Are they releasing anyone from the deficiency? I have a new listing, and he is telling me that he will not accept the short sale if the banks' terms are that they reserve the right to pursue a deficiency.
My sellers' loans are both purchase-money and if they foreclose, the banks won't have recourse, so it is understandable why my clients feel this way. But before we all go down a long and bumpy road, I just thought I would do some homework first. Both of their loans are w/ WAMU/Chase.
Btw, I do have a $995 marketing reimbursement fee in my contract, which my seller agrees to pay if the bank does not cooperate with his wishes.

We are working one right now where it was with Wamu, now Chase and the 2nd is saying verbally they will release for 60% of balance owed to the 2nd. We are getting money from buyer, seller, and 1st to make it happen. Hope that helps.
