Another Successful Short Sale With Citi Mortgage.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Tutas Towne Realty, Inc and Garden Views Realty, LLC BK607690

Property:

3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhouse in Kissimmee Florida.

Hardship:

Investor owned property. Loss of income.

1st Mortgage with Citi Mortgage for 92,000. Agreed to accept $55,200 or 60% of the balance owed.

2nd Mortgage with Chase in the amount of $62,400. Agreed to accept $3,000 to release the lien and an additional $12,000 to release liabilty.

Seller contributed $1,700 to closing and $12,000 to the 2nd.

The transaction took 90 days from contract to closing.

Challenges:

Getting a squating tenant out on day of closing. I finally had to go over and put on the "ugly face" to make it happen.

Do NOT be foreclosed on! Avoid foreclosure. Short Sales DO close.

Hi Broker Bryant...Just keep racking up those closings.  I can hear the sighs of relief from everyone involved all the way up here in Virginia.

It sure is nice to see that both were in agreement and that it got to closing.  90 days is surely a quick one?

You sure it was the "ugly face" and not your weapon for ridiculous counter offers?

BB - Congratulations on another success.  Do we get to see the ugly face sometime? Or is that a secret weapon?

Great job BB.  Hope you have thousands more.  Or actually, I hope we get into a market where short sales won't be a necessity.

Squating tenants are getting more and more common, and can create a real problem is agents do not know how to use techniques such as the "ugly face." Congrats on the closing.

I am so glad to see fewer and fewer short sales coming onto the market and those that are listed seem to suddenly be closing quicker!
