How long does it take to short sale a home?

September 24, 2013 By Rick Fuller

CBAP training material I hurried into the local department store to grab1 some last minute Chirsmas gifts. I looked at all the people and grumbled2 CQE practice exam to myself. Itcertpasses I would be in here forever and I just had so much to do. Chirsmas was beginning to CBAP training material SY0-401 PDF become such a drag. 300-075 VCE Free I kinda Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps wished 300-075 VCE Free that I could just sleep through Chirsmas. 300-075 VCE Free But I hurried the best I Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps could through all the people SY0-401 PDF to the toy department. SY0-401 PDF Once again SY0-401 PDF I kind of mumbled3 to myself at the prices of all these CQE practice exam toys, and wondered Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps if the grandkids would even 300-075 VCE Free play whit4 SY0-401 PDF them. I found myself in the Examprepwell doll aisle5. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a little boy about 5 holding a lovely doll.He kept CQE practice exam touching6 her hair and he held CBAP training material her so gently. I could not seem to help myself. I CQE practice exam just kept loking CBAP training material over at the little boy and wondered CBAP training material who the doll was for. I watched him turn to a woman and he called his aunt by name and said, “Are you sure I don’t have enough money?” She replied a bit CBAP training material Examprepwell impatiently, “You know that you don’t have CBAP training material enough money for it.” The aunt Itcertpasses told the little boy not to go anywhere that 300-075 VCE Free she had to Itcertpasses go and get some other things and would be 300-075 VCE Free back in a few minutes. And Itcertpasses then she left the Itcertpasses aisle. The boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I asked the Examprepwell boy who the doll was for. He said, Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps “It is the doll my sister wanted so badly for Chirsmas. She just knew that Santa Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps would bring it. “I told him that maybe Santa was going to Itcertpasses bring CBAP training material it . CQE practice exam He said, Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps Examprepwell “No, Santa can’t go where my sister is…. I have to Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps give the doll to Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps my Mama to take to her. “I SY0-401 PDF SY0-401 PDF asked CQE practice exam him CQE practice exam where his siter Examprepwell CBAP training material was. He looked Itcertpasses at me with the saddest eyes 300-075 VCE Free CQE practice exam and said, “She was gone to be with Itcertpasses Jesus. My Daddy says that Mamma 300-075 VCE Free SY0-401 PDF is going to Examprepwell have Examprepwell to CBAP training material go be with her.” My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy looked at me again and said, “I told my Daddy to tell my Mama not to go yet. I told him to SY0-401 PDF tell her to Examprepwell wait till I got back from the store.” Then he asked me if i wanted Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps to see SY0-401 PDF his picture. I told him I’d love to. 300-075 VCE Free He pulled SY0-401 PDF out CQE practice exam some picture he’d had taken at the front of the store. He said, SY0-401 PDF “I want my Mama Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps to take this with her so SY0-401 PDF the dosen’t Examprepwell ever forget me. I love my Mama so very much and I wish she dind not have to leave me.But Daddy says she will Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps need to be with my sister.” I saw that the little Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps boy had lowered CQE practice exam his head and had grown so qiuet. While he was not looking I reached into CQE practice exam my purse and Itcertpasses 300-075 VCE Free pilled out a handful of bills. Itcertpasses I asked the little boy, “Shall we count CBAP training material 300-075 VCE Free that miney one more time?” He grew excited and said, “Yes,I CQE practice exam just know it Examprepwell 300-075 VCE Free has to be 300-075 VCE Free enough.” So I slipped my money in with his and we began to count it . Of course it was plenty for the doll. He softly Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps said, “Thank you Jesus for giving me enough money.” Then the boy said, “I just 300-075 VCE Free asked Jesus to give me enough money to SY0-401 PDF buy this doll so Mama Itcertpasses can take it with her to give my sister. And Itcertpasses he heard my prayer. I wanted to Examprepwell ask him give for enough Examprepwell to buy my Mama a CQE practice exam white rose, but I didn’t ask CBAP training material him, 300-075 VCE Free but he gave me enough to buy the doll Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps and a rose for my Mama. She loves white Examprepwell rose so much. SY0-401 PDF “In a few minutes the aunt came back and I wheeled my 300-075 VCE Free cart away. I could not keep from thinking about Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps the little boy as I finished my shoppong in a ttally different spirit than when I had started. And CQE practice exam I CBAP training material kept remembering a story I had seen in the Itcertpasses newspaper several days SY0-401 PDF earlier about a drunk driver hitting a car Examprepwell and killing7 a little girl and the Mother was in serious condition. Itcertpasses The Itcertpasses family was deciding on whether to remove the life support. Now Itcertpasses surely this little boy did not belong with that story.Two days later I Examprepwell read in the paper where the family had disconnected the life support and the young woman had died. I could not forget the little boy and just kept wondering Oracle 1z0-067 exam dumps if the Examprepwell two were somehow connected. Later that day, I could not help myself and I went out CBAP training material and bought CQE practice exam aome white roses and took them to the funeral home where the yough woman was .And CBAP training material there she was CBAP training material holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, CQE practice exam and the picture of the little boy in the store. I left there in tears, thier life changed forever. The love that little boy had for his little sisiter and his mother was overwhel. And in a split8 second a drunk driver had ripped9 the life of that little boy to pieces.

Question:  How long does it take to short sale a home?  

Answer:    It is often difficult to determine exactly how long it takes in days, weeks, or months to short sale a home because there are many factors involved in determining how long it will take to short sale a home.   Although it is difficult to set a date on a calendar when you can expect a short sale approval there are three very real phases every short sale goes through.    Knowing these phases will help you to know where you are in the process and can give you a better idea of how long it take to short sale a home.   The three phases a short sale goes through are Submission, Valuation,  and Approval.

Phase  1 of 3:   Submission

The Submission phase is when all documents are submitted to the lender for review and a Negotiator (this will be your main contact) is assigned.  In order to process the short sale and validate the Sellers Hardship the Seller will need to provide the following documents. Before preparing these documents you may want to check if you are eligible for a HAFA short sale.

List of documents that may be needed

  • Hardship Letter
  • Financial Statements
  • HAFA Forms
  • Lender Specific Forms
  • Bank Statements
  • Tax returns
  • Pay Stubs
  • Pnl (if self employed)
  • Sales Contract
  • Listing Agreement
  • HUD1 (itemized list from a Title Company detailing cost associated with the sale and the Lien Holders net proceeds)

Phase 2 of 3:   Value

Lien Holders (especially the first Lien Holder involved in the short sale) will want to know the value of the property prior to approving the short sale.  Lien Holders do not want to sell the property below market value.  They will more likely approve a sale if the offer amount on the sales contract and the Lien Holders opinion of value are similar.  In my experience, banks will generally approve an offer if it is within 93%-100% of their opinion of the value.    Check the value of your home.

The Lien Holders will likely complete any or perhaps all of the below to obtain their opinion of value:

  • Appraisal (Completed by a Licensed Appraiser however not the same appraisal you would use for financing the property)
  • B.P.O. (Broker Price Opinion often completed by a local Real Estate Agent)
  • A.V.M. (Automated Valuation Model an online opinion of value)
 
Phase 3 of 3:   Approval
 
Your almost there…   This is the phase where the Servicer obtains approval from their Investors, Manager or Mortgage Insurance.   The Listing Agent (Sellers Agent) may also need to obtain an approval from other Lien Holders (Tax Lien Holders, 2nd mortgages, 3rd mortgage, private liens, etc…)   Once all Lien Holders approve an approval letter is issued usually from each Lien holder providing approval.
 
A word of advise.  Read the letters carefully, they may have changed some of the terms in the original offer and because it may have been months since it was written you may have forgotten some of the original terms.

The real name for a short sale is short pay as one or maybe all of the lenders involved end up short of the amount owed upon the sale of the home.   It is rarely a quick sale as it can often take months to short sale a home however follow the three phases outlined above and you will have a better understanding of how long it takes to short sale a home.     More information about what is a short sale.
