Considering a Short sale
May 3, 2012The short sale niche is certainly growing in importance and popularity. Lenders are overwhelmed with foreclosure properties, and the word is that they’re getting a little easier to deal with on short sale offers. A successful short sale helps the lender to avoid yet one more foreclosure home on their books.
You are going to need a buyer specialist team of agents that are experienced in the process. Some sellers need an attorney or short sale specialist involved in their sale. We can determine what the situation is and how the best way will be to make an offer on this property that the agent has listed as a Short Sale.
We work short sales regularly, and we have a file of lenders and, in it we have information we have gathered on how particular lenders have processed a short sales in the past, the time line involved, and the percentage that actually make it to closing and if our team can find that out quickly you will be alot more successful in working Shortsales. Some lenders are much more difficult, and a short sale can take a lot longer with these lenders! Delaying the process and buying your next home.
Lenders and banks LOVE paperwork and procedure. They’ll have their pet forms, there will be a lot of information to be gathered and entered on these forms. Our agents are always working to make sure we are aware of the timeline and status of the Seller and agents involvement with the Short sale process. We have been negotiating a short sale and before we can finalize a contract it goes into foreclosure and you have wasted several months just negotiating a contract on a home. We have processes in place that can minize how bound you are to these offers.
Determining what kind of loan is involved can help determine What type of loan or loans are against the property? VA, FHA, Conventional, USDA, or something else can make a difference in the lender’s response to offers. Some loan types give them more flexibility, and some are quite limiting in how the lender can negotiate an offer. Loans guaranteed by government or other entities can provide a hint as to how far the lender can come down based on how much they’ll recoup from the guarantee.
While we are out there fighting to get the best deal for you it’s not wise to make a low offer and submit it to the bank. Lenders don’t act in the same way as individuals in negotiations. A ridiculously low offer can often result in a flat rejection and prevent a counter offer to keep you in the game.
So if you are interested in a Shortsale property, before you make an offer on a Short Sale, give us a call and tell us how we can help you better your success in working with a Shortsale.
