What is a short sale? A short sale happens when the amount of the outstanding loans are greater than the amount for which the home could sell. Short sales are usually caused by values in a market rapidly declining.
Short sales can be a way for homeowners to preclude foreclosure and get out from under their loan with the lender by settling.
How to do a short sale:
First, get an idea of the true market value of your property. For those whose finances are already stretched, engaging a licensed appraiser may not be an option. Therefore, an experienced local real estate professional that knows the current conditions of the Oklahoma City real estate market is the best way to get a realistic estimate of your home's worth.

Finally, contact your lender and notify them of the situation. They may even have a specific team that deals with short sales. Ask about their specific procedures. Some lenders will be more inclined to work with you than others. They may be able to reduce your loan principal or make other arrangements. Your lender will have to agree to the final sale.
