Special offer

Short Sale Approved!

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Executives Platinum

I just want to thank Select Portfolio Services for finally getting with the program and streamlining the short sale process.  I have been working with them since October on getting a short sale approved.  The first offer we got and they just did not have their act together. I submitted the offer 4 times and after about 1 1/2 months the buyer gave up.

About a month later we got another offer and although I did have to submit the offer twice - we were able to get it approved within 21 days.  There are still some kinks I think they need to work out - but I was able to get the short sale approved and they took over a $125,000 loss.

Although they are taking a huge hit - they realize that a short sale was best for all parties involved. I think that the banks and servicing companies are finally starting to get what is going on and trying to make a very tough situation a little better

Donna:

I agree with you. Lenders with short sales in process left offers unanswered for months. They are beginning to realize that thousands of Sellers are in the same boat. They have to move faster if they don't want to end with a big portfolio of REO's.

Donna, I am working with another lender right now that is a nightmare.  It has taken them 6 weeks to get an autho letter in their system.  We now have an offer of the property and they are telling my their policy is 60 days for an answer.  They are by far the worst company I have ever had to deal with!
