Fannie Mae

8. Are there any Fannie Mae-owned loans that won’t be found in the Fannie Mae Loan Lookup?
Yes. The database for the Fannie Mae Loan Lookup includes about 87 percent of our book of business. The database excludes reverse mortgages and certain other product types, and a few other loans are excluded for miscellaneous reasons.
The Loan Lookup database will be updated monthly, so any loans delivered to Fannie Mae since the last update will not find an accurate match. For these reasons, we encourage borrowers to confirm the results with their servicer.
9. Are there cases in which a borrower might get a “No Match Found” result even though Fannie Mae owns their mortgage?
Yes. The loan could be in our database, but have inaccurate or incomplete information. Properties in multi-unit buildings, such as condos, are especially prone to matching errors because our database may contain only the building address, but not the unit number. Also, there may be a misspelled street name or other error. The database reflects the loan data as it was delivered to us.
Finally, any user error in entering the address information could result in an incorrect result.
For these reasons, we encourage borrowers to confirm the results with their servicer.

REAL ESTATE AGENTS
Q. What is the commission structure for Fannie Mae short sales?
A: For a short sale, Fannie Mae is a not a party to the listing agreement and does not determine the commission structure. However, a short sale will not be approved if the total commission exceeds 6%.
Q. Does Fannie Mae require that the commission be split equally between the listing and selling agents?
A: No. For a short sale, Fannie Mae is not a party to the listing agreement and does not determine the commission structure or split.
Q: Does Fannie Mae assign listing agents to short sales?
A: Fannie Mae does not assign listing agents to short sales. While some servicers may recommend listing agents, the choice of listing agent is made by the seller.
Q: If an agent represents both seller and buyer on a short sale transaction, will the agent’s commission be reduced or remain at 6%?
A: An agent may represent both the buyer and seller and the agent will receive up to 6% in commission.

Comment by joe beauchamp on January 4, 2013 at 12:26pm: Wendy, can I assume that you are fully aware of the effort from [email protected] ? Obviously, you should add yours and help both of you out.

Comment by Wendy Rulnick on January 4, 2013 at 9:04am: I have a file with Regions Bank that is a Fannie Mae loan. This has been in process for five months. We've had to ask the buyer for an extension and need to get another. Each update from Regions is that they call Fannie Mae and don't get a decision or answer. This is a military borrower with PCS hardship

Comment by joe beauchamp on December 20, 2012 at 7:23pm: Don't expect a bank employee to be proactive. Agents send "stuff" all the time - the negotiator isn't interested in figuring out what you mean/want, etc., he has his orders and rules. So you need to be specific. I ask for the rules or form for a value dispute. That is asking for a specific answer - and implies that I will be doing something official that the negotiator should pay attention to.

I've found that makes a big difference.

Comment by Alton R. Tyndall, Jr on December 20, 2012 at 6:58pm: Is the Fannie Mae dispute form for value listed here the one you use to send in to the services/negotiator? Indy Mac of course did not advise about this form, trying to dispute a BPO value and counter from Fannie Mae, I sent the comps and repair list from contractor to the negotiator but no response, thanks

Comment by Paola Martinsen on October 30, 2012 at 9:01am: How long are Fannie Mae BPOs good for with Bank of America nowadays. It used to be 120 days before but other lenders would only have them good for 90 days. Does anyone know the current validity of Fannie Mae BPOs with Bank of America.

Comment by Tyra General on September 4, 2012 at 6:50am: Is the Fannie Mae HAFA program only offered to owner occupants? I don't see any mention of this in one of their documents updated in April 2012, but wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something. Thanks! Also, Thom thanks for asking that question in re: to the FHFA letter.

Comment by Thom Colby CA Brkr 888-391-5245 on September 4, 2012 at 6:06am: Kevin - Do you know if the FHFA letter applies only to Short Sales begun after Novermber 1, 2012 or will it be applied to short sales begun prior to then. For example, I just received a new short sale file - Borrower has never been late - had to relocate 450 miles to get new employment after months of unemployment. So, it seems like he qualifies under the New Guidelines - BUT - do I start it now or start it on November 1st?

Thoughts ?

Comment by Kevin - Greenville, SC on July 5, 2012 at 10:20am: For Loss Mitigation on a VA Insured Loan, Insurer guidelines are to be followed, not Investor.
