SunTrust Short Sale - - Should I continue to wait?

 

Hi, I am a buyer... I submitted a bid to purchase a home in Bradenton, FL in mid January 2013. The Seller accepted. I do not have a realtor. The Seller has an Attorney and a realtor. The realtor works for the attorney's office. My contract noted that no other bids could be submitted. A BPO was completed in early April. A negotiator was assigned. It is only 1 loan. I did obtain an attorney in the area shortly after I submitted my bid. The Seller's realtor says she…

Short Sales- AS IS Contingency & Inspections

Hello,

I am going through my first AS-IS, short sale transaction (as a Buyer's Agent) and would like to know who is responsible for turning on water services at property?  Property is vacant.  The Lender has winterized the plumbing supply in the house, yet, has allowed the Owner (non-occupant)  to keep electricity on.  Is it the Purchaser's, Seller's or Lender's duty to hire a plumbing company to turn on water for inspection purposes?

Please…

Has anyone done a Short Sale with World Savings Bank?

I am initiating a short sale with World Savings Bank by way of Wachovia and I was told that the only thing needed once Third Party Auth form is received  would be the Offer/Contract, Hud 1, & Hardship letter. Please let me know if you have had any dealings and/or if this is the correct process. Does not sound like it but anything is possible these days.

Should Your Seller Miss Payments - WELL, WHEN PAYMENTS ARE LATE, FREDDIE MAC WILL APPROVE A LOWER OFFER!!!

Servicer - Wells Fargo

I think I now have 6 different ISSUES with B of A that I would LOVE to tell local media about. My newest one, input WELCOME

B of A HELOC is DEMANDING that the Buyer pay for and SEND THEM an appraisal.

Without this, he will close the file.
My negotiator actually told me to FIND A NEW BUYER, one that will pay for and SEND THEM an appraisal?????!!!!

Are you Serious!!!!
I have escalation contacts....but this is just ABSURD!!!!

WHY WOULD ANY BUYER PAY FOR AN APPRAISAL FOR THE BANK BEFORE GETTING AN APPROVAL LETTER!!!

DUMB DUMB DUMB (kindest words I could find)

Can't afford a home inspection???? Then, you can't afford to buy a home!!!

It seems that we've weathered the storm of the foreclosure craze and have experienced a massive pendulum shift in which home seller's can pretty much dictate what they want for a change. Multiple offer and calls for highest and best on NORMAL market sales have become the norm for some markets. All of this is absolutely outstanding.....if you're looking to sell your home.…
