We have found that when submitting your complete short sale package to a bank it make easer if you include a “cover sheet” for each section of documents you are sending. (i.e.: paystubs, bank statements, taxes, purchase agreement, etc.) Cover sheets simply state the document that will follow in large bold type in the center of a blank page. They help to organize the package and present the documents more clearly to the negotiator. Often times some documents are overlooked because they get lost in the middle of the hundred or so pages you are faxing. We have experienced a much higher success rate with short sale packages the first time using cover sheets.

Regarding Bank of America’s system Equator, when you are responding to the counter offers in this system, make sure you pay attention to the commission percentages. The system automatically defaults to 5%. The bank/investor may be allowing the full 6%, but if you accept the offer at five you are going to have a problem trying to get them to change it back to six! So just make sure you double check the percentage before you hit the submit button.
