Short Sales: How To Find Out Who Owns The Loan So You Can Hold Your Bank Accountable

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Action
IL – In our last post, we talked about how you could contact the entity that owns a loan. But, some people were wondering how they could find out who owned their loan. "I thought ABC Bank owned my loan. I send them a payment every month", they told us. Well, here is how to research the owner of your loan. Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure. Between 65% and 70% of all loan losses are borne by Uncle Sam. He has direct/indirect ownership or insures against losses thru the following entities: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and the Veterans Loan Program (VA.) Here is how to find out if your loan is owned by any of those entities. Fannie Mae. http://loanlookup.fanniemae.com/loanlookup/ Freddie Mac. https://ww3.freddiemac.com/corporate/ FHA. Towards the top right corner of the first page of the mortgage, there should be a small square. Inside the square, it will say "FHA Case Number 091-424240-703." The case number will be different, but it will still be an FHA loan. VA. On the mortgage, 1-4 pages past the signature page will be a VA Rider. At the top it will say "NOTICE: THIS LOAN IS NOT ASSUMABLE WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS." That is a VA loan. Now you know how to hold your lender accountable. The remaining loans are probably owned by that bank. If that is the case, then you threaten to contact their stockholders. Anyone want to "crash" a stockholder meeting? Thinking about a short sale?

Our services have not been reviewed or endorse 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. We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. 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.
