In April I listed a nice golf course frontage home in Sebring for $150,000. The seller's husband had died and she could no longer afford the home. There were also a pile of unpaid bills and incurred debt she didn't know about.
Not long after that, we got a cash offer. We submitted a complete and comprehensive package in April, confirmed receipt! We have a short sale negotiator in our office and she's very thourough and professional. She has been contacted CWHL once a week, only to hear the…

Alas! There is more than one version of the
Bank of America approval letter. One without the dreaded "deficiency" reference. Mind you, not stating they reserve the right to pursue a deficiency may not mean Bank of America has given up that right, but it does cause less trepidation.
Deficiency... what deficiency? My theory - they are leaving out the deficiency reference, but not "forgetting" about…

Are you helping sellers with short sales? Part of the lender’s process will be to verify if your seller has a true financial hardship. Short sale lenders analyze the information you provide, including paystubs, bank statements, tax returns and the financial worksheet. They will run a credit report, they will review bank statements line by line, and they won't just gloss over the financial worksheet.
If something does not "add up", be prepared for the following questions and…

BofA has cancelled my 2nd lien approval 2x so far. They said that the BPO was too high compared to the offer. They want a higher offer. My jaw dropped...they don't have any authority. Wellsfargo (1st Lient) has already approved the sales price and package 1.5 months ago. BofA is playing the game. We are also offering them over the original 10% which is $10,000 which Wells approved. Now it is at the 3rd negotiator and I'm hoping they don't kick it out again.

Pricing your home is the most crucial step to marketing and selling – the comparative market analysis that I will provide is comprehensive and more emphasis is given to recent sales comparables similar to your home that are in distress as well as condition. My price…

I sent out a listing agreement a couple of weeks ago for a Destin Florida condo. This was a Bank of America short sale, and no payments have been made for 9 months. I never received the listing paperwork back, so just wrote it off.
Today I got a call from “Clyde”, who said he was a licensed real estate agent in the sellers' home state of Georgia and knew them personally. He was helping the sellers with a short sale of their primary residence. Clyde said the sellers still wanted me to…
