Real Estate Trends - Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill and the Greater Antelope Valley March 29, 2012
Things are going to be getting faster and faster for short sales, as the settlement between the 5 major banks and the state attorneys general go into effect.  Requirements for short sales are being adopted by the five biggest mortgage servicers that should move the short sale process along faster, and better yet they have a bit built-in. 

The servicer must let the borrower there are any needed documents missing within 30 day.  

Servicers have 30 days to let the borrowers know what they decide on regarding the approval once they get the short sale request.

If a deficiency payment is needed the borrower immediately by the servicer and given a estimated amount of the deficiency.

An internal board must be established by the servicer to review all short sale that are requested.

And now the bit, if the servicer (bank) is in violation (taking longer then 30 days on more then 10% short sales requested) can be fined 1 million for the first one and 5 million for repeaters.
