Wachovia Walks on Water?!

 

Well, you might think so after seeing what they do with their Orange County short sales.

 

Today, I spoke with a client about selling their home as a short sale.  During our discussion, I learned that Wachovia is their lender.  This is actually great news for a short sale seller in Orange County.

 

Options to Foreclosure in Orange County

 

WHY?

This is great news because Wachovia has a great new program for its Orange County short sales.

  • Local Wachovia representatives will meet with the seller and their agent to gather information.
  • Wachovia will quickly order an appraisal or broker price opinion (BPO).
  • Wachovia will have a response to a short sale request in 7 to 10 days.
  • Wachovia will provide a "net" proceeds amount without need for an offer.

Why is this is a big deal?  There are several reasons.

  • Most lenders won't consider a short sale package until a purchase offer is received.
  • It can take four months or more for some lenders to respond to an offer which can result in frustrated buyers, sellers and agents.
  • This gives sellers closure quickly.

Hi Christine - It is not just in your area.  Wachovia is working miracles in the same way here in Northern California.  As soon as you get a listing, you can submit the info to them and get an approval so you can enter in MLS that it is an approved short sale and close an escrow with little or no delay.  It is great, and I wish all lenders could have similar programs.

Wow, now how do we market specifically to Wachovia customers and avoid BoA?
