Short Sales

We put an offer in on a short sale and it was accepted by the seller. Now we are heading to the bank to see if they will accept it or reject it. We did comps in the neighborhood and made an offer off of the information we gathered. Any one have any experience dealing/negotiating with bank on a house price?

Yours in Chicken,

Panthro

Friends have been going through it. They just heard back on their offer after about 6 months. Takes a long time, obviously, and you're pretty much buying it as is as the bank isn't going to put any more money into it. My friends are actually paying for all the stuff that didn't pass inspection.

Wouldnt you go to a mortgage agent/ firm instead of teh bank? Probably get a few options other than yes or no...

The bank owns the note, so they get final say in a short sale.

Sadly Panthro, in my experience with short sales, logical, rational decision-making (i.e. comps, market condition, retention rate, etc.) is not a part of what a larger bank (BofA, Wells Fargo, etc.) will do. There is also usually very little negotiation - the bank either accepts or rejects your offer, and as Husker mentioned it can take a looooooooong time to hear back. Also, the status of recourse for the bank could affect their decision as well; a short sale with recourse allows them to pursue the seller for the difference, while a short sale without recourse does not.

Short sales do seem like a good idea, but if you are looking for instant gratification, be patient. The larger banks will not be looking to work with you. IMO I think that many of the banks are fine just holding these properties until the market comes back a bit, and selling them off then.

It's frustrating, but sometimes it can be worth the wait.

Personally I would not have the patience to deal with it.

We just want the bank to come back and tell us what we can buy it for. We are first in line on the house with our offer. I would hate just a plain rejection vs a rejection with an option for approval.

That's all that most do want.

Who holds the note?

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
