Santa Maria – Orcutt CA Wells Fargo Short Sale Approved in 31 Days!  HAFA Approval Received in 18 Days!

Yes, Santa Maria – Orcutt CA short sales can be short!  And yes, HAFA short sales can be short!  In fact, this one was approved very quickly.  HAFA short sales allow the seller to receive a $3000 relocation incentive at the completion of the short sale.  HAFA can add another approval level to the process and sometimes slow it down a bit.  In this case, we were able to obtain HAFA short sale approval from Wells Fargo in 18 days and approval of the short sale offer in 13 additional days.

What is the key to obtaining quick short sale approval?  Presenting an organized and complete short sale package to the lender one day one, proficiency with the specific lender’s processing, and consistent follow up.  This requires a experience and a system. We were also able to obtain 2 postponements of the Trustee’s auction sale so that this Santa Maria – Orcutt CA short sale could be negotiated and approved.
