What is a Short Sale?
A short sale is one where title has transferred; where the sales price was insufficient to pay the total of all liens and costs of sale; where the seller did not bring sufficient liquid assets to the closing to cure all deficiencies and the seller's mortgage lender(s) agrees to accept a payoff of less than the balance due on the loan.
REO stands for Real Estate Owned (by the bank). This occurs after the sale date, as established by the public trustee, and title is transfered to the bank. Other terms used are Bank Owned, Lender Owned and Foreclosure.
