10 Things to Expect in an Orlando Short Sale

April 29th, 2009 No comments

  1. The bank is going to what to see your entire financial picture. This means you will need to provide copy of back taxes, paycheck stubs, bank statements, personal financial statement, etc. They will want to know what all your assets are.
  2. The bank may want you to sign a promissory note for the difference, now it will most probably be at a hugely reduced amount and may include monthly payments.
  3. When the bank gives the final approval of the short sale, they may request that the escrow close in as little as 30 days, sometimes sooner.
  4. As the seller, you can not receive any proceeds from the sale. Period.
  5. Your Real Estate agents, and Title company, may have to work for reduced fees.
  6. The banks are incredibly overwhelmed with short sales and many times a decision can take upwards of 90 days; however, recently the approval process has been streamlined at many lenders.
  7. Your property may be foreclosed on during the short sale process because the bank can not process the short sale in time; however, if you have a strong agent they should be able to get the foreclosure postponed give me a call to help postpone any foreclosure dates.
  8. Do not expect to receive any information on a regular basis. There may be weeks that go by with no news from the lender. This is perfectly normal.
  9. The bank will want to get a BPO (broker price opinion) and/or an appraisal of your house.
  10. Be patient. This is the best policy. Try to avoid being stressed out over something that you can not control. If you have a well trained agent, you are in good hands.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
