<p>There is nothing worse then getting a short sale approval letter and then ordering lien and title to find you have liens/Judgments to negotiate. Especially if there is an IRS lien which takes at least 30 days to set aside the lien from the property. The minute I get a complete short sale package, I ask the closing agent to order lien and title.

<p>There is nothing worse then getting a short sale approval letter and then ordering lien and title to find you have liens/Judgments to negotiate. Especially if there is an IRS lien which takes at least 30 days to set aside the lien from the property. The minute I get a complete short sale package, I ask the closing agent to order lien and title. If there are liens then I have them negotiated simultaneously with the short sale itself and put the liens on the HUD to attempt to get the bank pay for all or part of the liens. I find that many times they will pay for a portion of them, especially the HOA liens. If the amount of liens are too much for the bank and buyer to contribute, then see if the realtors can pitch in a portion of their commission to get the deal closed.</p>

<p> </p>
<ol start="1">
<li>Knowing the CFPB guidelines and the necessary escalation contacts for your file will help you keep the bank on the right track throughout the process - if they are not meeting the guidelines, don't be afraid to call them out.</li>
<li>Find a title company to work with who can pull a title search prior to beginning negotiations. Many sellers simply do not know what liens/judgments are attached to their properties, or do not disclose everything. Know what needs to be negotiated up front so you do not have any problems after all your hard work in getting to the closing table.</li>

<p>TIP: Call the lender first then do your homework</p>
<p>Find out their guidelines on commissions, allowance to junior liens, electronic signatures allowed, foreclosure postponement, relocation incentive given or not and the documents they require. Submit exactly what the lender wants as it must pass quality control audits .Do not send what you think they need Do not try to put a round peg in a square hole.</p>

<p>Homeowner Tips:</p>
<p>1) Preparing for a short sale should includes speaking to professionals such as attorneys and CPAs to get the best picture of the legal and tax implications and potential documents may be once a short sale is completed. Some states such as Arizona have anti deficiency statutes in the event of a foreclosure, HOWEVER, you should always seek the advice of an expert in the legal and tax field to get a true understanding of how your state's laws may protect you.…</p>
<p>Homeowner Tips:</p>
<p>1) Preparing for a short sale should includes speaking to professionals such as attorneys and CPAs to get the best picture of the legal and tax implications and potential documents may be once a short sale is completed.

<p>2) Short Sales only move forward and possibly quicker if the Lender is given the requested information immediately. Delays simply do not push the file back a few days~~it can actually push it back weeks. Lenders are not sitting at the desk waiting on receipt of requested materials. They're dealing with possibly hundreds of files so your file may go to the back of the line if we've met a cutoff for a request. </p>
<p>3) Make sure you check your mail for any bank notices. Banks were in the habit (and it appears it may come back around) of service releasing - having your mortgage handled by a new company. These changes are mandated by law to be sent to the homeowner before, during and after. Giving your agent this heads up may save not only time but also allow them to proactively package a short sale for the new lender avoiding any potential delays.</p>

<p>“A PLANE WONT FLY WITHOUT A GOOD PILOT”<br/>When I am working a short sale, in my mind I am the pilot. The pilot<br/>has a crew that includes buyer, seller, buyer’s agent, lender, etc.<br/>In order for the plane to fly right and land safely the captain must<br/>be positive and must communicate with everyone on board especially<br/>when turbulence hits.<br/><br/>For example, I recently had a deal where a very difficult negotiator<br/>told me they were not going to accept the buyer’s offer and they<br/>wanted $30,000 more and they were not going to give the sellers<br/>relocation assistance. Instead of giving up, I regrouped and decided<br/>to wait a few days and call back. I stayed positive and when I called<br/>back, I got a different negotiator that took the offer and gave the<br/>sellers relocation assistance!<br/><br/>I had another deal where the negotiator tried to get the buyer to come<br/>up $80,000. Again, I didn’t lose my cool. I provided as much<br/>documentation as I could to show the bank they were overpriced. I<br/>provided feedback from agents that had stated the home was<br/>overpriced, etc. It worked and the bank accepted the offer!<br/><br/>In conclusion, the best advice I can give anyone working a short sale<br/>is to remain calm and stay positive. Your crew is depending on you to<br/>land the plane. If everyone sees you lose control then they lose<br/>control. Stay positive throughout the entire transaction no matter<br/>how bad it seems!</p> Do you have any recourse?tag:shortsalesuperstars.com,2017-02-09:3468065:Comment:3846202017-02-09T14:24:07.529ZElva Branson-Leehttp://shortsalesuperstars.com/profile/ElvaBransonLee

<p>An experienced, solutions driven, Short Sale Negotiator (SSN) is your number one asset on your team.</p>
<p>• One that understands the lenders systems, streamlines the process and does more than push/process paperwork.</p>
<p>• You want to align yourself with a SSN that has proven strategies to postpone Trustee Sales, understands complex deals (i.e. Probate Reverse Mortgage with additional liens, Multiple Lienholders with IRS, FTB and judgements, HOA foreclosed Short Sale, etc)</p>
<p>• One that pre-underwrites the Short Sale package based on investor guidelines, to ensure success for your distressed seller.</p>
<p>• One that can help you develop and structure a detailed Value Dispute Package (VDP) to set you up for success at the Broker Price Opinion (BPO) and/or Appraisal, this VDP can also be used when/if the bank counters.</p>
<p>• One that understands follow ups, urgency and has multiple escalation sources.</p>
<p>• One that runs the Statement of Information at the same time the preliminary title report is ordered to uncover any additional liens that need to be negotiated.</p>
<p>Anyone can process/coordinate a short sale; an experienced, solutions driven, Short Sale Negotiator gets you the right approvals and covers all bases from start to finish.</p> can't agree more!
