Just closed BofA short sale that had gotten lost on Equator....
Posted on May 3, 2010 at 1:50pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
This past week put to rest a short sale that was lost on Equator , had to bring BofA office of the president in and was still sent to trustee sale in March, fortunately postponed at last minute, re instated purchase offer
and finally closed last week.
This one started in early december.
I will say once I was able to get it to another negotiator BofA did work with us to move things along.
This was a short sale that had been tried a year or so earlier with another…

A few weeks ago I had a BofA short sale originally started on Equator go south really fast.
In fact , I was continually told all was well when in fact it was not.
I had escalated twice and then brought in the office of the president.
At first it seemed like they could help. Then they said no it was going to trustee sale and denied.
this past friday I received approval letters from the 1st and 2nd and escrow was opened today.
I threw another Hail Mary…

What's next?
Make sure you have already communicated with the bank that your intent is to perform a short sale.

I have closed many short sales with BofA. In December I had my first one for Equator. I took this listing over after another agent who had it listed and brought in an offer was denied short sale. There was several months separation in between the time I took it over and the original first short sale denial. The investor denied a $289000 offer at that time. It is a condo. Complex has history of several defaults.
Make a long story short, there was several glitches in my…
