credit repair after a short sale...

[Tracy Humphreys]

Hi,

I know someone who is through a short sale, as a result, his credit went from 750 to now 540. He is concerned with what's going to happen with his credit when the short sale is over.

Other than the foreclosure status on his credit everything else is clean and the payments are good. What steps can he take to clean up his credit? Can he start now or should he wait until after the short sale?

Thanks.
