Locating An Individual To Complete Short Sale In Real Estate
June 8th, 2011 by Aaron PhillipsA short sale in real estate usually takes place when a bank is losing money on a loan. It involves getting a mortgage note holder to agree to sell a piece of real estate for less than the loan value of a property.
So the first thing that one has to do to make this happen is to find such a mortgage holder who is behind on his payments. Once you have found such a person and he wouldn’t mind selling then he will have to give you the authority to now go and make an offer to his bank.
When it comes to the bank you will need to go to the loss mitigation department. Here you will have to find the exact person whose responsibility is the mortgage in question. He will tell you from there what documents to go ask the mortgage holder for to make this foreclosure happen.
Once you get the information you need, collect all the paperwork needed from the homeowner. You may need to provide personal information, such as W-2’s, bank statements, and financial statements.
This homeowner will also have to write a letter explaining to the bank why they are not coping with their monthly payments and they would rather sell.
After securing all the necessary documents and/or information, fax them to the attention of the loss mitigation officer. You may need to do this more than once.
Do not expect things to happen in just a day, you will have to be patient after this. The time may depend on the bank asking for a brokers price opinion which they will weigh against your offer.
Sometimes, the bank is stubborn and may decide that the property is worth more than what you offer. They may make a counter offer after a few weeks of deliberation. Get pictures of detailing problems in the house. These can, at times, enable you to negotiate a lower price.
If they do not want to budge and you think their offer is unreasonable then don’t flinch, leave!
