Home sellers sometimes ask how they can make their home look especially great to impress an appraiser and perhaps lock in a higher sales price for their property.

A new government initiative is aiming to make so-called “short sales” easier to complete. The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program takes effect Monday, designed to speed up the short-sale process. Short sales involve selling distressed properties for less than consumers’ unpaid mortgage balances so as to avoid foreclosure. Lenders will “eat” the difference, as doing so usually costs le
