Short Sale in Indian Wells, Calif......APPROVED! Just received my approval letter yesterday on this one. From List to 8/15 COE will be approx. 120 days. It is intriguing to me how some Short Sales sail along and others..seemingly very similar to my eyes, get stuck. This one is a vacation home for my Seller. He has two loans with Bank of America.
Primary Loan: $417,000 due
Second: $206,000.
APPROVED Sales Price: $465,000.

It really doesn't matter how experienced you are as a Short Sale List Agent. It doesn't matter how many CLOSED references you have..again as a Short Sale List Agent. When it comes to approval, it is a complete crap shoot with the Negotiator holding all the dice.
I can tell from the first e-mail exchange, and often phone conversation if they won't e-mail, whether or not I am dealing with a sane Negotiator.
The WORST negotiator I have ever had in the past 5 years was a Chase…

It's an answer to all of our prayers I'm sure. Begging them to consider your backup and not start over only to find out it gets reassigned to a new negotiator and the last has deleted your file. *small sigh of relief*

As an example of our commitment to improving the…

Bank of America just announced a change in its short sale program that may make Bank of America short sales just a little easier.
Until today, if Bank of America short sales were entered in Equator and then a buyer walked, the whole short sale process would have to start all over again. Even if the new buyer made exactly the same offer, the process had to start all over…

My client is doing a short sale on an investment property. Sales price is $175,000. The first mortgage, Citi, Is taking a short sale and allocating $4,500 towards the second mortgage which is 5th 3rd.

Birmingham MI Home Sellers listing Tip#1, "Check The Financing" Mike Sher, (248) 496-1572, Max Broock
With such a difficult Real Estate environment, seller's and Real Estate agents get so excited when they get an offer they forget the fundamental of financing. The Agent also needs to but does NOT call the lender to verify the buyer's employment, reserves and credit. Plus, the agent needs to verify the credibility of the lender itself and if there are concerns, the seller should…

Short Sale pricing is a key.. to a successful closing. Setting a correct price is a skill that comes with experience. There is more involved than simply running comps. With a Short Sale, the Lender(s) involved and the months delinquent on the Seller's part have to be figured in. The condition of the house, HOA delinquency, repairs required, examination of comps for Short Sale % pricing. Do I need to establish a Property History? Is…

Article I posted on my site. This will help homeowners understand the urgency of selling their homes asap.
I am skeptical by nature and I do not believe in anything unless there exists substantial supporting evidence. At the end of the year 2010, I read and watched Peter Schiff discuss the housing market. Peter is the president of Euro Pacific Capital and the author of “How an economy grows and why it crashes.” Despite his outstanding critics, he predicted the housing…
