Help!! Is there anyone that might be able to give me "door openers" when initially approaching an NOD prospect for a short sale? I'm looking for what to say after I have introduced myself - then what do I say??? Thanks so much!! Anything will help! :)
Does anyone have a contact # for Citi Mortgage I need to start a shortsale with them. Thanks
Andrew, unless you have an unusual contract that states such, no to the lender. You have a contract between the buyer and the seller - all legal obligations apply.
However, it is the listing agent's duty to present all offers to his client.
You can also be in a backup position with the seller.
does a listing agent have to present all offers to the lender. I have a buyer that wants to submit a higher offer than the seller currently has but listing agent wont take it. does he have to?
Also, can seller cancel 1st contract and accept mine?
any input would be appreciated.
Good afternoon all, would anybody have a great seller to distressed home owners that you would want to share with me?
I have a short sale 2nd lien with Green Tree - They are asking for a pretty hefty payoff of about 22k. The 1st OneWest has agreed to pay $4200 and that's it - How do I bridge this gap? They indicated that they don't care where the money comes from - seller, buyer, commish, etc,. even if it comes outside of escrow??? Is anyone encountering this because as far as I know, this is not legal and if so, how can Green Tree suggest a payoff knowing very well anything outside the HUD is not a good thing? Both buyer and seller are willing to contribute but BofA insists that their max payoff is to be $4200.00 and that they will not allow Green Tree to be paid more .. Any suggestions on how to wittle this down and make this work? I'd be soooooo grateful to any insight :) Happy Selling!

I have a loan serviced by Greentree and owned by FNMA. Our offer was submitted 11/9 (all cash for $52K) I was told 1/15 they wanted $58K. Buyer agreed, sent in the HUD 1/17 and got a "verbal approval on 1/26". It is now 2/17 and nothing in writing. The rep at Greentree will only tell me she only gets approval via email and she will not escalate. Any ideas who I can call either at FNMA or Greentree?? Let me know. Thanks.
P.S. All this for $58K. Please . . .
There is nothing left of the estate - there never was. I just faxed a letter of authroization with the obituary, death certificate, tax records, letter of explaination - so next week I will see what the result is.
The death occurred in 2005
Janet, If the property is located in a deficiency state there may still be a benefit for the Estate and/or heirs by avoiding Foreclosure.
Heard a rumor that VA, like FHA will allow you to purchase a home right after a short sale if they have had no late payments, I am trying to verify. Also, it has been a while since I have done a VA short sale. Are they allowing $1500 seller incentive?
