Fort Walton Beach VA Compromise Sale

This Fort Walton Beach Florida VA Compromise Sale home just went under contract after one day on the market. Located in the Overbrook subdivision at 776 Overbrook, it attracted multiple offers due to competitive pricing.  Some of the features of this home included striking ceiling heights, wood laminate floors, generous kitchen and Florida room.

The VA Compromise Sale is a type of short sale for home mortgage loans back by the Veterans Administration. This VA Compromise Sale is serviced by Bank of America. Some of the requirements to get a VA Compromise Sale approved are:

  • The borrower (seller of the VA Compromise Property) must have a hardship
  • A VA Appraisal must be conducted
  • Net proceeds from the sale are to be a minimum of 85.05% of the appraised value.  This is a change in the program effective October 2013 from the prior years net value requirement of 88.13%.

This Fort Walton Beach Florida VA Compromise Sale will be transacted with Bank of America by fax and email, as opposed to most other Bank of America short sales which are processed through the Equator online platform.  The expected time for approval is about 60 days.

The most overlooked seller's "hardship" for a VA compromise sale is Orders for reassignment.

Lenn - Good point. This one has orders, too. I suggest using original orders and subsequent orders if the service member has PCS'd a few times and have rented out the house in the interim.  I label orders "Hardship Page 2 - Military PCS Orders", and attach it to the hardship letter.

Wendy.  Sadly, in our market, the home the military member has to sell doesn't always have equity to sell.  VA compromise sales take a bit longer simply because few agents understand and will show them.
