Avoid Foreclosure The very first thing to try is to contact your bank or Mortgage company and try a loan modification
Once a loan modification has failed than consider a short sale

This is a very basic explanation Of course there is a lot more involved buy I would as your REALTOR take care of all the paperwork
Keep your Payment up to Date If you are up to date than you will be allowed to get another mortgage immediately and it will not effect your credit report. If you are behind in your mortgage than it will stop you from buying another home for 3 years
