The short sale process involves the homeowner and the real estate agent attempting to get approval from the bank to sell the home for less than what is owned. The sales price depends on what the bank is willing to accept. Sometimes you can negotiate a substantially discounted price because the bank does not want to go through the lengthy and expensive foreclosure process.
