Lenders Offer Cash to Encourage Short Sales

By
Real Estate Agent with The Newman Group Real Estate

Homeowners if you are facing foreclosure, DO NOT just walk away consider a SHORT SALE.  Wachovia bank is quietly offering homeowners a cash incentive to pusue a short sale instead of foreclosure.  This is being done without much fanfare and without much press.  Currently Wachovia is the ONLY bank I am aware of that is considering this option and as far as I can tell is only being done is California.  However, I would expect multiple lenders to follow and this to be available for Maryland Short Sales soon.  As I wrote previously, the Treasure Dept. is finalizing a plan that will provide the same type of compensation. View the entire article on Wachovias'  short sale plan .

Holy crap, a bank that sees the light. I'm so glad I was sitting down when I read this.

My local board just sponsored a seminar held by Wachovia that explains their all-new electronic approach to short sales, and their guaranteed 60-day close.

This is GREAT!!

Why are all the other major banks not doing the same?
