IL – One of the Stop Foreclosure Institute members talked to a homeowner recently about a short sales. Her house was close to being foreclosed upon.
She had thought about short selling the house. But, she had heard from her friends that banks don't really like short sales and never pursued the option.

The fact is that banks are better setup for foreclosures. It is only with the recent historic drop in home values that short sales have more common.
Banks always knew that a short sale would reduce their losses compared to a foreclosure. Even the federal government agrees. That is why congress added short sale incentives to the recent loan modification laws.
FHA is another quasi federal agency that prefers short sales over foreclosure. They pay lenders $750 to process a short sale. I don't think they pay them anything extra to process a foreclosure.
The bottom line is that most lenders do prefer short sales over foreclosure. The reason is best explained by a recent study done by Boston Consulting Group.
The study found that a short sale nets a lender 20% more than a foreclosure. Banks understand numbers and want to reduce their losses. Thinking about a short sale?

Dennis Toomey, RE/MAX Action, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not associated or affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?
Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.
However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.
If you stop paying your mortgage, then you could lose your home and damage your credit. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.
This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.
You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
