Will the Seller be asked to sign a promissory note?

Posted by Bryant Tutas on November 27, 2009 at 2:30pm

Possibly. I have found that more times than not the Seller is not only willing to but wants to make a cash contribution or sign a note to get the deal done. It helps them to feel better about their situation. Most people WANT to pay their bills and honor their obligations.Our job as Short Sale Agents is to give the Seller the facts and let them make the decision.Here are two responses recently received from Bank of America and how they were presented to my Sellers.What Bank of America is really saying is "Yes we approved your Short Sale request now let's work out the details". This is the response we want. Right?CASE #1In response to your counter offer, Bank of America will not budge. They rejected your offer of $500. Below are the 2 options they have given.OPTION 1: total proceeds of sale toward the 2nd $7,500.00 Can be any combination of proceeds of sale AND 'cash contribution.OPTION 2: $3,000 proceeds of sale PLUS new deficiency note for $5,000.00, payable at $150.00 each , 0% APR.We already have $2,350 to give to the 2nd so subtract that from the $7,500 figure leaving $5,150 needed for the first option and for the 2nd option it would require $650 cash and a note for $5,000. The notes are soft which means they have zero interest and they are unsecured.Now we could try to get the buyer up higher. Although I personally feel this may cause an appraisal issue with their mortgage. The note could possibly be negotiated for a longer term, say 5 years. That would make the payment $83.33. They may even go 7 to 10 years.Please consider your options and let me know. We need to give them a response no later than tomorrow.CASE #2:I have just received an email from Bank of America. They are asking you to contribute either $3,000 cash at closing or they want you to sign a $10,000 soft note. The note would be interest free. I would think they would go either 5 or 10 years on the note. 5 years would have a payment of $166.67 per month and 10 years would be 83.33What are you thoughts? The other items are things I will take care of. Please let me know as soon as possible as time is of the essence.***I am not an Attorney and cannot give legal advice. You are advised to seek competent legal and tax advice. Any decision you make may have negative repercussions.Now I don't know what these particular Sellers will decide. They may accept the offers or they may want to negotiate. Once they decide I will act accordingly. I do feel that both of these Short Sales will get closed. Any questions?

A $50 BPO will cost the seller, lender and listing agent ...a big chuck of change.

Posted by Steve Loynd on November 18, 2009 at 2:30am

Another Short sale story...where a BPO done from a-far was the kiss of deathWorking on a short sale in a project where the last sale was over a year ago, I advised the seller of the likely selling price and asked for the price adjustment...subject to his lenders acceptance on a short sale offer.90 days from listing date (showing this was still not a give away price) a 90% offer is made, with the only condition being the seller lender accepting the short sale. Two months in to the process two superior locations, of twice the size sell for twice as much as the current short sale offer.Along comes a distant BPO (done of $50- sight unseen), and the value is set at double the offer. My Offer is declined end of discussion. I tell the seller, "sorry this is your banks decision - game over". This loan had a 3 yr. balloon note clause whose date has already passed, there is no place to go, the lender tells me we are better off foreclosing on the property...Based on the BPO which they will not accept from me-is flawed.Everyone loses, except maybe the next agent to receive the listing post foreclosure...they will offer a new opinion of value upon listing and once its bank owned it will be negotiated...without the flawed data that killed the short sale option.Whats the harm you ask?, The seller has a foreclosure on his record, the bank has the added expense of the foreclosure (as they wouldn't take the property as a deed in lieu of) and the buyer will move on to another property...The bank, the seller, the buyer and the listing broker (me) all lose out on the opportunity to get this deal off the books and retire another bad loan. Why?...a $50 BPO done by an out of town agent, who the lender wouldn't tell me who it was...and even if I knew wouldn't change the opinion now anyway.The sales I used to set the asking price 5 months ago...were not even noted in the "new Broker opinion of value" they gave me the comps over the phone (but wouldn't send me the report) but wouldn't look at the 5 other listing still for sale at the subject project with asking prices in the same neighborhood (as the subject) .We are in trouble here when the lenders make counter offers for more than they are owed for their payoff, then outright decline market value offers based on flawed BPO's....Hire a licensed appraiser if you don't believe me? Did it ever occur to you the person doing the BPO thinks they'll get the listing and ask for a price drop later?Thanks Wells Fargo you are doing a great job, make sure you reflect this in your next request for government bailout money

Bank OF America Short Sale Approved!

Posted by Anita S Zahn on November 17, 2009 at 3:33pm

I have a BOA Short Sale on a vacant piece of land that I have been working on myself.The owners owed money to the HOA and our in house short sale specialist that I would normaly have working on this was told by her attorney boss that unless the sellers sign a waver and pay the HOA fees she had to stop what she was doing with the file. The attorney also handle the HOA and does the leins for them.So of course I'm not going to let a good offer go South. I submitted and completted the sale myself.The vacant 1/2 acre piece of land was originaly purchased for $165,000. The mortgage amount was $130,000.I had several offers at $30,000 which is what they have been selling for lately. The BOA negotiator said they wanted to see an offer in the $40's.One weekend I get the call I have intrest excited buyers and I put it under contract for $45,000. Of course explain the short sale process to them and like everyone they're fine with it.My buyers where getting antsie after 2 1/2 months. By this time BOA had actually ordered an appraisal. Of course I sent all the comps possible and kept on them on what a great offer this is and that there hasn't been a sale at that price in 2 years.By the way the appraisal came in at $32,500.I had called BOA every week and of course you can't get through the gate keeper. So every week I made the person I spoke to send an IM to the BOA negotiator with my cash buyer needs an answer before they walk.Last Friday 11/13/ I called and told them I just recieved an email that my buyer had sent and they are walking.I really did get an email from the buyer saying they where considering another option. I then did some research to see what else was available and honestly this location they had an offer on was one of the best locations for they're needs. I wrote the buyer a long email asking if they really wanted to start the process all over again?I got the short sale approval that afternoon and called the buyers to let them know WE HAVE APPROVAL! They where happy and are ready to close next week.Yes they (BOA negotiators) ask for papers that you've faxed 2,or 3 x's just put a smile on and resend. Kill them with Kindness. Don't be affraid to call them once or twice a week for an update.Even if they say they have nothing in they're note make the check that all the papers a there.They don't need 10 days like they say for it to get into the system. Usually they have it in less then 24 hours.Do call to confirm it was recieved (don't wait the 10 days to confirm).Try to get a IM or email through to the negotiator as often as possible this way you know they have had to touch or think about that file.Take notes lots of them. Just be persisent in a nice way.Always Thank them for all there help and info.This is the 3rd BOA Short Sale Approval I've got in 3 weeks it works.Good Luck!

How low is too low to accept a short sale listing?

Posted by Brian Brumpton on November 10, 2009 at 1:32pm

I recently canceled three short sale listings after a client insisted that I pay to do some advertising that is not part of my marketing plan. We decided to go our separate ways after I broke down the numbers for them and showed them just how much money I was going to make off the listing if I were able to negotiate the short sale.I was actually losing money after paying my admin staff. It started me thinking, how low is too low? At what point do you say no to a short sale listing?I thought maybe some smarties here at short sale superstars might have some insight.

Bank owned properties can be great deals, but know the possible costs going in

Posted by Ron Donavon on November 9, 2009 at 5:11pm

The bulk of real estate sales continues to be pre foreclosed and foreclosed properties, largely because they are, square foot by square foot, the best deals on the market. With the number of foreclosures on the market and more on the way, cities are reacting to ensure the integrity of neighborhoods, and long term property values. This is equating to some additional costs for buyers.The saavy buyer already has some upfront costs when purchasing a property. I always recommend, and nearly all of my clients do, a home inspection. This can run from $250 to $400. In addition, more and more buyers are electing to have their potential new home tested for radon. This test can run from $180 to over $200 depending on the footprint of the home and the layout of the living spaces above.In addition to these costs associated with purchasing any home, bank owned properties are bringing some extra expenses. Many of these properties have been winterized by the property preservation departments of the owner/bank. This means that the water has been shut off, pipes drained, gas shut off, and often the electricity. A buyer on this property must pay to have the home “de-winterized” for their property inspection. The buyer then must pay to have the property re-winterized, whether they decide to pursue the purchase of the home or not. This cost has typically been around $300 to de- and re- winterize.A second cost to buyers of bank owned properties is being instituted by local cities and villages. Both Romeoville and Aurora now have a mandatory city inspection of all bank owned properties paid for by the buyer before a certificate of occupancy can be issued for the home. This inspection can also hold up the closing of the sale, and the new owner may not occupy the property without the inspection. The new owner is also responsible for any repairs, if any, that the inspection turns up. The inspection is mainly for safety and building code issues. In addition to this, the city of Romeoville now also mandates an air test for mold for all bank owned properties, at a cost of $200 or more. If mold is found in the air, it must be professionally mitigated and the property must pass a second air test before the buyer may close on the home.The reasons for all of this testing is not just to make the purchase of a bank owned home difficult or to raise revenue for the city. Municipalities are simply taking action to ensure the quality and integrity of their neighborhoods. An unaware buyer purchasing a home with mold, then becoming extremely ill, could result in the home going right back into foreclosure. Buyers must make sure that the “deal” they are getting is good enough to cover all of these potential costs. Agents may want to call the cities that they do business in and be sure you can educate your buyers on what each city is requiring.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Posted by Sue Burg on November 9, 2009 at 4:27pm

This week happens to have a very important day in it. This Wednesday is Veterans day. A day when we get to remember our nations heros. It's a day to really think about all we have and the small things we take for granted. For instance, going to Starbucks for coffee, being able to go to any house of worship anytime we like, being able to listen to country music at my desk while my neighbor is listening to rock. These things don't seem inportant but someone put their life on the line so we could have OUR choice, not the governments imposed choice. Oh. I can hear the natsayers now, but I come from a long list of war veterans. My grandfather was in WWII and then he was stationed in Greenland, my uncle was in Vietnam and so on. I have friends and family members still on active duty. Now, I don't support war, but I do support the troops. I was darn glad to see the improvements to the VA loan last week. I am even more proud to be able to offer the vets a loan program that works and is deserving of the work they accomplish in foreign lands so I can lay my head on a nice soft feather pillow every night.The response to the loan has been a good one. What's even better is that they don't have to sell their current home to take advantage of the credit. It now enables our vets to build real estate wealth if they want a move up home. I think they deserve everything they have worked for. I heard someone say that they were not heros, they were people doing the job they signed up for and death was a part of their job. That may be true, callous, but true. However, most people are not kicked out of their home if their husbands are killed on duty. Which is what happens when a vet has on site housing. If you lost your home in foreclosure it's your fault. I understand that for some people their were extenualting circumstances, sickness, long term job loss, etc. But, lets be realistic, how many of those people who lost their jobs would consider working at McDonalds? Not a lot. It would be too embarrassing, I understand. But, what was the alternative. Now I'm not here to judge anybody, it's far from me to do that. Everyone has their own burden to carry, I've had my own this year. All I'm saying is that they deserve the same respect that everyone else gets, to date some of them are still on the outside looking in. I think the new improved VA loan is wonderful. I hope a lot of vets find there way to me, because I'm going to do everything I can to hep them get that loan.

Successful Short Sale with Fifth Third Bank.

Posted by Bryant Tutas on November 9, 2009 at 11:17am

Avoid foreclosure. Another successful Short Sale Closing with Fifth Third Bank.Mortgage amount: $185,000.00Sales price: $87,500.00Lender agreed to 3% in closing costs and a 6% commission.Net to Lender: $77,078.00Fannie Mae was the Investor and there was Mortgage Insurance (MI).Challenges: The Mortgage Insurance company started out wanting $60,000 in any combination of cash and/or promissory note. We negotiated for 2 weeks. The Seller ended up bringing $1,000 to closing. No note.The first Buyer walked after keeping the property off the market for 60 days. The 2nd Buyer closed 38 days after going under contract.Total time from placing it on the market until closing: 205 days.Seller testimonial:Dear Bryant"I want to personally thank you for your exemplary handling of our recent real estate transaction. From day one you were a professional; courteously and patiently guiding me through the entire process. Your response time was unparalleled; you responded to my emails and phone calls within minutes, as if I were your only client!And I believe that’s what every seller (and buyer) wants – to get the idea, or enjoy the feeling, that Bryant Tutas is their exclusive agent! I tried quite a few real estate agents before I finally came to you, and you jumped into action from day one! My property had been on the market for more than a year; within days of contacting you I had my first real offer, and very soon the house was in contract. We just closed a few days ago, and I am so grateful for all your help. Thank you Bryant, for everything!"Do NOT be foreclosed on! Avoid foreclosure. Short Sales DO close.

Short Sale Companies Sign Up: Show Me The Money

Posted by Marcelo Da Silva on November 9, 2009 at 8:30am

When the REOs started hitting the market 2 years ago, the supply on the listing side was overwhelming REOs. This caused agents being solicited by companies offering the secret road to obtain REO. Not only that but some REO companies also saw an opportunity to have extra revenue to their bottom line by charging a fee to be in their list. Now that the lenders are realizing that the best way to maximize their profits is short sale, the REO inventory has decreased. And believe it or not, due to increase in short sale supply, there are already companies charging a fee in exchange for short sale business. Do you think it is worth?

www.ShortSaleSuperStars.com has a new look!!!! MAYBE?

Posted by Bryant Tutas on November 8, 2009 at 3:00am

OK so I guess unless you are blind you have noticed the new layout and look for ShortSaleSuperStars. There is one slight problem though........I didn't ask Wendy and she hasn't seen it!!! This look could be very temporary.So.....am I going to be in trouble? I guess we'll have to wait and see.Anyway....here are my thoughts.The site needed to have a cleaner look.Wendy and I had talked about getting our "product pitches" off the front page. So I moved the pitches and replaced them with buttons and a "Short Sale Training" tab. We will also be adding a "SuperStar Store" tab that will have tee shirts, mugs and other ShortSaleSuperStar goodies.The wording on and the position of the tabs were changed. It looks more like a news site (I think).The profile questions have been changed. The change was made to make it easier to "Find An Agent"Blog posts now have a new tab "Short Sale News" and the forums are under "Q&A".The tab for groups was changed to "Lender Info".These changes were designed to make the site more consumer friendly. We want potential Sellers and Buyers to be able to find us and be able to navigate the site with ease.So what do you think? Wendy.....do you still love me or am I in trouble. I can fix it I promise.Please give us you feedback.

Treasury to Encourage Short Sales By Kate Berry

Posted by Elaine Edwards on November 7, 2009 at 3:03pm

September 9, 2009¦AdvertisementThe Treasury Department plans to announce financial incentives for servicers to pursue short sales and deeds in lieu of foreclosure for troubled homeowners who do not qualify for the Obama administration's loan-modification program.In a short sale, a home is sold for less than is owed on the mortgage, whose holder accepts a discounted payoff. It is often considered less costly than a foreclosure.Under the Treasury plan, which is expected to be announced this month, servicers would get a $1,000 "success fee" when a short sale is completed, according to short sale experts who have been briefed on the policy. The home seller would receive up to $1,500 to assist with relocation expenses, similar to the "cash for keys" programs that various servicers offer.Treasury officials are working with an advisory committee to determine how to accommodate the holders of second liens, which have been a big hurdle to completing short sales. Much of the debate around short sales is centered on whether the holders of second liens will receive a fixed amount or a percentage of the short sale price."Second liens have been a considerable problem for short sales," said Matt McCabe, the president of Loan Resolution Corp., a Scottsdale, Ariz., company that helps lenders work out defaulted mortgages.Currently there is no uniform policy for banks to accept a payoff for a second lien in order to complete a short sale, McCabe said.Many of the largest banking companies have adopted their own internal policies, which vary. For example, in March, Bank of America Corp. adopted a new policy requiring that 5% of the short sale proceeds go to pay the second lien in situations where there is no equity available, particularly for standalone home equity lines of credit. (B of A's old policy required that 10% of the balance of the home equity loan be paid.)A Treasury spokeswoman, Meg Reilly, confirmed Thursday that a directive on short sales will be issued this month but she declined to provide details.In April, Treasury said it planned to offer incentives for short sales the following month, but the policy has taken took longer to implement.

Bank of America Short Sale News.....Phase 1 taking longer..

Posted by Dawn Barrier eXp Realty Vegas on November 6, 2009 at 8:43am

I have been recently informed that Phase 1 can now take up to 15 days!! It has been a 10 day process.So much for improvements and getting them closed sooner.Phase 2 still up to 30 days.I've noticed a lot of problems in the last 30 days at BOFA, negotiators disappearing, files being to new negotiators, negotiators not responding to emails or calls, saying short sales are open then saying oops not in the system, etc..My recent negotiators for my Las Vegas Short Sale were great at responding in a timely fashion,,,wish I could get them on all my files!

Day in the Life of a Tampa Bay Florida Short Sale Agent

Posted by Lana Robbins GRI on November 3, 2009 at 9:30am

Day in the Life of a Tampa Bay Florida Short Sale AgentI have experience working with short sales. The last ones were in Clearwater Florida and two in New Port Richey Florida.Today I am working on another one in New Port Richey Florida. This means that I will be calling the lender... repeatedly.So far the buyers have not walked. Sometimes they do though the ones who are willing and able to wait it out are successful.

GET IT OVER WITH!

Posted by Sue Burg on October 30, 2009 at 10:49am

At a recent bi-weekly meeting one of our top agents was asked to speak on the short sale subject. Many of us were frustrated and he seemed to get a high number of his through the system. Well, the first thing he says is "lets just get this foreclosure stuff over with and foreclose on all the houses that are obviously going to get posted" A cheer went up from most of us. He went on to explain that if they were all forclosed on then we could just get on with the work of selling them instead of all the other BS that goes along with them. No one wants to loose their home. The loan modification program is not working, its so obvious my 12 year old niece knows this. 28% of all homes that actually get a loan modification approved are back in trouble within 3 months. So, if we just foreclose on them we can move them out of the system and get to the business of doing real deals on real homes that are going to sell without all the hassel, trouble, and legalities.I personally have seen agents pulling Motrin out of their desks because they have just been on the phone dealing with the banks, seller, buyer and anyone else involved with a short sale. It's heart breaking when you loose a house after so much trouble. It's even worse when your buyer just dosen't want to deal with the trauma of it any longer and they decide to wait. They get emotionally drained. Now, you may have lost a client because of frustration and time. We do everything we can to keep them motivated. But, its hard to keep holding someones hand while writting yet another offer that already has 5 to 15 offers on it. No matter how you counsel your client if they like that house your going to write that offer, it's your job. So, if we get the "dead" houses out of the market then we can move on. I know a lot of you are going "thats a horrible thing to say. People do not want to loose their houses and they should be able to go through the process". I've been in the healthcare field for 18 years. Death and renewal is a part of my life. I can turn myself on. I can turn myself off. Being a realtor is like that. We are supposed to do our job without emotion, be impartial and give our clients our best counsel everyday. You can't do that if you are crying about their house. It's our job to help them get out from under a bad situation, counsel them about it, refer them to the right counsel and get it done. I feel awful whenever I need to counsel someone whose gone Tax Delinquent. I really feel for the home owner, It hurts me on a level no one will ever know. But, the truth is, if I get emotional I can't give them the right counsel. I can't help them get over it and move on. Thats when they loose the house to auction. I have empathy, not sympathy (look up the difference). So many of us need to learn to turn flip the switch. We are in a hard time, but we need to keep our heads and get our jobs done.
