Do You Tell The Short Sale Lender "Buyer Walked"? - 10/18/09 11:22 PM
Great post Wendy !.....
Via Wendy Rulnick "Its Wendy!" Destin Short Sales (Rulnick Realty, Inc.):
Karla Leahy started an interesting discussion on www.ShortSaleSuperstars.com.  She asked "Do you inform the short sale lender when you no longer have an offer?"
From what I’ve seen the thought process behind not divulging the buyer walked is:
1. The lender will complete an appraisal or BPO that will speed up the next approval
2. The seller’s pre-qualification may be completed and ready for the next attempt
3.  With some lenders, you can sneak in a substitute buyer
Bottom line, it “saves time” for the next buyer, the one … (1 comments)
