Bank of America Shrinks Window for Short Sale Backup Offers

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Charfen Institute


In an effort to shorten overall cycle times, Bank of America has reduced the window for submitting a backup offer on a short sale from 14 days to eight days after the initial offer becomes invalid. Once a backup offer becomes necessary:
  • Contact your short sale specialist immediately to let him or her know you have a backup offer to submit.
  • Within eight calendar days, resubmit the listing data, submit the short sale offer, and upload the offer documents and supporting documents.
Note: All backup offers will require approval, regardless of similarities to the previous offer. If no backup offer is available:
  • The short sale will be closed in Equator by your short sale specialist.
  • You should return to marketing the property.
  • You may initiate a new short sale in Equator when you receive a new offer on the property.
