Chicago IL – Many people are embarrassed that they are short selling their house. They feel like they are somehow being dishonest or shady. Neither one of those is true. A lot of the people short selling today never had a blemish in their credit. They lived perfect, responsible financial lives. Then the real estate market crashed and left them owing way more than their home was worth.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

For years everyone had told them that couldn’t happen. Many of those people also lost their job for the first time in their life. You must remember, you are not alone. We are seeing as many short sales in the upper income brackets as the lower income brackets.

I will not be judgmental when you short sell with me. I deal with people from all walks of life. Some are high income. Others bought less expensive homes. Either way, it doesn’t matter to me. I see a short sale as a smart financial decision if the situation is appropriate for a short sale.

So I won’t be judging you. Instead, I’ll be congratulating you. Who wants to be burdened with a huge debt for the rest of your life? Not me. And neither should you. Here is why a short sale is a smart financial decision.

Let us say that you are upside down on a house by $100,000. (If you owe less than that, don’t laugh. Many people are upside down by that amount and more.) Repaying $100,000 over 30 years, will cost you $215,000. That is the $100,000 originally owed, along with $115,000 in interest payments.

What if instead of doing that, you put that money towards retirement? You could earn 5% interest on that money. $215,000 at 5% is $10,750 a year. Would that be helpful in retirement? That is one small reason I recommend short sales to my customers. You can get the upside down debt forgiven in a short sale.

Chicago IL – Are you looking for a Chicago Realtor that specializes in short sales. It is important that you pick the right agent. Many agents turn down short sale listings because they are unfamiliar with the process. These transactions are much more difficult and complicated than your average real estate transaction.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Because of the foreclosure process, you usually only have one chance at a short sale. If your first agent isn’t competent, then you risk losing your house to foreclosure. Then you have to wait another 5-7 years to buy your next house. First, ask the agent you are interviewing why they qualify to help you. Do they have any special short sale training or designations? Many agents have taken specialized training and education. They care about being up to date with the current trends in the market.

Next ask them how much experience they have selling short sales. An agent who has closed a few short sales is a lot better prepared than an agent that has not. You want someone experienced working for you.

Who is your lender? Ask the agent is they have closed any short sales with your lender. Every lender handles short sales a little bit differently. If your lender is ABC Lender and the agent has experience with ABC Lender, then they already know the process. Your agent will be prepared because they are familiar with that lenders’ process.

After that, ask the agent how they negotiate their short sales? They may do the follow up themselves. Or, they may hire a competent title company or loss mitigation company to do it for them. Either way is fine. Just make sure the person handling your file is suited for the job. Thinking about a short sale?  Visit www.ShortSaleSuperMan.com for information on Chicago short sales.

This information on How do I find a Chicago Realtor that specializes in short sales? is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Chicago IL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from another agent named Bonnie. Here was her question.

“On my short sale, the first mortgage gave me a price and a net they would allow. The title company put together the closing documents and paid the first more than the minimum net they needed.

Then, I offered the second mortgage what ended up being 12% of their loan. They are owed 76K, I offered 9600. Here is the problem. Now, they want 15K and are saying that is their final offer.

I do not think the first will allow them to receive that much. The first is HSBC. Do you have any suggestions on this one?

What would have been a better approach…offer to the 2nd on a different HUD a smaller amount to start? I used the same HUD to present to both, getting the firsts approval first. Bonnie.”

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

The first would see a closing statement with 20k going to the 2nd. Meanwhile the 2nd would get a closing statement with 3k and more money going to the first.

Robert Ringer, in his book Winning Thru Intimidation, talks about this problem. He was working as a mortgage broker on a hard money loan for a development.

He had to juggle the lender bringing money to the table and what the developer would net at closing. Plus, he had to make some money for himself in the middle. What did he do?

He started out telling the lender he needed to grant a big loan and told the borrower he was getting less money. He juggled those two and ended up making some money in the middle.

Here is what you can you do to close this short sale. This 2nd mortgage negotiator is being unreasonable. Escalate the file, show them the MLS history, and remind them that they get zero in a foreclosure.

Show them the docket status for the foreclosure case. If the house is close to foreclosure, you gain more negotiating power. Another thing to do is get both of the negotiators on the phone.

Have them hash it out between each other. That worked for us on a deal before and it might work for you too. Thinking about a short sale?  Visit www.ShortSaleSuperMan.com for information on Chicago and Oak Park short sales.

This information on Chicago Short Sale Question: I’m In A Jam With Two Mortgage Companies Fighting Over Money is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Chicago IL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from another agent named Sylvia. Here was her question.

“Here’s a question for you. I have a short sale with two offers. The appraisal was close to the sales price and the inspection was good.

However, the bank calls me and says, “Sorry, you can’t short sale the house because this is a recourse loan for 5 years.” I did some research and the loan is owned by Fannie Mae.

The sellers received foreclosure papers a week later. Fannie May says that the lender can approve the short sale. But, the lender says they can’t without Fannie Mae’s permission.

Needless to say, I am confused. Any thoughts on how this could have a happy ending? Sylvia.”

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Here was our answer to Sylvia’s Question. Sylvia, That is so frustrating! I think someone at GMAC is being an idiot. I’ve never heard of anything like this happening.

You are being lied to. Call the lender’s short sale phone number and ask to speak to a supervisor.

Then, ask them: “Are you someone who can speak with authority and actually knows what they’re talking about when it comes to Fannie Mae Short Sale Guidelines?”

If that person can’t speak with authority, then ask for the manager of the loss mitigation department. Tell that person the situation and ask them what is going on. That should solve the problem.

This information on Chicago Short Sale Question: Lender Won’t Approve The Short Sale. What Should I Do? is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Chicago IL – The biggest threat to your short sale is a high appraisal. Which is why your agent needs to make sure the appraisal is accurate.

Here is the process your agent needs to follow to ensure an accurate appraisal.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

The person doing the appraisal doesn’t understand why the home is selling for a specific sales price. They don’t understand why buyers are only willing to pay X. That is why your agent must explain that to them.

First, your agent should always meet them at the property and bring a detailed Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) with them.

The CMA should include at least 3-5 comparable sold homes, 2-3 comparable homes currently under contact, and 3-5 active competing homes currently on the open market.

They should put together a detailed CMA using the sold comparable sales. They will give that CMA along with the actives and pendings to the person doing the appraisal.

They will ask them what they feel the value of the house is. Then, your agent should show them the MLS history and explain why the house is only selling for X.

The key with the CMA is to use the closest comps available. You can use 1-2 REO comps when a real estate agent is doing the appraisal. Appraisers want the closest geographic comps available.

A real estate agent will use your agent’s comps most of the time. An appraiser won’t do that very often. Thinking about a short sale?  Visit www.ShortSaleSuperMan.com for information on selling your home in Chicagoland through a short sale.

This information on How To Ensure Accurate Appraisals And A Successful Chicago Short Sale is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Chicago IL – The biggest threat to your short sale is a high appraisal. Which is why your agent needs to make sure the appraisal is accurate.

There are a lot of opinions on how to ensure the appraisal is correct and accurate. You need to check and make sure your agent is willing to do the extra work.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

I will tell you what happened to an agent that decided it was too much work. This agent decided not to do the extra work. Then, short sales started getting turned down for no reason at all.

This agent thought they were doing everything right. They couldn’t see how they were doing wrong. The buyers were only willing to offer so much and the bank only willing to accept so little.

The buyer’s offers were higher than the property would have sold for after being foreclosed on by the bank. So they kept turning down the buyer’s offers. “We think the house is worth 300k”, they would say.

“But, we think the house is worth 250k”, replied the buyers. The short sales became more and more difficult.

Here is the good news. Now this agent checks to make sure every single appraisal is accurate. Today most of their short sales are being approved.

This information on Why Your Agent Should Check That Appraisals Are Accurate For Your Chicago Short Sale is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Chicago IL – The biggest threat to your short sale is a high appraisal. Banks consider short sales for economic reasons.

A bank will approve a short sale only if they think they will net more money taking the short sale offer. To make sure they aren’t selling the house for too little, they order an appraisal.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

The problem is that most homes are selling for less than appraisal. In one example, a non short sale listing sold for 225k. However, the property could have appraised for 300k.

That means the short sale lender would never have approved it. This is why your agent needs to make sure the appraisal is accurate. There is nothing unethical or illegal about doing this. Let me explain why.

80% of the loans handled by big mortgage companies are actually owned by an investor. These front companies (such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, SunTrust, or Chase) are acting as a “servicer.”

The servicers save money by taking 60-90 days to consider a short sale offer, turning down files over one missing doc, and cutting staff. This is why short sale offers get turned down for no reason.

However, if they can see that the house is valued at 145k and you’re selling it for 140k, they’ll accept the offer. Again, which is why your agent needs to make sure the appraisal is accurate.

This information on The Biggest Threat To A Successful Chicago Short Sale is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Chicago IL – A bank should accept your short sale when the following rules apply. All banks and servicers have a fiduciary duty to the investor of the loan.

If they own the loan themselves, they have a fiduciary duty to their stockholders. The duty is to get that investor the most money possible.

So, a lender should accept an offer if it will net the most money.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

The answer is that it is unlikely that any of that will happen.

Here is how we can assure the negotiator that the offer will net them the most money. Your only job is to prove that to the lender.

Do that by showing them that the property has been on the open market for 60-90 days. It is best to be able to show that the house was easy for buyers to see and other agents to show.

Ask them the following, “The agent selling the home is an experienced agent. The house has been on the market for X number of days. I have lived here the entire time and kept up on the house.

It looks good. We have had 43 showings since it’s been on the market. Out of that, only 3 buyers expressed interest. Out of those 3 buyers, the current buyer is the one willing to pay the most money.

The agent is doing their job marketing the property. With the current foreclosure case status, the home won’t be foreclosed until June or July. When you foreclose on the house, I will move out.

I won’t be keeping the house up anymore. The new listing agent will be working on 20 other homes and won’t be able to do as good of a job as myself. Do you honestly think the home is going to sell for more money at that time?”

When you ask them that, they won’t be able to argue with you. Thinking about a short sale?  Visit www.ShortSaleSuperMan.com for more information on Chicago short sales and how a short sale can help you move on with your life.

Important Notice

Phil Buoscio, Better Living Realty – Buoscio Brokerage, Inc., and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
