Oma, are you working with Kelly R. Smeriglio? She is the negotiator right? She will not respond because closing matters need to be addressed by the closing officer. First go to Equator and send a message to teh closing officer. Select the closing officer where you would normally select negotiator. Do this so the loan in documented. Then call SS support and ask for the closing officers number. You would be surprised they actually pic up the phone.
If that doesnt work you can reach Noel at 480-457-3220 [email protected]. Good Luck!

I'm confused....."the Seller's negotiator"? Is there not a listing agent? Everything goes thru the listing agent (normally). Cynthia seems to be on the right track here.

Cynthia, we are the third offer on the table. The other two were rejected by the seller/lender. Apparently, the bankruptcy trustee accepted the wrong price, which was the original list price, not the new offer. That's why it had to be sent back to the courts to be changed by the trustee. Thanks for your input.

I do not think contacting your buyers attorney will do anything but muddy the waters further. The sellers filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and by federal law had to include the home because it is an asset. The bankruptcy court released the property to be sold, probably because there was an offer on the table. I am not sure where the 2nd offer comes in at and I am assuming that the 2nd offer is lower than the 1st accepted offer and you did not say if the new offer was accepted by the sellers. If the new offer was accepted by the sellers, was the new offer accepted by the bankruptcy trustee? The new offer then has to be accepted by their lender.It does not sound like the lender and quite possible the investor are going to be willing to accept the 2nd offer.

They all have the negotiators numbers. Negotiators # should have been on your first communication to you should be in Equator.com. Send an email to all the email addresses listed in Equator and present your problem..... there are all kinds of phone numbers in these messages, scroll until you find them. I am not in my office otherwise I would put them in here for you. Send me an email and I will provide them for you......thanks to Ben and a whole host of other agents in here. Maybe someone can give her the numbers before I can get to them from my folder. I actually fought back with facts showing what "better" listings are presently selling for in that area ...and it was less than the offer I had presented them AND less than the appraisal they now had (which by the way, was good for only 60 days). The investors are asking for the $. Who is/are the investor(s)? they obviously want to negotiate....so hold firm and keep going back or increase somehow thru buyer or seller or.......yes, your commission. THAT's what they want. The idea that they CAN't ask us to reduce our commission is absolutely correct LOL!!! They aren't asking us to do it ;-) we are volunteering to do it now.....hysterical

You need to blast them with FACTS...send everything you can about the market, comps, stats, etc. Don't take NO for an answer - show them REO's that are selling for less. Demand to talk to everyone. Be a 4 year old keep asking! Fight back with hard numbers.

Patti, You can also ask folks in your office if they have anyone at B of A that will help. That is another way in. Takes multiple attempts, and clerks on SS support probably won't help you. Try a local, helpful mortgage person, play "pitiful"--"oh I'm so sorry to bother you. My negotiator isn't returning my calls, who is his supervisor", etc. MULTIPLE attempts, different phone numbers everytime. Ain't gonna happen in 5 minutes, but maybe 50!

Comment by Patti Berube on July 8, 2010 at 2:08pm

So I took Kylee's suggestion & called the SS help line, asked for the negotiator's supervisor, no he didn't have it. Asked the guy on the phone line for his supervisor - no he couldn't help me either! ARGH! And since the # for the negotiator is the SS help line - I would love to start dialing around it, sounds like a great idea, but I don't even have a place to start. Why are they so difficult???

some of this back and forth with BOA I don't understand. There seems like alot of negotiation for buyers that cannot afford to purchase a short sale home. Short sale does not mean REO atleast not yet, and depending on the condition of the property the REO stigma may not reduce your price tag for those homes either. asking for closing costs for an already discounted property ......
