not what you wan to hear BUT, Astoria is a MONSTER to deal with.
They MADE our client pay $400 for the appraisal/BPO, and, it came in higher than the current offer, so, the short sale has been denied.....
I ahve been doing these for more than 6 years now and NEVER seen anything like this......of course, I AM int he middle of dealing with their corporate office, so, i will keep you posted.
To answer your question, I do not believe they participate in HAFA.....I would just call in and ask.
best of luck.....
Now that IS FUNNY.......I will grow my hair back right after banks start actually caring about homeowners!!!!
;-)
I just came across this situation with one of my clients. Astoria is demanding $350 for the appraisal. I tried to throw some logic and reason at them, but that did not work. I asked, "Would you really let a home go to foreclosure over $350?"
I will keep you posted and if I can get around this $350. My sellers, are really skeptical and are not willing to put up this money, and I doubt any buyer is going to pay for two appraisals.

I have spoken with Stephanie, hard to do, BUT, play nice with her......when I spoke to her she seemd to be having a bad day, though 99% of the persons I spek to in the upper level offices seem to be having bad days when you call them!!!!!!!
Told you she was a "real joy"......e-mail me off here, [email protected], and I will get you some other contacts
I used to post them on these and other boards, BUT, found out they were getting flooded with calls.
The good contacts I worked hard to find, or, spent hours and hours tracking down, would change their direct numbers and e-mails and I would be back to square one.....I am sure you understand.
That is why I ask that persons contact me off here, then, send me a quick message promising not to post any direct contact info. on message boards.....
I am here to help, but, need to watch out for my clients as well.
