OMG now we are talking... National City YOU ROCK!!!

Services for Real Estate Pros

I couldn't believe the high level of professionalism and quick turnover time with a recent short sale negotiation from National City. In less than 3 weeks of recieving the package the mitigator faxed us a near unbelievable response letter.

This was a second mortgage of $100,000 and they settled at $8,000!!!

In brief the house was once appraised for $410,000 back in 2005. In 05 the owners refi'd to pull out $100K in cash. Meanwhile, they had a first mortgage through BOA for approx. $280K.

Today the home has dropped value but can sell at a quick sale price of $315K. We are still waiting for a response from BOA on the first mortgage short sale negotiation but even if they dont budge I think we did the homeowner well by knocking off $92,000 in debt to National City.

Please share your experience with a 1st mortgage company like BOA accepting a short sale after the 2nd mortgage company folded like a beach chair?

I have done 3 BOA properties they are very very tight and slow but then again it seemed like all the lenders have taken April off. Best of luck on this one.

Thanks, we will need it! If BOA drops substantially not only will I make the homeowner happy but I might be able to take the wife on that cruise of Europe we have been talking about ;)

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Anthony That is great! You gotta love that second mortgage company willing to take a hit like that, now BOA should take a hit, they been getting hit hard in recent years and it will only get worse before it gets better.

I have not had a short sale with bank of america yet, but that's good to know National City gave your sellers a good deal.
