short sale postsAgents: this recap is for you. For several years, Short Sale Expeditor® has been providing information about short sales that is designed to help the Realtor® navigate the short sale transaction.

Here are five articles that have received great accolades and that we think you will find helpful if you are working short sales or if you plan to work ‘em in the near future. 

HAFA Program – Latest Changes Just when you thought you understood the HAFA Program, they went and changed some of the guidelines. Check out the latest here.

Bank of America and Relocation Assistance B of A now offers a new relocation assistance program that can provide up to $30000 (that’s 30 thousand) to certain short sale sellers.

Wells Fargo and Equator Short Sale Processing Lots of people complain about it, but everyone wants to learn the ins and outs of Wells Fargo’s use of Equator for short sale processing.

Are Short Sale Incentives Taxable? Always a funny question – are you really going to say ‘no’ to a free 10k if you have to give a percentage of it to the IRS?

2012 Is the Year of the Short Sale There are so many great reasons for underwater borrowers and real estate agents to embrace the short sale transaction in 2012. This article recounts a few.

We also just want to take a minute to thank everyone who subscribes to, follows, or comments on the blog. If there is anything that we can do to support you in your real estate business, please do not hesitate to let us know.

This is a tremendous resource.  Thank you!  I don't deal with short sales on the same level as Realtors, but this information will prove helpful when the questions come up --- and they do with some frequency.

Great post!

Thanks for the idea about writing on short sale relocation incentives. I think I'll swipe it, LOL. Of course, I'll do my own slant.

Did you ever figuire out the formula for the BofA incentive? On mine, the homeowner is getting $17,142.50. The original loan amount is 1.1 million. The proactive listing price is $834,500. 

I asked the negotiator and she said it is a formula, but it is not based on original loan value.
