CUT 2 WEEKS OFF YOUR SHORT SALE WAITING TIME BY DOING THE FOLLOWING.......
I just got off the phone with a friend at Countrywide. I had to post this tip almost immediately! When sending your short sale packages to them, break the faxes up into sections in no more then 10 pages!!! if your package is 50 pages, then you will send 5 separate faxes!!!! (10 pages per fax)...
Send the financials in one fax, the contract in another, etc, etc. Keep the sections together if you can! And always have the account number at the top of every faxed page you send of course!
WHY WHY WHY WHY?????
Well, turns out that faxes that are 10 pages or less get imaged almost immediately, where faxes greater then 10 pages can take up to 2 weeks!!!! THAT IS A HUGE 2 WEEKS CUT OFF YOUR WAIT TIME!!! Cut your short sale time line down by 2 weeks just by doing this simple fix!!!
Countrywide is claiming they are trying to streamline the process (yeah right), but hey, this little bit of information helps! get the word out!!!
Best of luck!!
