Step 2. Communication with the Lender
In order to speak with the lender on your behalf, we will need to obtain and submit your written authorization. Then, we will call the lender and ask for the Short Sale application packet. We will communicate with the decision-maker in the loss mitigation department directly and regularly for updates.
Step 3: Develop the Proposal to the Lender
We will develop the proposal which must be well organized and done professionally.
Step 4. List Your Home
Most likely, we will list your home at the full market value or just below initially because the lender wants to see we are trying to get as much out of the property we could. Then, we will aggressively lower the price until we receive offers.
Step 5: Obtain an Offer & Submit a Proposal
Once we have an offer, you will need to approve the offer first and, we will submit it with the proposal packet to the lender for approval. If your lender accepts the initial offer, the buyer must be able to close in 30 days.
Step 6: Negotiate & Close the Deal
We will negotiate with your lender(s) and get the acceptance letter. In our negotiation, we will ask to report the short sale to the credit department as “Paid as Agreed”. We want the lender to report it as “Settlement in full” with a full release of the lien. Typically, the deal must close within 30 days of the lender’s acceptance. The buyer has to be ready with cash or funding. Seller does have to attend the closing.
