Short Sale Power Hour

The focus of shortsalepower.com over the past few days has been on how a variety of lenders are working short sales. We talked about OCWEN and how they desire to lose money instead of executing short sales. We also talked about Bank of America and their effort to remedy shortfalls in their short sale procedure. Today, we’d like to go back to the well and talk about another bank, ING.

We are currently working on a short sale with ING and have received some interesting news from them. Firstly, they have declared that the home owner in this particular short sale needs to sign a promissary note for the residual deficiency balance in order to close the short sale. So, logically, we resolved to escalate to the executives at ING. There reply was both baffling and interesting.

Short Sale Power Hour

Group 4610 is coming to you direct from Mission Beach in San Diego. In California for a team building affair, kevin and Fred are still committed to bringing you information concerning short sales.
Fred was reading an appealing item the other day that he would love to share various thoughts about. The piece was about Citibank and the CEO of Citi Mortgage. He predicts that the foreclosure problem will keep increasing in the next 16 to eighteen months. So, tactically, Citi is attempting to live ahead of the curve. Mull it over. If they forecast that the next year and a half will bring a lot of foreclosures and financial hardships, the realism is in all probability nearer to 2 years or 2 and a half years. Essentially, you need to recognize that short sales are not going away any time soon.

By Brad On May 6, 2010 No Comments

Buyers in the housing market in Phoenix, Arizona are seeing countless more properties for sale nowadays with unique conditions like REO, foreclosure, foreclosure short sale, and others. All these special conditions have something to do with a bank, but we will clarify each briefly below:

-bank Owner – the lender has taken ownership of the property and the bank is a seller. Not as good for the buyer as a foreclosure short sale.

Short Sale Power Hour

The issue of the day revolves around the significance of the first thirty days. As we’ve acknowledged already, short sales are won or lost in the first 30 days. It is simply not reasonable to think that you can keep a purchaser in a transaction for six months. It just will not happen. That is why getting stuff done as quickly as possible is significant.
To be frank, a short sale could be finished in 3 days if the banks had a structure in place to deal with short sales. Keep in mind that if you show the lender that there is an importance to complete a short sale, they will comprehend that you may eventually escalate the process and operate in a more timely manner. However, it is important to note that people inside the lender dealing with your records are

In calling this particular lender, Brian discovered that the staff member who was dealing with his folder had more than 300 records on his desk at the present time. The bank employee also was proud that he had achieved his best thirty days ever, closing thirty short sales. What does that tell you?

Crisis in Foreclosure Homes Still Evident

By Brad On February 17, 2010 No Comments

The number of foreclosure homes increased by more than five percent during the third quarter of 2009 when compared to the previous quarter.  The increase occurred despite the presence of the Making Home Affordable program of the federal government that attempts to help borrowers undergoing financial hardships to get a loan modification to reduce their monthly payments.  It appears that the government program has been overwhelmed by the large number of layoffs.

There were almost 938,000 foreclosure homes during the period of July to September 2009, which is approximately 48,000 homes more than the preceding quarter.  At this rate, the number of foreclosure filings is expected to reach approximately 3.5 million for the whole year of 2009, which is much higher than the 2.3 million filings in 2008.

The primary reason for the rise in the foreclosure rate, in the spite of many economists claiming that the recession is over,
