Orlando FL – We throw around the statistic that a short sale reduces a lender’s losses by 20% compared to a foreclosure.

However, I am sure that there are many people who find that hard to believe. So today I am going to give you a breakdown of exactly why it happens.

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

I will use an real life example. A short sale was listed for sale for $425,000. After a few months, the sellers received an offer for $385,000.

They submitted the short sale package to the lender. The lender didn’t accept the short sale. The home did not sell as a short sale.

The lender started foreclosure proceedings and foreclosed on the home 19 months later. They put it on the market as a bank owned property.

It sold for $230,000. This is a real life example. We have lots of other similar examples. Short sale offers are turned down only to have the home sell for much less after foreclosure.

Let’s go thru the reasons this lender lost so much money.

First off, the real estate market was declining heavily at the time. Home values are still declining even today. So they lost $155,000 in home value decline. Probably half of that loss was because of the declining market.

The other half was because bank owned homes sell for less than owner occupied homes. Why? Because nothing is maintained. The yard isn’t mowed, the house isn’t kept clean, and no pride of ownership shows.

Besides, the sales process for bank owned homes also hurts what they sell for. Last of all, buyers know the home is bank owned and make lowball offers because of it.

They also lost interest income. The home would have sold for $385,000 twenty-one months earlier (17 months foreclosure time plus 2 months to put the home on the market and 2 months to sell.)

$385,000 lent at 4.5% interest earns $17,325 annually. Over 21 months that comes out to $30,318.75. Another big loss.

Plus they had to pay property taxes the entire time the home was on the market. Annual property taxes are $6,521.08. Over 21 months that comes out to $11,411.89.

As you can see, the costs just keep on adding up. I’m sure I am missing other costs. Do you see how a short sale benefits a lender?

Orlando FL – Many agents get frustrated because they know who the short sale negotiator is, but they don’t have any way to communicate with them.

Most short sale negotiators communicate by email. But, they usually wait until they are well into the transaction before they give you their e-mail.

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

We try james.rush, jim.rush, jim.a.rush, james.a.rush, and run thru all the middle initials in the alphabet. The bad e-mails get get a notification that they couldn’t get thru. We know which e-mail is the correct one because it doesn’t come back.

This even works for finding the CEO’s e-mail. We sent an e-mail to ken.lewis @ bankofamerica.com and received a response soon thereafter.

No, I don’t think that e-mail ever reached Ken Lewis. But, someone is checking it and they responded.

I think the closest a Stop Foreclosure Institute Member has ever gotten to talking to a CEO is when one found the direct line to Sterling Edmunds, the CEO of Suntrust.

Reaching a CEO is exciting, but it isn’t the goal. Our goal is to get a competent person to review the short sale. They will approve it when we show how it makes financial sense to do so.

Orlando FL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Sammy. Here was his question.

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

“I like your blog post about how to get out of paying a deficiency. However, how long will it be on your credit report before your life goes back to normal? I would like to resolve the deficiency but the attorney/collector doesn’t seem willing to budge from the full amount.

I’ve even had an attorney friend of mine contact them and try to negotiate something and they still wouldn’t budge. Sammy.

Here is the answer to his question. If you are dealing with a lawyer that is directly representing the lender, then you will have a tough time. They have to negotiate hard to justify being paid $150 an hour.

Be happy you have a short sale on your credit. That usually affects you for 2-3 years. A foreclosure will usually affect your credit for 5-7 years.

If your goal is to improve your credit, then you can often get the negative reports removed by disputing them. We have put together entire blog posts about how to fix your credit.

Scroll down this blog to read them. You have a good chance of disputing off any negative items on your credit report.

This information on How Long Does It Take For My Credit To Go Back To Normal After A Orlando Short Sale? is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Orlando FL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Jonathan. Here was his question.

“I am looking to buy a short sale. The seller wouldn’t accept my offer. My agent told me it was because the short sale lender has told them they wouldn’t accept the offer.

I am a cash buyer and can’t understand why they wouldn’t take my offer. Why do some buyer’s offers get accepted while others are declined? Jonathan.

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

Here is the answer to his question. Usually the offer that is accepted is the one that is offering the highest sales price.

Sure banks and short sale lenders like cash offers. But, that is only everything else is the same. They won’t accept a cash offer when it is lower than other offers on the table.

Here is an example. A normal homeowner is selling their house. It is worth $400,000 and he is asking $400,000 for the home.

A buyer offers $350,000 cash. You should accept my offer because it is cash, the buyer says. Meanwhile another buyer offers $400,000 and they have already been approved for a loan.

If you were that seller, what would you do? Would you take a little risk to make an extra $50,000? Most people would. In fact, there isn’t much risk because the buyer has already been approved for a loan.

Yes, cash does matter. But, these banks want to reduce their losses as much as possible. They are already losing tens and hundreds of thousands on a short sale.

They own these homes cash. They don’t have to get their money out right away. They like cash offers, but they like to reduce their losses even more.

Orlando FL – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from Josh. Here was his question.

“I heard that a short sale reduces a lender’s losses by 20% compared to a foreclosure. You would think that would make them excited to work on my short sale. But, they are dragging their feet.

My lender isn’t that excited to work on my short sale. I think they are waiting for another bailout. Do you think that is true? Josh.”

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

Here is the answer to his question and some insight into what is really happening at the lenders. I think at the beginning of the recession the lenders were waiting for a bailout.

But, after that the real slowdown was that they are simply understaffed. In 2007 very few people were short selling their house.

The lenders didn’t need a lot of people to process the few short sales. Fast forward 2 years. Short sale volume probably multiplied by ten times or more.

But, it takes time to hire and train more staff. Short sales aren’t simple. There are lots of guidelines and laws regulating them. A new staff person can’t just show up and start processing files tomorrow.

More than anything else this has slowed down the short sale process. So, do the lenders like short sales? The CEO does because it cuts the lender’s losses.

But, the employee who has watched his file law quadruple probably doesn’t like short sales. He is having a hard time coping with the extra workload.

Orlando FL – Many people mistakenly think that a short sale is adversarial. “I will fight that banker and convince them to let me short sale and walk away from the upside down debt”, they think to themselves.

That is not how short sales actually work. Most negotiations are not adversarial. In fact, most short sale negotiators are just normal people.

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

They go to work each day and go thru their files. There is a lot of paperwork and reports that have to be filed. Most of them don’t get out of bed looking forward to a tough negotiation.

They simply have to process their file in accordance with the guidelines. The banks have budgeted money to write down mortgages on short sales.

The CEO (or someone similar) at the bank sits down and talks about the loans in default. We have X number of loans in default and we can expect to lose X percentage on each loan.

That means that I have to set aside 10 Million Dollars to cover the projected losses on those loans. He will then give the person managing the short sales guidelines.

Those guidelines will be used to keep the losses at 10 Million Dollars or less. This is why short sale negotiations are no adversarial. They banks already know they are losing money.

They have resigned themselves to losing it. Now they just have to go thru the process and minimize the losses as much as possible.

They know that a short sale reduces losses by an average of 20% compared to a foreclosure. That makes them eager to negotiate a short sale with you.

Orlando FL – You might think it is an embarrassment to sell your home as a short sale. “My friends will laugh at me when they realize that I owe more on my house than it is worth”, some people think.

The reality is that many Americans are in your same position. In fact, some experts think that over a quarter of all homeowners are upside down.

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

In fact, this statistic is even worse in areas where the housing market has taken a big drop. You have nothing to be embarrassed of. On the contrary, you should be proud that you are handling your affairs in a responsible manner.

Short Sales usually reduce your lender’s losses by 20%. This means you are actually doing your part to help the housing market and economy.

You are doing your part to stop the decline in the housing market. Your neighbor who opts to let their bank foreclose is hurting the housing market.

This is because bank owned properties usually sell for less than a short sale. We have seen this first hand. A Short Sale sells for $400,000 and then a similar bank owned home sells for $300,000.

This is because banks don’t maintain the homes they sell and buyers know they can get a bargain.

This information on Common Orlando Short Sale Myth: Selling My House As A Short Sale Is An Embarrassment is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.

Orlando FL – Short sales have a reputation for taking a long time. But, they can drag on even longer if the paperwork isn’t submitted to the lender in a timely manner.

When the Stop Foreclosure Institute first started doing short sales, we were hesitant to submit anything to the lender until we had a 100% complete package.

That caused the short sales to drag out a lot longer. After a little while, we learned to submit the paperwork as quickly as possible to the lender.

It usually takes 30 to 60 days for the lender to assign a negotiator to the file. That gives us plenty of time to track down any missing paperwork.

We realized that we were wasting time if we waited 30 days until everything was perfect and then submitted the file. There is a common myth that you shouldn’t submit short sale paperwork until it is 100% complete.

Let me explain why that myth just isn’t true. A lot of lender have different special forms they wanted filled out specifically for them.

“Oh, you need the buyer and seller to sign the ABC Bank Contract Addendum”, the short sale negotiator tells us. Besides, most short sale negotiators want things done certain a way.

Because of this it is almost impossible to put together a 100% perfect short sale file that will have exactly the way the lender wants it. So make sure your agent submits your file quickly and follows up with the short sale negotiator to see if anything is needed.

This information on A Common Orlando Short Sale Case Mistake: Waiting To Long To Submit The Contract To The Short Sale Lender is provided as a courtesy to our viewers to help them make informed decisions.


Orlando FL – A few years ago most agents didn’t understand short sales. They didn’t want to get involved on them because of the extra work required.

Short sales take two to three times as much work. The extra effort can be draining at times. Some agents openly admit that they hate short sales.

Is that the type of person you want working for you? Others believe it is wrong for a seller to walk away without a deficiency judgment. I have heard some agents say that people should be able to walk away from their obligations.

Do you think that type of agent is going to push hard for the bank to waive a deficiency?

(By the way, that is one of our missions at the Stop Foreclosure Institute. We want every seller we help to walk away with no deficiency. We have seen firsthand the stress the banks put on people in foreclosure.)

If your agent has no experience with short sales, then they may give up halfway into the process. So make sure you hire an experienced short sale agent that has successfully closed short sales.
