If you're interested in some PNC experiences in throwing a wrench in things I will share a tidbit of my deal= pending short sale going on since 7/2009. To put it nicely, they are very inconsistent, and have messed up my deal more than once. They are junior lender on a purchase money loan in a California primary residence with Wells Fargo as the primary lender. House was purchased 4/2007 for 345K. with 50K.as 2nd Now fair market value is 189K. and it took Wells Fargo losing 2 buyers before they got their act together enough to get an approval letter on the 3rd buyer. During this process, PNC/NC complicated matters tremendously by flopping around on their required amount from one negotiator to the next, then insisting on 25K. to settle and release the lien. WF refused to give more than 4K. And we came to a stalemate after PNC closing and re-opening the file 3 times, each time insisting on a complete new financial/hardship pkg. On the 3rd try after was officially 'PNC' (new pkg again- on their form and docs - previous National City docs no good-geez ) the negotiator really got things messed up. She negotiated & verbally indicated that they would take an offer of 30% (15K) then after the deal was about to happen and it was time for action and something in writing, she all of a sudden said no they would be requiring the 25K. after all. WTF! We asked to take it to a higher desk for review, with no avail. So the deal fell through on all sides and was one day shy of foreclosing ( 6 weeks later) and a PNC rep. called practically begging to get that 15K. offer in writing and we could have a deal. Hurry hurry was the theme ! He sounded very disgruntled at the actions of the previous final negotiator and wanted a written explanation of what was said in each discussion throughout the whole process submitted with the pkg ....ok... called WF back and got the foreclosure postponed (luckily) and resubmitted ANOTHER complete pkg to PNC and we are awaiting the final acceptance of the offer in writing within the week. (balance of the settlement amount to be provided by the buyer and seller on the HUD) Then now we are in the process of getting the files back open with WF, and that's not the quickest or easiest process. We were lucky the buyers hadn't yet put an offer in on another house and they were still interested. This whole Short Sale has seemed like some crazy nightmare. And it's mainly PNC's fault...And it still is pending- not finished by any stretch. does that make your head spin or what? (p.s. They will play hard ball and if the short sellers have any ability to pay from a line of credit they will want it, no question). I would love to hear how it goes for you !!!! Thanks.
Hello again Adela, Thanks for your friendly response. I'm glad things are working out for you, and I hope they continue to. My debacle has come to a close. This was my primary residence and I'm a real estate licensee with a listing agent working my deal.PNC successfully messed up the deal to the point that the primary lender Wells Fargo foreclosed it yesterday. Now PNC gets nothing as we are a non-recourse state and is purchase money. Sad they couldn't get it together and get themselves $ 15,000. I went down to the courthouse steps to watch my house go up for auction. Wells Fargo got it and will likely now sell it to the buyer's I lined up and put into place and PNC doesn't get a piece of it. And I have a foreclosure on my credit report... and it's just not a good scenario...It's a shame, really.
Hi Adela,
It's so nice to hear success stories in this crazy short sale business. I am trying desperately to get a sale postponed that is tomorrow. I have an all Cash bonafide buyer with a good offer. No second to contend with...thank goodness. Will you share your contact or give me your strategy on getting to that right person in the foreclosure dept. Foreclosure told me last week that it was up to the loss mitigation dept. ANY HELP you can lend would be so appreciated. direct email is [email protected]
