Hi All,
I am new to the forum and I am a frustrated Buyer. Here is my story. My wife and I put an offer on an Aurora short sale 12/23/12. The sellers approved and I believe the listing agent got the short sale packet into Aurora the first week or second week of January 2012. My agent told me on February 28 that she heard from the listing agent that our file is " in final review". We have been checking in with our agent who has been checking in with the listing agent every few days on the process. They are saying that Aurora's system says that our file is "file completed", and that they our file will be approved but they just need to do some internal tasks. It has been this status for almost 2 months. They are saying that our file will be rushed because it is long past the due date.
I'm sure everyone on this forum is going through the same thing but can anyone provide any insight to what's going on? Aurora won't give us a timeline but just that they are backed up and will "rush" our file. The listing agent is getting a hold of or negotiator and their manager but it doesn't help if they don't give us any info.
My agent says that she had an Aurora short sale that she represented the seller and they got an approval letter in about 3 months. We are going on 4 months now. Is this typical or do I just need to be more patient?
Any info or insight would be appreciated. We are impatient buyers looking for our first home. Thanks.
As a wrap-up last month I closed two with Aurora. Full deficiency release, non-HAFA. It was a long rocky start in beginning and middle- went through a number of buyers who tired, but in the end the rep who helped was really was excellent. I believe she really did care about getting the deals closed and did everything she could. She also would call me back same day or next day consistently for the 2 months prior to closing. If you get Cheryl- you're in luck. It'll take awhile with Aurora, so prepare a buyer.
Hey Superstars, After 90 days Aurora called back finally yesterday and countered that to get the HAFA approval our offer price would have to be $418,000....we're at $390,000 now and the weird thing is they said if we go traditional they'll take the $390,000......Obviously the sellers need HAFA but I'm shocked at the $28,000 swing in the two counter amounts? I think I can get the buyer up to $400K but there not coming up to $418,000 and the seller doesn't want to be exposed to a potential deficiency balance on this loan or the jr. lien held by GreenTree by not going HAFA.....Any advice?
Sharon, I have found once I got into a rhythm with the loss mitigator it moved. I was told their BPOs expire every 3 months there- and ran into something where an old buyer was sent to MI for approval (instead of latest buyer)- and aurora acknowledged mistake and the delay on part of MI running way too long- and went with file already approved for price (as later BPO somehow came in higher) and underwriting went with it without looking at later BPO (which I would have contested anyway). In short I closed one a week ago and just got approval on another. It does not go fast- but once you get the person handling the file and have voice conversations, it will happen.
Oh wait- you are repesenting buyer....then you need to be communicating with the listing agent. Aurora is tough. In my scenario it was a big goof on Aurora's part and while there was a wait- they have fixed it. I dealt only with the loss mitigator the whole time.
Speak to listing agent and see if they can take it to loss mitigator as file was already approved prior to BPO expiring, and delay was a result of Aurora mishap, if they can just send it to underwriting, as is, and issue a new approval. Worth a shot. In my case- BPO had expired just a week prior to them being ready to give their letter- may be much tougher since Oct. Also, pull recent comps and if comps support offer price- send them on for submission.
Just got off the phone with Lindsey in Executive Communications and she was very polite and helpful as much as she could be. Without an authorization (I am representing Buyer), she could not open the file, but she listened to the scenario and gave me her take on what probably would happen.
She said that there are often delays in short sales, and that values go up and down all the time and that the bank usually looks at the NOW scenario. There are exceptions, like if there was a big goof, that they might go back to a previous value, but that is very rare.
She said that we could write a letter and ask for a Review of the file, but again, we would have to have Authorization to do that. It's so frustrating representing the Buyer and not being able to communicate with the bank!
Just wanted to say that this lady at Aurora is willing to help if she can. As for now, we are trying to get Buyer to raise their price and see if we can get it approved with a $7000 price increase.
Aurora is one of the WORST!!! The only way to get anything approved is to spend hour after hour on the automate "Melissa" phone system leaving messages and following up daily.....The executive response is a joke but it occasionally generates a call back....If taking an Aurora short sale prepare the seller and the buyer in advance that the process will be longer due to Auroras inability to process volume in a timely manner and there beauracratic set up.
I've also perserved but you have to CALL CALL CALL, FAX FAX FAX, EMAIL EMAIL EMAIL....good luck...we're still taking Aurora listings but they're are tough.
I will call them this morning. Thanks, kathleen.
Kevin, it is an Aurora adjustable loan. Only a first loan, no second.
Any help on the HAFA changes they are instituting?
did you try the exec management at 866-420-3167.
