.
