Two Loans with Bank of America and Short Sale Approval Received in 37 Days!

Two Loans with Bank of America and Short Sale Approval Received in 37 Days!  

I have another short sale success story to report. Just last month, I received short sale approval on a file, with two Bank of America loans, only 37 days after the offer was presented via the Equator system. So, the fact that this was a short sale only added about one month to the total time it took to get an approval from Bank of America and close escrow.  Both loans were processed concurrently through the Equator platform that Bank of America uses for its short sale processing.

The first mortgage loan was owned by Fannie Mae, and the second loan by a different investor.  As a Santa Maria Short Sale Agent, I know that when loans are serviced by two different entities coordinating the approval time lines can be tricky.  However, in this case, since both loans were both serviced by Bank of America, both were processed through Equator.  Approval for both loans was received in 37 days and ultimately a full waiver of deficiency was obtained for the seller.  This was a great result for all involved.

If you have a Bank of America loan and are considering a short sale of your Santa Maria, Orcutt, or Nipomo home, you should seek out an experienced short sale agent to guide you through this process.  If you would like a short sale consultation, please call my office to schedule a meeting or a telephone consultation at (805) 938-9950.

What Happens if the Short Sale Does Not Appraise?

It depends. This is definitely a difficult situation for both the buyer and the seller, usually because appraisals are not ordered and completed until after the short sale approval has been received. Typically, the parties wait for weeks, if not months for the short sale approval, and once received the buyer begins their inspections and their lender orders the appraisal.

How Does the Bank Determine the Value of My Home in a Short Sale?

In a short sale, the bank will typically order either a Broker Price Opinion (BPO) or an appraisal to determine the value of the home. Most banks use BPOs. The use of BPOs is the source of much controversy among short sale listing agents, short sale sellers and appraisers. Appraisers often object to BPOs and believe that only an appraiser can give an accurate depiction of value.

How Time Can Run Out On Your Santa Maria Short Sale

One of the worst things that distressed Central Coast homeowners do is waiting until the clock is ticking before contacting a short sale agent. When does the clock start ticking? I tell people it starts ticking when you stop paying. Ideally, if you know a financial hardship is imminent, you should begin exploring your options, including a short sale, before any payments are even missed. In its recent Open Letter on Short Sales, the California Association Realtors reports that according to surveyed California Realtors® only about three out of five short sales close.
