FLORIDA NEW FORECLOSURE LAW - HOW IT AFFECTS BROKER ADVICE TO CLIENTS

If you have a client that has a just filed or soon to be filed residential foreclosure action in Florida, what new timelines can you expect under the new Florida Foreclosure Law?  Effective with all NEW lawsuits filed on or after July 1, 2013 the new streamlined foreclosure procedures law will govern how fast the lawsuit will proceed – or at least that is the theory behind the new law.  Reality can be quite something else.

Under the law as it existed before June 7, 2013 (the date…

BANK OF AMERICA FHA STALL TACTICS - ZOMBIE SHORT SALE

I don't know what is going on at Bank of America,  but I have two stories to that are eerily similar.  Case number #1:

  One short sale was started June 6, 2012.  The date is right.  It really has been going on a year.  It took 3 cases at HUD to finally get the seller out of " loan modification " status and into "short sale."  I have had the same buyer for a year.   On February 19, 2013 I was…

MY NIGHTMARE WITH SPS-SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.

I have a HAFA short sale with SPS.  It has taken forever; since August of last year.  Twice SPS set up a foreclosure date even though this is a HAFA SS and both times we submitted a motion to dismiss and the judge cancelled the foreclosure sale.  Finally SPS approved the SS, however, we were not able to close due that the property did not pass inspections and lender did not approve buyer’s financing.  The closing date was scheduled for April 19 and on April 8th a new offer was…

You give them what they want, they don't want it (SLS 1st)

I am working on the short sale for 5 months now. SLS is 1st and GreenTree 2nd. Long story short: SLS asked for 2nd approval before they approve. Both buyer and I had to contribute to the second to get the approval. I submitted to the SLS and guess what they said?! They refused to approve because they don't want GreenTree to get more with any contribution. I am at lost, I worked so hard for 2nd approval and now SLS will not work with me. Why was it not mentioned?  Such a stressful situation.…

negotiate a counteroffer from Chase, or just give in?

I represent the buyer, and the seller holds a Chase mortgage. Their agents are great, but the negotiator is typically coy, giving no concrete answers.

Buyer has been U/c for $143,000, which was the H& B offer in a multiple offer situation in April

(listed at $149, then $139K for a month) Atlanta real estate market is bouncing UP.

The mortgage balance is from a Chase conventional refi of 201,000 in Feb 2012

Based on BPO, Chase has countered contract for $158,000…
