What is a short sale?

If you live in Ramona CA or North County and owe more on your mortgage than you can sell it for, why not consider a short sale.
A short sale is a process that allows homeowners to sell the home for less than the amount owed on the mortgage. Homes are sold at current market value and proceeds are used as payment in full on the mortgage.
