Bank Of America Short Sale

I have seen a lot of negative on Activerain about Bank of America short sales.  I have had the opposite experience with them.

The first one is a short sale in Livingston CA.  I received multiple offers on this one.  I submitted a very good cash offer to BofA through the equator system.   It did take a little while for them to respond.  They ordered their BPO and about a week later we got a counter offer.  

They wanted $10,000 more than the buyer had offered and wanted the seller to make a cash contribution of $10,000 and sign a promissory note for $20,000.   This was not acceptable to either the buyer or the seller so I countered back to the original offer and received an ok on it today.   I guess the bank had to at least try.

The second one is in Ripon Ca.  This one was not through Equator.com.  The asset manager I have been working with on this one has been awsome.  He is very easy to reach by either email or the phone and he has responded to my questions in a very timely manor.

We are scheduled to close this one on this Friday the 17th.

 

 

I have two new Bank of America short sale listings coming up this week.  I have been pleasantly surprised by the BofA short sale dept.

Bank of America short sale has been improving and they are making strides to make it better.. There are still some issues with their short sale,but they've greatly improved from the mess it was last year.

Keji - So true.  I think most of the banks are making an effort to make the short sale process go smoother.  Most of them still have a long way to go though.

Lately I have been loving Bank of America for short sales.  They are working really hard to work with us now.  Better dealings with them then many other banks.

Stella - I agree, it does seem that BofA is trying to make short sales work.  I am listing two more BofA short sales today so I guess I will put them to the test.
