When a loan modification still isn’t enough to relieve your financial problems, a short sale could be your best option if your home is worth less than your mortgage(s) you owe on it or you have a financial hardship, such as a job loss or major medical bills. The Short Sale happens in Pre-Foreclosure stage. If the short sale is successful, the seller escapes foreclosure and the corresponding hit to their credit report. They only sustain smaller hit on their credit report for any missed payments and the short sale.
1. Gather information to prove your financial insolvency:

If you want to sell your house but it’s worth less than the amount remaining on the mortgage, a short sale may allow you to sell your house and settle your mortgage debt. By completing a short sale rather than allowing your house to go through foreclosure, you avoid eviction and your house will not be sold at a public sale or auction. Plus, depending on your circumstances, you could qualify for financial assistance to help with relocation costs from $2,000 to $5,000... up to $35,000.
Home sellers should watch out for unethical investors who will try to convince an owner facing foreclosure to (1) sign a quitclaim deed for the property and then (2) lease the property. In such cases, the former owners will still be liable for the mortgage payments, even though they no longer own the house.
