Will people get relief due to Bank of America's latest decision?

Well now Bank of America has decide to stop foreclosures in all 50 states! This is a significant move by one of this country's largest financial institutions. California, which had many distress homeowners finally made a list. The only question now is if distressed consumers will benefit by having more options available to them?

This could help in expediting short sales and avoid foreclosures which are obviously being processed in a questionable manner. Depending on what the outcome of all of this is let's hope for some banking reform so that all banks are on the same page. No more of having different processes fro each bank. I'm not going to hold my breath on that one but I will cross my fingers.

Victor, I have to be honest I don't have warm fuzzies about this.  This will probably now be the next thing that our federal government decides they need to run.

I am guessing this will GREATLY delay things....more reasons for Servicers to "drag out" teh process.

I do know that doing forensic loan audits WHILE the short sale is going GREATLY incresaes short sale response times....

I keep reading about the nightmares with BOA and have friends and clients effected by this mess. I am not holding my breathe but my fingers are crossed too! It sure would be nice.

Well, we don't know Victor, this sounds a little suspect to us. Wonder what is up their sleeves...
