Short Sale vs. Foreclosure

Deciding whether to short sale your home, or choosing to foreclose is an important decision. Make sure you make the right one for you.

“Why should a seller go through the short sale process rather than letting their house be foreclosed upon," asks Christopher Reale, shortsale expert of Lepizzera and Laprocina Title and Escrow Services. Review two scenario's that will help you understand the importance of trying to make a short sale occur on your property, versus a foreclosure.Or, see the article written by local Cal Title to get more insight into which way is the best way for you to go with your situation.
