This typically happens when the homeowner is behind on payments and is not able to comply with payment arrangements or qualify for a loan modification.<\/p>\n<p>While a short sale may avoid foreclosure, it means that the homeowner has to vacate their home. This type of home sale must be approved by the mortgage lender or servicer.
