Sellers Short Sale Financial Packets
Sellers always ask why they have to turn in their short sale financial packets before I will list there house??? Well, it's because it's a whole lot easier to get the information upfront than it is when a contract comes in. And of course, if we are doing our jobs, we want the entire packet submitted to the lenders immediately. It is so difficult chasing down new tax returns or bank statements when you are under the gun trying to get their packets submitted to the banks for review. It's the professional thing to do, and we're professionals right?

Good advice Debbie! I definitely agree....my only thought is that the banks I have dealt with ask for the docs again if they're more than 30 days old (bank statements & pay stubs).

With many of our short sale sellers in Ahwatukee, Chandler, Gilbert, Phoenix and Tempe, I tell them that "it takes the same amount of paperwork to get you out of the loan as it did to get you in."
The only exception would be pre-approved or streamlined short sales with Bank of America or Wachovia. Either way however, it still makes the most sense to get the paperwork completed up front. Great advice all the way around!
