UGH!!!!! Well, one thing's for certain.....we're never at a loss for drama in the world of short sales. I was just speaking with another agent on yesterday who was telling me about her short "sellers" who stopped the transaction a week prior to closing! The listing agent had fully ss approval with a waiver of liability, the buyer's loan had been fully approved through underwriting, and they were just waiting for the closing date to arrive. The Seller's determined that they were not yet ready…

There's nothing like the simple joys of listing a home on the market, securing a buyer, and closing within a relatively short time frame......NOTHING AT ALL! HOWEVER.......I've just recently been afforded the opportunity of handling a short sale with Bayview Loan Servicing in the first lienholder position. What a treat!!!

 

First, we received a wonderful offer on the property within days of market time and submitted the entire short sale package to Bayview on January 25th. The…

In the oftentimes chaotic world of short sales, the road from initial list to closing is filled with rough terrain, speedbumps, wrong turns, u-turns, no turns, stop signs, and many detours. Nary a day I fail to hear the laments of yet another agent succumbing to the trials and toils of short sales. In fact, in my 7 years of selling everything from normal market re-sales to REO and short sales, I've dealt with many different (and often frustrating) short sale transactions. In fact, I've had…

I have read several news and Blog pieces about 2012 being the bottom of the market and how the best time to purchase a home is now. In good conscious I cannot sit idly by without voicing my opinion.

The news and columnists have based their analysis on the low number of inventory currently on the market for sale and the fact that it is 22% less than this time last year. They further site a 30% increase in property…

Hello All,

I've been having a BOA Short Sale since early August and have submitted everything through AMS.  Appraisal has been done, list price has been determined, but PMI company has not approved it yet.  I've left about 10 messages for my negotiator M. Phillips with no response whatsoever. My equator emails keep bouncing back, so my hands were pretty much tied.

That's when  I took my issue to Twitter, specifically to the BofA Twitter Help Team.  I tweeted my issue and the…

Any feedback? From what I understand and as of HAFA updates published by NAR on 03/16/2011, FHA loans are not eligible for HAFA because FHA has their own process for short sales?

Plus they have FHA financing on first with BofA former CW loan and there is a 2nd that was also CW and now owned by BofNY Mellon, serviced by GreenTree and both loans recorded NTS. The first… Continue

If a home owner has filed chapter 7 how do I get them off the fence for doing a short sale they are telling me since they have filed chapter 7 they can walk away free and clear so why would the want to do a short sale? What are you guys doing with chapter 7 homeowners?

This post might step on some toes but it is not meant to. Most REALTORS are on tight budgets now and need candid answers to questions about short

sales, short sale classes and which class or course is better.



I am not professing to be an expert on which class or course of

instruction is better but I will give my unbiased opinion as to which

is better in my opinion.



I currently hold the…
