Tarp Money, Short Sales and Chase Bank, Can Any One Help?

By: Elaine VonCannon, ABR, SRES, REALTOR, NOTARY, PROPERTY MANAGER, TEAM LEADER, AWARD WINNER, RE/MAX Hall of Fame

I am having so much trouble with the short sales department of Chase Bank.  Chase holds the 1st mortgage on a property I have listed.  Wachovia held the 2nd.  Finally Wachovia bowed to Chase.

This happened after a Trustee Sales was to be done.  In fact 15 minutes before the sale was to take place.  Then 2 weeks later Wachovia bowed to Chase. 

Chase had already countered an offer, and the counter had been accepted. Chase represented by M. Harmon has not sent the contract back or an approval letter.

M. Harmon, who works in the short sale department at Chase said the case was closed and that the short sale would not happen.  Then M. Harmon's supervisor was contacted and the case was reopen.  M. Harmon left me a voice mail 2 weeks ago and said the case was active.  Still no one has heard again from M. Harmon or Chase. 

I have no email for this man M. Harmon, only one number and a fax number.  When you call M. Harmon is always goes to his voice mail.  He never returns calls.

The process with the offer and counter started the 1st of February and it is still going on.  Does anyone know a person a Chase that I can talk to move this matter forward?  Please contact me and let me know.

The buyer is getting tired of waiting and you cannot blame them.  Chase is stalling, why I do not know when you have a buyer who wants to close.  Why would they want a property with an HOA to pay and to set for months?  They will not get much more money that what the buyers has accepted from the counter they did.    It makes no sense like M. Harmon of Chase bank makes no sense.

STOP FLUSHING MONEY

down the dain, this is what Chase

Banks seems to be doing!

Countrywide is exactly the same, except Tippany Francis (the person who wrecked two of my short sales on the same property) doesn't have voicemail.  Just an automated system that tells you to call back later. 

The best reason I can come up with for the banks refusing to allow shortsales is because they can keep showing a loss in their financial reports and ask for more government bail out money.  Then, once they've foreclosed on thousands of properties and received all the bailout money there is to be had, they will sell the property to the federal government and let it be their problem.  In the mean time their CEOs are still making $250K+/yr plus benefits, plus private car services, plus catered lunch meetings, plus private offices that look more like San Francisco penthouses, plus an expense account, plus a hot, young secretary, plus......

And the homeowners have no protections, have no options, have no money, have no home and the tax payers continue to pay to support the leisurely lifestyle of the CEOs.  My client was the seller, she and her husband didn't buy a bad loan or a loan they couldn't afford, after they bought the house he left her and their teenage daughter and never paid child support or spousal support.  The seller continued to make her payments and raise her daughter by herself; until last summer.  When her hours were cut at work for budgeting purposes (did I mention she's a nurse at a retirement home?) she could no longer afford her house payment.  Throughout the past 9 months my client has tried to remain positive and keep the foreclosure from her daughter but now they are living in an apartment only a fraction of the size of their average-sized house and she still is not receiving any of the assistance that was promised to distressed homeowners. 

Personally, I don't disagree with the government's spending, or even how much they spent, just what they spent it on.
