How many days until the sale? Time is of the essence, most banks  require a t leasrt 7 days. What bank and if there is 1 or two loans. You could fax your short sale package in and work hard to get a offer on the home quickly. Without an offer the house will go to sale. hope this helps. If you have connectiions with anyone at the bank now would be a good time to ask for help

The auction is 8/2/2011. GMAC sold it to Specialized Loan Servicing. Sound to me like a collection agency. Only one loan.

plenty of time, treat the collectionn co like the bank, get your SS pack ready,and submit to them, list the home and price it slightly below last home that sold to get traffic through. Hope to get offer in a couple days.You really can get this done. If I was you I would still call GMAC to make sure they sold the loan and that the collecton co is not just servcing the loan. Much easier to work directly with the bank but such call with client there or three way so they can give you info on the spot.

Good advice as usual..still going to be tough, but I've found with Collection Agencies that they are usually ready to negotiate a cash settlement pretty quickly.  Can your Seller do that?  In CA, the agency will pursue them after the Sale as is personal loan, so always best to pay them off and make it go away..

I called the attorney, apparently it hadn't gone into foreclosure as stated in tax records, but due to foreclose on 8/2/2011.  Also the lender is Specialized Loan Servicing, a lender who buys bad loans from GMAC. No the seller couldn't do a cash settlement at this time.

Make sure you have the sellers call in an opt out of the loan modification or that will hold up the process of your short sale...they have to cancel the loan mod or the ss won't even be considered....
