  You are entering. . . .

 You're travelling to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound...

but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land, whose boundaries are only that of the imagination... 

you're entering... the Short Sale Zone... 


Have you noticed?
There is a new trend that is evolving in America.
It slowly started growing and growing and now. . .

We can’t ignore it anymore. .

Do you know what it is?

FORECLOSURES

 It’s a tsunami of foreclosures that has swept over our land creating havoc in all our neighborhoods.

 More and more Americans are leaving their homes and slowly becoming just another number of the crisis playing in the country right now.

 Some,  are just leaving their homes and simple abandoning them . . . because they can’t pay for it any longer

Some they even dare to call them . . .THE LUCKY ONES! . . .

YES WE CAN!

 WAKE UP AMERICA!

 The number of homeowners that could be underwater on their mortgages could be over 50% by the year 2010

 50% !



The Great Disappearing Act for 2008-2009
savings
   PUFF!!.. . .it is GONE!

Homeowners trying to keep their homes above water. . . they lost it all !

A lifetime of savings. . . simply gone!

 

 

Who started all?

Greedy BANKERS 

 Who got Bailed out? 

Greedy BANKERS 

After receiving   help from the Obama administration , they started using that money to purchase other small failing banks

to get bigger. . and bigger

later,

they felt a little  guilty and they started helping distressed families to keep their homes. .

 HOW?

 LOAN MORTIFICATIONS. . .er I mean MODIFICATIONS

real estate md

 

What exactly is a LOAN MODIFICATION?

Let me explain it this way. .

Let’s say you buy a car for $20,000

You pay your monthly notes every month $500 per month

Suddenly you find out that your car is only worth $10,000

And you lose your job. . That same day

You beg the car company to reduce your payments to $400 per month

They say YES WE CAN and suddenly your payments drop to $400 per month

But you still owe them $20,000 . . . on a $10,000 car!!??

 A loan MORTIFICATION is when you drive a $10,000 car and owe $20,000 to the bank

A Loan MODIFICATION is when you drive a $10,000 car and owe $10,000 to the bank

Over 47 % of loan modifications FAIL after the THIRD MONTH

Short SalesWTF?

Modifications aren’t the solution!~

One reason why many loan modification efforts fail is that overdue payments are added to the loan balance with no 

other modifications made to the loan, so the new payments and new terms are the same 

but  the overall balance ends up larger than before.

 

Homeowners are getting the shaft. .with Government supplied Vaseline!

Short SalesAUUUUUUUUHHHH !!!

So then we enter the SHORT SALE ZONE. .

I wanted to believe that the bankers were hit with an avalanche of short sales applications

They just couldn’t handle the numbers.

Poor bankers, they were so surprised as many of us where. . .

they are  just so many. . .

Ok, I rationalized, a big company that gets hit with such an avalanche of distressed owners 

will have to adjust quickly to handle the pressure.

I  gave them one month?

No, no, no. . that was just not enough time.

3 months maybe?

Still not enough. . .after all they have to train all these people.

10 Months?

Maybe . .

TRY TWO YEARS!

Today they still don’t have a FREAKING CLUE !

 
Short Saleswhy?, why? , why?

Why aren't these banks getting their act together and APPROVE these short sales?

KNOWING That if they FORECLOSED. . they will sure get LESS MONEY at the end.

I asked myself again . .why?, why? , why?

 Then one day, I read a post from one of my peers in Miami Sidney Jimenez

He theorized that the reason the banks keep PLAYING with us with ALL THE SHORT SALES

Was  because they are the LOAN SERVICERS

They make money each month every time they service a loan

If the homeowner pays or not . . they are still getting paid for servicing that loan

 That explains how some of the smaller banks are so eager to approve our short sales.

 BU THE GREEDY BANKERS?

It behooves them to STRING THE SHORT SALE NEGOTIATION A LONG TIME!

 SO THEY CAN STILL GET PAID!

 
“But I already faxed you my client’s short sale package 3 times Mr. Banker!”

“It doesn’t matter, our fax machine ate it up. .fax it a fourth time and call us in four weeks to confirm that we received the fax”

 Now you know what happens when  you enter. . .

 short sales md

 
As soon as you send and fax the first authorization letter. .unknowingly you’ve entered  

short sales md

 
Where faxes become an illusion and a BPO order is like a dental appointment with no anesthesia

 The world slows down to a crawl. . . 

where it will take a 5 minute call for you and me to confirm a short sale package 

and another five minutes to assign it to a negotiator. .

In

short sales md

 That takes 3-4 weeks. . .if you call them everyday. . 4-6 if you call them weekly.

 

Meanwhile the INVESTORS (Owners of the loans) get the same Vaseline treatment

Short SalesAUUUUUUUUHHHH !!!

They aren’t in hurry to lose that account. .

They simply don’t care that the investor may end up losing thousands and thousands of dollars more.

 Now you know why the banks after nearly 2 years of short sales. . they don’t have their act together.

It’s all about them. . . 

how much money they generate each month to service thousands and thousands  of loans

Meanwhile. .

Kids are going to school wondering if their home will be there when they came back that afternoon.

Couples are getting a divorced because the overwhelming pressures of losing a home

 
Entire families are being affected by the crisis  generated by the greedy bankers

While the Government quietly expects over 15 million homes could be affected by this crisis, 

They don’t count that each of those homes may have up to 3 people living inside.

15 x 3 = 45 million people among them many children will be affected by all this

 
Yet. .the bankers still want us to operate in the SHORT SALE ZONE

 If this video doesn’t hit you between the eyes nothing ever will. .

 

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I DO SHORT SALES . . .


Please help  by getting involved and FORCE these bankers for a standardized  short sale package 

To be approved or disapproved within a reasonable amount  time.

 Because ENTIRE FAMILIES LIVES depend on it. .

Rachael:  Thanks for re-blogging. . our children are precious and they need a voice.

I had enough when I took a short sale listing for a family with 4 children. . while evaluating their property, I opened their refrigerator and it was almost empty!
