A short sale is a form of loss mitigation. Generally a short sale is when the homeowner who is in default or is in foreclosure goes to sell the home and the amount owed on the mortgage is more than the fair market value of the property.

So in order to do that you have to process the short sale and submit financial documentation of the homeowner to the lender in order to determine whether the lender wants to accept a short sale or not.
