<p>The <a title="Chicago Western Suburbs Short Sales" href="http://chicagoarearealestateblog.com/short-sales/">short sale</a> process is still a mystery to many people, yet it is the best alternative to a foreclosure.  Do not let your friends and family forgo their home without looking at all their options.  A short sale is a better option for their credit history and recovery process.  Everyone’s situation is unique, yet many people do not know about short sales, let alone understand them.  The bank will grant a short sale if the seller can show hardship and if the seller owes more on their mortgage than what the home is worth today.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You are invited to attend a one hour panel discussion on projected real estate trends in 2012.
