Top 10 Reasons To Hire A Real Estate Agent

Top 10 Reasons To Hire A Real Estate Agent

Columbus Short Sales: How Can I Get An Answer On My Offer?

Columbus OH – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Brad. Here was his question.

"I made an offer to buy a short sale about 4 months ago. I have heard nothing except that they are going to re-submit the short sale paperwork to the lender.

I am very frustrated. Is there anything I can do on my end to try to push the process along, or is it all up to the agent? Please help! Brad."

Here was our answer to Brad's Question. It is up to the agent. When you say they are going to re-submit the paperwork it makes me think that something is very wrong.

It take 90 days max to get a yes or no answer on a short sale offer. Someone hasn't been following up with the lender. I have found that if you don't call the lender, then nothing happens with the short sale file.

They agent has to "push" the file along. The bank won't "push" it as they have more files than they can handle. Bottom Line: I would find another house.

Even if you wait it out, you should always be on the lookout for another home to buy. Maybe one where the agent has experience with short sales. Thinking about a short sale?

How To Get Out Of A Jam On Second Mortgage Negotiations On Columbus Short Sales

Columbus OH – Yesterday we discussed how to avoid getting into a jam on short sale negotiations when there are two mortgages on the property.

We received a question from another agent on short sale negotiations. Here was their email.

"I have been working on a file with two mortgages. The second mortgage wants $7,500 or they won't approve the short sale.

The first mortgage will approve the short sale, but they aren't willing to pay the second mortgage a dime. The sellers live elsewhere and do not want to pay anything.

What do you suggest beyond contacting the negotiators and "escalating the short sale file"? Diane."

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.
http://columbusohshortsaleadvisors.com/

Here was our answer to Diane's Question. The good news is that the second mortgage responded fast. You need to convince them to accept a lower payoff.

Here are a few general rules with 1st and 2nd mortgage negotiations.

Rule #1: Most first mortgages will pay the second mortgage 10% of the total amount owed. So, get the second mortgage to give you a payoff.

Then ask the first to allow the second mortgage to get paid 10% of their total.

Rule #2: Fannie and Freddie will only allow $3,000 to second mortgages on a short sale. It doesn't matter how little or much they are owed.

This loan is probably owned by the first mortgage company. Their short sale policies vary all over the place. Here is what I would do from here.

First, get the second mortgage to accept less down, unless they are asking for 10%. Then, escalate the file at the first mortgage. You may have to escalate both files.

The first mortgage not paying the second mortgage a dime it really stupid. The negotiator may think they are smart because they negotiate hard. Good for them.

They are actually stupid, because they are losing money. Send them the example below about another lender that negotiated too hard and lost $50,000. Here is the story.

We met some buyers at an open house. They told us they were buying a house for $272k.

We had a house for sale two doors down from the house they had made an offer on. The house they were looking to buy was a short sale. They mentioned that the short sale had drug out for months.

Something about 3 mortgages and the junior mortgages were hard to work with. We talked to them a couple months later to see if they would consider our listing. They wanted to wait it out for the other house.

The house ended up selling for $225k after those buyers had walked. That's a big loss for the short sale lender. Show those numbers to the first mortgage and ask them to reconsider paying the second mortgage. Thinking about a short sale?

How To Avoid Getting Into A Jam With Second Mortgage Negotiations On Columbus Short Sales

 Columbus OH – We received a question from another agent on short sale negotiations. Here was their email.

"I am having a problem on a short sale and would like to know how to avoid it next time. The first mortgage gave me a price and a net they would allow.

The home sold for enough money to get them the price and their minimum net they said they had to have. We put together the closing statement with the first receiving what they wanted and the second mortgage receiving $9,600.

The second had asked for $15,000 and are saying that they won't accept less than that. Any suggestions on this one? What would have been a better approach? Maybe offer the 2nd a smaller amount to start?

I used the same HUD to present to both, getting the firsts approval first. Please advise. Bonnie."

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure. http://columbusohshortsaleadvisors.com/

Here was our answer to Bonnie's Question.  Here is what I would do to avoid this in the future. Put together two separate closing statements, one for each MTG company.

The first mortgage would see a proposed closing statement with $20,000 going to the second mortgage. Meanwhile the second mortgage would get a proposed closing statement with them receiving $3,000 and the rest going to the first mortgage.

Obviously they are going to get the same HUD at closing. But, you start negotiations with each mortgage company thinking that the other mortgage company is getting a huge sum.

You meet with the final closing statement. They will both be happy because they are getting more than they had originally expected. Now, what can you do now to close this short sale?

This second mortgage negotiator is being a little unreasonable. Most second mortgages only receive $3,000 normally. They should be more than happy receiving $9,600.

Remind them that they get zero in a foreclosure. Show them the docket status for the foreclosure case. If the house is close to foreclosure, then you gain more negotiating power.

Another thing to do is get both of the negotiators on the phone. Have them hash it out between each other. That worked for us on a deal before and it might work for you too. Thinking about a short sale?

A Rant About Lender Incompetence On Columbus Short Sales

Columbus OH – I am so sick of the incompetence and arrogance of people in the banking industry! It seems like the incompetence never ends.

We had a short sale closing last week. The underwriter for the buyer's lender didn't like the way the short sale approval letter was worded. They wouldn't approve the loan until the short sale approval letter was changed.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure. 
http://columbusohshortsaleadvisors.com/

We called up the short sale lender. They said they wouldn't make the change. The buyer's lender said the deal was dead. The problem is that how the short sale approval is written makes no difference to them.

Most title companies have millions of dollars in reserves to solve title problems. The title policy states and guarantees the title, no matter what the short sale approval letter says.

They guarantee that if any problem arises they will write a check and solve the problem. That's why you order title insurance! Apparently this underwriter thought their job duties required them to do the title company's job as well.

We finally called the CEO of the buyer's lender.  We told them that they were out of line. We told them that realtors and home sellers can't just make unrealistic demands.

What if a home seller demanded, "I want to make sure all funds brought to closing have never been laundered or used in the drug trade. We also want the money to be backed by gold."

You and I know that is not going to happen. I am forced to deal with incompetence and power trips with short sale lenders. I sure am not going to put up with it when I'm the customer.

Fortunately, our argument with the CEO's office worked. They realized that they were in the wrong and made an exception for this sale. What is your opinion on this?

Do you think that the lender in this situation is out of line? Would you recommend that we not refer loans to them? Enter your comments below. Thinking about a short sale?

A New Strategy To Make Columbus Short Sales Faster & Easier

Columbus OH – Yesterday we discussed a serious problem affecting the short sale industry. Today, we are going to lay out a strategy that the short sale sellers can use to help solve this problem.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure. http://columbusohshortsaleadvisors.com/

The biggest reason that this problem can continue is because the realtors assisting you never receive a copy of your home's valuation. If we had copies of those valuations, then holding the people accountable would be much easier.

The banks won't give us the information. And we really don't have the right to it. But, you, the home seller, does have a right to it under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.

Here is what you can do to get your hands on your bank's property valuation.

1. Request a complete itemized payoff from your lender. You do this by faxing them a request. Usually you will get an answer in 7-10 business days.

2. Review the payoff to see where the property valuation is itemized. It will usually be called an "Appraisal" or "BPO." If not, it may be included in some other payoff cost.

3. Since this is part of what you owe on this mortgage, then you have a right to a copy under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Fax the lender's legal department a request for a copy of it.

Send a copy of the payoff and circle the spot where you think the BPO payment is. Request a copy for the borrower under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. In addition, also mail the lender's legal department the same request.

If your lender does not comply, then you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at
www.ftc.gov, The Office of Thrift Supervision at www.ots.treas.gov, The FDIC at www.FDIC.gov, and the Comptroller of the Currency at www.helpwithmybank.gov.

Indicate on your correspondence with the lender that if they do not comply, then you will be filing complaints against them.

Once you receive a copy of your home's valuation we can use that date to facilitate the short sale process. Thinking about a short sale?

Why Isn't Anyone Holding These People Accountable On Columbus Short Sales?

Columbus OH – Are you thinking about short selling your home? Here is a way that any seller can help with the short sale. First off, the biggest problem is that there is very little accountability in the short sale industry.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure. http://columbusohshortsaleadvisors.com/

The banks use appraisers and other people to tell them what a house is worth before they sell it. They banks will not approve a short sale offer unless the house is selling for close to what these people tell them it is worth.

The banks use this process to make sure that they are not selling homes for less than they could sell them for after a foreclosure. Here is why there is very little accountability.

Very few people ever look at the valuations turned into the bank. The realtor helping you with your short sale can't access this information. The valuations often have glaring inaccuracies in them.

For example one property was valued at 375k. Because of that valuation a short sale offer for 275k was turned down. We can agree that it would be stupid for a lender to accept 275k for a house worth 375k.

However, the house wasn't worth 375k. It had been on the open market for several months and that was the highest offer received from any home buyer. But, it gets worse.

The home ended up selling as a short sale for $235,000. Yes, that bank lost $40,000. But, why did it happen? Because someone gave the bank an inaccurate property value.

However, that person was never held accountable for their actions. They caused a bank to lose $40,000. But today they are still doing property valuations for banks. It's insane, isn't it?

In the next post we'll detail what you, the short sale seller, can do to help with this problem. Thinking about a short sale?

I can help you short sale your property and get back on your feet. Send me an e-mail at robin.lemmons@kingthompson.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.
