Abstract: A computer-implemented method for creating a short sale for a real property asset is provided. The method includes providing a seller interface for network communication with a seller and prompting the seller for information associated with the real property asset. The information includes media content relating to different points-of-interest of the asset. The information associated with the asset is aggregated to generate a short sale listing. The seller is also prompted for financial hardship information, and market information regarding the real property asset. The financial hardship information and the market information are assembled into a short sale package for submission to a lending institution that holds a note on the real property asset.
