Yes, Banks Are Approving Short Sales in Seattle & Bellevue.

By
Real Estate Agent with Isaac Real Estate &TriStar Mortgage

Bellevue WA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute sometimes receives e-mails from people that short sales are impossible. Well, short sales are not impossible. They just take time. Here is an example.

The Stop Foreclosure Institute was attempting a short sale on a property. The bank turned down an offer for $220,000 on the house.

Today it looks like an offer for 185k will be approved. Why is that? The first offer was submitted 4 months ago.

The bank did an appraisal. The appraiser thought the house was worth $265,000. The lender rejected the offer because it didn't meet their guidelines.

We put the home back on the market and waited for another offer. The property values continued to decline. The next offer came in for $185,000 several months later.

The bank re-opened the short sale process and ordered a new appraisal. This appraiser thought the house was worth $197,000.

The bank approved the short sale offer. As you can see, short sales can get approved with a little luck, time, and persistence. With some luck, the bank will see that the short sale makes financial sense and approve it.

We've seen over 50% of our short sales sell, get approved, and close in 3-4 months. And that's the first attempt at negotiations.

The majority of the remainder will get approved, but we will have to submit more offers.

No, short sales are not impossible to get through, they just take a lot of banging on heads some times to get through.  Some of the banks are getting better though.  Of course as soon as I get a processor that I really like on a file the deal died and by the time I got another one, we got assigned a new rep that is only so-so.

But I am VERY happy to say that I got the bank to waive a $600,000 deficiency on a house down in the Bellevue area a month or so back.  That was a feat!

Good for you Jacquie!  These negotiators are such a pain to deal with soemtimes.  If only we could pick our negotiators, this would be so much easier.
