OK, so I did NOT count all the calls and faxes (though we do track them online), BUT, today we FINALLY got approval on a NIGHTMARE B of A short sale (and we DID go through 6 Buyers).
Lessons learned:
1 - Never Ever Quit on your client - many times the client had had it, as had we, but, persistence gets it done
2 - Condo Fees - the Investor WILL pay them. My negotiator said they would NOT pay any delinquent condo fees, that the Investor never pays condo fees in Virginia. A few calls directly tot he Investor (circumventing B of A), and, condo fees are being PAID (If you want to see proof, email me at BBenita@Comcast.net). My approval letter has more than $9600 in condo fees APPROVED on a $115,000 short sale
To All,
Remember this:
The people you deal with at the banks are called "negotiators" for a reason, hang in there.
