**Short Sales occur when borrowers sell their properties for amounts that are less than the amounts owed to the lender. How do I qualify for assistance? Borrowers need to prove that they are experiencing a substantial financial hardship. What is a Hardship? A hardship is a situation that has a life changing effect for the borrower that results in an in-ability to pay the mortgage debt in either, short or long term. Some examples are: Separation or Divorce Medical Bills Inability to work due to health reasons Death of Spouse Job Relocation Reduced Income or Unemployment Business Failure How do I qualify for a Short Sale? A borrower must prove that a hardship exists. The lender must be willing to accept the short sale proceeds as full settlement of the debt. What is required from the property owner? The property owner must: Sign a listing agreement with the realtor List the property for sale Cooperate with access, showings, offers, and with the realtor and SSW. Vacate the home following close of title Agree not to finance or otherwise encumber the property be responsible to maintain the home in “show” condition be responsible for minor repairs to the home be a responsible homeowner until close of title and vacancy of home.

   WORKING WITH SELLER How long is your deliquesce?Has your servicer started Foreclosure proceedings? If so, When?Do you have a 2nd lien or HELOC? If so are you current on those?

If we sell your property for less then you owe, can you make up the difference?

If so, are you willing to accept a promissory note for all or part of the difference?

You need to understand the Tax and Credit implications of a Short Sale. Know a Short Sale is less detrimental then a Foreclosure. With a Foreclosure you can actually lose up to 300 points on your FICO score. With a Short Sale it may only affect your FICO by 75-100 points.

If I become your agent I here by advise you to seek legal council and financial advice.

 Income or Assets 

IF SELLER HAS 2nd or line of credit LEAN HOLDER will need to know, and approve the short sale. Do not procrastinate on contacting them. They  want to work with you. You are not alone in this situation. 42% of all sale in the past year have come from short sales and bank owned sales.

They will likely approve the short sale because they may gets some money from the short sale where as they may get nothing from a short sale.

We work directly with legal council to understand all the implication that go along with short sales.

 Short Sale Package This is where knowing that the package must be perfect or it will not pass, is extremely important if you what you home it sale. That is whey I work with the Crystal Group. They have been submitting short sale packages since the 1990’s with tremendous success. The will answer all your queston. And the charge for their service is $495.00 per loan. If you only have one loan it is a small charge for what they do. Two loans take double the time & skills.  What to know more?

Government Announces Conforming Loan Limit Increases

The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) today announced it has temporarily increased limits on conforming loans offered by government-sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, from $417,000 to as high as $729,750 in fourteen counties in California for loans originated between July 1, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2008. Fannie and Freddie are reported to be working out new underwriting standards and expect to begin offering the new loans soon.

Also, on Wednesday, the government raised the conforming loan limit for mortgages guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, and has begun offering the maximum limit of $729,750 for 14 California counties, up from $362,790, for loans originated between now and Dec. 31, 2008.

 

The Fed’s economic stimulus package approved earlier this year called for temporary increases on conforming and FHA loan limits to allow troubled borrowers to refinance out of sub-prime loans and make it easier for many new buyers to qualify for mortgages in high-cost areas, particularly in California where home prices remain among the highest in the nation.
