Short Sales Handbook - Knolly's

Day 1: Preparing for Success
The Basics:
What, Why, Who?

Before we hit the accelerator, let's review the basics-the what, why, who of short sales.
What Is a Real Estate Short Sale?

In the world of real estate, a short sale refers to the sale of real property for a sum less than the amount owed on the property. Said in different words, a short sale is a solution for homeowners who are "upside down" on their mortgages. If a homeowner meets a series of criteria, their mortgage lender may agree to (short) sell the property to a qualified buyer, accept less than the full balance due on the loan, and forgive all or a large portion of the difference.
Upside Down
A tenn used to describe borrowers who owe more on their loan than their property is currently worth.
A real estate short sale is based on the simple concept of a settlement. Have you ever allowed someone to repay you less than the full amount he or she owes? Maybe after you hear the person's honest explanation, you realize that something is better than nothing. So, you settle: 'Just give me twenty bucks, and we'll call it even." This is the concept behind a short sale. Real estate short sales are typically initiated to help homeowners or property owners in financial distress avoid foreclosure. Let's look at where short sales fall along the foreclosure timeline.
7 Days to Success with Short Sales
The Foreclosure Timeline
If the seller An insolvent cannot reinstate property owner the loan and has receives notice not sold the from their lender property to repay that they are in the debt, the default of their lender will initiate loan and havce a certain number of ; the 1~<>aI I foreclosure days (typicaly 30 to 45) to cure the process and set a date to sell the default. If the property at public property owner must sell and can auction. The demonstrate a property and title will. pass to d,e hardship, the highest bidder. lender may agree to (short) sell the property to a qualified buyer for a discounted loan payoff
amOlillt.
i i
Foreclosed property not sold at auction becomes real estate owned (REO) by the lender. Because this property is a liability (versus an asset) to the lender, they are ea"er to sell the property and dear it from their balance sheets. They will often hire REO sales agents to list an.d sell the properties for them.
"
Note: Foreclosure procedures vary from state to state and ate governed
by state laws and statutes. Take time to get educated about the process in your state. Legal foreclosure is a costly and risky process that both sellers and lenders typicaly wish to avoid. For this reason, it makes good economic sense to pursue other options when it is cleat that full repayment of the debt is an impossibility. So, as one strategy to mitigate their losses, banks
will often accept a short sale settlement for less than what is still owed on the note.
Why Are We Hearing So Much About Short Sales Now?

While the real estate short sale transaction has been around for decades, the current foreclosure crisis in America has brought new attention to the strategy. In 2008, approximately one million homes were lost to foreclosure. Distressed properties (short sales and foreclosures) comprised nearly 40% of all U.S. home sales. Looking at 2009, the Federal Reserve estimates that lenders will likely initiate 2.25 million foreclosures this year. This doubles the number of foreclosures seen before the crisis. In addition, other 2009 estimates suggest that as many as 15% to 20% of all mortgages are "under water."
Under water
A term used to describe an asset (such as real estate) that is currently worth less than the outstanding balance on the loan it originally secured.
like no other time in real estate history, mortgage lenders are willing to consider short sales as an alternative to foreclosure and a way to mitigate their mounting losses. Banks are becoming increasingly convinced that their tactics of yesteryear will not work in today's troubled times. Mortgagors once used the mere threat of foreclosure to motivate homeowners to comply with the terms of their loans. A simple letter hinting at foreclosure was all that was needed to send most homeowners scrambling for cash. In panic mode, they would beg, borrow, or even steal to keep their homes and protect their credit. No more.
Unprecedented numbers of homeowners today are in so much debt and hardship that they are numb to threats of home foreclosure, repossession, or negative credit reporting. Millions of homes are under water and their homeowners are drowning fast. These are the people who need short sales the most.
Who Really Benefits from a Short Sale?

Now, let me say that I believe in finding ways to help homeowners keep their homes if this is what they desire. Home retention is always the first option I discuss with prospective clients. In fact, this is the philosophy underpinning the Obama Administration's homeowner affordability and stability initiatives. These plans focus on strategies to help homeowners retain possesslon of their primary residence-low-cost refinancing, loan modifications, and low mort"oage rates. For eligible individuals, the banks are offering inaedible deals-such as mortgage payments down to 31% to 38% of the individual's gross monthly income. J[ see it as my responsibility to encourage homeowners to exhaust these options, if keeping their home is what they desire and if it feasible for th= to do 'So. UnifoJrtunately, a large number of the homeovmers facing foreclosure have hardships that leave them no altematiV'e but to liquidate their properties--divorce, death of a spouse, medkal illness, job los'S, job transfer, and other challenges. These are homeowners who must sell. As you will learn, pre-qualification is an essential step to determine if homeowners desire and are in a position to stay in their homes or if they are forced to sell. The latter become my short sale clients. The short sale is clearly a win for these distressed homeowners. But more than this, the short sale is a true win-win solution for all parties.
Ii:] Homeowners Win!-Homeowners are able to sell their property

and avoid foreclosure.
Ii:] Buyers Win!-Buyers are able to acquire a property at a good

pnce.

of their money back on a loan that is facing default. Real Estate Agents Win!-Agents are able to earn a commission for their role in the sale of the property.

Lenders are willing to settle with a short sale because the alternatives for them are to Incur the cost of eviction and repossession Carty the cost of the property during the foreclosure process Incur the expense of repairs and improvements in order to make the property marketable
In addition, because the short sale helps stop foreclosures before they happen, this solution ultimately helps the economy and the real estate market. Studies suggest that just one foreclosure in a neighborhood can
result in an additional drop of approximately 9% in property value and home equity for neighboring homes. When you get into the short sale business, you are helping to prevent foreclosures that can further depress home values in your market. Clearly, the short sale is a win-win for all parties involved. Let's dig down further into the opportunity short sales offer real estate agents.

Overview of the Short Sale Process

The gJ'eat thing I have discovered about short sales is that they are basically all the same in their structure. They progJ'ess in a linear fashion. They are predictable. This also means that they can be monotonous. For this very reason, many agents working short sales quickly become bored with them. But, to me and to many others, the fact that short sales are structured and routine is a supreme blessing. When it comes to work, I am highly project- and task-oriented. I like to begin a project, work it, finish it, and check it off. That's the way I approach real estate, and that's what attracts me so much to short sales. Because you will be following the same steps over and over, you can, in time, absolutely master the art of short selling-and create your own success.

Steps in the Short Sale Process

In the days that follow in 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales, we will look at
each step in the short sale process in careful detail. We'll move along the flow of the process model below.
The Short Sale Process
Notice that Steps 1 tlttough 5 are perfo=ed by the short sale agent. Then, as the seller's lender is completing Steps 6 tlttough 9 with the short sale file, the agent is running parallel with their own set of tasks. Then, both sides close the file and get paid in Step 10.
1.
Bank acknowledges receipt of the file. This can take 10 days to a month
2.
A negotiator is assigned. This can take 30 to 60 days. A BPO is ordered. The bank probably will refuse to share the results of the BPO. A second negotiator may be assigned. This can take another 30 days
3.
The file is sent for review or to the PSA. This can take 2 weeks to 30 days.
The bank may then request that all parties sign an Arm's-Length Affidavit.
The bank issues a short sale approval letter.
After all this, the Buyer may still decide to cancel
22
2. Administrative and Organizational Skills

Any agent who aims to master short sales must be organizedsupremely organized. Gathering the information and documentation for the short sale package requires administrative skills and great efficiency. One of the goals of the 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales program is to teach you how to build a volume business that runs like a well-oiled machine. In these 7 Days, you will learn how to implement a proven short sale system and leverage tools for greater efficiency.
In addition., short sale transactions carry more liability. The environment
is more litigious. Strong administrative and organizatiollill skills will help you stay on top of the process and avoid potential legal challenges. I often share with people that short sale processing is a lot like processing a health disability claim. Insurance companies demand thorough documentation to justify paying on a disability claim. "Who are you? How did nhe injury occur? "What steps did you take to prevent injury? "What is the extent of the injury? ... " And in many cases, there is back-anel-forth negotiation about what must occur if the claim is awarded---the terms of the payout, which physicians you will see, the rehabilitation plan, and so forth. When we say you must have administrative and organizational skills, imagine that you'll be working with individuals who think and operate much like these disability claims officers.
3. Negotiating Skills, Patience, and Tenadty

Processing short sales requires negotiaring skills, patience, and tenacity. Once the short sale package has been submitted to the lender for approval, there are many steps that must be managed. As a short sale specialist, you will need to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of these steps. You will need to know this stuff as well as (or better than) the loss mitigators working at the banks. The more you know, the better you will be at negotiating the details and getting more files approved.
23
As you already know, short sales typically run on a longer timeline than other real estate sales transactions. Sometimes, it feels like the plan is to "hurry up and wait." The short sale process can take from as little as three weeks to several months. I have had some take a year! Patience is a virtue and a requirement for the successful short sale agent. As you will learn, short sales require the ability to stick to it. Many agents give up on short sales because they don't have the perseverance or the patience. What they lack is a system to help them manage the details and streamline the processing activities. Once these are in place, short sales are more than worth the effort!
~-------(l--------~
Do you possess these critical skills?
The good news is that you don't have to take on all short sales tasks by yourself. There are a number of ways to run a short sale business.

Welcome to Day 2
Welcome to Day 2 of 1 Days to Success with Short Sales! In this chapter, we begin the process.
As you will learn, Step 1: Pre-Qualify the Prospect is the most important step in the process. If you thoroughly and diligently prequalify your prospective short sellers using the system we teach you, everything else will fall into place. In other words, your success is determined by this step. You will learn about the four key criteria that determine a seller's eligibility and how lenders view the qualification process. In addition,
Day 2: Pre-Qualifyingthe Short Sale Prospect
35
since government-insured loans are handled a bit differendy, we'll spend time discussing how to qualify sellers with those loans. Your best support tool in this step of the process is the Short Sale PreQualification Questionnaire. This document will save you time up front and potential hassles that could develop later. We'll walk through how to use this questionnaire during the interview with your prospect. In Day 2, you will also find tons of scripts you can use with homeowners to help them understand the process and to demonstrate your knowledge and your compassion for the situation.
Notes
36
Start the Process with Careful Pre-Qualification

The first and most important step in the short sale process is to prequalify your prospect. This initial interview will tell you whether or not the prospective seller will qualify for a short sale. As you will learn as you work towards mastery of short selling, this is the step in the process that will determine your success.
Where 00 You Find Short Sale Prospects?

For this chapter, we are going to assume that you have identified at least one prospect :md you are ready to learn how to pre-qualify them for a short sale. However, you may be asking, ''Where do I find short sale prospects?" Lead generation is critical to any business, and the short sale business is no different. Becoming a skilled lead generator is necessary for the success of a short sale ",,<>ent. For this reason, we have devoted an entire Bonus section of 7 Days to Success with Short Sales to the subject of building your business through lead generation and team growth.. At this point in your learning, howeveil:, lead generation is not the first priority. Your first goal should be to get educated about the steps in the short sale process. Once you feel confident about your ability to follow the process and successfully work two or three deals through to approval and closing, you can develop a marketing strategy that works for you.

The Purpose of Pre-Qualification

Pre-qualification means that you will be screening your seller prospect against a series of criteria to determine if they will likely qualify in the lender's eyes for a short sale of their home. We refer to this step as "prequalification," since it is the lender's role to actually "qualify" the seller or not. The pre-qualification step is the most important step in the short sale process because it determines your success or failure. With a 20-minute phone call, you will know with a 90% degree of certainty whether your seller is a solid candidate for a lender's short sale program. It is important to note that, in this step, success is defined as an approval, not a closing. A closing is different; other factors are involved in closing
a file.
When I was less experienced with short selling, my pre-qualification step was more like a hope and a prayer! I was not always certain about the outcome for my sellers. Now, we are so confident about our 7 Day Systems pre-qualification process that if a lender denies one of our short sale proposals, the next step is to investigate and possibly even dispute. In most cases, the loss mitigator has missed something or there has been
38
a miscommunication or an oversight. This is particularly true for short sales involving government-insured FHA mort"o-ages (see "FHA Short Sales" later in this chapter).

39
The Four Most Important Short Sale Qualification Criteria

Lenders require that homeowners meet the following four criteria in order to be considered for a pre-foreclosure short sale:
1.
2. 3.
The homeowner must be experiencing a hatdship. The homeowner must owe more than the home is worth. The homeowner must be in arreats (past due) on their mortgage account. The homeowner must be able to show that they can no longer afford the property or afford to bring money to closing. They must be financially insolvent.
4.
Typically, if your seller meets all four criteria, the short sale proposal will be straightforwatd, and you should experience a greater than 90% success rate for getting these short sales approved, provided that your short sale proposal package is prepated and presented correctly. When interviewing a prospective short seller, it is best to use an interview questionnaire-such as the one offered by 7 Day Systems-to sequence your questions and gather the most relevant information. Before we discuss how to use this pre-qualification questionnaire, however, let's review the four qualification criteria in greater detail so that you will understand what you are listening for in the interview.
40
Criteria #1: Hardship

Hardship is typically something beyond a person's control, an external situation causing a person to no longer be able to meet an obligation. While tbere are several reasons a homeowner might experience a hardship, tbe following are tbe most common.
1. Loss of Income
.. .. II .. Loss of job Temporarily out of work for any reason Wages cut New job tbat pays less
1. Increased Expenses
III III III III Mort"oage payment increases Property tax increases Family emergency Additional family members in household (new baby, parents, in-laws) Overextended credit; high minimum payments Other unforeseen expellSes
l1li
..
3. Medical Problems
II .. .. Medical bills Medical condition resulting in decreased income Medical condition preventing homeowner from living alone/unassisted Mental healtb issues
..
41
4. Death in the family

Death of a spouse or other family member-typically, results in loss of income and/or increased expenses
5. Divorce/Absolved Relationship
Division of marital home Forced move/sale Loss of income Increased expenses
6. Job Transfer
Forced move/sale
Criteria #2: The Homeowner Is Upside Down

In order to qualify for a short sale, a homeowner must owe more than their home is currently worth. A homeowner must be facing "negative equity." Early in my career, I listed a property for a homeowner who was in financial distress and behind on their mort,,<>age payments. I worked through the steps in the short sale process-only to discover that the homeowner was not "short"! In other words, the homeowner was indeed experiencing hardship and facing foreclosure, but they had equity in their home. They could sell their home and make money on the sale. They did not qualify for a short sale. It was a tough but important early learning lesson for me!
42
Negative Equity
A term used to describe the situation in which the outstanding balance of a loan is greater than the current value of the asset originally used to secure the loan, For example, if you owe $15,000 on your car loan, but your car is currently worth only $10,000, you have $5,000 of negative equity, Properties with negative equity are said to be "under water," Borrowers with negative equity are said to be "upside down,"
The Seven Most Common Reasons a Seller Is Upside Down (or Has Negative Equity in their Home)
Negative home equity can ~esult from several different factors, The follo"",-ing are the most common :reasons: 1, Person bought at the height of the market and the market illts now declined, Person paid more than the property was worth, The area has become less desirable for any number of reasons, so property values illtve declined. Person purchased the home 'with little or no money down and wants to sell within a few years of purchase, and the property value has not increased during that time, Therefore, the costs associated with selling the property may create a balance due at closing, Person refinanced the home (with a high appraisal value) or took out a home equity loan and now has little or no equity, Person bought in a very new subdivision or recently developed area has not appreciated (or has depreciated) in value,

The market is soft because there is too much builder (new home) inventory or too many existing homes on the market (buyer's market).
How to Confirm that the Homeowner Is Upside Down

Initially, during the pre-qualification interview, you are really just taking the homeowner's word for what they own on the loan. To move forward with the short sale, however, it is essential for you to verify what the homeowner actually owes on their mortgage so that you can confirm that they are upside down and how many months in arrears their account is. The best thing to do is to order a payoff statement from their lender as soon as you take the listing. Ask the homeowner for a copy of their most recent mortgage statement, since this will also be very revealing. Do a comparative market analysis (CMA) on homes in the area to detertnine selling price. Run an estimated net sheet (HUD-l Settlement Statement) to account for all costs of selling the property. If the homeowner doesn't at least break even after paying all seller closing costs, they are short.
It is important to note that if the homeowner owes exactly what the
home is worth, they are still short-for example, if they owe $250,000 and their home is currently worth $250,000, they are still technically upside down because closing costs will cause them to fall short. If you detertnine that the homeowner is not actually upside down on their mortgage, you don't have a short sale client, but you still have a new listing and now you know how to proceed!
44
Criteria #3: The Homeowner Is in Default

Most banks are looking for a homeowner to be in default on their mortgage before they will consider doing a short sale. If the homeowner is 60 days or more in arrears, banks typically operate with a greater sense of urgency in processing the short sale. Interestingly, being in default is not a hard and fast qualification criterion. I have successfully negotiated many short sales for homeowners who were not behind on their mortgage payments-not yet, anyway. For example, maybe these homeowners are dipping into their savings accounts or getting their family's help. If you can prove that the homeowner has had a recent hardship and that default is imminent, the bank may still agree to do a short sale. In my experience, I ha",e assisted sellers who were transferred to jobs in other cities or states, and this forced them to leave and sel:l the property. Now, these short sale cases are much more difficult to work and can take longer to process. The ~ender will consider these cases a much lower priority than those with accounts that are several months in default. The longer the account sits in default, the higher the priority the short sale proposal will be to loss mitigators. So, it may seem tempting to tell your clients to just stop making payments, go into default, and get the attention of the loss mitigaror. But, remember, your job is simply to infonn the homeowner about how the process works. They will need to make their own decisions and weigh out the importance they place on preserving their credit or on short selling their home in a timely fashion.
Short Sale Agent: "Well, you know, Raymond, these lenders are dealing with several hundred short sale files. They have to assign a priority to each. The files that are not in default (and the ones that are only a few months behind on payments) will get a lower priority.
45
The lender wants you to keep making your payments because they want to mitigate their losses. That's their job. But the reality is that when you make your payments, you are preserving your credit-but you're not helping your situation. You're probably hurting it. You may be making payments, but you are likely not bringing down the principal on your loan, so you will still owe more than the value of your home in this current market. You will need to weigh out these choices for yourself. I just want you to be educated about how this all works."
Criteria # 4: The Homeowner Can't Afford

the Home
Again, initially, you will be taking the prospective short seller's word for it that they are financially insolvent. But, as you move forward in the short sale process, the Personal Financial Statement you ask them to prepare will establish whether or not they can afford to keep the home. In this document, homeowners will list their income and their expenses. When the lender reviews the Personal Financial Statement, they will look to see whether or not the homeowner's expenses exceed their income. In addition, the homeowner must provide information on their other assets--checking and savings accounts, retirement and investment accounts, and so forth. This information will establish whether or not the seller has funds to bring to closing.
46
Short Sale Qualification from the Lender's Perspective

Many real estate agents who decide to pursue the short sale market segment are surprised and frustrated to learn that each and every lender has their own info=ation requirements for short sales! Each lender will ask you to complete and submit a package of info=ation to demonstrate your client's candidacy for a short sale. If there are fifty lenders in the game, there will be fifty different short sale packages. Some short sale training systems advise you to call or to visit the website of each individual lender's loss mitigation department to request their unique short sale package. We have a berter wayl The beauty of the 7 DtlYs to Success with Short Sales system is that I have suocessfully incorporated all of the various lender requir=ents into one comprehensive short sale package. "More is better" is my motto. "When you begin using this comprehensive package, you will understand that, in some cases, you may be submitting slightly more info=ation than a particular lender requires-but it will never be less. For example, the Personal Financial Statement format that I have developed and that I ask my clients to complete is more detailed than that required by some lenders, but this ensures that you won't have information gaps and oversights.

FHA Short Sales

The process for handling government-insured mortgage loans is unique enough in the short sale business that it deserves additional explanation.
In 1994, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
introduced the Pre-Foreclosure Sale (PFS) Program. The pw:pose of this program is to help homeowners with FHA loans-that is, loans insured by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA)-to avoid foreclosure and find a way to transition to more affordable housing. Before 2000, all FHA loans in default were mitigated through HUD. In early 2000, HUD decided to pass the responsibility of loss mitigation on. to the individual HUD-appro"ed lenders (mortgagees). HUD began to train and encourllcge these lenders to offer sellers facing foreclosure the PFS Program as a loss mitigation option. Historically, banks have often opted to foreclose on properties-even when a short sale would offer a better option for the homeowner, buyers, and community---"because of the complexity and time involved in the short sale process. So, to incentivize both sides of the transaction, HUD began offering $1,000 per file to loan servicers for each completed short sale and a $750 to $1,000 incentive per transaction to homeown.ers. (As a sidebar, the problem with this model is that the incentive is given to the loan servicing company (the bank), not to the individual loss mitigato:tS processing the files. So, the historical challen.ge and the bottleneck at the loss mitigator levd remains.)
In February of 2009, the Obama Administration released the Making
Home Mfordable (MHA) program to offer assistance to an estimated 7 to 9 million homeowners by reducing mortgage payments and preventing avoidable foreclosures. The Foreclosure Alternatives portion of the MHA program is meant to help prevent costly foreclosures by providing incentives for HUD-approved lenders and for borrowers to pursue short sales and deeds-in-lieu-of foreclosure. Under this program, lenders may receive up to $1,000 per completed short sale file, and borrowers
49
may recetve up to $1,500 expenses.
ill
compensation to assist with relocation
Deed-in-Lieu (OIL) of Foreclosure

Term used when a borrower voluntarily transfers all ownership and interest of a property back to the lender (mortgagee) in order to satisfy the loan that is in default.
Dealing with FHA short sales, for me, is particularly rewarding because they follow some very specific and documented criteria-whereas conventional loans are not as standardized. For this reason, FHA short sales are much easier for me to pre-qualify.
Rules, Guidelines, and Criteria that Differentiate FHA Loans

The following are the rules, guidelines, and criteria (as published in the FHA Guidelines revised in December 2008) that differentiate short sales with FHA loans from those with conventional loans: 1. The loan must be in default. At the time the short sale is closed, the loan must be in default (which HUD defines as delinquent more than 30 days). Lenders may exercise their discretion to accept applications from borrowers who are facing imminent default (and who are not yet in default), but by the time the short sale is completed, the loan must be in default. The seller must occupy the property as a primary residence. HUD does authorize lenders to grant reasonable exceptions to non-occupant borrowers when it can be verified that the need to vacate was related to the cause of the default (e.g., job loss, transfer, divorce, death). The property cannot be used as a rental for more than 18 months immediately preceding the short sale approval.

Seller must complete an Application to Participate HUn Form 90036. This form is available from HUD's website at www.hud.gov or at www.sevendaysystems.com. You (the listing agent) will receive from the lender an Approval to Participate HUn Form 90045 when they have approved the short sale file. This document will spell out the details of the approval. The seller will be paid a consideration fee of $750 to $1,000 from HUD for a successfully completed short sale. This amount is typically paid at dosing. This incentive is designed to keep the seller motivated and to reward them for completing the process. In reality, however, much of this incentive will likely go toward any closing costs that HUD won't pay (e.g., unpaid HOA dues). So, the seller may see very little, if any, of this incentive.

The HUD Mortgagee Letter and How to Use It to Your Advantage

As you likely know, on an FHA loan, the government will protect all or a large portion of the lender's investment in the loan against default. These HUD-approved lenders, however, have a responsibility not to lose money for the government. They have a responsibility to mitigate loss on the government's behalf. (And, as we mentioned, these lenders also receive financial incentives to complete short sales.) So, to explain the Pre-Foreclosure Sale Program and encourage their approved lenders to offer this program as a loss mitigation option, HUD aeated a document called the Mortgagee Letter. The Mots,o-agee Letter is written as a memo, but it is really a short training manual on how to do a short sale from the FHA loss mitigator's perspective. Sadly, the number of foreclosures in the U.S. now necessitates that more lenders organize whole departments dedicated to loss mitigation. WhiJ.e many banks are inexperienced with loss mitigation, an even greater number of individuals serving as loss mitigators are inexperienced and poorly trained. Most have not even read the BUD Mortgagee Lettereven tho~h it is the definitive mMlual for processing govemmentinsulOed short sales. As an agent interested in pursing short sales, it is critical for YOU to understand the control wielded by the Mortgagee Letter. .. Loss mitigators processing FHA loans must comply with the rules outlined in the Monz,aagee Letter. Individual lenders cannot insert their own criteria or processing preferences into the FHA short sale process.

ATTENTION: SUBJECT:

~,
Hlgh foreclosure rates continue to have devastating effects on families and neighborhoods. The Federal. Housing Administration (FHA) remains committed to taking actions to help families avoid foreclosure. Since being introduced as anationalprogram in 19941> the PFS Program has helped thousands ofmortgagots in default to avoid foreclosure and transition to more affordable housing. The PFS Program can help many families who today are: facm,g foreclosure. The PFS loss mitigation option allows a mortgagor in default to sel! bis or her home and use the sale proceeds in satisfaction of the mortgage debt when the proceeds are less than the amount owed
'This Mortgagee Letter (MI.) serves to remind mortgagees of the relieftbal: tbe PFS Program ~an bring to borrowers with FHA-insured mortgages. To fucilitate greater use oftbis program, FHA has cocsolidated in this ML the requirements of the PFS Program that have been issued over the yellfS, andhas updated and clarified those requirements where needed, to better address the problems aced by mortgagors today and provide greater .flexibility in ~ocsiderio.g a mortgagor's candidacy for participation in tltis program.

All of this is great news for you the short sale agent! If you learn the ins and outs of the Mortgagee Letter, you will know exactly how to get your FHA short sales approved! You'll know exactly what the lenders will expect from short sale candidates. So, pre-qualification will be a snap. The Mortgagee Letter explains HUD's position on financial analysis, property value, property condition, contracts, sales period, inspections, closings, and more. Once you learn the directives of the HUD Mortgagee Letter, you'll find that you will be the one educating loss mitigators! You'll know the rules of their business better than they do. Information is power! I'm seeing more educated loss mitigators these days, but I can remember that, on a regul.ar basis, I used to have this sort of conversation with loss mitigators about denied files:
I<inoUy: "Carla, I understand what you';re saying about this file, but this is nat the way it should be done .... " Loss Mitigator: "What do you mean? That is the way we have been doing it for years." l<inoUy:"WeU, I understand, but on page 30 of bhe Mortgagee Letter, it e)qplains that ..." Loss Mitigator: "What Mortgagee Letter? What are you talking about?" <escalation to supervisor... > Loss Mitigation Supervisor: "Yes, iKnoHy, you're right. You know, we reaUy haven't taught our people that section of the Letter. That's a nuance that we really haven't gotten into with them .... But, you're right. We'll approve the file."

Prepare for the Pre-Qualification Interview

Now that you understand a bit more about tbe criteria you are listening for, let's discuss how to approach tbe pre-qualification interview witb your prospective short seller.
Streamline Your Process with a Phone-Based Listing Appointment

When I first began short selling, I approached my short sale listing appointments just as any otber listings-face-to-face appointments at tbe property and a five-page glossy presentation to showcase my business philosophy and my marketing plan. I even had a PowerPoint presentation I forced my clients to sit through! Over time, I began to realize tbat my sales presentations and elaborate marketing plans were not required for tbese pre-foreclosure properties. I learned tbat I could be even more successful witb a 20-minute, phone-based listing appointment. I've had agents ask me, "Honesdy, Knolly, are you trying to say I don't have to view tbe property and meet tbe client in person before I work witb tbem?" Yes, tbat is exacdy what I am saying! Let's look at tbe time otber short sale agents might spend on tbeir short sale presentations and compare it to tbe time required witb my system: Talking to tbe client on tbe phone (initial discussion) Travel time to and from tbe client's home: Explaining tbe short sale process to a client: 30 minutes 1 hour 2 hours
~,
56
That's up to 3% hours per listing! A phone-based appointment (with email followup)willsaveyouupt02t03hoursperlisting.At 50 listings per year, you will save about 150 hours of your life-almost a full month of workdays! You may be asking yourself, "What will the seller think of this approach!?" The prospect will follow your lead, so it will be important for you to educate them on why a face-to-face meeting is not necessary initially.
Prospect on the Phone: "So when will you be coming out to see my home?" Short Sale Agent: "You know, Caml, it sounds like you have a wonderful home. My team is eager to see it. Howeer, the bank doesn't reatly care what ,I think about the value of your home. What I mean is, once I 00nvince the bank to agree to do a short sale on your horne, they wiU hire their own independent appraiser who will come out and view your home and set a va'luation based on its condition. So for right now,1 wiU need to focus my energies on getting your short sale approved. In order to get the process going quiddy, !I wiH need to send you my short sale package and get that information back from you first, before my team member goes out to put up the sign and Lockbox and take some photos." Prospect on the Phone: "Okay. But who will let me know what I need to do to the home to get it ready for sale?" Short Sale Agent: "That's a great question, Carol. We won't be recommending that you do anything to the home that will cost you money. The truth is, since you won't be netting anything from the sale, the last thing you probably want to do is spend more money on a home you no longer can
57
afford. For that reason, we will be selling your home 'as-is.' My only suggestion is to clear out as much clutter as you can. Other than that you're _ okay." Prospect on the Phone: "That sounds good to me. What kind of marketing do you guys do?"
~,
~,
Short Sale Agent: "Carol, our team has an extensive marketing plan for homes we list. However, with short sales, marketing is not what sells the home. Short sales are price-driven. Our marketing strategy will be to price the home very well so that we can quickly generate a contract and get the bank working on getting your short sale approved."
Gather Preliminary Information on the Property

Before you conduct the interview with a prospective short seller, you need to gather as much preliminary information as you can about the property and the neighborhood/market. Obtain the complete property address. Look up the tax records for the property. Do a CMA, if possible, to research the trends in the area. Prepare your Short Sale Pre-Qualification Questionnaire.
Expect to receive some inbound calls off of your marketing. Respectfully address the caller, but stay on track with your plan to get prepared before the fortnal pre-qualification interview with a new prospect.
Prospect on Phone: "Hello, Knolly? This is Carol Carter. I was referred to you by Maureen Jones. She told me you might be able to help me. I think what I need is called a short sale."
58
Short Sale Agent: "Carol, I am so glad you called and that Maureen sent you my way. I am absolutely going to be able to help you! Now, what's your address? ... " Prospect on Phone: "I'm at 123 Oak Street, here in Austin ... " Short Sale Agent: "Fantastic. Now, Carol, Maureen told me you were going to call. I've got something going on right now, and you deserve my complete attention. I need to talk to you about this. Are you going to be available around 3:00? We can do this by phone. I'm sensitive to your time, and I want to make this as painless as possible for you. So, I'U just caU you at 3:00, then. Okay? ..."
For outbound calls th2.t you make to short sale leads, you will be "bie to p~epare in advance =d roll right into fie questions on the Short Sale Pre-Qruilification Questionruilre once you get the seller on the phone.
Get into the Short Seller's Frame of Mind

As you Me discovering, short sales are ver), different from traditional listings. This is also true about the sellers tbemselves. The short seller's emotional fnme of mind puts them in a very different place. Before you speak with a prospective short seller, it is ctitical that you appreciate their fume of mind and prepare for it appropriately. Typically, agents come into listing appointments with high energy-read), to sell their prospects on their services and capabilities. Drawing on both facts and feelings, listing agents give sales presentations-almost perfotmances-to persuade the homeowners to select them over their competitors. Sellers are eager to sell their home for top dollar and move on to the next phase of their lives, and they're eager to find the most talented salesperson to help them do this. As a traditional listing agent, ),ou might say something like, "You know, Joe, I am so happy you called me. As one of the top ten listing agents in the city, I use the latest tools
59
and techniques to get my clients' home sold for the most money in the least amount of time ... " Short sellers, on the contrary, are In the middle of a crisis. Due to hardships and financial challenges, they are being forced to sell their homes. Regardless of whether they qualify for a short sale, these homeowners are still distressed and facing challenges that they cannot handle on their own. For those sellers who have only negative equity in their homes (i.e., they are upside down), they cannot sell for a profit or even a breakeven. They are desperate to get out of their situation, and they need help. Typically, these sellers have sought you out for your short sale expertise, and you may not have any competition for the listing. As these sellers see it, you are their only hope for turning the situation around. Sellers who are distressed and/or upside down are typically facing a myriad of financial problems. It is important to have a thorough understanding of exacdy what the homeowners are facing, so that you will be well-informed and prepared to interact with them throughout the short sale process. Some sellers simply need to sell because they have been transferred to a job in another location. Others are facing a death in the family, medical problems, or divorce. Some of these individuals are just a heartbeat away from foreclosure or even bankruptcy, and they're scared of what the future might hold.
Build Rapport and Trust

So, instead of going in selling, your objective with short sellers is to listen to their story and build rapport and trust. You are going to need total access to information and details regarding their situation, and they need to know they can trust you. It is essential that your clients open up to you and lay everything on the table. This may be difficult for them to do. Human beings are very slow to trust one another.

Hi Porcia,
Good talking to you today. Based on your situation, the short sale is likely your best option. Also, we will get an offer over to CiliMorlgage to postpone the loreclosure. Can you emaH or send the payoff info you have (or your most recent mortgage statement) along with any leiters you have received kom your lender? You can also get more information about the shortsa'le process, along with oommonquestions and answers at: www.8hortSa:leSite.com. Keep in mind that appl1ing for a short sale is like appl1ing for a loan, so the lender asks for lots of documents. However... it is well worth it when you get into the program, since they wiill forgive the balance owed. And they will also pay my fee and the diosing costs. I have attached an information sheet and a checkl,ist of the documents we
i_
I need. We basically do all the work-so you'll be in good hands! Thanks again! Knolly

Many homeowners who are "upside down" on their mortgage opt to simply walk Ciway from their home and allow it to foreclose. The short sale cffers a much better option and provides a win-win for the lender and the homeowner.

Once you are approved for.a short sale, the lender will order an appraisal of your property to determine the market value. Once the value is determined, the lender will allow KnoJJy to sell your property at market value. Once sold, the remaining debt is usually forgiven. The lender often expects to collect 90% or more of the appraised value, so you may still accept an oftSr [ower than the appraised value. The bottom line is... If your home is worth less than you owe, you can still sell it via a short sale-without bringing ;,ny money to closing! Knolly Williams is one of Austin's premier short-sale listing specialIsts.

Special Note about Timing

In the checklist of items for the short sale package, you may have noticed that three documents were missing their checkmarks:
o o o
Fully Executed Purchase Contract on the Property Buyer's Pre-Approval Letter from their Lender HUD-l Settlement Statement (also called HUD-l Estimated Net Sheet)
These three documents are essential to the short sale package, but they cannot be completed and added to the package until a buyer is under contract for the property. Tills means that you will begin the process of collecting the necessary documentation for the short sale proposal, but these hst three documents will come a bit later in the process. We'll discuss these documents both in tills chapter and in "Day 5: Receiving Otters and Submitting the Short Sale Package."
$pedal Note about Properties with Second Liens

There is additional work to do when performing a short sale on a property that has more than one mortgage lien. If the first lien is found short, the second will be as well. This basically means that you will have to do twice the work because you will be submitting a copy of your short sale package to both the first and second lien holders. Lenders who are in a second lien position must agree-along 'With the first lien holder-to the short sale in order for you to sell the property. Most such lenders will readily agree, as they will typically get nothing if the property forecloses. Indeed, as foreclosures have been on the rise in recent years, more and more second lien holders are becoming fearful that they will not make any of their money back. Proactively, they are offering homeowners special early payoff incentives and so forth to try

to recoup their money before the homeowner faces a short sale or a foreclosure. Years ago when I fIrst began doing short sales, the fIrst lien holder would negotiate directly with the second to settle the short sale. This made my job easier, and the second lien holders were more convinced that they should act quickly. These days, the fIrst lien holders are so swamped that they are not willing to take on this additional task.
Be sure you know your numbers!

You need to know exactly how much the seller owes on each mort,,<>age loan. Order payoff statements from each lender to determine what is owed. Next, see if the net proceeds from the short sale (the amount left over after all expenses are deducted) will be enough to cover the fIrst lien. If so, the fIrst lien will be paid in full and whatever is left will be offered to the second. If the remaining proceeds are not enough to cover the second lien, this lien it is short. In these cases, you will focus your negotiating efforts on the second lien holder. You won't need to spend time negotiating with the fIrst lien holder. If both liens are short, you will offer the bulk of the net proceeds to the fIrst garger) lien and a nominal amount to the second lien. Typically, the fIrst lien holder will not agtee to offer any more than $1,000 to $3,000 to the second lien holder. Now, be sure not to make this rookie mistake: The net proceeds from the sale must always be applied towards the primary lien fIrst. You cannot apply the proceeds to the second lien fIrst and pay it off because it is a smaller lien amount. It doesn't work that way. First comes fIrst! So, if you determine that your client's fIrst lien is short, then the second one is short as well-by default. We will further discuss the special steps you must take to process a short sale on a two-lien property in this chapter and again in "Day 5: Receiv-
96
ing Offers and Submitting the Short Sale Package." At this point, as you read about the specific documents required for a short sale proposal package, remember that if there are two liens on the property and they are both short, you must prepare and submit a separate package to each lender.

o The Hardship Letter

The hardship letter is one of the key components in the short sale package. This brief letter explains the hardship the homeowner is experiencing and helps the lender determine whether this homeowner is worthy oflender assistance.
Strategies for Success

Don't ask your clients to write their own letters!
Some agents ask their clients to write their own hardship letters. While it's critical to get accurate information from your homeowner client, it's not the best idea to ask them to author the actual letter. The hardship letter must be professionally crafted, sttategic, and persuasive. As a short sale specialist, you are in a better position to determine which information is relevant and which will be disttacting or unconsttuctive. After you compose the letter, you will, of course, present it to your client for their review and signature. Another option would be to allow your client to compose a first draft-that you then revise, following the format that we recommend in this chapter.
Keep it short!
Avoid the temptation to create a long, drawn out, two-page document. In most cases, the hardship letter should be between three and six sentences. I have learned from experience to keep it brief. I tell the banks only what they need to know to make a decision. Typically, I take three sentences to explain the unique elements of the homeowner's situation, then one to two standard closing sentences. (See samples.) I am cautious not to inadvertently give lenders ammunition that they can use to disqualify the short sale.
98
There's no need to exaggerate or dramatize the situation.

I have found that it is unnecessary and ineffective to exaggerate or dramatize the situation. There's no need to "lay it on thick"! Your objective should be to present an unvarnished, honest statement of yom client's hardship.
''-
Don't send "supporting documentation," unless requested.

Some agents recommend sending various supporting documentation along with the hardship letter. I have rarely had a lender ask for copies of death certificates, pink slips, hospital bills, and so forth to back up claims made in the letters. My policy is to send this documentation-if requested. Don't ask your clients to spend their time and energy collecting these documents until needed.
Don't overthink itl

Don't ovel1:hink the hardship letter! Don't try to figure out ways to get into the mind (or heart) of the loss mitigator working the case. State the facts of the case simply and succinctly, focus on the reasons for default, and that's it.

A Loss Mitigator's Take on a Sample Hardship Letter

Take a look at this sample hardship letter and the comments that a loss mitigator might make about the statements. In other words, notice how many holes can be punched in this short sale request.
From: Heather Homeowner

Re:
Hardship Letter/Short Sale for 555 Oak Terrace, City, State 78577
To 'VI'hom It May Concern: I'm a single mom who purchased our home at 555 Oak Terrace in October 2005. At that time, I had just started my own business as a cosmetics sales consultant. I had great hopes for generating an income to support my mortgage and lifestyle with my daughter.
Unfortunately, sales were very slow the first SL'C months, and this put me into a desperate situation with my mortgage and my credit cards. To supplement my cosmetic sales, I began to wait tab!es at a local restaurant and my parents loaned me $4,000, which didn't last long. After struggling for months to make my expensive mortgage payments, I had no choice but to put my house on the market. In April of 2Cl06, I put my home up for sale as a For Sale By Owner. I set the original asking price as $240,000. I didn't get any offers at this time because most buyers were concerned about the water damage in the living room-caused by roof damage the house suffered duting a storm in late 2005.
e I could not
'~
make the repairs, so I lowered the asking price, but still had no offers. Over the next couple of months, I lowered the home price three times,
(continued ... )
103
finally settling at $170,000. This price was the lowest I could go and still cover final costs. I am not anticipating any profit. The home still has no offers. I have now decided to list the house with a real estate agent, instead of as a FSBO. I think this will make a difference. I realize that I can no longer afford the home I am in. I have
given up on the cosmetics sales business, as it seemed too competitive in
my area. ., I am waiting tables full time. In my current situation, I cannot support a mortgage payment of $2,200 per month. I fear that foreclosure is around the corner, and that would have a devastating effect on my credit. I am requesting assistance in avoiding foreclosure action. I deeply appreciate your assistance and understanding. If you have any questions, or need anything further from me, please contact me.

"Are you saying you purchased a home at the same time as starting a new business? Do I smell loan fraud? Did you purchase the home on speculative income? Sounds like you deceived us about your employment." 49 "So, did you have prior experience with cosmetic sales? What do you mean 'hopes'? Did you do your research about the costs for this start up? Sounds like you were gambling with our money. This doesn't sound like a hardship to me. You took a risk (with our money) and failed."

Day 3: Gathering Information for tile Short Sale Package
105

For the most part, the short sale listing agreement is the same as a traditional (non-short sale) agreement. There are, however, a few unique strategies you can implement. Add a special provisions statement. While formats may vary for listing agreements, all typically include a section used to explain any special provisions. To this section, we recommend you add a statement such as: This listing agreement is subject to seller's lender approval of a short sale.
This statement protects the seller and makes them feel more comfortable knowing that they are not "locked in" if they are not approved for the short sale. Consider adding a statement about price instead of a dollar amount. In the sales price section of the agreement, we recommend that you not state a dollar amount, but rather add a statement such as: Sales price to be determined by lender.
This will give you maximum flexibility and will allow you to adjust the price as necessary, without having to go back and get your client's permission each time. Again, because the seller cannot make any money from the short sale transaction, they are likely much less interested or engaged in the pricing strategy or potential price reductions. However, if they are concerned that this statement will somehow mean that their home will be sold at a cut rate, reassure them that their mortgage lender will want to get the highest price for the house. Lenders have an investment in this and they want to mitigate their loss.
106

'-
Some states may not allow a statement to be added instead of the price in a dollar amount. Our team has not heard of any challenges to this strategy, but you will want to be educated on your particuhr state and local guidelines. If your broker takes particular issue with this strategy, you could add a listing price of market value or slightly under and a statement such as: III Seller grants listing agent the permission to adjust the list price as stated in paragraph X as market conditions dictate.
Set a long ,contract term/length.

The length of your listing contract should be based on your market, but we recommend that you make it at least a six-month contract to cover all possible issues and delays in the transaction pmcess.
Set the (lommission at 6%.

In my experience, it typically works best to simply put "6%" for the agents' commission. Some shol"1: sale specialists advise stating a commission of ''7%'' or "8%," so that there will be room to negotiate the bank down to 6%. I believe banks can easily see through this tactic-making it ineffective and unnecessary. If they're going to offer 6%, then that's what they will do. If they're going to offer 5%, then that's what they will offer. They're not going to look at a listing contract with "8%" noted and suddenly up their offer to meet the agent halfway.

Day 3: Gathering Infonnation for the Short Sale Package
107
o letter of Authorization
As first discussed in Day 2, you will need written authorization to speak with your client's lender(s) about their financial information. To make this request from the lender, you will need the last four digits of your client's Social Security number and a signed authorization statement. Remember that it may take up to 72 hours for the lender to process the Letter of Authorization and give you access to the client's account. If a foreclosure date has already been set for your client, every day counts!
Note: If your client has mortgage loans from two different lenders and both loans are short, you will need to complete (and your client will need to sign) a Letter of Authorization request for each lender.

With your authority to discuss your client's account, the first thing you will want to do is order a payoff amount for your client's loan(s). On the Knolly Team, we submit the Letter of Authorization simultaneously with a request for the loan payoff amount. Our fax cover sheet explains the request. Note that the Letter of Authorization will often need to be faxed to a different fax number from the loss mitigation department's number (the number you will use for the rest of the short sale package). Check with the lender to make sure your authorization letter gets to the right place. You can obtain the telephone and fax numbers of the lender's authorization department by calling the lender's customer service number and requesting them.

o Financial Statement
All lenders require a financial statement from homeowners applying for a short sale. Think of the fInancial statement as your client's financial budget. On the financial statement, your client will list their expenses and their income along with assets and liabilities. Whereas the pre-qualifIcation step relied on your client's recollections, opinions, and perspective, the financial statement is gtounded in the factual realities of the situation and will validate (or invalidate) the client's initial statements. Much of the lendet's decision to approve a short sale rides on the financial statetnent and the hardship letter. Your clients should be able to complete the financial statement with few challenges. It's essentially a simple budget statement and should be selfexplanatory. As a short sale agent, however, you need to be very confIdent and knowledgeable about this document so that you can effectively analyze the data and draw conclusions.
~
..
Again, I have spent years processing short sales, and I have learned a gteat deal about what lenders are looking for in the financial statement. The 7 Day Systems Personal Financial Statement represents a comprehensive document that will more than satisfy the information requirements made by the major lending institutions. There is only one important instance in which I recommend using the bank's own financial statement format if it's going to serve your client best. We'll discuss that exception later in this section.
112
PERSONAL FINANCIAl.. STATEMENT
Sample 7 Day Systems Personal Financial Statement
113

Let's look at a few key sections and points on the Personal Financial Statement form.
Be strategic (and accurate) about listing Borrower and Co-Borrower information.

Make certain that you understand your clients' situation so that you can properly counsel them on how to complete the Personal Financial Statement form. On occasion, you may find that two borrowers are formally listed on the mortgage loan, but one of the borrowers is not currently honoring their responsibility to make payments. For example, you might have a client who is going through a divorce, who has just been widowed, whose coborrower has just walked out, or something similar. In these cases where only one borrower now lives in the home and is struggling to make payments alone, you should ask your client to complete only the ''Borrower'' side of the Personal Financial Statement. You want to advise your client to complete the form so that it accurately reflects the income that is being conttibuted to the household and being used to make loan payments. (Remember, that all parties listed on the mortgage note(s) must be in agteement about selling the home.) If such circumstances need to be futther explained for the lender (loss mitigator), you may add a simple statement to the hardship letter. Now, if both borrowers still live in the home, but only one is employed (earning) and conttibuting to the loan payments, both the Borrower and Co-Borrower portions of the Personal Financial Statement should be completed. The non-conttibuting borrower's income would be listed as
"$0."
114
Thoroughly capture all monthly expenses.

What is great about the 7 Day Systems Personal Financial Statement is that it captures approximately 30% more expense line items than most other forms. In other words, your clients will be asked to document every little thing that costs them money. This will only help in building the case for what a month-in-the-life looks like for this homeowner. When your clients fill out the Monthly Expenses portion of the financial statement form, they should enter actual expense amounts (i.e., their bill amounts) instead of the partial amounts they may be paying towards these bills. For example, I've had clients enter "$0" for the monthly mortgage payment because they were not currently making paymentsI Instead, they shoul.d have listed the amount of their monthly mort,,~e bill. For the credit card monthly expenses, ask your clients to put either their monthly minimums or the monthly payment amounts if they aim to payoff the balar>ce in 12 month s. Once you receive your client's completed Personal Financial Statement, review the document thoroughly and "nitpick" over the details. Look for more expenses that your clients may have missed. Host a phone conference cail with your client and ask questions to probe and jog their memory. For example,
( Scr.i.Pk!) Agent: "Have you had any car repairs thjs year? . . '..
_ _, ..... .... No? Ok, but what do you typically budget for car . . maintenance each year?" Agent: "You noted $0 for dental expenses. Do you not go to the dentist? What about your three children? Let's figure out what two cleanings a year would cost for your whole family. Then we'll divide that by twelve." Agent: "Did you say your husband has already started his new job in the other city? Is he paying rent on a place there? We need to add that to the rent line item."
115
I had one client who failed to note that she had more than $60,000 in school loans. She had not been making loan payments for months, so she just forgot to add those payments as an ongoing monthly expense.
Compare the expenses to the income.

To qualify for a short sale from the lender's perspective, the homeowner's total monthly expenses must be more than their monthly income. (Or in some cases, proposals will be accepted when the income is just slightly more than the expenses.) I do not share this rule with my clients. I don't want them to manipulate the data or be dishonest in their documentation. I don't want them looking for ways to pad the expenses total. Their objective should be to capture the facts as accurately and thoroughly as possible. You, as the short sale specialist, however, should know what you are looking for in the financial statement. If monthly income greatly exceeds monthly expenses, then you need to go back and recalculate or find out why your client cannot make their mortgage payments. The document is telling you that they will not qualify for a short sale settlement.

116
Use the lender's own financial statement form when ...

The 7 Day Systems Personal Financial Statement should serve you and your clients well with all lenders. However, if you have a case in which your client's assets and liabilities are presenting a conflicting message, you may opt to use a less detailed form-such as the ones used by some lenders. For example, I had a client who was struggling to make mortgage payments, and he owed more than the market value of his home. But, when he submitted his financial statement to me (using the very detailed 7 Day Systems form), he listed a 401K retirement account as an asset with a balance of $300,000 and another IRA account with additional money. This presented a very different message about his financial position. So, we decided to take a look at the financial statement form used by his specific mortgage lender. Their form required less information about assets and liabilities. So, we submitted the pacb.ge with all information required by the lender's form, and no other questions were asked. My recommendation is to always begin with the 7 Day Systems form because this will require that your client provide very detillled information about expenses. Even if you switch to the lender's unique form, you "'W-illeasily be able to transfer the total expenses that you gathered in detail on the 7 Day Systems form.
117
o Recent Bank Statement

The lender will want a complete and recent copy of the homeowner's bank account statement. If the homeowner uses online banking, most lenders will accept a statement printed from this online source. We recommend obtaining two-months-worth of statements from your client.
Notes
118
o Recent Paycheck Stub

The short sale proposal package should include a recent copy of your client's pay stub---if employed. If your client is self-employed, the lender may want to see a copy of the previous year's tax return. If two borrowers are on the loan and both are living in the home and contributing to mortgage payments, both will need to submit pay stubs and/ or tax returns. We recommend obtaining two-months-worth of pay statements &om your client(s).
Notes
119
o Fully Executed
Purchase Contract
This component of the package will be added later.
At this point in the process, you may not have identified a buyer for the property. However, the final short sale package should include a fully executed purchase contract signed by all parties. Most banks won't consider doing a short sale without a contract on the property. Under the Special Provisions section of the contract, we recommend you add the following statements:
.-,
"This contract is subject to and contingent upon seller's lender approval of a short sale." ''Property is being sold as-is."
Note: Some Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and local boards have specific addendums that they require to be included with a short sale offer or contract. Make a point to familiarize yourself with these fottns.
,-,
-,
We'll discuss the guidelines for buyer contracts in "Day 4: Listing and Marketing the Property," and we'll discuss how to review offers and prepare the contract documentation in "Day 5: Receiving Offers and Submitting the Short Sale Package."
120
D Buyer's Pre..Approval letter
Along with the executed buyer's contract, you will also need to submit a buyer's pre-approval letter as part of the short sale package. This informs the seller's lender of the buyer's approval to finance and purchase the home without complications. We'll discuss the buyer'S p:re-"'pprovalletter further in ''Day 5: Receiving Offers and Submitting the Short Sale Package."
Notes
121
o Estimated HUO-1
Settlement Statement
Once you have an offer on the property, you will be able to move forward with an estimated HUD-l Settlement Statement (also called "estimated HUD-l net sheet") to add to the short sale package. This settlement statement is extremely important because it shows the bank how much they will net out of the transaction.
A.

U.S. Dipartment of Houslng

and UrtNln [)QlII!lopmllt'lt
~I
Sample Portion of a HUD-l Settlement Statement
122

Make sure you are working with a settlement agent who understands short sales. The HUD-l Settlement Statement IS a complicated document to complete for a traditional real estate transaction-try a short sale transaction! Even though the settlement agent (an escrow officer or attorney) will be working under your direction, it is critical for this individual to understand how to draw up HUD-l Settlement Statements for short sales.
Consider developing a training document to help settlement agents (esorow officers/attorneys) draw up HUD-1 Set~.lement Statements in the manner that will be necessary for short sale processing. Check out the sample training document on your 7 Days to Success with Short Sales Toolkit CD!
As a standard requirement of their job, a settlement agent knows how to enter in the "settlement charges" such as commissions, fees, taxes, and so forth. The challenge comes in accurately documenting the summary of the seller's side of the short sale transaction. At this point in the process, you have already been authorized to speak with your client's lender(s) regarding their accounts. If your client has two liens on their property, you have ordered payoff statements from both lenders. These payoff statements will help you determine whether one or both of the liens are short. Again, it is possible for the sale of the home to generate enough net proceeds to completely payoff the first..
Day 3: Gathering Infonnation for the 5hort Sale Package
123
lien holder, but not the second. Other times, you will need to request approval for a short sale from both lien holders. Every market is different. In my experience and in my market, I have found that in 75% of the cases with two property liens, both liens will be short. In a traditional real estate sales transaction, the payoff amount for the loan(s) would be noted on the seller side of the document (lines 404 and 405 of the HUD-l). In a short sale, "payoff amount" is an irrelevant factor in the settlement equation. A short sale means, by definition, that the lender will be accepting an amount that is less than the loan's actual payoff amount. So, what does this mean for the HUD-l form? As the short sale agent, you must carefully direct the settlement agent to enter figures that will (hopefully) satisfy the settlement positions of both lien holders. The figure on the next page, illustrates how the bank(s)' net proceeds would appear on the HUD-1. We'll discuss the details of completing the HUD-l Settlement Statement further when we reach "Day 5: Receiving Offers and Submitting the Short Sale Package." At this later point in the process, you will have the remaining puzzle pieces necessary to complete the HUD-l-sales price and dollar amounts that should go to each lender (if more than one lien).

( Market Analysis (CMA)
o Comparative
OPTIONAl.
While optional, the Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is highly recommended. Yes, the bank will order their own appraisal or broker's price opinion (BPO). However, you can help inform the bank's thinking early on by including your own CMA in the short sale package you submit. Some short sale training systems teach agents how to get the bank to agree to a low ball listing price (lower than market value)-when they know that the property will quickly and easily sell for more (with little or no improvements). These strategies appeal to investor agents who will buy-and-flip or buy-fix-and-flip their short seller's property. These strategies also appeal to agents who know they can find a buyer who will pay market value or higher--allowing the agent to pocket the difference. These strategies are not the strategies of 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales. We recommend that you practice the same CMA strategy you would with any seller-short sale or traditional sale-who needs to sell within 30 to 60 days. In fact, my rule of thumb is to price the property at an amount that would create an offer within 15 to 30 days. Price the property to move. Price it right; price it correctly. Price the home at the best price within reason for a quick sale with active marketing. The CMA format recommended by 7 Day Systems is short and sweet. It's a synopsis document that can be assessed at a glance. We find that this format works to our advantage-particularly when banks say they don't want to see the listing agent's CMA. They will look at this short, concise, persuasive document.

o Additional Documents
for Government-Insured Loans
When you are processing a short sale on a property with a governmentinsured loan, you will need to submit additional documents in the short sale package. For VA Loans:
IiI IiI IiI
For FHA Loans: The most recent two years' tax return Application to Participate Form (HUD-90036)
Recent Two Years' Tax Return

Both VA and FHA lenders will require homeowners to submit copies of their tax returns for the two years prior to the short sale-regardless of the homeowners' employment status.
Application to Participate Form (HUD-90036)

For clients with FHA loans, HUD requires homeowners to complete an application in order to be considered for a short sale. The Application to Participate (HUD-90036) must be completed by the homeowner. You will submit this completed and signed form with your short sale package to the seller's lender. The lender, in turn, will be responsible for submitting this document and other pertinent information to RUD. (Note: This application form is for FHA loans only.)

Welcome to Day 4 of 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales! You've started collecting the documentation you need to submit a short sale package for your property. In this next step in the process (Step 3: List & Market the Property), you'llleam how to move forward with the property sales process.
The Short Sale Proc;ess
YOIl are Ihere!
In "Day 4: Listing and Marketing the Property," we will discuss the techniques for posting the short sale listing on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). And we'll get into the details of one particular document
Day 4: Listing and Marketing the Property

that will make your life a lot easier: the Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines. Your approach for marketing a short sale listing will be very different from the approach you typically follow with traditional listings. We'll discuss why this is so. And before we end this day of learning, we will discuss why it is important to contact the title company or attorney to open a file and initiate a title search on the property.

Pricing the Home
r------Q-------,
Do I need to wait for the bank to run their appraisal/BPO before I set the price of the home and list it on the MLS?
1% ,.
~
Even though the lender will ultimately determine what they will accept for the sale of the home (the settlement), they want to wait until further in the process to declare this amount. This means that the short sale agent should move forwa~d with a standard Comparative Market Analysis (C]'v1A) roevaluate the best price for the home. It is only after the price has been set and the home attracts a buyer with an executed offer that the lender ",-ill begin the process of negotiating for their final settlement figure. The lenders want the buyers to "tip their hand first," so to speak As first discussed in "Day 3: G<tthering the Information for the Short Sale Package," your pricing strategy for a short sale property should not differ drastically from your strategy for any other home that needs to sell within 30 to 60 days. Price the home as you would for a highly motivated client with equity. Price the home to move. This typically means that you will price the home right at market value or slightly lower.

HI
A solid, well-researched CMA is your key. When you run your comparatives, make sure that you pull 30- or 60-day reports. That is, you should compare your client's property to homes that have sold in less than 60 days on the market (DaM). Your client's neighborhood may be averaging 200 DaM, but the lender is not going to wait 200 days for a sale! Now, when I say to use comps of homes that took 30 to 60 days to sell, what I actually mean is, I use comps for houses that took 30 to 60 days to sell once they were priced correct!J. Many times I will use a comp on a house that technically took over 100 days to sell. However, when I research the sales history, I can easily see that the price was adjusted and the home then sold within 30 to 60 days of the last price adjustment. Such comps are also usable. By using 30- or 60-day comps for your pricing, you are pricing the home cortectly and setting yourself up to generate an offer quickly. Once you have completed your CMA, stand behind it and communicate to the other parties in the process. As we discussed in Day 3, even
138
though banks say they don't want or need your CMA, make sure that it's a part of the short sale package you submit. This will help prevent unreasonably high lender appraisals. like any industry, there are many opportunities for corruption. I have heard of BPO agents who intentionally value properties too high so that the homes will not sell and will go into foreclosure. Of course, this doesn't really benefit their bank clients, but their strategy is to be there (i.e., be the trusted agent) when the bank needs to engage an agent to sell the property as an REO foreclosure property. Sneaky, huh? This is not a regular occurrence, but this is another reason you want to communicate your CMA and pricing to the banks and to the BPO agent.

Posting on the MLS

Over the years as a short sale specialist, I have worked to perfect my system for listing and marketing distressed properties. Many of the procedural steps for posting a short sale listing on the Multiple listing Service (MLS) are similar to the ones you would follow for a traditional listing. We'll focus on what makes the process unique.
Agent Comments
When listing a short sale on the MLS, I always disclose to other agents that the property is a short sale. For example, I add the following statement in the Agent Comments section (not viewed by the general public):
Short sale subj ect to seller's lender approval.
There are different schools of thought on whether or not you should disclose the fact that the property is a short sale. It may be true that some buyer's agents will be less motivated to show a home that is a short sale (due to the longer-than-average close time). However, I believe full disclosure of the fact that the property is a pre-foreclosure short sale is the most ethical practice and it is, indeed, required by many real estate boards. You can also regularly update your comments in the MLS to alert agents about the current status of the short sale. For example:
Short sale subject to seller's lender approval. Package already submitred to the lender. Short sale subject to seller's lender approval. BPO already ordered.
140
Short sale subject to seller's lender approval. Almost approved. Short sale is already APPROVED by seller's lender at list price. Quick close!
Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines Document

I can remember a time in Texas when we were not required by our boards to disclose a property's short sale status, nor were we required to disclose the procedure and expectations to the buyer's agent. Because I knew it would ultimately benefit all parties, I made extra efforts to disclose the status of the property and inform buyer's agents of the process. In fact, for each new buyer'S agent, I would devote at least 30 minutes expla.ini1l.g the process. [ sounded like a broken record. Then, I evolved my system and developed acomprebensive document to educate both buyer'S agents and their clients about how to mal,e an offer on a short sale property: The Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines. Each MLS system is different. Some systems will allow you to upload a document for other agents to access and download. Because this is the case in my area, I simply upload my Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document to the MLS for each of my short sale listings. Another strare"oy wonld be to add a comment to the MLS stating that buyer's agents must email you for a copy of this document before submitting an offer.

On our team, we require that the Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines be signed by both the buyer's agent and their buyer client before we will submit a short sale offer or ,executed contract to the lender. I ask that the buyer'S agent read the document first and then call me with questions. This streamlines the process.

What is a short sale? A short sale rarers to the sale of real property for an amount less than the amount owed on the property. The lender (FHA, VA, Of Sank) agrees to accspt less than the full balance duE' on the debt and usually "forgives" all Of a large port101'l of the difference.

7 Day Systems Short Sale Disclosu:<e and Agent Guidelines
143
A Closer Look at the Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines

The Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document that I have developed is more comprehensive and detailed than any document I have seen used by other agents or real estate boards. The purpose of the document is to get helpful information into the hands of the buyer'S agents to make their life easier-=d, in the process, make YOUR life easier. When you prepare and implement a document like this, it will also demonstrate your knowledge and expertise in the business of short sales. Note: You will need to develop your own version of the guidelines document that complies with the rules of your MLS. Use the version on the Toolkit CD to help you get started. Our 7 Day Systems document begins with a brief definition of a short sale. The remainder of the document highlights the policies and guidelines for specific sections of the purchase contract:
1. CLOSING DATE
Short Sales usually take 30 60 days to close. They can take longer, and the final closing date is contingent upon the lender. If the buyer must be in the home SOONER than this time frame, OR cannot tolerate delays beyond 60 days, they should NOT make an offer. This time frame is dependant on where the file is in the short sale process. For example, if final short sale approval has been granted, then the process can take as few as 20 days. We recommend a closing date of 30 days beyond the offer submission date. When an offer is received AFTER short sale approval, an offer will take 5-10 business days for approval/denial.
2. COMMISSIONS
Commission may not exceed 6% on FHA liens-split is 50/50. For Conventional liens, the lender may only pay 4-5'%--split 50/50. We
144
won't know until they provide a "counter offer." Please check MLS listing under BUYERS AGENT PERCENTAGE.

tJowvo tne vvcLtJtJLe."

3. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
All offers MUST include the following contingencies:
II ''PropertY is being sold AS IS." (Due to severe loss being taken by the lender, repairs cannot be made by the seller or the lender.) [Note: even if your state uses an "As Is" contract, lenders will want to see this statement in the Special Provisions section.] ''The contract of sale is conditional upon final approval of seller's lender andlor HUD." "Inspection Period: Buyer will be granted a 10-day inspection period at no charge. The inspection period will commence once the buyer'S agent receives written
145
notification from the listing agent that the short sale file is approved by the seller's lender. Duting the inspection period, buyer may tenninate the contract for any reason and any earnest monies will be released back to the buyer."
4. CLOSING COSTS
Lender will pay typical and customary closing costs such as title policy, agent commissions, etc. On FHA Short Sale: HUD will allow up to 1% of the buyer'S mortgage amount for closing cost to be included in the "Seller's Cost" on the HUD-l for all transactions that involve NEW FHA-insured mo~<>ages. On CONVENTIONAL Short Sale: Seller's lender MAY OR MAY NOT PAY any buyer'S closing cost or assistance programs. You are welcome to submit your offer, on CONV liens, with these costs included and we will forward to the seller's lender-they will make the decision on whether to pay.
5. SURVEY
The seller cannot be obligated to pay for a survev. and the seller's lender will not pay for the survev on the seller's behalf. There can be no "obligation clause" that requests the seller to pay the cost of providing a survey, AT THEIR EXPENSE, because the short sale lender (seller's mortgage company) will NOT pav that expense under any circumstances, and the seller is prohibited from conttibuting financially to the transaction. In other words, if the seller fails to provide the Survey and/or any Affidavit in the prescribed time period, s/he would be in breach of contract. The document would contain a promise that the seller cannot fulfill-thus forcing a breach of contract. Having explained this, we also understand this creates an obligation for the buyer to provide the cost of a survey. It must be understood that the
146
short sale lender sees the survey as a "buyer expense," since it is a document that is required by the buyer'S lender. As a professional courtesy, we will work diligently to obtain an existing survey from the seller and will provide it to the buyer'S agent, but we make no warranties or claims as to its accuracy or validity. The survey provided will NOT be accompanied by an Mfidavit.
6. RESIDENTIAL SERVICE CONTRACTS! HOME WARRANTY

The lender will not pay for any residential service contracts or home warranty on behalf of the buyer.
7.. HOA FEES

We recommend a SO/50 split for the BOA Transfer Fees. This makes the cost equitable between buyer and seller.
8. MULTilPLE OFFERS
We only work with the bank on one offer or contract at a time. In the event that we receive multiple offers on this property, we will not counter for your best and final offer. Our policy is to select and submit the best offer, so bear this in mind when submitting your offer.
9. PRE-APPROVAL LEITER
TI,e offer must include a pre-approval letter from the buyer's lender if 3rd-Party Financing is being accomplished. NOTE: if the offer is a CASH offer, the lender will still want to see a document that shows proof of funds available.
10. PROPERTY UTILITIES

In many cases, the property is being sold at a reduced price and the seller is in a hardship situation and cannot afford to have utilities turned on. Once the file is approved, our standard procedure is to ask the buyer(s) to tum the utilities on in their name if they wish to do an inspection. Since the file will close in several weeks and the utilities will
147

CLOSING PARAGRAPH
The Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document closes with a summary statement to help set expectations for the buyer'S agent and their client: In closing, the short sale program offers the buyer an excellent opportunity to get a great deal-provided the buyer is patient. For those of us accustomed to fast-paced real estate sales, the short sale process can be particularly frustrating, aggravating, and slow. In the end, however, the short sale process is a win-win program. Investors/Buyers, Lenders, Mortgagees, and Agents all benefit from the successful short sale. Investors/Buyers can purchase the property at or below market
148
value. Lenders get the majority of their money back. Sellers get the relief they need and are able to sell their property and avoid foreclosure. And Real estate agents can facilitate the transaction and receive compensation (commissions) from the sale of the property.
Signatures
Make certain that along "With any offer, the buyer's agent and their buyer client submit a signed Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document. This "Will help protect you against potential liability. Indeed, if issues arise, you may need to refer to the document and remind the buyer's agent and buyer that they signed and agreed to these terms.

Listing Marketing
Sellers of traditional (non-short sale) properties have high expectations for your marketing plan. They want to know the details of how you intend to sell their home for the highest price in the least number of days. The reality is that price sells homes-not marketing. But perception is reality. These sellers perceive that heavy marketing is always necessary. Sellers of short sale properties are ill a different mental place with different expectations about the sale of their home. As discussed before, they want to turn the entire process over to their agent and wash their hands of the details. And, because you have already educated them about the process and how the lender will ultimately determine the settlement amount, they are not likely to be interested in the details of how you will market the home to sell. I really rely on talented buyer's agents to recognize a good deal when they see one and bring it to their client's attention. I do not devote a lot of budget to heavy marketing. Virtual tours, for example, are well worth the effort and the expense for traditional listings, but not necessary or cost-effective for short sale listings. Note that your short sale clients may not want their neighbors to know that they are in a short sale situation. So, you must be respectful of this and ask for your client's pennission to disclose the situation when developing any publicly displayed marketing materials for the property. On the other hand, you may have other clients who have already relocated out of the neighborhood, for example, and who don't mind publicizing the fact that the property is selling as a short sale. When you formulate your strategy for marketing the short sale property, never forget that listing marketing is always a great way to generate additional listings and buyer leadsl
150
Title Search
After you have posted the new short sale listing to the MLS, send an email to the title company or attorney to open a file and begin a title search for liens on the property. Note that the title company or attorney that you will use is negotiable. However, it is customary for the party paying for the title policy to choose who will perform the title work. In the case of short sales, the seller's lender will pay for the title policy. Regardless, it makes sense for all parties to work with an experienced escrow agent.

IRS Tax Liens

One very important reason for performing a title search is to identify all outstanding liens on the client's property. In cases where the homeowner has not paid their income taxes, the IRS may place a federal tax lien on the property. Actually, the lien covers all of the person's property including the home. Typically, you can convince the IRS to remove the tax lien (from the house) by requesting a Certificate of Discharge of Property from Federal Tax Lien (publication 783) with the IRS. The reason the IRS has placed the lien on the person's home is so that they will get paid whenever the person sells their property. If you can convince the IRS that the homeowner is upside down and that there will be no resulting proceeds from the sale, the IRS may agree to release their lien. Along with your request, you will need to include some supporting documentation such as the purchase contract, the payoff statement from the bank, and so forth. I have had to deal with IRS tax liens on several occasions, and they are not fun. However, there is no way to move the short sale transaction forward until the IRS tax lien has been removed. This entire process should be coordinated in conjunction with your title company or attorney. Make certain that you are working with a title agent who knows the ins-and-outs of the partial release of lien process. For more information and complete instructions, go to www.irs.gov and search for "Publication 783."

Day 4 Wrap Up
Congratulations! You have completed Day 4, and now you are more than halfway through 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales. This day of learning focused on steps you follow once you have taken a short sale listing and you are ready to market it for sale. In particular, we shared tips and tricks for posting this unique type of listing on your MLS system. In order to work efficiently and see the greatest success in short sales, you must help others around you understand the rules and the process. For this reason, I developed the Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document to educate buyeis agents and their clients about how to make an offer on a short sale property. This document (which should be customized to comply with your state and local board and MLS) provides an explanation of and guidelines for the closing date, commissions, special provisions, closing costs, the survey, the home warranty, HOA fees, multiple offers, the buyer's pre-approval letter, and what to do about property utilities. You won't believe how much time you will he saving by implementing this Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines. Let the document do the work for youl Once you have priced the home coxrectly and posted the new listing on the MLS, you've done most of the work you need to do in terms of marketing this short sale property. Aggressive, high-exposure marketing plans are not necessary for these properties. They are priced to move and competent buyer's agents should be able to help spot these deals for their clients. Before going much further in the process with this new short sale listing, you need to get all of the "cards on the table." Contact the title company or attorney and initiate a title search immediately to identifY all
153
outstanding liens on the property. Cross your fingers that the homeowners aren't facing tax liens from the IRS. But if they are, you
will know what to do to clear the path for the short sale transaction.
Day 4 Action Items

1. 2. Familiarize yourself with the local board and MLS rules for posting short sale listings. Open the Short Sale Disclosure and Guidelines document on the 7 Days to Success with Short Sales Toolkit CD. Review the document and customize it to reflect your business policies and the guidelines of your state and local boards.
In Day 3, we began the process of collecting the essential documents for the short sale package. Then in Day 4, we took a break from the package prep work in order talk about how to get the property on the market and how to start attracting buyers. Things will heat back up again with the next day, "Day 5: Receiving Offers and Submitting the Short Sale Package." In this day, the remaining puzzle pieces will fall into place, and you'll be ready to submit your expertly prepared short sale proposal package to your seller's lender. Let's do it!

Welcome to "Day 5: Receiving Offers and Submitting tbe Short Sale Package"! In this day of learning, we'll talk more about working witb buyer'S agents and tbeir clients.
V;ou are here!
You will want to be very systematic about reviewing purchase offerswhetber you receive one or multiple offers for your short sale listing. As we discussed in Day 4, tbe Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document outlines your expectations and requirements for tbe purchase contract. Tbis document will become important once again, as you review each offer against your criteria.

157
We will also discuss how to prepare the final documents and submit the entire short sale proposal pacbtge to the lender. At this point, you should be ready to add the last outstanding documents-the purchase contract, the buyer's pre-approval letter, and the estimated HUD-l statement-to the pacbtge. We'll teach you the 7 Day Systems tips and tricks for organizing the pacbtge, preparing a coversheet, and sending the documents to the lender. You have been asked to absorb quite a bit of detailed instruction thus far in 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales. Hang in there! And let me remind you that your careful pre-qualification work and the your attention to detail during the pacbtge preparation will payoff immensely when you see that you have laid the path to a successful short sale approval!

Working with Buyers and Buyer's Agents

Obviously, you need a buyer to close the short sale deal, but what you must remember is that you need a buyer (their offer) to even start the process with the lender! Banks won't "work the package"-that is, banks won't begin reviewing a seller's short sale proposal-without a buyer offer on the property. Technically, FHA short sales can be approved without an offer in place, but most banks are in the habit now of waiting for an offer.
Educating Buyers and Buyers Agents

As discussed in "Day 4: listing and Marketing the Property," the Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document goes a long way in educating buyers and buyer's agents and setting their expectations for the uniqueness of the short sale. Your website F AQs are also a helpful .resource.

Why Buyers Walk

The number one reason buyers walk out on a short sale is because they aren't educated on the process. They get frustrated with the length of the process, and they are unfamiliar with the negotiations common to this type of sale. My friends Fred Weaver and Kevin Kauffman, agents in the Phoenix, Arizona area, have pioneered a strategy to help mitigate their risk when working with buyers. They ask their prospective short sale buyers to deposit non-refundable earnest money with the title company or attorney. As they explain it, "our seller only commits to one buyer and we expect the same commitment level from the buyer." Here's how this technique works. As the listing agent, you ask the buyer to sign an agreement stating that you the listing agent will work to get
160
7 Days to Success with Short SaIes
the property's short sale approved within 90 days. Along with the purchase contract, the buyer will deposit a non-refundable earnest money amount (say, $500) with the title company or attorney. If the buyer walks on the contract before the 90 days are up, this money will be released from the title company or attorney to you the listing agent. On day 91, the buyer has the option to terminate the contract and get the earnest money back. As the listing agent, you do not have to close on the property in 90 days, but you are committing to doing your best to get the short sale approved in this time frame. You might, in fact, opt to add a statement such as the following to your Short Sale Disclosure and Guidelines document III "Buytt agrees that $500 of the earnest money deposited shall be non-refundable within the first 90 days of the date of the contract. If 90 days from the contract date. have passed and the seller's lender has not issued a short sale Approval Notice, the earnest money will convert from non-refunGbible to refundable."
Investor Buyers
As we have discussed, the 7 Dqys to Success with Short Safes system is most
appropriate for investors who wish to buy-and-hold. Most buy-and-flip investors want to make at least 10% off a deal. Because most short sales (versus foreclosures) are priced at or very near market value, the only way for the investor to make close to 10% on tlle deal would be to somehow influence the bank and its BPO agent. I know from my own years of experience, I have never seen a lender knowingly settle for 30% less than the property valuation, for example. While I still think that short sales are a wonderful investment opportunity, investors will typically not get a "steal." They will be able to buy properties at or slightly below current market value. These deals are a great opportunity for investors who wish to purchase a property, hold and rent it for a few years, and then sell. This buy-hold-sell strategy can
161
be particularly effective in areas that have experienced a significant decline in property values due to a market over-correction. For investors who prefer to buy-and-flip, shott sales may not be the best opportunity, since lenders are trying to actively mitigate their losses by getting the highest price they can for the properties.
"At-Arms-Length" Rule
Another point to remember when working with buyers is that the lender will require the transaction to be made "at arm's length." In other words, the buyer cannot be related to the seller or be a close business associate.
Notes
162
Reviewing Offers
We recommend that you follow a very systematic process for reviewing buyer offers. The steps that we follow in our system help us save time and avoid errors.
Compare Offer to Agent Disclosure and Guidelines

When an offer comes in from a buyer, we first check to see that it complies with the directives we outlined in our Short Sale Agent Disclosure and Guidelines document. II II

163
What If the Offer Is Not Properly Structured?

The buyer'S offer (purchase contract document) must be structured and completed in the way that the banks expect to see it. When my team receives an offer on one of our short sale properties, we immediately review it against the Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document. In nearly 90% of the offers we receive, some section of the buyer contract has been completed incortectly or left blank. You have at least three different approaches to addressing this situation: 1. You can go through the document and make the appropriate changes yourself, send it to your seller for their initials, then send it back to the buyer's agent and ask them to have the buyer initial the changes or edits and resubmit. You can create a Review Sheet with a checklist of your criteria items pulled ftom your Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines. Use a check, "x," or asterisk system to denote to the buyer's agent which sections of the offer need revision. 3. You can use a set of boiler-plate emails to communicate with the buyer's agent about the ettors in the offer.
2.
On the Knolly Team, we follow this third option. We send a "try-again" email to the buyer'S agent, reiterating specific guidelines and asking the agent to submit a revised offer. In fact, we typically copy and paste passages directly from our Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines document. Rather than calling the buyer's agent or marking up the document, we just send this email. Agents who have prepared offers for foreclosures will be familiar with this "try-again" approach. Banks require that agents submit offers on their REO properties a certain way. They won't correct the documents or give lengthy explanations; they will just reject the offer/contract and ask for a revision. We follow this same model because it saves times and it is effective.
164
Email From: Knolly@knolly.com To: Linda@LindaTheBuyersAgent.com Subject: 907 Country Lake Drive-Short Sale Offer Linda, After reviewing all offers, we have selected your buyer's offer to submit to the seller's lender to begin their short sale review process. There are, however, a few necessary updates per the Short Sale Disclosure and Agent Guidelines.: Page 2 Sect '6-C: Survey-You have Box 1 checked. You must, instead, oheck Box 2. The seUer'slender will not accept the conlract wffih Box 1 checked for Ihe following reason:
Q. 'IUhe seller allready has aneJ<iisting survey, and is agreeable
rih providing it, can't we just check Para 6-C-(i)?

A. No. On a short sale, 'Para 6-C-(2) must ALWAYS be ehecked. Para 6-C-(1) includes a default remedy that the sel'ler is unable to agree to. The end of the paragraph reads, "If Seller fails to furnish the existing surveyor Affida",it within the time prescribed, Buyer shall obtain a new survey at Seller's expense no later than 3 days p:rior to Closing Date." This dlause creates andbligation that Ihe se'llercannol fulfill because the short sale lender (seller's mortgage company) will NOT pay this expense under any circumstances, (continued ...)
Sample "Try Again" Email Sent to Buyer's Agent (Note: Some language here is based on Texas Resale Contract.)
165
and the seller is usually prohibited from contributing financially to the transaction. In other words, if the seller failed to tum in the Survey and/or Affidavit in the prescribed time period, s/he would be in breach. In the event of breach, the document would contain a promise that the seller cannot fulfill. Having explained this, we also understand that para 6-C-(2) creates an obligation for the buyer. It must be understood that the short sale lender sees the survey as a 'buyer' expense, since it is a document that is required by the buyer's lender. As a professional courtesy, The Knolly Team will work diligently to obtain an existing survey from the seller and will provide it to the buyer, but makes no warranties or claims as to its accuracy or validity. The survey provided will NOT be accompanied by an Affidavit. I have attached a copy of the survey which is attached to the MLS listing. Page 2 Sect 6-E-(2) Property HOA-You have checked that the property is NOT subject to mandatory membership, but it does have a mandatory membership. Special Provisions-There are no problems with the provisions (seller's responsibility) you have listed. In addition to these, we need the following per the Guidelines and per the requirements of the seller's lender: 'Property is being sold AS IS.' 'The contract of sale is conditional upon final approval of Seller's lender and/or HUD.' And we recommend the following be added, to ensure the buyer knows when the "option" period begins: 'Option Period will begin once the contract of sale is 'approved' by the Seller's lender and/or HUD.' (continued ...)
166
Once we get these updates back, we will have the seller execute the offer and forward it along with their short sale package to the seller's lender to begin the review process, Note that we have changed the listing to "PB," and will only take back up offers until your buyer contract is approved or countered, If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks!
Knolly
On the Knolly Team, we attempt to respond to offers within 24 hours and email the buyer's ."oent a notice of any necessary chilllges, We know that if the buyer's agent does not make the <:hanges now, they will have to make them later-when the lender discovers the errors, Lenders ",;n typically allow themselves a minimum of 1(l business days to review and respond to a short sale package and an offer, on<:e the file has been assigned to a loss mitigator. Some lenders take up to 3{) days! If they kick back the buyer contract and it's resubmitted for a second review, they will again take, at minimum, 10 business days to review and respond. Now you've lost 4 or more weeks in this cycle! When lenders receive a short sale package and an offer that have been prepared according to our strict 7 Day Systems guidelines, they know they have the real deal on their hands. They know they won't be able to shove this package off to the "needs revision" pile!
Review for an Acceptable Price Offer

When we receive offers on our short sale properties, we are looking for an offer price very near to the CMA or list price. The lenders are not our clients, but we have come to anticipate how they will react to certain offers. We know they are looking for reasonable offers.
167
I recommend you advise your clients not to countersign low-ball offers. This is the script I use with a buyer's agent who submits a low-ball offer on a short sale property:
Knolly: "This offer is so low-based on our market research on the property's value-that we do not believe the bank will accept this offer. We will go ahead and submit this as an offer [i.e., an unexecuted contract], but we will continue to market the listi ng for a better offer. If we receive a more reasonable and acceptable offer, we will submit that forward as an executed contract."
This strategy is another time-saver for us. If we submit a low offer as an executed purchase contract, we will set ourselves up for more complicated negotiations, as the bank will counter to try to get a price that is more in line with their BPO. Some investor buyers will intentionally submit very low offers, and they are not surprised or concerned about the strategy to send forward their offer unexecuted. You might wonder if it is a waste of time to send the lender an unexecuted offer. As we discussed earlier, the lender wants the buyer to "tip their hand first." They want to see what kinds of offers are possible before they spend time working the short sale package. We have learned through experience that lenders will go ahead and start working a file (i.e., reviewing the proposal package) with just an offer. They will move forward and order their BPO to assess the value of the property, and they'll reach a determination about what they will take as a settlement for the short sale. The lender will ask for an executed contract when they are ready to approve the file. Meanwhile, the unexecuted offer allows us to continue marketing the property for a more acceptable offer.
168
What about Multiple Offers?

It is not uncommon to receive multiple offers on your short sale listing. There are three things I want you to remember about taking multiple offers:
1.
2. 3.
Establish a policy on multiple offers and publish it. Submit only one offer or contract at a time. N ever take multiple contracts without appropriate backup addendums.
Your Policy
Be prepared for how you will handle multiple offers. If you do not establish a firm policy and communicate it, you will set yourself up for a lot of grief and unnecessary conversations with frustrated buyer's agents. I have defined my policy and published it in my Short Sale DisciosW'e and Agent Guidelines document. Let's look at that policy ",,"2in: III Multiple Offers: We only work with the bank on one offer or contract at a time. In the event that we receive multiple offers on this property, we will not counter for your best and Enal offer. Our policy is to select and submit the best offer, so bear this in mind when submitting your offer.
One-at-a-Time
You see, my strategy is to get the lender working on only one offer at a time. This means that even if the lender is working on an unexecuted offer and my office receives a better offer, we will wait until the lender has processed the package on their desk. I find that it is most effective to allow the lender to do their job without confusing them with two or more offers.
169
Multiple Contracts
Now, what you need to avoid at all costs is multiple executed contracts-a very different situation than multiple offers. Some agents just getting into the short sale business make the mistake of assuming that short sales follow a different set of rules regarding the legal contracting process. I recently consulted with an agent who made the mistake of sending two buyer contracts forward-the second contract offered $50,000 more for the property. When the lender saw the higher one, of course they want to take it, but they were legally bound to continue working the current executed contract to completion. So, the lender countered the first contract and raised them $50,000. When the prospective buyers were unable to pay this higher sales price, the lender rejected the contract and began working the second-more appealingcontract. This messy and time-consuming situation could have been avoided if the agent had submitted the first offer as an unexecuted contract. As in traditional real estate, once your have an executed contract, you may take backup offers, with the appropriate addendums and so forth. Again, just remember that traditional real estate rules regarding offers and contracts apply to short sale transactions. Be sure to utilize your local and state :MLS protocols when handling multiple contracts.
Submitting a New Offer after a Buyer Walks

I have consulted with many listing agents who have gotten themselves into a jam with the lender because they were not certain what to do when the buyer of their short sale listing walks out on the deal. My advice is to allow the lender to continue to process the package that they have through to approval. Then once you receive word that the short sale has been approved, you simply thank the lender for the approval and let them know that they will need to change out the names of the buyer on the contract because a different buyer will actually be purchasing the property. Also, if any financial terms have changed, you
170
will need to submit a revised HUD-l statement for approval, since the net proceeds may be different.
The mistake that you want to avoid is telling the lender that you have lost the buyer midstream. The lender will halt the process and wait for you to resubmit with new buyer information. In most cases, they will close the file. To re-start or re-open the file could cause a delay of 30 to 60 days or more! Again, simply allow the lender to process and approve the seller's information and the short sale request using the buyer information that they originally received. If this buyer does not follow through on the transaction, that's okay. Simply inform the lender that different buyer information will be used for the final purchase documentation. As long as the purchase offer is the same as or better than what you had originally submitted, the lender will move forward with the file.

171
Preparing the Final Short Sale Documents

We began the process of collecting the required short sale documentation back on Day 3 of 7 Dqys to Success with Shori Sales. At this point, you are ready to prepare the final documents and fax the entire package to the lender. When you submit the short sale package, it is imperative that you include all required documentation at that time. Leaving documents out or having pages out of order will delay the processing of your file.
The Checklist
A complete short sale documentation package must contain the following items:
o o
o o o o
D D D
Hardship Letter Listing Agreement Letter of Authorization Financial Statement Recent Bank Statement Recent Paycheck Stub(s) Fully Executed Purchase Contract on the Property Buyer's Pre-Approval Letter from theit Lender
HUD-l Settlement Statement (also called HUD-l

Estimated Net Sheet)
Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) (optional)
Additional Documents for VA Loans:
o o o
Additional Documents for FHA Loans: The most recent two years' tax return Application to Participate HUD FORM 90036
Remember, if your client has two mortgage 'liens on their property and both are found to be short, you will need to prepare and send a short sate package to each lien holder. ilf the first lien is not short, you will not need to send a package to this Uen holder. If, by chance, both liens are held by the same tender and both Hens are short, you only need to submit one package to this lender. Just make sure to put both lien numbers on the package documentation.
Ii! Fully Executed Purchase Contract

on the PrQperty
We've already discussed the steps you need to take to review a buyer's offer and to detennine whether to send the offer to the lender in an executed or unexecuted state. If the lender begins work on the short sale package with just an unexecuted offer in place, they will contact you for a final executed contract before they grant approval for the short sale. Once you are ready to submit a fully executed buyer contract to the lender, you will send the offer to your seller client for their signature. Then, you will send this signed document to the title company or attorney to be receipted. Next, you will forward the receipted copy back
173
to the buyer's agent. Then, you will include a copy of this fully executed buyer contract with the other documents of your complete short sale package.
o Buyer's Pre-Approval Letter from

Their Lender
Lenders require documentation to demonstrate that the buyer will receive the necessary funding from their lender/third party. They will not proceed with the process without knowing whether this buyer is ready, willing, and able to complete the transaction. Even if the buyer makes a cash offer, the seller's lender will still want to see a document that shows proof that funds are available. Note that you will still need to submit a buyer'S pre-approval letter even if you ate only sending the buyer's offer up as an unexecuted offer (versus an executed contract).
o HUD-1 Settlement Statement

Once you have a buyer offer on your short sale property, you can formally request an estimated HUD-l Settlement Statement (also called a HUD-l Estimated Net Sheet) from your title company or attorney. In our system, we simply send an email to the settlement agent to make this request. Our email includes the key information for the HUD-l form and a copy of the buyer contract.

Sample email requesting HUD-l Settlement Statement (Two Liens) Note that in the sample emails shown here, I have added a ''PreForeclosure Fee" and a ''Processing Fee." We'll discuss these fees further in Day 7 when you learn strategies for supplementing your commission.
176
Even though the title company or attorney has researched the title and you have obtained a purchase offer with purchase details, the HUD-l statement that you request will still be an "estimate" because it will not yet show the buyer's side of the transaction. The buyer has not yet received the specifics of their loan and so forth. The reason that the lender wants an estimate at this point, however, is so that they can see the net proceeds they will receive from this sale. The title company that I use processes approximately 5 to 7 HUD-l requests for us each week. They guarantee to have the HUD-l back to us within 24 hours, but oftentimes they return it the same day. For your short sale business, make sure that you work with a title company or attorney who can process your HUD-I requests quickly and accurately.
Who Should Prepare the HUO-1 Statement?

You certainly have the option to prepare the HUD-l Settlement Statement yourself, and you may choose to use some of the software or online tools that are being marketed for this purpose. (Remember to check with your broker and your MLS guidelines!)
In our system, we al.ways prefer to work with an experienced title
company for this step in the process. ] have learned from e]"-pe11ence that it pays to have a knowledgeable settlement agent run the title search and identifY all outstanding unpaid taxes, additional liens, and so forth tied to the short sale property. The worst thing to have h.appen is to submit an HUD-I to the lender, only to find out later that the numbers are all wrong because there was an outstanding lien (e.g., delinquent HOA charges) not accounted for in the settlement.

As I stated, I prefer to work with a title company rather than preparing the HUD-l statement on my own. Furthermore, I prefer to work with knowledgeable and capable settlement agents. To help everyone get educated and on the same page, I have developed a training document that explains how to draw up HUD-l Settlement Statements in the manner that will be necessary for short sale processing.

Prepare a Coversheet for the Short Sale Package

As part of ow: system, we send each short sale package with a coversheet that lists the items included within the package. This coversheet helps the lender easily see what documents we are submitting, and it also serves as a final preparation checklist for us. We have found that this simple coversheet helps to speed the review process with the lender and illustrates to them that we are organized and knowledgeable about their requirements. The des>gn of yow: coversneet should be intentional. If you don't already have one, develop a logo for yow: business. Create a design that will help set your documents apart visually from the many others on a loss mitigator's desk. A memorable logo ",'ill payoff over time.
Start marketing yourself as a "Short Sale a: Loss Mitigation SpedaUst." Put this descriptive title on your fax ooversheets, your business cards, your email signature block, and other malMketing materiails. This gets the attention of lenders, seUers, and buyers al1d helps them feel more conftdel1tthat you know what you are doing within this unique area of rea!l estate.

Short Sale Coversheet (for package with executed contract)
182
Note that our fax coversheet design also clearly identifies the package as an "**Urgent Short Sale Request**." In the current foreclosure crisis, mortgage lenders are processing an unprecedented number of loan modifications, short sales, and foreclosures. If you don't take care to send your short sale package to the correct person and clearly identifY your documentation, you're sunk. Depending on the documentation I am sending, I reference the package as a "Short Sale Request and Executed Contract" or a "Short Sale Request and Offer."
Organize the Documents

ill
Organize the documents in the package according to the list of items on your coversheet. :Make sure you have me loan number at the top of every page of the package. The easiest way to do this? Create a bibnk docmnent with your client's loan number printed in the very top margin. Then run the pages of your short sale p"ckage through your printer to print the loan number at the top of every page. jLook on your 7 Dqys to S uceers with Short Safes Toolkit CD for a document with a sample page header prepailJed for this task.]

Fax the Package

Once you are confident that your package is complete, simply fax the entire package to the lender's loss mitigation department.

If the lendet you need is not on your 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales Toolkit CD, you may obtain the telephone and fax numbers of the lender's loss mitigation department by calling the lender's customer service number and requesting them. To find the lender's customer service number, refer to the seller's mortgage statement or search for the lender online. It is certainly frustrating that facsimile (fax) is still the lender's preferred method for receiving these lengthy packages. Digital upload would make more sense, but that's not the standard at the present!

Don't fax your package to the wrong depru:tment! Make sure you are using the fax number for the Loss Mitigation Depru:tment of your seller's lender. Don't overload your fax machine. Some fax machines cannot handle documents of this length. You may need to "babysit" your machine and feed it individual pages. Or you may need to upgrade your machine. Don't fax your package in batches as you recelve the documents from your seller or the title company. Wait until you have a complete set of documen.ts, and fax the en.tire package at one time.

The Mitigation Process

Once you have submitted your short sale proposal package to your seller's lender, you cannot rest on your laurels. The next steps in the process will require the negotiating skills, patience, and tenacity that we spoke of on "Day 1: Preparing for Success with Short Sales." We'll look at what happens to your short sale file from the moment it's submitted to the moment it's approved-and yes, we mean "approved," because we're not going to have a file "declined"!

An appraisal or BPO is ordered

Note: As you are learning the techniques in this chapter, t=ember that if your client has two mortgage loans that are both found short, you will need to follow the same set of activities for both lenders.

Throughout this chapter, we will remind you of the importance of follow-up and the importance of a call schedule. Timeblocking is critical.

The Setup
Lender Receives and Sets Up File
The first step in the loss mitigation process is for the lender to receive the faxed file and begin to set it up for processing. This is a preparation step and is typically handled by a very small group of administrative representatives in the lender's loss mitigation department. Even in the largest banks, Loss Mitigation will be a small department, and within it, an even smaller group will handle the file setup process-possibly 2 to 6 people. For example, I recall that when I was working short sales back in 2005, Wells Fargo had just one lady responsible for setting up all short sale files-that is, all short sale files for all of Wells Fargo! Ca:n you imaz,oine? She was the gatekeeper, and I got to know her very well! The shift in the housing market has likely made many of the larger banks inc~ease their staff in these departments, but it is still a very specLalized activity for banks. Just remember that when you submit your Shollt s.ale package, you will be sending it to a very small number of people...An~ over time, they will start recognizing YOUR package, and you will sw.: devceloping a relationship with these key individuals. As we mentioned on Day 5, most banks require that you fax all documentation to their office, but a few banks will receive short sale p,;:kages by mail. Many, many banks are moving to an electronic fax '(ef,",,) system that will allow them to receive your faxed documents ms PDF files attached to an email. This most surely is a times aver on their end. Regardless of the technology used, it will typically take the setup agent up to 7 days to enter the documents into their system and prepare the short sale file for processing. This setup agent's job is to perform a compliance check on your package to determine if it meets the lender's basic format and criteria.
195
After you fax the short sale package to your client's lender, wait 4 to 7 days before placing your initial call to the loss mitigation department. This will allow them time to set up the file. The minimum time the bank requires for setup is 72 hours, but I find that if there is no critical urgency (i.e., imminent foreclosure), it is fine to wait up to a week.
Lender Performs Initial Review of Finandals and Hardship Letter

The lender's setup agent will review your client's financial documentation and hardship letter to make sure that the short sale proposal meets the very basic criteria for the program. For example, if the fInancial statement indicates that the seller has enough monthly income to cover their expenses, the short sale claim will be denied, or if the hardship letter does not indicate a legitimate hardship, the claim will be denied. If both the financial statement and the hardship letter look good, the setup agent will move to the next step.
Lender Reviews Package Contents

The setup agent's next step will be to review the short sale package for complete contents. Are any required documents missing? Is some key number or bit of infortnation missing from the package? Is the loan number indicated on each page? Are the documents (or pages) out of order enough to suggest an incomplete package? If the setup agent determines that the ille is incomplete, they will set it aside--<Uld they will not tell you! There will be no courtesy phone call to you. I've even had a setup agent return a package by mail to the seller
196
-who is typically avoiding all mail from their lender. (That could have cost us quite a bit of time in the process!) To the setup agent, an incomplete file indicates a waste of time, and they will move on to other assignments. If you don't call their office for a month, let's say, they will let the file die. It is essential for you to proactively investigate the status of your file.
Plan to call the loss mitigation department 2 times per wee,k (i.e., every 2 to 3 days) to inquire about the status of the file. There is a delicate balance between catling too often and not enough. This is the call frequency we have found to be effective in our system. Occasionally, the setup agent wiU teU you when to caU back for an update. 'It is courteous to ask them when they would like for you to caU back. If the answer is vague, faU back on 2 times per week.
The Five Key Questions You Must Ask

Once you begin calling the lender's loss mitigation department, your objective is to ask key questions to establish the status of the file.
The questions you ask of the loss mitigation department's setup agent are critical! On your initial phone call, begin to ask the 5 key questions that will inform you of the status of the file.
In my career as a short sale specialist, I have successfully worked more than 450 short sales. I have trained my team to follow my system, ask
197
these key questions, and commit themselves to relentless follow-up. This system has been highly effective for us and it will be for you as well.
1. "Will you verify that you received the file?"

First and foremost, you need to determine if they received your package. The fax transmission could have gone to the wrong department, been misplaced, or gotten lost in cyberspace! Or, your package may simply be in a stack of other transmissions that still need to be scanned or uploaded into the loss mitigation department's computer system.
2. "Is the file complete?" and "Is anything missing?"

Next, determine if they consider the package to be complete. "Are any documents missing? Is there anything else you need from me or from my client?" Again, if a required document or piece of information is missing from the shott sale package, the entire file will be set aside, rejected. While it may seem appropriate and courteous for the setup agent to notify you of the problems with the file, they will not. It will be your responsibility to ask proactively because they will not volunteer any information. If you don't ask, they won't tell! The setup agent will also be checking to ensure that the package is in order. This is why it will be critical for you to include your client's loan number on each page of the package. Consider how many short sale proposals some of these lenders are receiving. If you do not identify your faxed pages and they accidentally get shuffled into another client's file, you're sunk!
198
.------Tiip-------,
Above all else, you need to remain patient with the bank. Be nice, courteous, and respectful. You will gain nothing by being rude, abrasive, or discourteous.
3. "Has a foreclosure date been set for this property?"

When you speak to the loss mitigation setup agent, be sure to ask if a foreclosure date has been set for your client's property. Don't assume that you aiready know the answer, and don't assume that your client does either. Your client may not be paying attention to their mail or they may have miscalculated how many mortgage payments they have already missed. You must find out if your client's property has been placed on a foreclosure rimeline. This -will tell you how much time you have to process the short sale-in other words, how urgent the situation is. For example, I have called a loss mitigation department and asked this simple ,question only to learn that the property has a foreclosure date just two weeks out! Obviously, I immediately requested a postponement, but it was not a fun exercisel As an aside, you should know that you can request a postponement right up to the day before foreclosure. Lenders may not be eager to make this adjustment for you, but it can be done. The postponement (new date) can be keyed into the computer up to the day before the foreclosure-if you can demonstrate that the seller is working with you (a short sale specialist) and the property is being actively marketed for buyers. Some lenders -will only postpone the foreclosure date if a complete short sale package with a conttact or offer has been submitted.
199
Why are you calling the setup agent as often as 2 times per week? If your file must be re-sent, if you must provide some missing information, or if a foreclosure date has been set, you need to know this immediately! You need as much time as possible to react. In addition, you should be prepared to keep on top of this calling schedule. Your short sale file could get tied up in the setup step for 30 or even 60 days-even if the file is complete and ready to process.
4. "Has the file been assigned to a loss mitigator?"

The next big question to ask will determine how fax yow: file has gotten within the department. If the lender has assigned a loss mitigator to the file, you know you have gotten past the gatekeeper and passed through to the next step! If possible, ask for the loss mitigator's contact information: Name Direct phone number Direct fax number Email addres s
If a loss mitigator (or "negotiator," as they axe sometimes called) has not yet been assigned, be patient and make certain you have asked yow: other four questions. Tell the setup agent that you understand that the file has not yet been assigned, and that you will call again to inquire about the status of the file. At some point, the setup agent may know which loss mitigator is likely to receive yow: assignment. Try to get this name if possible.

When you call a loss mitigation/short sale department, be prepared to wait on hold for a long time. They're swamped. When I'm making my weekly calls, I typically call from a separate phone. While I am on hold with the lender, I am conducting my regular daily business on my other phone. When the lender comes to the phone, I quickly hang up on the other call (sometimes mid-sentence!) and give the lender my undivided attention'!
5_ "WiI'l you please update the notes in the file to show that I caned ... "
At the end of each call, ask the setup agent to update the notes in their system to reflect the key points of your conversation and the action items you have discussed. If you don't ask them to do this, they often won't, and you need cO develop a history in the lender's notes. Since most calls are typically monitored or recorded, they will add the notes if you ask them to.

LM Dept: "Hello, this is Saxon Mortgage, Maria speaking. Can I have your loan number please?" Knolly: "Hi, Maria, this is Knolly Williams. I'm the real estate listing agent on this property, and I have authorization to discuss the account. The loan number is 2348879874." LM Dept: "Okay. I do see here that you have authorization on file. Can you verify the property address for me?" Knolly: "Yes, the property address is 211 South Main Street, Austin, Texas 78747." LM Dept: "Can you verify the name on the account?" Knolly: "Yes, the names on the account are James Sandifer and Carol Sandifer." LM Dept: "Can you verify the last 4 digits of the primary borrower's social security number please?" Knolly: "Yes, it's 3868." LM Dept: "Okay. Thank you. What can I do for you?"
202
KnoLly: "Thanks, Maria. I submitted a short sale package on this file last week-on September 21st. Can you please verify that you received the short sale package?" LM Dept: "Okay. Hold on ... I'm looking at the notes here ... hmmm ... Yes, I do see that we received the package. It was updated into our system on September 23rd."
[If they have not received the package, see variation below.]
KnoUy: "Thanks Maria. 1submitted a complete package. Can you verify that you have everything you need?" LM Dept: "Uh ... hold on ... let me see here." KnoUy: "No problem, take your time." LM Dept: "Okay, thanks, KnoHy. Yes, I do see that we have a complete file here. We don't need anything else at this time."
l[If mcomplete, see vwtion below.]
KnoUy: "15 there a foreclosure date set on this property?" LM Dept: "Uhh, wait a minute here ... No, there is no foreclosure date set." KnoLly: "Fantastic, Maria."
[If a date has been set, see variation below.]
KnoLly: "So, has the file already been assigned to a loss mitigator?" LM Dept: "No, it hasn't been assigned yet."
203
[If mitigator has been assigned, see variation below.]
Knolly: "Okay. Can you tell me, Maria, when it will be assigned?" LM Dept: "No, I don't know when that will happen." Knolly: "Okay, I understand. So, it sounds like you have a complete file, but you don't know when it will be assigned to a negotiator, right?"
LM Dept: "Well, yes. That's what I show as of
right now." Knolly: "Okay, great. Do you happen to know which negotiator it will be assigned to? I've recently worked with Charles Wells and Sandy Newton on files."
LM Dept: "No, I don't know who will be getting this one."
Knolly: "Okay, I understand, Maria. If you can, I'd like to see if Charles can get this one, if possible. [laugh] When should I call back for an update?"
LM Dept: "I would say to try back this time next week."
Knolly: "Great. So, I need to call back on October 5th. Now, will it be assigned to a negotiator by then?"
LM Dept: "Well, I really don't know for sure."
Knolly: "Okay, Maria, thanks again. One more favor ... Can you please update the notes in the file to show that I called inquiring about the status of the file today, and that you indicated that the file is complete, and that you asked me to call back on October 5th?"
204
LM Dept: "Uh ... Well, sure. I can update the notes on the file." Knolly: "Thanks so much for doing that, Maria. I will be updating my notes as well." LM Dept: "Okay then. Is there anything else I can help you with?" KnoUy: "That's it, Maria! You've been very helpful. "

Sometimes you will be working more than one unassigned file with the same lender. In this case, when you call the loss mitigation department, you can ask about multiple files while you are on the call. This will cut down the overall time you are spending on hold!

A Loss Mitigator Is Assigned

If everything looks good with your client's short sale file, the file will be assigned to a loss mitigator. Be prepared, however, it could take 30 days to 60 days for the file to get assigned. These time frames are a factor of our curtent market. Before this market shift, I had never heard of a file
taking 30 to 60 days to get assigned. Times have changed. Banks are

overwhelmed with pre-foreclosure and foreclosure files. Don't forget that patience and diligence win out.
The Short Sal,e Process
You are
her~!
Moving to a loss mitigator means the setup team has performed their preliminary review, and your file seems acceptable or "do-able." They reviewed for blatant disqualifications, and your file passed the test.
211
How Files Are Assigned

The lender assigns short sale files to individual loss mitigators according to what appears to be a round-robin system. You may request that a file go to a specific mitigator, but the lender may not consider your request. It depends on the lender. I have always wondered, as well, if I am drawing unwanted attention to a particular loss mitigator if I regularly request them by name. Will others wonder why I want to work with one person and not others on staff? Occasionally, a short sale file will go to a supervisor before it goes to the individual loss mitigator. This step really does not affect the processother than adding a review and a signoff for quality control.
Countdown to the Loss Mitigator's Review

The loss mitigator has typically 7 to 10 days to review the file once they receive it as an assignment. They will likely devote approximately 20 minutes to their initial review. Mitigators (also often called "negotiators") will review files in an order based on the file's priority level. During the setup agent's review of the file, they will assign a priority level based on the foreclosure date set for the property. If, for example, the property's foreclosure date is set for within 30 days of the time the file is entered into the system, it is considered urgent and the setup agent will escalate it as such. As you will recall, in on the Knolly Team, we draw attention on our fax coversheet to the urgency of the short sale package. Because we have the authority to call on the seller's behalf, we typically call the lender to ask about the foreclosure date. So, if we know in advance that the file requires expedited processing, we will draw attention to this on our coversheet.
212
Package Review
Now, it is time for the assigned loss mitigator to perform their review of the short sale file. They will review the package details to determine whether the package is "approvable" prior to ordering an appraisal or BPO. Here is how the loss mitigator reviews the file:
Hardship Letter-The loss mitigator will review the hardship letter to verify that there is a legitimate hardship. It should be noted that many hardships may appear to be self-inflicted (i.e., simply a result of the homeowner's own choices). Perhaps the homeowner bought more home than they could afford, they were fired from a job (due to incompetence), they switched careers resulting in lower income, they relocated for personal reasons, they started a risky bu.sinessendeavor, and so forth. If your short sale client elaborates in too much detail on the hardship letter, the loss mitigator may find cause to reject the file. (Review our discussion on Day 3.)
..
Listing Agreement-The loss mitigator will review the listing agreement to examine when the home was listed and how long it has been on the market. They will also use the agreement to detennine the current list price. They will check to make swce that the listing agreement is fully executed.
Letter of Authorization-The loss mitigator will review the file to make sure a current Letter of Authorization is on file. Many lenders require the authorization to be dated within the past 90 days, or else they may require an updated letter with a more recent signed date.
..
..
Financial Statement-The loss mitigator will review the financial statement to make sure that the client is bringing in less income than they have in expenses. (Review discussion of this on Day 3.) They will also verify the
213
stated income by reviewing the seller's bank statements and pay stubs. Recent Bank Statements-The loss mitigator will review the most recent bank statements to compare them to the financial statement. If a person's deposits are more than their stated income, this will be questioned, unless the homeowner recently experienced a reduction in income (i.e., job loss, pay cut, etc.). The loss mitigator will also be looking for any large recent withdrawals or surplus funds in the account. For example, if your client recently withdrew $8,000 from their bank account, this will be questioned. Also, if the statements show a large surplus of funds (enough to make at least two or more mortgage payments), this will also be questioned. Recent Pay Stub(s)-The loss mitigator will review the seller's most recent pay stubs and compare them to the financial statement and bank statements to verify the homeowner's income. Fully Executed Purchase Contract on the PropertyThe loss mitigator will review the purchase contract and notate any changes to the contract that they may require. If an unexecuted offer has been submitted, the lender may, at this time, require that the offer be executed before they move forward. If they move forward with the unexecuted offer, they will require an executed contract prior to issuing an approval on the file. Buyer'S Pre-Approval Letter from their Lender-The loss mitigator will make sure that this important document is in the file. HUD-l Settlement Statement-The loss mitigator will review the HUD-l to see if there are any items that they will not pay. They may not tell you what expenses they will not pay until after the BPO or appraisal has been ordered.
214
Seller's Credit Report-The loss mitigator will occasionally order a copy of the seller's credit report. They will use the information on this report to detertnine if the seller is telling the truth about their situation. If they can see that the seller is up-to-date with all of their payments except the house, they may determine that the seller is simply trying to sell their home and get the bank to pick up the tab for the deficit. On the other hand, the seller's credit report will typically present a telling tale of woe. Many accounts will be in artears and the lender will be able to see that the seller is truly in trouble.
Once the loss mitigator has completely reviewed the seller's file and cross-checked the various documents against each other, they will determine if they believe the hardship story that is being told. 1 they don't quite believe the story, they may decide to do some further investigation. This can lead them to attempt to contact you for some additional information or they may try rocontact your client directly. Be aware of one particular strategy used by some loss mitigators. On occasion, a loss mitigator might contact your seller client directly to obtain more information, verify information, ask questions, or discuss the possibility of a loan modification as an option. I do not recommend that your seller (the homeowner) correspond directly with the lender at all. Here's why. Inadvertently, your client could rWsstate some information or give an inaccurate impression of the situation and put the short sale proposal at risk. For example, I once had a client who received a call from their lender's loss mitigation department. They inquired about my client's situation, and they asked if he was currently living in the property. (Mind you, I had already told them that my client was indeed living in the property.) My client answered, "No." Because the loan was an FHA loan, this information immediately disqualified the seller from the short sale program. When I asked my client why the short sale suddenly went from "Approved" to "Declined," he told me about the call he had received. I
215
asked Illm, "Why did you tell them you had moved out?" He said, "Well, I'm working in Houston every week." I asked Illm, "But where are all of your things? Where do you still receive mail? Where do you live when you come back to Austin at the end of each week?" He answered, "In my house." "So, Carl," I said, ''You're commuting to work. You haven't moved out of your home. There's a big difference." The sad conclusion to this client's story? He had ruined the short sale proposal, so he had to sell his home in a traditional sale and bring $8,000 to the closing table. This was a terrible lesson learned. I recommend that my clients use the following script (or something like it) when they receive a call from their lender:
(SCriP "I am.ment~ll~ and emotiona~ly incapab.le of . ~..., .. , handhng thlS nght now. I am m a place m my llfe
. where I can't handle this. I have hired Knolly Williams and his team to be my representatives. Please contact Knolly Williams."
I!0
Another solution would be to host a three-way call with the seller client and the lender. Once the call starts, I announce, "The seller has hired me to represent them." And I will jump in and rephrase questions if I believe my client may be confused or misled by the lender's questions. Ofrentimes when the loss mitigator contacts the client directly, they will ask the seller what their hardship is, and they will ask the seller to verify their income and expenses. Why would the loss mitigator ask the seller these questions when they already have the answers? The loss mitigator may be digging for any information that they can use to decline the file or they simply may want to verify that the seller is telling the truth. The seller should always stick to the hardship letter and the financial statement. If the seller ever speaks directly to the loss mitigator, they simply should recite the information right off of the hardship letter and the financial statement. The seller should not elaborate and delve too
216
deeply into a conversation with the lender without having you on the call with them. As previously stated, the lender may try to entice your client to do a loan modification. You should have already covered this (Day 2) with your client. So, if the issue of a loan modification comes up, your client simply needs to reiterate what is on the hardship letter-no more and no less. They simply need to tell the lender that they have "no alternative but to seek a short sale."
Your Mindset Is Key!

When you interact with. loss mitigators and other members of the lender's staff, you must adopt the right mindset ",bout the short sale request and the approval process. II II III Put yourself in their shoes! Act like a parmer, not an adversary! Remember: They hold the cards!
You are going to need to befriend the loss mitigator. Approach them with the right mindset and start building a relationship. The worst thing that you can do is make them feel that you do not respect how hard they .are working on your file and other files at the same time. These are people with feelings. You want them to know you care and you respect the work they are doing.

So, you should know that going into it, many loss mitigators are going to be reserved, defensive, or even adversarial towards you. If your opening line is, "Have you even looked at my file?" the loss mitigator is going to immediately put on their fighting gloves. Now you have upset them, and guess whose file is going to the bottom of the stack! In addition to dealing with hostile short sale agents, loss mitigators often have to deal with inexperienced and uninformed agents. I have had some mitigators share with me that they feel like they are constantly educating agents. It takes time and energy to explain the steps of the process over and over again to new and untrained agents. This is one reason why many loss mitigators don't answer their phones! On the 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales Toolkit CD, we have provided you with a list of numerous bank contacts. As you begin processing short sales, you will add the contact information of your favorite loss
218
mitigators to this list. As time goes by, you will learn that you can sometimes go through the "side door" when you have a new short sale file. For example, you can easily contact a loss mitigator you recently worked with on a file and ask if you can fax the complete package directly to them and have them walk it over to the setup team. This can be very helpful when you have a short timeline and the foreclosure sale date is in the near future. This side-door strategy is particularly effective at smaller banks, but my team and I have even used this approach at the largest ones. By the same token, if a file is taking too long to get through the setup process, I sometimes contact a loss mitigator or supervisor I've worked with in the past and have them look into the situation.
As you are building rapport with the loss mitigator, you want them to understand that you-with your knowledge and expetience--are going to make their life much, much easier. Your goal is to let them know that you are different and that working with you will be a smooth and easy process. You want the loss mitigator to enjoy working your file and to work it as quickly and efficiently as possible. Building that relationship is key. In fact, just this one technique can save you wee'ks in the process! And, the more time you can save, the more money YOllcan maketaking more listings and closing more deals.
Before the file goes to a loss mitigator, you will want to call the department 2 times per week (every 2 to 3 days) to find out if the file has been assigned. Once it is assigned, however, you will want to back off your calling schedule to once per week. This schedule shows your eagerness, but also your respect for the hardworking loss mitigator and their efforts.
219
Sample Script: Initial Call to Loss Mitigator

As you will notice in the following sample scripts, it is important to reverify some of the information you received from the setup agent. The setup agent could have missed something in the flle that the loss mitigator has now found. For this reason, it is best practice to repeat some of the key questions asked earlier.

223
An praisal or BPO Is Ordered

In the next step in the process, the lender orders an appraisal or a Broker's Price Opinion (BPO) of the property to inform them of the property's current market value. This is the beginning of the lender's due diligence phase. The lender will use their own appraisal/BPO report to establish what the home is worth, so they can decide if the offer submitted is acceptable.

Some lenders will order a BPO and others will order an appraisal. As a rule of thumb, when lenders are processing a conventional loan, they will typically order a BPO, and when they are processing an FHA or VA loan, they are required to order a full appraisal. A BPO is more akin to a comparative market analysis (CMA), although it's a bit more expanded. A BPO will typically be 1 to 4 pages in length (including photos, etc.), while an appraisal can be 20 or more pages. The purpose of both documents is to arrive at a market value of the property.

Working with Appraisers or BPO Agents

Be the Point of Contact
When the lender orders an appraisal or BPO, they will typically ask you who the point of contact will be. In other words, "Who should the BPO agent or appraiser contact for access to the property?" You want to be the point of contact. This will ensw:e that the BPO agent or appraiser contacts you prior to physically going to the property to perform the valuation. As you noticed in the call scripts, it is important that you give the loss mitigator your contact information and let them know you are the point of contact for the appraiser or the agent doing the BPO.
225
Do Your Best to Ensure a Correct Appraisal

Appraisers and BPO agents may appraise the home incorrectly for one of the following reasons: The BPO agent may only do an exterior BPO. While the home may have good curb appeal, it may be a wreck on the inside, or it may be very dated. If the appraiser or agent does not take into account the interior condition of the home, the property valuation will be skewed. The appraiser or BPO agent may not be familiar with the area. A high valuation may be rendered simply due to the agent's lack of experience with the area, part of town, subdivision, or current market conditions affecting the
area.
The appraiser or BPO agent may be using the wrong comps. When there are several comparable properties to choose from, it is imperative that the appraiser or BPO agent select the right ones as comparables. For example, some subdivisions have sections that are valued higher than others, and this may be overlooked when the appraiser or agent pulls their comps. Or, an overvaluation may result if the report considers properties that took longer than 60 days to sell (as discussed in Day 3). In addition, the appraisal or BPO may be assessed using comparable properties that were completely remodeled, updated, or in far better resale condition than your listing. And, considering the fact that BPO agents typically make around $50 for doing a BPO, the faster they can get it done the better. Sometimes, they will delegate the task of performing BPOs to an agent with less experience.
12.6
The BPO agent may have the wrong ulterior motives. Most agents are honest, and I don't see this scenario happening very often. However, when a property
forecloses, it typically becomes a bank's REO (real estate owned) property. This means that if the property does go into foreclosure, the BPO agent or someone from their company or team has the potential of getting the property as an REO listing to sell on the bank's behalf. A BPO agent may use higher priced comps in order to prevent the short sale from getting approved so that they can get the foreclosure listing later. For these reasons it is imp=tive iliat you get your information into the hands of the BPO agent or appraiser before they go out and do their valuation! If they do not cont"ct you first, they will not be afforded the insight that your infolTIlation can bring, and you may find yourself with an overpriced approved short sale that no one will buy.
Share Your Analysis with the Appraiser or BPO Agent

When I am contacted by the appraiser (or BPO agent) who will be doing the appraisal, I 'will !lSU~y give them a politeearfuJ:! I ask the appraiser for their fax number or email address, and I send them the following: III The hardship letter My own comparative market analysis (CMA) The first page of the oontract, which shows the sale price A list of repairs needed and a repair estimate (optional)
This information helps them know what I am thinking-my starting position. And this lets them know iliat I am on top of my game, and I know how this property should be valued. My other objective is to get to know the appraiser/BPO agent-but stay at arm's length. I want them to be educated about how I arrived at my CMA numbers, but I do not want to appear that I am trying to coerce
127
them or tamper with the process. I want to stay close enough, however, to assist and to facilitate the process whenever possible.
Sample Script to Use with Appraiser or BPO Agent

,"=-~~4'
: BPO Agent: "Hello, Knolly, this is Pauleen with Homelite Realty. I've been asked to do a BPO for your listing over on Sagebrush." Knolly: "Hey, Pauleen. That sounds great!" BPO Agent: "Well, Knolly, I need to get into the property. Is it still on lockbox?" Knolly: "Yes, it's still on lockbox, and it's vacant. When are you going out to do the BPO?" BPO Agent: "Uh, I'll probably get out there sometime tomorrow afternoon or so." Knolly: "Great! When do you need to turn in the BPO?" BPO Agent: "They gave me five days to do it. I'll have it back there by Wednesday of next week." Knolly: "That sounds awesome, Pauleen. That property is a very interesting. My office has sold several properties in that subdivision. I need to send you a few pages of information about the property that you may find helpful. Can I fax that to you or do you prefer me to email it?" BPO Agent: "Oh, well, just email it to me. My email ispauleen@homeliteteam.com. " Knolly: "I sure will. What's your phone number, Pauleen?"

BPO Agent: "It's 512-977-9922."
Knolly: "Thanks again, Pauleen. I promise I won't call you since I know how busy you are. I'll just keep it here in the file, just in case."
BPO Agent: "No problem, Knolly!"
Knolly: "Okay, Pauleen! I appreciate you."

The Lender's Decision: Three Possible Outcomes

Once the property valuation is completed, the appraiser/BPO agent will tum the report in to the bank. The loss mitigator on the case will typically have 7 to 10 days to review the report and compare it to the purchase offer you have in your package. When they have reached a decision, it will be one of three possible outcomes: 1. 2. 3. Decline Counter and Negotiate Accept and Approve
Let me offer a word of clarification before we move forward. At this point in the process, the focus is on the buyer's offer and on the house value, as determined by the bank's BPO. The short sale proposal has, for the most part, been "approved" at this point. So, if the deal is declined or negotiated, it will be because the structure of the purchase is unacceptable or undoable in someway. If the offer is accepted, you can celebrate because this is the final approval you need to close this deal!
1. Decline
Let's first talk about Decline as an outcome, since this is the least likely scenario you will experience. A straight "decline" is rare. Typically, the file will be tossed back to you with a counteroffer.
Unacceptable Price
The lender may decline the short sale contract due to an unacceptable price. About 15% of the time, the lender will simply decline the deal and not present a counteroffer. Furthermore, they may not even let you know how the BPO came in-that is, they won't let you know what
230
value their agent or appraiser gave to the property. This is a tough situation. One of the larger lenders in the nation starting following this practice not long ago. Now, when they decline an offer based on price, they won't give you advice on how to counter. Typically, they just simply say, "Have your buyer submit a revised offer." When you inquire, they will not disclose to you the price that they want. They may, however, let you guess at their price requirements! In a couple of cases, I have felt like that I was playing the classic "High Low Clock Game" on the Price Is Right television show!
KnoUy: "WHit you accept an offer of $300,000 to $310,000?"
Loss Mit: "Not likely. "
Knolly: "Will you accept an offer of $310,000 to

$320,OOQ?"
Loss Mit: "il don't think so. "
Knotty: "WiU you accept an offer of $320,000 to $330,000?"
Loss Mit: "Probably so."

You will recall that I have a fondness for FHA and VA loans because they follow rules. For these loans, lenders will always order a fuJI appraisal (not a BPO), and they are required to give the homeowner (or you as their listing agent) a copy of the appraisal if you ask for it. FHA and VA lenders are looking for a minimum of 88% of the appraised value of the property. That's a rule. You can count on it. And they are required to tell you the minimum amount they will accept on an offer. (See the section is this chapter titled "The Approval Process for FHA Short Sales" for more information.)
231
Lenders SetvlC1ng conventional loans don't follow these same rules. They may be looking for 88% of the appraisal, or maybe 92% of the appraisal, or maybe 90%. It's a guessing game each time. And when a conventional lender gives you no insight into the results of their BFO, you are at an even further disadvantage. If the contract is declined and you know with certainty that the offer is priced right at market value, you will need to dispute the appraisal or BFO (see discussion below).
2. Counter and Negotiate

A straight Decline is rare and a straight Approval is rare. The more common practice is for lenders to negotiate the terms of the contract via counteroffers until both parties are in agreement.
BPO/Appraisalls Too High

If the lender makes a counteroffer based on an appraisal or BFO that is too high, you have a problem. Getting the right value on the property is absolutely critical. Many short sales die because the valuation comes in too high. In these cases, the lender is essentially asking for more than the home is worth. This could force you into a situation where you have an approved short sale, but no willing buyer. When this happens, you will need to write a formal letter of dispute, challenging the high appraisal or BFO.

F otmalletter of dispute
Keep in mind that the lender may counter even though they will accept less. This is old fashioned negotiating. If the buyer counters the lender's counter, take the new amount back to the lender. You may have to go back and forth until an agreement is reached.
.-
233
Note that if the lender counters with an amount that the buyer is still not willing or able to pay, and you can't get either side to budge, don't despair! You still have an approved short sale. Put the property back on the market, find an agreeable buyer, and get it closed!
Promissory Note Is Required

Some lenders will absolutely refuse to do a short sale without some kind of financial contribution from the seller. I recently had a transaction where the second lien was owed $32,000. This second lien holder refused to grant the short sale without my client agreeing to a promissory note of $9,600 (i.e., 30%). The terms of the note were to be five years (60 months) at 0% interest, for a monthly payment of roughly $160 per month. I explained to the lender that my client had no future income prospects and that he could not agree to the promissory note. This halted the sale, so we negotiated back and forth. Mter weeks of wrangling, the lender finally agreed to accept $1,600 (i.e., 5%) with monthly payments of $26.67 per month! The loss mitigator made it crystal clear that if the sellers did not agree to these final offer terms, they would foreclose on the home---period. Needless to say, the sellers agreed and we sold the home. It has been my experience that lenders will request a seller contribution---a nominal cash amount at closing or a promissory note-in about one out of every four deals, so be prepared for it. Here are options for you to pursue: Your fitst response is to just tell the truth-your client has no money and cannot agree to a promissory note. If that doesn't work, negotiate the note down. Negotiate the terms to the lowest amount you can (5% to 10% of the lien amount), paid over the longest term (5 years) with a 0% interest rate.
At times, your seller may not understand that the promissory note is the best option they have and the only way that the short sale will go through. Signing a promissory for a percentage of the lien amount (paid
234
over time) is certainly better rban facing foreclosure, wbich will result in long term damage to rbeir credit and may result in a judgment against rbem for rbe resulting deficiency balance. Your client should keep in mind rbat even if rbey agree to a 10% promissory note, for example, rbey will still be forgiven 90% of rbe note through rbe short sale settlement! That's really good. In cases where rbe lender requires a promissory note, rbe seller will not be able to sell rbe property wirbout it. It is imperative that rbe lender remove rbeir lien from rbe home in order for rbe seller to sell.

Sample Script: What You SHOULD Say to Your Client Regarding a Promissory Note
Here's a sample script for the kind of conversation I have with a client regarding a promissory note. This is the RIGHT way to approach the
Issue.
(SCriP~) Knolly: "Hi, Jo~n, I've got some really good news
,,~~
...
from the bank. Client: "Good! Let's have it!"
.-
Knolly: "Well, John, as you know, you owe about $40,000 on your second lien. The good news is the bank agreed to forgive 80% of it! So they're willing to wipe out $32,000." Client: "Okay." Knolly: "John, that's still exciting news because they are willing to forgive most of what you owe. But since I didn't think 80% was acceptable, I kept negotiating with them. In fact, it's taken me over a week, but I've finally gotten them to forgive 95%! That means they are forgiving $38,000 of the $40,000!" Client: "Well, that's more like it! Thanks, Knolly! So, who's going to pay the $2,000?" Knolly: "Well, John, your bank wants you to pay it. But hold on! I've got some good news about that too. I know you don't have that kind of money, so I did a lot more negotiating and the bank has agreed to let you pay it AFTER we close on the house. AND they'll give you 5 years to pay it at 0% interest. Gosh, John, that's a heck of a deal. That's only $34 per month to save you from foreclosure. "
236
Client: "Well, that sounds pretty good, Knolly! Thanks, man. I appreciate what you've done." Knolly: "You're welcome, John!" Client: "But, Knolly... What happens if I decide I don't want to do a promissory note?" Knolly: "Well, John, I've thought about that too. And the ball is in your court. But if you decide not to sell your home and dedde to let it go into foreclosure then you will have a foreclosure on your credit report for the next decade. That can really tank your credit. Did you know, John, that many employers now pull a copy of your credit report when you apply for a job, and many require you to disclosure if you've ever had a foreclosure?" Client: "Oh yeah? Hmmm." Knolty:"And John, if the lender comes after you legally and wins a judgment against you, you couLd be liable for the entire amount plus any resulting legal fees. If you decide to go the foreclosure route, you wiU definitely want to discuss this with al1 attorney to get you some good tegal advice on how your lender may pursue you after the foreclosure. " Client: "Yeah, I guess you're right." KnoUy: And, you know, John, your legal fees to an attorney could likely be higher than the amount of the promissory note! And the attorney won't give you 5 years to pay! My advice is to take what you can get and move on. Let's close on the home so you can get this nightmare behind you." Client: "You know what, Knolly? You're right. Let's do it!"

Day 6: Proces5ingthe Short Sale
239
HOA Dues Are in Arrears (or a Lien Exists)

It is not uncommon to have a client with a large past-due HOA bill. And as we have discussed, most lenders frown on paying delinquent HOA dues, so you will need to strongly negotiate for the lender to pay them. Or, you will have to work with the seller to find creative ways to try to remove this barrier to the short sale deal.
Final HUD-1 Does Not Match Preliminary

Lenders will request a final HUD-l Settlement Statement when they are ready to approve the file, but if the final HUD-l does not match the preliminary, estimated HUD-l, they may reject the deal. Also, if the HUD-l comes back showing net proceeds to the lender that are less than the amount previously estimated, then you will need to explain this to the lender in detail. Often a discrepancy is due to the file being approved many months after the original proposed closing date, which means you may have several months in additional tax proration, resulting in a lower net amount to the lender. We will discuss more about this in "Day 7: Closing the Transaction and Getting Paid." You must stay on top of the details of the HUD-l throughout the short sale process.
Have a knowledgeable settlement agent prepare the HUD-l for you. Scrutinize all line items. Be conservative in your tax proration. Check the close date on the documentation-as it will likely change.
240
IRS Tax Lien or Other Liens Exist

A short sale deal cannot go through if IRS tax liens or other liens exist against your client's property. As we discussed earlier (Day 4), it is imperative for you to run a tide search at the beginning of the process and review it thoroughly (or better yet, have an expert do so). This tide search will reveal all liens against the property. IRS tax liens (that include a lien against the property) can be removed, you just need to follow the request process.
PMI Company ~Is S'lowing Things Down

In the event that a loan has Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), the PMI company will have to review the short sale file after the lender has given it theli okay. PMI companies provide insurance on loans in the event of default-thereby minimizing the exposure and losses incurred by the lien holder. Because t!he PMI company will take the hit, they also have to sign off and give their '"pprova} of the transaction. Since the lender has already reviewed the file, this is mme of a formality, and the PMI company will almost always agree to move forward with the short sale, as they realize that this will mitigate their losses. In some cases, they may request additional information, and they may also slow down the processing of the file while they are reviewing it. IT the file is "stuck" with the PMI company, you can request to escalate the file to a supervisor at the PMI company, but you will rarely be able to speak clirecdy with someone at the PMI company.
Foreclosure Has Not Been Postponed

As part of your system, you should ask both the lender's setup team and the assigned loss mitigator about the property's foreclosure date. And you should check repeatedly for updates to this status.
241
Also remember that even if the foreclosure date has been postponed, it has not been stopped. In other words, the date is still on for some time in the future. Make sure you know the date and set a reminder on your calendat to readdress the issue as the date approaches.
First Lien Is Not Short

The proposed short sale deal could be rejected by the first lien holder because the first lien, in actuality, is not short. In other words, the debt on the first lien will be satisfied completely by the sale. This is an error on your part for not checking the payoff atnounts earlier. By this point in the process, you should be awate of the status of both loans, if your client has two mortgage loans. I consider this a rookie error, and yet I know that experienced short sale agents and teatns continue to make this mistake--patticularly as they start handling more and more short sale deals. It's easy to overlook in the details. If there is a second lien, you will immediately tum your attention and your negotiations to this lender. And you will continue to work the short sale with them-and with the funds that will remain after the first lien has been satisfied.
3. Accept and Approve

Lender Approval Letter
Once the bank is presented with an agreeable contract, they will issue an official approval letter. Congratulations ate in order! You have accomplished your objective. The seller can now sell the house. The bank will get their maximum return, and you will get paid. Now that's a win-win! The loss mitigator has a certain number of days-S days for an FHA loan and 5 to 10 days for a VA or conventional loan-to prepate the approval letter. To a standatd template, they will add the specific criteria for your short sale. The letter will typically contain the contract sales
242
price, the minimum net proceeds payable to the lender, and the terms of the short sale agreement. Most banks will forgive all or a large portion remaining balance on the mortgage loan. Others will require that the homeowner remain liable for the amount forgiven, and some will even want a promissory note for a portion of the debt forgiven, as we have discussed.

Sample Short Sale Approval Letter (page 2)
Approved HUO-1 Settlement Statement

For conventional, FHA, and VA loans, there is one last step in the approval process: the lender must approve the final HUD-l statement. As we have mentioned, the preliminary HUD-l may be different from the final statement. Things can happen--other liens show up, taxes must be adjusted, closing dates change, and so forth. Typically, the lender will word the approval letter so that it says you must close by a
244
certain date. Lenders generally allow 21 to 30 days from the date of approval for the closing. Some allow 45 to 60 days.
In addition, with this final check, the lender wants to make sure other
line items have not been slipped in or changed-affecting their net proceeds. If the lender's net proceeds are less than the amount they approved, a revised approval letter must be received from the lender.
The Approval Process for FHA Short Sales

FHA short sales typically follow a three-step approval process and, in many ways, the approval steps are very similar to the process for conventional loans that we have been discussing-these short sales just require more paperwork and they follow a tighter set of rules. F.irst, the client (selle;:) must be approved into the short sale program. Second, the purchase contract will be .reviewed and either accepted or rejected. Third, the final HUD-l settlement statement from the title company or attorney must be reviewed and approved.
1. The dient(seUer) must be approved into the short sale program.

Before otdering an appraisal on the property, the loss mitigator will determine if your client meets the criteria for the short sale program. If your client is approved, the loss mitigator ",-ill complete and fax or email you an Appwval. to Participate Form HUD-90045. (Discussed on Day 2.) TIUs document indicates that your client is officially approved into the Pre-Foreclosure Sale (PFS) program and eligible to do a short sale unde;: HUD guidelines. YOut client must sign and you must return the Approval to Participate Form HUD-90045 within 7 days of the date you receive the form. TIUs document does not indicate whether or not the current offer/ contract will be approved.
245
Among other things, the Approval to Participate Fonn HUD-90045 document spells out the following:
"
7
How much you can list the property for. This amount is the amount of the appraisal. Your deadline to obtain a signed contract. You will have 120 day (4 months) to obtain an acceptable contract. The minimum net proceeds HUD requires. The minimum net proceeds are 88%. For example, if a home is sold for $100,000, the minimum net proceeds will need to be $88,000, after all seller closing costs are paid (i.e., real estate agent commissions, property taxes, escrow and tide company fees). Mter the property has been on the market for 30 days, the minimum net proceeds acceptable is 86%. After the property has been on the market for 60 days, the minimum net proceeds acceptable is 84%.
By studying the HUD Mortgagee Letter 2008-43 and applying what you have learned in 7 Derys to Success with Short Safes, you should be able to get approval for all of your FHA short sale clients.
2. The purchase contract will be reviewed and either accepted or rejected.

Next, the file goes to the second checkpoint in the FHA short sale approval process. The loss mitigator processing the FHA short sale will review the purchase contract submitted to make sure that it complies with the ctiteria spelled out in the Approval to Participate fonn. The mitigator will then complete a Sales Contract Review Form HUD90051 and accept or reject the contract by checking the appropriate box at the bottom of the fonn. The loss mitigator only has 5 working days from the receipt of an executed contract to respond back with this fonn. It will typically be faxed or emailed to you. If the contract is rejected, the lender will list the reasons why, so that the contract can be resubmitted. But remember, by applying what you have learned in the 7 Derys to Success system you won't ever have purchase contracts that are rejected!
246
3. The final HUD-1 settlement statement from the title company or attorney must be reviewed and approved.
And lastly, the lender must approve the final HUD-l statement to ensure that no changes have been made that alter the terms originally proposed. This step is standard for all short sales, but on FHA short sales, the lender will require 48 hours to review and approve the final HUD-l statement prior to closing the transaction. This is strictly a formality. The approvalletrer may state, "final HUD-l must be sent to us within 48 hours prior to closing." As long as the final HUD-l matches the approved Sales Contract Review Form HUD-900S1 you will be fine. More information about this process is discussed in "Day 7: Oosing the Transaction and Getting Paid."

Additional Tips for Your Success

Keep the Seller Informed
It is imperative that you keep the seller info=ed about what is happening during the entire short sale process. In our system, we do this by providing the seller with notes from our phone conversations with the loss mitigation setup department and the loss mitigator. Our client receives a weekly status update from us via email. We try not to call them with these updates as the seller typically wants to remain in the background. If you are not keeping the seller engaged throughout the process, it will become easy for your client to disconnect from the house and the transaction-particularly if they have already vacated the property. The more they distance themselves (because they are uninfo=ed and uninvolved), the harder it will be to keep them motivated through to closing. The worst thing I can imagine is to have a file completely approved and have the seller NOT perfo= (show up at closing) due to apathy.
Keep the Buyer's Agent Informed

In the same way, we provide the buyer'S agent with a weekly email update containing the notes from our conversations with the lender. We are careful not to send the buyer'S agent any sensitive or personal info=ation regarding the seller. Keeping the buyer's agent info=ed keeps you proactive, and this results in fewer buyer agent inquiry calls and emails, and less frustration for the buyer-since they will clearly be able to see that you are working the file.

Get on the Loss Mitigator's Good Side

Some folks make a sport of being discourteous to clerks who work in customer service. They call with rude and harsh tones and talk down to people. While most customer service representatives have to grin-andbear-it because "the customer is always right," they can retaliate in other ways. Loss mitigators are human beings who have feelings. Most of them don't seem to particularly love what they do, and that may be due in part to the way they ate treated. As I have already stated, it is essential that you are diplomatic, tactful, and couneous to the loss mitigators working your files, even if they do not reciprocate. Try your best to keep a level head at all times. If you ever do blow up, be quick to apologize. You .need to make sure that the [oss mitigiltor is on your side.

Factor 1: How Quickly Your File Is Completed
Courteous Real Estate Agent: The file will be rotated to the top of the mitigator's stack. Discourteous Real Estate Agent: The file will it be rotated to the bottom of their stack.
Remember, the quicker you get your files approved, the more clients you will help, and the more money you will make.
Factor 2: The Ease of Working the File

Courteous Real Estate Agent: If something about the file is wrong or incomplete, the loss mitigator will coach you on what needs correcting so that they can quickly
stamp your file as Approved.

Discourteous Real Estate Agent: The mitigator will look for everything they can find that is wrong with your file, causing delays. They can nitpick the file with such scrutiny
that you will really wonder what hit you. For example, they may place your file on hold for missing initials on a page. This causes some agents to push back too hard, which digs them even further in the hole with the loss mitigator.
Factor 3: The Likelihood of Getting the File Approved
Courteous Real Estate Agent: The mitigator will look for ways they can get your file approved quickly. Loss mitigators are typically given parameters and variances that they can employ when approving files. They may be willing to use their more relaxed criteria so that your file can get
approved without delay.
250
Discourteous Real Estate Agent: The mitigator will look for ways they can get yow: file declined. If something
about yow: file is wrong, they can quickly decline (and close) the file and get rid of you. If a file is closed, you will have to resubmit the entire short sale package or appeal to a supervisor to have the file reopened. Either way, the mitigator will be happy that they are no longer dealing with you--as someone else will likely get the file the next time around. Use these tips to yow: advantage. Ensw:e that you do yow: best to get on and stay on the loss mitigator's good side throughout the process. You and this loss mitigator may meet again on a transaction down the road. rt'5 much better to have an ally on your side.

In Day 7, we will cover the last remaining techniques and tips to help you reap the fruits of your labor. Let's close the short sale and get paid!
Day 7: Closing the Transaction and Getting Paid
257
The Closing Process

Once the file is completely approved, it can move forward to closing just like any traditional transaction. After the lender approves the short sale, the pressure will be on the buyer to close. While the buyer may have waited for weeks or in some cases months, now they may be the ones holding up the deal. It is important that you are as patient with the buyer's agent and the buyer as they were with you. However, the lender may only grant a 2- to 3-week period for the file to close, so the buyer must be ready to act quickly once the deal is approved.
The Title Company or Attorney's Role

In our system, we lean heavily on the title company to help facilitate a smooth closing. The title company we use is responsible for obtaining all closing documentation (instead of me or someone on my team). I have trained the escrow officers we use how to work directly with the lender's loss mitigators to obtain the final approval letter and all other necessary closing documentation. Besides passing on responsibility, this technique has another benefit. An escrow offer will carry much more weight or authority in the minds of loss mitigators. If an escrow officer calls, this signals to the loss mitigator that the deal is very close to closing and the bank is very close to getting their money. They will be more inclined to make things happen. I consider the escrow officer handling my file an integral part of my short sale team. That is why I only close with title companies, attorneys, and escrow officers who are willing to assist with the extra steps required to close a short sale transaction, with limited involvement from my team.
258
Once we have a short sale file approved, we basically allow the escrow company to take over. The escrow company contacts the loss mitigator and gets them anything they need (usually updated HUD-ls and contract amendments) in order to close the deal.

Necessary Documentation
Final HUO-1 Settlement Statement
Oftentimes, after a file is approved, there are things about the HUD-l that change. Remember that the lender has been working from an estimated HUD-l Settlement Statement. The final HUD-l may be slightly different from the one the short sale lender approved. Whenever there are changes that will delay the closing date or reduce the net proceeds to the lender, you will need to get a revised approval letter from the lender in order to close the transaction.
259
The following are the three most common items that change on a HUD-1 after the file has been approved:
1.
Net proceeds are reduced due to items on the settlement statement costing more than estimated
2. 3.
Net proceeds are reduced due to buyer's change in terms The closing date is delayed beyond the short sale approval date
Let's take a look at these and see how they can be avoided.
Proceeds Reduced Due to Taxes. Because short sales take a while to close, the final closing date can vary substantially from the originally projected closing date on the original contract. For example, the contract may state a closing date of May 31, but the file may not actually close until July 31. This means that there will be additional prorated taxes applied to the seller's side of the transaction. In states like Texas, where property taxes can be $500 to $1000 per month, this can dramatically skew the net proceeds to the lender. Proceeds Reduced Due to HOA Fees. Homeowner's association (BOA) fees can also catch people off guard. When an escrow officer completes the first estimated net sheet, they may not have an accurate figure for what is due to theHOA.
To avoid having to go back to the lender and get a revised approval on a file, I recommend that you estimate for worst case scenarios. Have the escrow officer draw up the settlement statement with a closing date that is 60 days beyond the contract date Gust to be safe). You can also pad the HOA fee and other fees you think may change. When our escrow officer prepares a HUD-1, we have her charge $1,000 or $1,500 to the HOA fees line
260
item, just in case. If the HOA dues come back as an amount due of $600, for example, then that's fine. The lender will never give you grief about getting more net proceeds than they requested. Proceeds Reduced Due to Change in Buyer's Terms. Sometimes buyers will change their terms midstream. For example, the buyer originally offered $180,000, but now they want to revise their offer to $175,000, or they want to roll in closing costs and so forth. When this happens, you will need to submit a revised HUD-l to the loss mitigator. Sometimes the buyer drops out of the deal altogether, and you are now working a new contract! TIus is covered in Day 5. When this happens and the net proceeds are reduced, you will need to get a revised HUD-l to the loss mitigatnL :111 Closing Date Is Changed or Delayed. Make sure the loss mitigator working your ille recei,"es a revised HUD-l as soon as you know the estimated HUD-l will change (preembly before the Ele is approved). For example, if the HUD-l in your file runs through September 15, and it's akeady September 1 and the file still hasn't been. approved, send a newly revised HUD 'with a closing of October 31 to the miJ:i"oator.
FHA Sates Contract Review (for FHA Loans)

We discussed the Sales Contract Review Form HUD-90051 in Day 6. This document pertains to FHA short sales only. If the amount being paid to the first lien holder on the HUD-l is the same or more than the amount in the Estimated Net Sale Proceeds column of the Sales Contract Review form, then you are good to go. The lender will require 48 hours to review the HUD prior to closing, but that's only a formality.
261
If the net proceeds end up being less than the amount required on the Sales Contract Review form, then you will need to trace down the discrepancy. As we've already discussed, the culprit for the discrepancy is probably additional property taxes, HOA dues, and so forth. The loss mitigator should issue you a revised Sales Contract Review based on the new HUD-l, as long as the minimum net proceeds are at least 84-88% (see Day 6) and the additional fees are acceptable seller closing costs. You will need to submit the revised HUD-l along with a letter requesting a revised approval.
Final, Final Approval Letter

By following the techniques I've outlined for you in this section, you will greatly minimize your need to request revised approvals from the lender. However, the need may arise from time to time. The technique I have found most effective is to email and/or fax a formal request letter to the lender. Either you or your escrow officer can do this. In the request, you should outline the new terms requested (e.g., the revised closing date, or new net proceeds), and briefly explain why the terms have changed. Having to go back to a lender for a revised approval is time-consuming and it is never fun. But don't fret-lenders understand that this does happen, and they will typically oblige when you present the request properly. Communication is key.

Closing Day
I highly recommend that you host a private closing-that is, the seller and the buyer will close separately. My primary reasoning for this is to protect the feelings of my client, the seller. In a short sale situation, the sellers are typically not happy about the sale of their home. At this point in their lives, they are experiencing some life change and hardship that has necessitated this sale. They usually do not even want to know the details of the settlement. They are relieved to be at the end of this process, but they are far from happy about the overall situation. On the other hand, this is a special day for the new homebuyers. They are delighted to have purchased the home at a good price and are excited to take possession of the home today. Two very different sets of emotions. Closing the transaction with the buyer and seller in the same room can only be described as extremely awkward and embarrassing for everyone. Years ago when I used to close both parties together, 1'd have the seller on the verge of crying, while the buyer was telling everyone what he planned to do with the kitchen and cheerfully asking about where the seller was moving, and so forth. Back then, I made a decision to never close the buyer and seller together.
Should You Attend the Closing?

This is a very interesting question. I think the answer will be different for different people. Personally, I stopped attending short sale closings years ago. And consider the time I am saving! It takes approximately 30 minutes to drive to the title company; 30 minutes to close; and 30 minutes to drive back to my office. Add another 30 minutes for incidentals. That means at least 2 hours per closing. Multiple that by 100 closings and that's 200 hours per year-almost 5 weeks spent in a closing room! Some of you will think you absolutely have to attend the closing, and I can understand that. I thought the exact same way years ago. "What will my client think of me if I don't attend?" Then I developed a technique
264
that has helped me immensely. I have my clients do what I call a preclose. I explain to them that for their privacy and convenience, I won't be attending the closing.
Sample Script: Explaining the Pre-Close
(~CriP:!0
Knolly: "Hi, Jane. Wow! I am so excited that we were able to get your file approved so you can close on your home and move on with your life." Client: "Thanks, Knolly, me, too." Knolly: "Jane,1 know this is a very difficult time. 1 have found from experience that ... for my short sale clients ... dosing on their home is not a particu1larly fun experience. ~lthough you're eager to move on, what you're going through stilt hurts. " Client: "Welt ... 1 never thought things would tum out this way for me. " Knolly.: "I understand that, Jane. I'm praying for you." Client: "I appreciate that." Knolly: "Listen, Jane, as a courtesy to my cUents, and to protect your privacy during this difficult time, I provide what I caU a private pre-close. May I explain?" Client: "Sure, what's that?" Knolly: "Well, Jane, typically when a home closes, both the buyer and the seller are in the room together signing papers. 1 have found that this can be very awkward. Since this is a short sale, we really don't need the buyers to know any of your personal details. Also, most of my short sale clients want to get in and get out."
265
Client: "Yeah .. .1 understand." Knolly: "Well, Jane, it's up to you, but I've discussed it with the title company, and they have agreed to allow you to do a private pre-closing. This should only take about 15 minutes for you to zip in, sign the papers, and get on with your life. The buyers will come at a separate time. If you decide instead to close alongside the buyers, the closing could take an hour or more and it won't be private. Which do you prefer?" Client: "Well, I'd prefer the private closing." Knolly: "I agree, Jane. That's what I recommend. I'll let the title company know, and they'll arrange a time. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend your private pre-closing, but the title company will have all of the instructions they need from my office and from your lender." Client: "Oh, that's no problem, Knolly." Knolly: "Okay, then. I'll let Stacey at the title company know you want to do a private close, and she'll get it scheduled. I wish you the best, Jane. I know life will get better for you once this monkey is off your back." Client: "Well, thanks again, Knolly. I appreciate all your help."
So, you may ask, what about making a last impression at closing? Doesn't that help lead to more referrals? Well, yes, it does. But keep in mind that because you have been keeping in constant contact with your client, they know that you worked very hard on their behalf. They will remember you! But if you really want to go the extra mile, you can try a technique that my escrow officer taught me. Purchase a gift certificate to a great restaurant and write a handwritren thank you note to your client. Your
266
escrow officer will present the envelope to yow: client at closing. This will more than make up for yow: absence!
Sample Script for Escrow Officer to Use at Closing
Script!
Escrow Officer: "Thanks so much for coming in today and signing, Jane." Client: "No problem. I'm just glad to get this over with ... " Escmw Officer: "I understand, Jane. KnoLly wanted me to do this private pre-dosing especiaUy for you. He's not here because he respects your privacy at this difficullt time. " Client: "I understand." Escrow Officeir: ":K:noUy dropped this off [present envelope] and asked me to give it to you personally. He knows how difficult this is for you, and he wanted to at 'least treat you and your daughter to dinner 'On him." Client: "Oh, wow. Gosh. WeU, thank you." Escrow Officer: "You're wekome Jane. He wrote a tittte note ~or you as welL"
As you can see, with the right technique and scripts, you can provide yow: client with a private dosing and still give them a wonderful experience even when you are not present! You can provide the title company the gift cards and personal note well in advance of closing. They can hold the envelope in the file.
267
Closing Costs
Seller Closing Costs
The lien holder who is short will typically agree to pay customary seller closing costs. This includes the real estate commission, property taxes, title policy, and escrow/closing fees. They often will not pay for other items such as surveys, home warranty/residential service contracts, homeowner's association (BOA) dues, buyer'S closing costs, home repairs, or agent transaction fees.
Property Taxes
If your client owes outstanding property taxes for the current year (or a previous year), the lender will typically agree to pay them as part of the seller's closing costs.
Buyer Closing Costs

On an FHA short sale, BUD allows up to 1% of the buyer's mortgage amount for closing costs to be included in the "Seller's Costs" on the BUD-I. This allowance only applies to transactions where the buyer is using FHA financing. For example, if the buyer is getting an FHA loan of $150,000, then BUD will pay up to $1,500 of the buyer's closing costs. BUD will still need to net 84% to 88% of the appraised value. (See the discussion on Day 6). If the buyer is not getting an FHA loan, BUD will not allow any buyer closing costs to be added to the transaction.
268
On conventional and VA loans, the buyer may be able to roll in closing costs, as long as the short sale lender receives their required net proceeds. Oftentimes, lenders will not allow any closing costs to be included, but sometimes they will.
Notes
269
Proceeds from the Sale

Seller Can Not Receive Funds at Closing
On a short sale transaction, the seller may not receive any funds from the deal. The only exception to this is when the seller has an FHA loan, in which case HUD may offer them a consideration amount of $750 to $1,000. Because the lender is forgiving all or a large portion of the loan balance, they will absolutely not allow the seller to receive any funds from the transaction. If the net proceeds end up being more than the bank agreed to receive, these additional funds will typically go back to the lien holder accepting the short sale.

Idea #1: Print Advertising to Local Agents for Referrals

Short sales are absolutely a niche market. Many agents want nothing to do with them for various reasons. You can market your services to local agents and pay them a refertal fee in exchange for feeding you their upside down sellers. Since they are out working in the marketplace every day, other agents could easily become your best source for a steady flow of short sale listing leads. As these agents are contacted by homeowners who want to sell but are upside down, you can become their go-to short sale referral agent. havce fOUlJ.d print advertising to be very effective. You can place your print .ads in local trade publications, such as newslerters published by your boaitd or MiLS, and any other magazine, newsletter, or publication that is ,circulated to other agents in your area.

In yow: advertisement, you want to identiry YOlli'self as the local short sale specialist and publish your referral fee. You can also include quotes from other agents who have used your servioes.

Idea #2: Email Blast to Local Agents for Referrals

Sending an email blast to the agents in your area might tum out to be very cost effective. I have successfully emailed to agents of my local board for many years. You can contact your local board for a list of board members with email addresses. If you are unable to obtain a list from your local board, you can rent or purchase an email list from one of several online vendors. Search online for "real estate agent list," and you'll find several companies that offer such lists. Many internet service providers (ISPs) limit the number of emails you can send out per day or addresses you can include per message (cc and bee), so you will need to check with your ISP to find out what your limits are. Larger ISPs typically don't allow more than 1,000 emails per day and 100 email addresses per message. If you need to send more than the limits your ISP has set up, I recommend that you subscribe to an email marketing service. These services allow you to set up template emails and send hundreds or thousands of bulk emails at a time.

Idea #3: Direct Mail Marketing to Local Agents t:or Referralls

Who said direct mail is dead? When I am marketing to business professionals, such as other real estate agents, I have found that a multitiered approach is best. In other words, to reach the agents effectively in your market, it's a great idea not only to email and advertise in local trade publications, but also to send a direct mail piece. Postcards are very effective for a direct mail campaign because, unlike letters, they don't require opening. You can design a postcard that is

similar to the email or print ad you have and mail it to all of the agents in yOUl: local board or target area. You can contact your local board for a list of board member and mailing addresses. If you are unable to obtain a list from your local board, you can rent or pUl:chase an address list from one of several online vendors. Search online for "real estate agent list," and you'll find several companies that offer such lists. 10 lieu of postcards, you can also send a letter that includes yoUl: business card and any other marketing piece inside the envelope. It's also a great idea to maintain a database of agents you have worked with. As you are referred short sales, keep a database of referring agents that you can market to on a regular basis. You can easily get an additional 50 listings per year by simply having a database of 10 busy listing agents who refer you 5 clients per year. If you maintain a high success rate, agents will be eager to refer their short sales to you again and again.
Idea #4: Yard Signs-Used in Addition to Your Agent Sign

In addition to yOUl: regular yard sign, you should consider making some inexpensive yard signs that you can place on your listed properties. You've probably already seen this idea at work. Have you ever had a neighbor who had a roof installed, a home remodel, a new fence, or a new pool? Oftentimes, these companies will market themselves by placing a small sign on the property. The marketing sign serves as an endorsement from the homeowner. Similarly, you can use these small yard signs to market yOUl: specific short sale services. Obviously, many homeowners will be sensitive about putting up such a sign, and you will need their permission. If the home is vacant, the
290
homeowner will likely be more receptive to such a sign going up in their yard. You may want to place this sign closer to the home so it doesn't distract from your For Sale sign. Also, some homeowner associations frown on having more than the For Sale sign posted, so you may want to check with the HOA for their restrictions regarding sign placement. These signs are a wonderful idea because ofrentimes entire neighborhoods are distressed, and there are likely other homeowners in the area who need help .

Idea #5: Place an Ad in the Yellow Pages

Advertising in the yellow pages may appear to be an idea whose time has passed. However, specific target markets still seem to perform well in this advertising medium. There is still a good-sized segment of the population not immersed in the internet age. I have had good results marketing in the bankruptcy and foreclosure section of my local yellow pages. I recommend you keep your phone book ad (and ad budget) small, but noticeable and effective.

Idea #6: Take Out a Classified Ad

Consider running a print advertising campaign targering homeowners facing foreclosure. I ran a very effective ad in a local classified newspaper for some time. Now, I stick mainly to the internet, but print advertising can still be effective. Almost every town has a small classified newspaper: Greensheet, Thrifty Nickel, Bargain Book, etc. These publications are widely read, and advertising rates are usually very economical. To be effective, however, you will need to maintain your ad for a long time. You will need to advertise consistently for 6 months before you know if your ad is generaring sufficient leads or not. If it is too costly to advertise weekly, then consider running your ad every other issue. Once your ad has been running for at least 3 months, people will begin to rake notice and even refer their friends who are in trouble. As I mentioned, being consistent is critical to success with this type of advertising. Let's say Betty Jones has been seeing your ad for the past 4 months. Then Betty runs into a friend who mentions that they are facing foreclosure, and they don't know what to do. "Wait a minute," Betty
292
tells her friend, "I think I know someone who can help! I've been seeing her ad in the Penny Saver. Hold on, I'll go get it."
Idea #7: Say It Loud with a Billboard Ad

Who says billboards are stricdy for soft drinks, car dealerships, and fast food? In 2003, I moved to Harlingen, a small town in south Texas. At the time, I had just started selling real estate, and I wanted to do some BIG advertising to jump start my career. Just for grins, I decided to inquire about pricing. Upon meeting with the sales representative, I was surprised to learn that billboard advertising (m 1futt small town) was much more economical than I thought. I prod $500 per month for four well-placed biihoards. It wasn't long before folks all over town began to recognize me at !ocalrestaurants, the movie theatre, and so forth. 'Of course, the big cowboy hat I wear didn't hutt either!
In a smaller community, billboards can be very effective. In larger cities,
their effect may become diluted by all of the other marketing (e.g., other billboards and store signage). In larger markets, billboards may also be cost prohibitive. There are so = y homeovmers facing foreclosure today that reaching them in a big way may make a lot of sense for you.
Idea #8: Network with Some Good Bankruptcy Attorneys

In 1992, I went to work as an administrative assistant for a prominent
bankruptcy attorney in Austin, Texas. I was blown away by the sheer number of individuals in financial distress who would come into his office day in and day out. He had a machine going! He used to place a quarter-page ad marketing his services in our local classified paper. There, he advertised a free one-hour consultation. He also had a toll-free number for individuals to call for a pre-recorded message about how easy it was to file bankruptcy and how it could wipe their slate clean.
293
During his one hour consultation, I noticed that he was highly successful at converting these inquirers into clients. Many of these same bankruptcy clients would actually be great candidates for a short sale. The reason most individuals file for bankruptcy protection is because they are in debt way over their heads and want it wiped away. Some file specifically to stop foreclosure. What many people don't realize is that bankruptcy treats unsecured debt differently from secured debt. With unsecured debt (such as credit card debt), a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy puts a stop to all collection activity and wipes the slate clean. The debt and the creditor go away. With secured debt (such as a mortgage or car loan), the same bankruptcy filing will stop all collection activity; however, since the debt is secured by collateral, the collateral is typically repossessed. So, in essence, although a person can file bankruptcy to put an immediate stop to a foreclosure of their home, they are only buying time. As a secured debt, the home can still be foreclosed on once the bankruptcy runs the legal course. When that happens, the person is left with both a bankruptcy and a foreclosure on their credit. I call that "the double kiss of death" to a credit report. Research indicates that the foreclosure has a far more devastating effect on a person's credit than a bankruptcy does. If a person truly needs to file bankruptcy due to the mountain of unsecured debt they have, it would be far better, in my opinion, for them to do a short sale first and then file a bankruptcy. This strategy will eliminate the foreclosure posting on their credit file. Bankruptcy attomeys are a npe source for financially distressed individuals and potential short sale clients. Every day, these specialists deal with individuals who are at the end of their rope. Even if these people have already filed bankruptcy, a short sale is still their best option if they can't keep their home and the payoff balance on their home is
294
more than their home is worth. Bankruptcy attorneys can refer these clients to you.
Idea #9: Subscribe to a Default List Service

As economic conditions worsen, I have seen a rise of companies that sell the names of individuals who are behind on their mortgage payments. Here's an email I received recently:
Hi thefe, Knol'ly. Quiok question ... 1 was

cu~iousif you
might wan! to contact households that
are behind on their mortgage payment? My company pulls credit data from the bureau on homeowners that are 3D, 60, 90 days la\e on ~helr mortgage. Given some geographical areas, we send over a spreadsheet wj~hinformation on these highly motivated, distressed households. ,Induded is a wea:llh of ti'lters such as mortgage amount, credit score, number of trades, etc. Ibis data is NOT public record since a Notice of Defau~ has not yet been : filed. This means you cange! 'in touch with these famUies before your competition knows Ihey exist. If there's any interest, please reply back and I'll send over a ralecard and some filters for you to review,
While I haven't personally used any of these service providers, I have to admit that a list of individuals who are behind on their mortgage payments could be very, very valuable. These folks need you and you need them. I haven't looked into the legalities or legitimacy of these companies; nevertheless, I know of a few short sale practitioners who do subscribe to such services and say they are having some success.
295
Several companies also publish NOD (Notice of Default) lists of homes that are coming up for foreclosure sale. This is public information and is typically posted on a public website hosted by the appraisal district in the county where the home resides. Although you can pull this information yourself, these companies compile the information, saving you rime. You can make it a point to contact these homeowners and make them aware of your short sale services. Bear in mind that the homes on the list may be just weeks away from foreclosure, so you'll have to act fastvery fast!
Idea #10: Call on Expired Listings

Before I made a name for myself in the short sale arena, I worked tirelessly and fearlessly on expired listings. In fact, I have successfully marketed to expireds for many years. In my experience, the number one reason listing agreements expire is due to pricing. In most cases, these homeowners have tried pricing their homes at break even, but even that was overpriced for their market and not good enough to generate an offer. For those who qualifY, a short sale may be the perfect solution. Many of my listings come from former expired listings. These are sellers who are upside down and qualified to do a short sale, but didn't know there was away out. I have found that the most effective way to contact these sellers is by phone. It can be rime consuming, but also very lucrative. There are basically three different ways to approach these calls.
1.
2. 3.
You can make the calls yourself, one by one You can hire someone to make the calls You can use automated calling with a call service
If you make the calls yourself, it's best to rimeblock at least a few hours each morning and an hour in the evening to make these calls. If you hire
296
someone to make the calls for you, make sure they are GOOD on the phone. There are also auto-dial services where you can pre-record a message and have it "blast" out to a bunch of phone numbers. This is a real timesaver, but obviously not as personal. When calling expireds, I used an auto-dialer service that could call approximately 250 expireds in a few minutes time. I told the system to leave my pre-recorded, 30-second message only for individuals who did not pick up the phone and to disconnect the call if a "live" person answered. Yes, the systems they have now can detect if the phone is picked up by a live person or an answering machine. Next, I pulled the list of the "live" answers and caiIled them directly, since I knew for sure they were homdWhat a timesaver! This appmach is very effective.

Idea #12: Hook 'em with Door Hangers

In some cities, there are certain neighborhoods or parts of town that are full of homeowners who are upside down and feeling trapped in. These homeowners bought into a neighborhood where values have since declined for various reasons. These areas are often riddled with foreclosures and others who want out. By regularly farming your short sale services directly to these areas, you can become the agent that these homeowners tum to when they are ready to sell.. Phtcing door hangers can be very effective. You can also slip a postcard.in the door. In my market, I have contracted with a highly reliable person who will canvas an entire neighbomood for 12 cents per home. This can add up, but it's much more economical than mailing.
Ildea#13: Farming to FSBOs
(For Sale By Owner)

Many For Sale By Owners choose not to hire .an agent because they owe so much on their home that they cannot afford to pay a real estate COmnlJ[ss,on. You can awessively market to FSBOs, letting them know that it costs them nothing to hire you to sell. their home via a short sale, since your fees will be paid by their lender. You can reach these potential prospects by phone, in person, or with a direct mail campaign.
Idea #14: Online Marketing and Blogging

Since many homeowners in trouble often search the internet for a solution to their situation, marketing your services online is essential to establishing yourself as the local area expert.
301
You should have a website (or a section of your current site) dedicated exclusively to your short sale business. This site should educate clients on what a short sale is and how they can benefit from your services. For ideas, check out my consumer website at www.ShortSaleSite.com. Additionally, you will want to have an online contact form (lead generator) for sellers to fill in their information and send it to you electronically. Effective online marketing also includes blo&,oing, Craigslist ads, online articles, and various forms of search engine optimization (SEO). This all helps establish you as the area expert.
Idea #15: Take It to Television

Another potentially effective way to reach homeowners in trouble is via television advertising. TV commercials can actually be a lot cheaper than you think, and I've heard from many agents who swear by them. Depending on your market, local cable TV ads can be as low as $5 to $10 dollars per 30 second spot. An effective ad would be one that is specifically targeted to distressed homeowners. For example, the ad might say, ''Behind on your mortgage payments? Facing foreclosure? I have successfully helped folks in our area avoid foreclosure, and I can help you too. Call me now at 512-9999999 or find out more at www.---.com ...
Idea #16: Farming on Foot

Remember back when salesmen weren't afraid to sell? Okay, maybe you're too young! Back in those days, salesmen peddling everything from pots and pans to encyclopedias would go door to door in search of a ready buyer. Although perhaps looked upon as less than noble, the successful ones were truly titans of the sales industry. And they did this not for glory, fame, or rewards. They did it simply to feed their families. Some were good at it; I mean, really good.
302
These days, many real estate agents are afraid to knock on doors. This isn't cold calling; it's cold knocking! And yes, it is scary. But let's say you just sold a home in the area. You could proudly knock on doors with the following script:
c. sc~"1!0 Agent: "Hi, there ... My name is John Smith, and I ..... ..... / recently sold the home at 511 Plymouth Stone. It's just a few streets over. We closed on it yesterday. "
[Perhaps you can hand them a just-sold postcard of the home at this time.] Agent: "I was able to help this fami1ly even though they owed :more than their home was worth. I negotiated with their lender to forgive the difference. Who do you know in the area that is looking to seU?"
Don't be scared! Getting yourself in front of people is a great way to hone your crat and pick up new clients (and database contacts).
Idea #17: CaU Agents to He' Them Take lp Their Listings from OLD to SOUD
~------~------~
"olsatJ. ThLs ~s a yeaLLtJ gODcl Ollle, tJ'aW I LLlse Lt bewv~se Lt's YeCI'L'LtJ aIII OYLgLIIlJ1L ovce that wViIle to Ville fYOVill Olll hLgh! No IsLclclLlIlg!n
You already know that other real estate agents are a great source for short sale leads, right? Why not contact agents who have old inventory that you have identified as overpriced?
303
Here's how it works:
1.
2.
Let's say you just sold and closed a home via short sale. Now, look up all the other homes that are currently for sale (active listings) in the same area and print out the list. IdentifY the ones that have been on the market for a while (longer than normal). Then call the listing agent and let them know you just sold a home in their area via short sale and, if their client qualifies, you can help them sell their client's home too.
3.
Referting the listing to you could be a smart thing for the current listing agent. The listing may be close to expiring and the seller may be ready to try a different approach. Rather than lose the listing, agents who are not savvy at short selling could still earn a nice referral fee for handing the listing over to you.
Sample Script Short Sale Agent: "Hey, Jim, this is Karen with the Tallhouse Team. I'm calling about your listing at 438 Springhill. I noticed it's been on the market for over 120 days. I just sold one at 418 Springhill. Based on my client's situation, we had to sell that one as a short sale. Has you seller considered doing a short sale?" Other Agent: "You know, Karen, I'm not sure. They do owe quite a bit on it, and we've already priced it at break even." Short Sale Agent: "Well, Jim, if your sellers would be willing to consider this option, I can see if they qualify. I'd be happy to do the short sale, and we could partner up or you could refer me the listing and I will handle everything."
304
Idea #18: Sphere of Influence Postcard Campaign

You aheady understand that marketing to your sphere of influence (SOl) is critical to your continued survival in the real estate game. In additional to the slick marketing you are currently doing to bolster your business, you should consider creating a specialty piece that directly promotes your short sale business to your sphere of influence. I prefer jumbo postcards for this. The purpose of this marketing piece is to create awareness about your short sale business, not necessarily to solicit the recipients. Your piece could say, "KNOW SOMEONE FACING FORECLOSURE? I CAN HELP!" The more you sp~ead the word about your services and how short sales work, the more folks you will have out in the field helping to promote you. Every day, the people in your database are :running into friends and family members who are in trouble. Why not Jet them know that YOU are the one who can get the job done? I have observed that referrals from my SOl are more open, honest, and trusting. Since they were referred by someone they trust, they immediately put their trust in you.
Idea #19: Write Articles to Be Published in Print or on the Web

Few things give you more instant credibility than getting something published in print If you really want to establish yourself as the go-to person in your field, sharpen your pencil and start writing. Initially, it will be easier to get your articles published online through your blog and other online article services. As you begin to hone your writing skills and style, you will want to begin soliciting newspapers and magazines to publish your helpful information about short sales.
305
The more you educate others, the more you are seen as the authority in your market.
Idea #20: Partner with Loan Modification Companies

These days, banks are really ttying to help homeowners to STAY in their homes. To encourage home retention, lenders are offering loan modifications and refinancing options to those who are eligible. There are many emerging companies that will assist homeowners (for a fee) in getting their loan modified. While it may be true that homeowners can do this themselves, many homeowners are just too emotionally drained to deal with their lender. Many of these homeowners will not qualifY for a loan modification, due to their lack of income. If they cannot afford to make the monthly mortgage payment, their only likely option is to sell or face foreclosure. If they are upside down, a short sale is their best option. You can partner with non-competing companies that offer loan modification services. They can send you their prospects who can't qualifY for a loan modification, and you can send them prospects who want to do a loan modification in lieu of a short sale.
Idea #21: Conduct Short Sale Training Classes

Once you've done a number of short sales, you can begin to teach other agents how to do them. ''Why would I do that?" you ask. Well, as you have learned, short sales are very technical and they take a while to learn. You can teach a one- or two-hour class and still only scratch the surface. After attending your short sale class, some agents will siruply not want to get involved in short sales and would prefer to refer these arduous transactions to you, the expert.
306
Teaching short sale classes is a very good way to establish yourself as the market expert and will typically produce lots of leads for your short sale practice.
Idea #22: Back of Business Card or Spedalty Business Cards

The back of a business card is a prime marketing canvas. If you are a short sale specialist, you should use the back of your business card as a small advertisement. You can also consider printing specialty business cards specifically for your short sale practice (if short sales are just a portion of your business). Don't overlook this inexpensive but effective advertising medium.
Idea #23:" Just Sold!" Postcards to Distressed Areas

For years, agents have debated the effectiveness of Just Sold and Just Listed postcards. While the debate continues, a Just Sold postcard campaign targeting areas that are distressed can prove very efective. Oftentimes, homeowners wonder how in the world you were able to sell the home down vhe street, when other homes in the area have been on the market for months. Why not let them know your secret weaponthe short sale! A targeted Just Sold postcard campaign can do just that.
Idea #24: Partner with Debt ConsoUdation Companies

Debt consolidation companies are running a brisk business these days. People buried by debt are trying to do whatever they can to get out ftom under that mountain. Oftentimes, people who have a lot of debt will also consider selling their home (their largest debt of all).
307
You can partner with some of these companies, making them aware of your short sale services. In fact, you can consider that you are both in the same line of work-hdping folks in difficult financial situations. While the debt consolidation company is busy negotiating a settlement on the homeowner's debts, you can be negotiating the settlement on their home via a short sale.
Idea #25: Partner with "We Buy Houses" Investors

I have recently partnered with a "we buy houses" investor. This investor is constantly coming across folks who have to sell, but if the numbers don't work and if the homeowner is upside down, he refers them to me. lt's a win-win!

2 . Partner with a Processor

Many agents who have chosen to specialize in short sales ate preoccupied with the daily duties of running a growing short sale practice. As a consequence, however, they often begin to neglect the details and commitment required to effectively process their files. The processing phase of a short sale is a l~othy one and requires tenacity and persistence to achieve a satisfactory outcome.
If you fiod that you don't have the time or the patience to process your short sales on your own, you can easiJ.y partner with a short sale Pl'ocessor. Here's how it works..
Shott sale processors typic2'lly charge either a fiat fee of $7S() to $l,S()O per transaction or a percentage (30% to 50%) of the listing agent's commission. This nee is payable when the transaction closes. In addition to their fee payabilie at dosing, some short sale processors also cbarge the seller ~ non-refundable fee of $350 to$50Cl payable up front.
Screening Your
Pro~ectiye
Processor
The most important thing to look for when biting one of these tbirdparty comp~nies is not their fees, but their experience and conversion rate. Here are some questions to ask a company you may be considering hiring: II How many short sales have you processed? (preferably over 100) How long have you been processmg short sales? (preferably over 2 yeats) What is your success rate? (What percentage do you get approved)? (preferably over 85%)
II
309
Your Responsibilities and Their Responsibilities

Your objective when partnering with a processor is to build a fantastic duo. You do the front end work and the processor does the back end. Here is what you will be doing: Generate the short sale lead Pre-qualify the prospect Obtain the listing and place property on MLS Get the home under contract
Here is what the processor will be doing: Prepares and submits the short sale package Contact the lender until file is assigned to a loss mitigator Remain in constant contact with the loss mitigator until file is approved
Once the file is approved, you will have to decide who will do the final contract-to-close work. Some processors will do this work for an additional fee. In this case, the file will remain with the processor until closing. As a rule of thumb, I don't recommend that you hire a processor until you are getting a steady stream of at least 5 or more short sales listings per month. Once you are getting over 10 listings per month, you will want to consider hiring a processor as part of your team (See Bonus section 3).
310
3 .. Build a Short Sale Power Team

As you begin to take on more and more short sale clients, you should consider building an in-house power team to handle the processing and other tasks associated with successfully completing your mounting supply of short sales. The most important initial hires to your team will not be other real estate agents-they will he administrative people. Because short sales are so heavily administrative, your administrative staff can perform more than 90% of the processing tasks.
First Hire: Short Sale Processor

My very first hire was Barbara Riordan. I hired her to assist me with the time-consuming task of processing short sales, thereby freeing me up to generate more leads. Likewise, your very first hire should be a Short Sale Processor-thact is, an administrative assistant who can process your short sales in-house. Tills person will.

I waited until a year and a half after I hired Barbara before I hired Morris Thompson, my Short Sale Listing Manager. Morris basically is what I call my "set-up man." He takes the file all the way from the beginning up to the contract stage. He has allowed me to concentrate on being the "rain-maker" for the team. With training, this person will be able to conduct your initial interview with the client, receive buyer offers, and manage the process all the way to the purchase contract.

Monftor Team Performance

Once you have your complete administrative team up and running, and closing multiple transactions per month, you will need to assess, from time-to-time, how efficient they ate as a unit. Processing will be the area that tequires the most monitoring and the most twealting. This is where short sale transactions can bottleneck if your team is not running smoothly. Tweak, tweak, and tweak. Once your well-oiled machine is operating at maximum capacity, you may find it necessary to add even more talent. If so, you may simply add an administrative assistant ot two and cross-train them to assist your already trained power team.
315
In fact, make sure that each of your team members is cross-trained (trained to do other team members duties) in case a team member is out sick, on vacation, or quits. Building a great team can be very rewarding, once they are all. properly trained.
Administrative Team Pay Structure

Your core team members will be compensated one of several ways: Hourly: Pay a Processor $8 to $12 per hour or more, depending on your market area. No compensation per file, just an hourly wage. Salary only: Pay a processor a monthly salary of $1 ,200 to $1,500 (part time) to $2,500 to $3,000 (full time) or so, depending on the hours they work and the going rate in your area. Salary plus bonus: Pay a processor a flat monthly fee, say $1,500 per month (full time) PLUS $300 to $500 per file closed.
Per IDe fee only: Pay a processor a per-file-closed fee of $300 to $500 or more per file closed, depending on the volume of files you are closing per month and their income needs.

4 .. Find and Hire a Short Sale Listing Agent

Hiring a Short Sale Listing Agent (or team manager) means you have reached a point in your career where you find it necessary to "fire yourself' and Me someone to run your operation. The difference between hiring a listing agent and a listing manager (admin) is that tbe listing agent will be a licensed real estate agent. Here are some of the situations that may lead you to recruit a short sale listing agent: II You are highly entrepreneurial and, tberefore, too busy witb other endeavors to properly m=ge and oversee your team on a daily basis. You want to focus all of your energles on dollarproductive activities (lead generating and marketing) and [et others do the rest. You are ready to retire or semi-retire from the business and need someone to take over your duti,es. Short sales are just a segment of your real estate practice, and you need someone to oversee that "department" of your operation.
'II
;111
III
As you would expect, finding the right person to take over your short sale operation may not be easy. You need someone who can uphold your high standards and move your operation forward. Your compensation for this person can be a set monthly lncome, monthly income plus a bonus per closing, or just a percentage of each transaction.
317
As far as job duties are concerned, your listing agent may do any of the job duties that the listing manager does (see Bonus section 3), or they can simply oversee the entire team, filling in where needed. Ideally, you will f11ld someone who is already on your team and can be promoted to this position. Otherwise, I highly recommend that you find someone who has a thorough understanding of short sales-perhaps someone who is already a short sale listing agent in your market.
Notes

5 .. Find and Hire a Buyer's Agent

Once you have a steady stream of listings and a well-oiled operation, you will want to consider hiring a buyer's agent. A buyer's agent who has a good understanding of short sales will be able to educate prospects and should be able to convert many buyer leads to closings. Buyers who are drawn to short sale listings are typically looking for a good deal The fact that you have great deals all the time (and many of these deals have not yet hit the mmet) will be a great asset to an enteq>rising buyer's agent.
Sample Script
Buyer: "Hi, this is Jehn.I'm calling abeut yeur hO'use O'n .Map'le Run ... Is it still available?" Buyer Agent: "Hi, JO'hn, thanks fO'r caUing! That's a great home-and it is still available. You iknO'w, Jehn, based O'n the fact that you catlled me abO'ut this heme, it loO'ks to me like you want to' get a gO'O'd deal. NO't enly dO' we have that O'ne, but because we work with So' many pre-foreclosures, we are getting new deals in every week. Also, we have several that haven't hit the market yet. Let me email you some informatiO'n about those."
Since you are providing the leads, a typical split with a buyer'S agent is 50/50 or 40/60 (that is, 40% to you, 60% to buyer's agent). Tfyou have a good listing inventory (12 or more listings) and you do not have a buyer'S agent on your team, you are foregoing a good amount of potential income.

6.. Organize Your Office for Success

Having an organized office will contribute to the well-being of your staff and allow you to get more done with less effort.
Office Furniture
I suggest you purchase office furniture from a used office furniture dealer. Look for these dealers in the yellow pages. Please don't buy new furniture--except maybe for your chair. New, top-quality office furniture is expensive and not necessary for your short sale office. Some people look to express themselves through their office furniture. Don't. Get something that works, looks decent, and is affordable. If you do purchase new, look for discount items and assemble them yourself. That's half the fun!
A Decent Desk
Don't get just any desk, and certainly don't buy one because it looks impressive. First and foremost, the desk you choose should be practical. I once purchased a glass desk for my office manager. The desk looked great, but there was nowhere to store files and paperwork! Make sure the desk you purchase has a drawer for storing pens, pencils, paper clips, and so forth. Make sure that the desk has several additional drawers and preferably a built-in file drawer for handy access to the files you use daily. Make sure your desk has enough space for your computer, as well as an adequate work surface. A desk that is at least 5 feet wide should work well.
320
A Good Chair
A good chair is essential to working effectively for long periods of time and will help you prevent long-term back problems. The chair you select should be comfortable, ergonomically correct, and should offer great lumbar support. Personally, I prefer a chair that has arms as opposed to the armless (task) chair. Make sure that the arms on your chair will slide under the top of the desk; otherwise you will be bumping them into your desk quite often. You can sp=d from $300 to $500 for a great chair; however, try to find one for less than $100 to $200. The right chairs will give you and your team a comfortable day at the office and could help prevent chiropractic visits down the road. Besides selecting the right chair, don't forget to sit up straight and practice good posture when you are worlring!
TaSk Table
A task tab1e is very important. You v;cilluse this table to setup your short sale package, mru:keting mailouts, and so forth. Unlike your desk, which is used for daily work, this table can be used for all kinds of tasks. I su&,,",,st you purchase a sturdy, 4-foot folding table for these tasks.
FUeCabinet
You will need to keep your files neat and in a systematic order. A lightweight, metal, two-drawer file cabinet will help you do just that. Use the file cabinet for active files, not storage. I suggest you archive any files that have closed over a year ago, and the best practice is to store all files (preferably in hard copy format) for at least 7 years. You may choose to purchase a separate filing cabinet for this purpose.
321
Book Shelf (optional)

A bookshelf is a smart purchase if you have a few business books and no place to store them. You will want to build a collection of reference books and training materials for your growing team-and inspirational leadership and sales books for yourself! A small, two-shelf bookshelf should meet your initial needs. You can also use this bookshelf to store magazines, printer paper, stationary, and so forth-thereby, allowing the bookcase to double as an office supply cabinet.
Printer Stand (optional)

A printer stand with storage shelves is useful because it allows you to store paper, labels, and stationary underneath. I, however, store my printer on top of a small file cabinet.
Office Equipment
Whether you buy new or used, I suggest you purchase office equipment from a reputable retailer---one that will allow you to make returns or get support if something doesn't quite work.
Computer
When it comes to computers, there are many choices out there. And since technology changes every week, I will keep my suggestions generic. I suggest you purchase an entry-level computer, which will be the best value for your money. You don't need any special bells and whistles, just a good fast, business computer with a good amount of storage space.
AU-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner
You will be usirg a scanner to create email-able documents to send to your clients, to the lender, and to other agents. You'll also use the fax machine quite a bit. Be sure to select a device that supports multi-page document scanning and faxing.
322
My team uses an all-in-one printer/ fax/ scanner at the office. And each of my team members has one of these at home too, since they often call lenders and fax documents after hours.
Telephone
Since you will be spending a great deal of time on the phone, you should consider investing in a good corded or cordless headset and a speakerphone. My short sale processor has two phones. She uses one to call and check status of short sale files and is often on hold for 30 minutes at a time. While she's on hold, she uses the other phone to Illilke short calls and to receive calls. You'll also want to ensure that you 2nd your team members can make long distance calls from yom: office phones. Good reliable equipment is as important as good systems. Make sure your equipment is up to date and operating at mmcimum capacity.

Short Sale Q & A

As a short sale trainer and coach, my students send me questions every day. The following represents a collection of some of these real-world questions and answers. I think that understanding the issues that these questions address will help you as you move toward short sale mastery.
Question #1: "Does the bank have incentive to close a short sale if the loan has PMI?"
"From a buyer'S agent perspective, my thought is that if the loan has PM} or if it is a guaranteed loan, I should just let that listing go. The bank will continue to get their money up until auction time, and they will not be motivated to work out the short sale. Is that true? I would appreciate your perspective on this."
Knolly's Answer #1:

The bank always bas an incentive to do a short sale versus a foreclosure. Of the more than 450 short sales I've done, many of these had PMI (private Mortgage Insurance), and we still haGl a 90+% success rate on the ones with PM!. Why? Well, the issue lies with the PM! company. They will NOT want to be left holding the bag, and they will want to MITIGATE their losses. We recently bad a seminar at our sales office, and the speaker revealed that, based on national averages, a lender loses roughly 40% when doing a foreclosure versus a 19% loss when doing a short sale. Think about it. In a scenario where there is PMI, who is the loser? The PMI company. So while there may not be a huge incentive to the bank, there will be one to the PMI company. The same is true for FHA and VA loans-since they are government insured, the lender often loses very little. However, if HUD found out that a bank was not actively mitigating their losses, that bank could lose its right to do FHA/VA loans and could suffer other penalties.
Real World Questions and Answers about Short Sales
331
In the case where a loan has PM!, the bank has an obligation to mitigate their own losses and those of the PM! company. They will be obligated to disclose to the PM! company their options and the bottom line. The PM! company will almost always find it better to do a short sale.
Question #2: "How do I make a negotiator understand that my client cannot afford to sign a promissory note?"
"I was told by the negotiator that my seller would probably be asked to sign a promissory note because there is PM! on the property and our offer is more than $100,000 short. However, the offer we submitted is the market value for the property. My seller is getting food stamps for groceries right now, the husband is working two jobs, and the wife has just lost her second job. They moved away from our area for better jobs. When I spoke to the negotiator about this, the negotiator said she pulled a credit report and could tell that my sellers were keeping up with their car payments and credit card payments Q.ate on one). It appears that she is putting a lot of weight on this credit report. I would appreciate any information you could give me. I expect approval within the next week. I would like to know how I can help negotiate a promissory should they ask my seller to sign one."
Knolly's Answer #2:

Sometimes a promissory note is unavoidable. What your client needs to understand is that if they choose NOT to sign the promissory note, it won't change the fact that they still owe the money per their mort;"aage agreement. Currently, the note they have on the property is SECURED by the property (as collateral). A promissory note is UNSECURED, just like credit card debt. Depending on the laws in your state, if the home is foreclosed, your client could end up owing the deficiency amount Gucigment) PLUS legal fees associated with the foreclosure.
332
Given the choice, I would take an UNSECURED debt versus a secured one any day. As it relates to the promissory note, cry and beg if need be. Even let the bank know your client is willing to allow the home to go into foreclosure instead of signing the note. If that doesn't work, then your client will likely be faced with having to accept the promissory note or foreclosure. On promissory notes, the rule of thumb is "5 for 5"-a 5 year note at 5% intenest. Try to negotiate it to 5% (or 10% ma...,,) of the forgiven debt. So, if the deficiency is $100,000, try to negotiate a 5 year promissory note of $5,000 at 0% interest (interest free). This will result in payments of $83.33 per month. This is a much better option than foreclosure.
Question #3: "Our short sale has been approved but the buyer stili doesn't have their financing. What do we do?"
"JI am representing the seller on a short sale. The buyer waited until AFTER the short sale was approved before applying for an FHA loan. (The person I hired to process my short sale did not do their job in edUCl<ting the buyer agent, and I was too igoorant to understand that you do not wait until then to apply for mortgage.) We went under contract in October and the bank approved the short sale in late December. It is now March.
The buyer has already missed the first TWO dosing deadlines and STILL does not have a mortgage in place. At this point, I don't even have approval for another extension. The person I hired to process the short sale has asked for a third extension, but the bank has not responded. With no approval, there seems to be no point in continuing. I now have another offer for the same price in front of the short sale processor, but she is reluctant to release the curtent buyer and deposit monies to start all over. Help!"
333
Knolly's Answer #3:

It sounds to me like you are being strung along. You are now over 90 days past the approval date! Wow. First of all, the buyer should NEVER have been given that long to close! Buyers should always be ready to close within 2 to 3 weeks from the date the bank approves the short sale. After the BPO / appraisal is ordered, we let the buyer's agent know they need to get cracking on their loan as we expect approval within weeks. Also, if a deal stretches out too long after the bank has approved, the short sale lender will begin to think they are being misled, and the seller runs the risk of being foreclosed on, as the bank will likely lose patience (and trust) in you. When I have buyers who take more than 30 days to close, I don't typically extend their closing date. Instead, I place the property back on the market as an APPROVED short sale. At this point in your case, make sure that this first buyer can indeed close. Talk to their lender and be absolutely sure you are comfortable with them getting the deal done in the next 10 days. Keep the seller's lender informed at least 3 times per week. If you are not comfortable (and the buyer's are out-of-contract), you need to get the property back on the market right away and get a new contract.
Question #4: "How do you go about working with an expired short sale listing?"
"I am wondering how you go about working with an expired short sale listing? Would you just have the homeowner switch everything over to you? Do you have to completely resubmit evetything? 1'd imagine there would be a proper process in working with expireds, as you don't know how thorough the previous agent was and you also don't want to irritate the loss mitigator. Any tips?"
334
Knolly's Answer #4
See if there is some way you can get a copy of what (if anything) was submitted to the bank to this point. Most of the time, you will find that a complete package wasn't submitted because the property likely expired before an offer was received. If an offer and package were previously submitted, you really need to see the hardship letter and the financial sratement. If you can't get a copy of the package, send your Letter of Authorization to the bank and then begin calling the lender to find out how far along the shott sale process is, and what else (if anything) the bank needs. If nothing was submitted to the bank, you can pick up the listing and work the short sale.
Question #5: "What do I do when the bank expects more than the home is worth?"
"I illive a shott sale that is raking a long tin1e. I do not believe it is possible to get an offer at the current list price of $448,000. In fact, a home right down the street just dosed this week for $325,000, and it W2;S the eX2:ct same floor pl= and in 'excellent condition. The loss mitigator informed me th2t I was not allowed to list the property for any less th2t $448,000 or they would proceed willi foreclosure. I have been extremely professional with her and she has granted two extensions on the foreclosures. The lender National City does not have their own foreclosure! short sale department as they have "farmed" all of their business out to a thirdparty company. Have you ever had a loss mitigator telling you what you can list a property for? Do you ignore them and reduce the price in hopes of getting an offer? I have never experienced a short sale like this before. Thank you for your input!"
335
,Knolly's Answer #5:

It sounds like the BPO or appraisal came in high-which is not
uncommon. This typically happens when you don't have the opportunity to speak with the BPO agent before they go out to do the BPO. At this point, you will need to submit a BPO dispute letter, along with a copy of your market analysis (including the home down the street), showing the true value of the home. This should prompt the bank to reorder a new BPO / appraisal. See the sample BPO dispute letter on the 7 Dqys to Success with Short Sales Toolkit CD.
Question #6: "How can I go around the loss mitigators?"

"Do you have anyone at Chase who will respond? I am dealing with a negotiator who will not return my phone calls. I have her boss' number and have left several messages for him, but he does not call back either. I need to find someone there who cares."
Knolly's Answer #6:

I have worked with several mitigators at Chase. Typically, when you go "around" a mitigator to their boss, this will prejudice your file, and they may take LONGER to work it. So there is a delicate balance between overkill and calling just enough. Yes, it is true that we oftentimes have to escalate to a manager or supervisor, but use caution. Exhaust all avenues in contacting the loss mitigators first. Try faxing a letter (or email if you have their email address). If you are still not getting any feedback, then go around the mitigator. It's also helpful to keep a list of loss mitigators from various banks that you've worked with in the past. This way, you can contact the loss mitigators you've worked with directly and see if they can help get you in contact with their colleague or a supervisor who can help you.
336
Question #7: "The second lien holder says they must approve the short sale before they will release the lien. What do I do?"
''1 have bank approval on an offer, after many trials and errors. I started with an outside negotiator for this short sale, and totally forgot about the second lien holder, mostly because the seller listed them in his bankruptcy and they were discharged. Now at the eleventh hour, -when I am asking them when they will release the lien, they are sending me guidelines and asking for all the typical statements and records required by the fu:st lien holder. I fought hard with the fu:st to get to an approval Must I now submit everything to the second lien h.older again., and where will the funds typically come from to offer them? By the way, they want to knock down our commission by one percent from 6 to 5%. Can they do this?"
Knolly's Answer #7:
When a property has two liens that are both short, you have to submit a complete short sale package to both lien holders and receive approval from both of them. It's always best to send the complete package to both at the beginning. The second lien holder shouldn't take as long to generate approval as the fu:st. The first lien holder will be the one offering funds to the second. But if you didn't include any funds for the second lien holder on your original HUD-l net sheet submitted, you will have to revise the HUD-1 net sheet and get another approval from the first lien holder at this point. To answer the question about commission, yes, they can cut your commission. Fight to keep it at 6%.

337
Question #8: "I have an FHA short sale. The buyer has asked for 3% in closing costs. What should I do?"
"I just received an offer on a short sale listing of mine. The seller has an FHA mortgage. The buyer asked for 3% in closing costs contribution. I read the FHA Mortgagee Letter and it states the following:
Change in Allowable Closing Costs - Subject to the stated ratios, HUD allows up to 1% ofthe buyer's mortgage amountfor closing costs to be included in the "Seller's Costs" on the HUD-l for all transactions that involve a new FHA -insured mortgage.
So what happens if the buyer is going conventional? Still a problem? We are in the middle of the offer right now and I do not want to make any mistakes and lose this buyer (good offer)."
Knolly's Answer #8:

Back in 2000, when the FHA PFS (pre-Foreclosure Sale) program was revised, HUD would not allow any closing costs to be rolled in. Now, they will allow up to 1% IF the buyer is getting a new FHA loan. If the buyer is not getting an FHA loan, then the buyer can NOT roll in ANY closing costs. I know this doesn't make sense, but that's the rule. Since the buyer is asking for 3% closing costs and going conventional, the conttact will NOT be approved. See if the buyer is able to re-write the offer with no closing costs rolled in. If not, you need to shop for another buyer. The rule simply doesn't make sense to me because many buyers need to roll in 3% or more towatd their closing costs. On the flip side though, I suppose HUD is trying to shy away from encouraging folks to put zero down, which some think perpetuates the mortgage crisis (and short sale crisis) we are in now.
338
Question #9: "The bank wants my seller to switch to a loan modification instead of a short sale. Is this common now?"
''1 just had a bank pull back on a short sale because they said that due to the Obatna stimulus package they were going to be able to offer the current owner a lower interest rate and make the payments more tolerable and therefore the owner was no longer interested in consummating the short sale transaction. I know that the short sale is subject to the seller's lender approval and that neither party is required to perform on the transaction up until they get final lender approval. So, it seems that the bank has the right to do this. I was just wondering if you have had it happen before. I wonder if this is something that we can '. expect to go on ill"LUe near " mture. "
KJnoUy's Answer #9:

YES, sadly, I have heard of this becoming more and more of a common occurrence-although it happens very rare]y to me. And here's why. Before we list a home, we make absolutely CERTAIN that the seller has NO DESIRE (or ability) to keep the home. If they want to keep it, I make sure they exhaust all opportunities to do so with the bank, and 'will even assist them in keeping the home (at no charge), since I believe home retention is always the best option jf it is poss1ble. I pre-qualifY my clients to make sure they don't want to do a loan modification. Many banks are getting very desperate to KEEP homeowners in their home, so they are offering unbelievable options! Banks can reduce a person's mortgage payment down 31 % to 38% of their income! It is very frustrating to put in months of work on a short sale transaction, only to have the lender come forward at the eleventh hour with a sweetheart deal. It's great for the homeowner (sometimes), but it's like a kick in the mouth to the listing agent, buyer'S agent, and the buyer.

Question #10: "I have a property that is not moving. Can I reduce the listing price to below what the lender is asking for?"
"I have a short sale property ... initially put it on market at $235,000. Offer accepted 10 days later by seller for $210,000 plus $6,000 towards buyer's closing costs. Seller's lender came back at $220,000 and paying no closing costs. Buyer walked .... Property waS put back on the market 3 weeks ago at the $220,000. The house has been shown about 20 times since, with no offers. Feedback is that house needs too much work. Is it okay to reduce listing price below the $220,000 figure OR ask buyers' agents to bring all offers? Seller's loan is conventional. They are getting out of the house due to divorce."
,-
Knolly's Answer #10:

Congrats! Looks like you've got an unofficially approved short sale! It is not uncommon for a lender to counter an offer like they did. This does NOT mean that they will not take less. You will need to INSIST that the lender accept a reasonable offer by "gently" challenging their counteroffer. Perhaps $210,000 is the magic number. Contact the loss mitigator and let him/her know that you have had LOTS of showings and no one will make an offer because of the condition of the property. Submit proof of the showings if you track them electronically. Also submit a list of needed repairs. Let the mitigator know that if they will take LESS--say $210,000, you are likely to generate another contract. If they still won't budge, you will need to submit a BPO Dispute Letter. See the example on my Toolkit CD. Works like a charm.

Question #11: "My clients have been through Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, now they want to sell their house in a short sale. What's your advice?"
''The homeowners want to sell their house via a short sale, but their bankruptcy attorney squashed that idea without explanation. These folks, who claim that they still own the house, filed Chapter 7 in November 2008, and it was discharged in April 2009. I have my own thoughts on this, but would like to hear what your experience has been in this arena. The existing loans are 80/20; both conventional Thanks."
Kinolly's Answer .#11: An active bankruptcy will KILL a short sale (as the lender cannot legally speak with you while the file is actively going thtoughthe bankruptcy pmcess). However, since the property is a secured "-Sset, in many states the bankruptcy itself does not take away the lender's rigbt to forecloseonce the file is discharged from the bankruptcy. So, while a bankruptcy may discharge the outstanding debt (deficiency) resulting from the foreclosure, a person will walk away with a foreclosute AND a bankruptcy on their credit report. That's the double kiss of death to a person's CUfl'ent and furore credit.
If a person needs to file bankruptcy to wipe out unsecured debt, it just makes more sense to do the short sale FIRST and then file bankruptcy for the other debts, that way there is no foreclosure reported on their credit. At this point, I recommend they move forward with the short sale to avoid a foreclosute on their credit report.

Question #12: "The first lien holder won't approve the short sale until my client is officially 30 days delinquent. What can I do?"
''1 currently have a client who has a first lien with American Loan Servicing (ASC) and a second lien with Litton Loan Servicing. Second lender, Litton approved the short sale with no problem. First lender ASC would not approve the short sale, as the client is not delinquent. ASC said their investor requires the client to be 30 days delinquent on their loan before they could be approved for a short sale. Client does fall into the loss of income, which they proved on their financial statement to ASC. Client did not qualify for the modification with ASC. ASC instructed client to obtain a REALTOR and do a short sale, which is what client did. Now, ASC is not approving the short sale because client is not delinquent for 30 days. I have spoken to two different managers in the loss mitigation department and they are not budging. Has you ever run into this and is there anything else that could be done other than wait for the client to be 30 days delinquent?"
Some lenders have adopted the really lame policy of reqwnng homeowners to be delinquent prior to accepting their short sale application. To me, the most proactive approach for lenders would be to ASSIST sellers who mayor may not be currently delinquent but who can prove that they will no longer be able to pay their mortgage at some verifiable time in the future. Unfortunately, unlike FHA and VA short sales, on conventional loans there are no hard and fast rules (across the board) regarding delinquency. Each lender has their criteria as it relates to this. If they are being pig-headed, then you should just have the borrower NOT make the next payment, since the lender has, in effect, made this a
342
requirement. Obviously, the missed payment would ruve a derogatory impact on your client's credit. Alternatively, the seller could wait until they truly can no longer make the payments and then apply for a short sale.
Question #13: "I'm currently processing a short sale for my client, but the lender is still sending notices about default and foreclosure. How will this affect the short sale?"
''Weare working with a seller on a short sale with first mortgage ,'lith CitiMort"aage. We have a fully executed contract (close to our CMA) and a short sale packet was faxed in 2 weeks ago. (And after several tries, they acknowledge they ruve the packet.) So far no negotiator has been assigned to the account. Yesterday, our seller received a letter from CitiMortgage stating:
This letter will sen~ as n.otice that your mO?tgage is still in default. Al/ reasonable efforts ajJ(JT:dedyou to .C1fre this default haJJe failed. Your loan has been ref=ed to the following legaljirm to begin foreclosure proceedings ... (name of attorney's in Tampa Florida) ... If you haJJe aJZ)i questiotlS regarding .foreclosure proceedings on your mortgage, please contact the .ahove attorney. '
Does this letrer ruve a direct impact on our short sale status with CitiMortgage? Should we he doing anything in response to rbi, letter? Any advioe would be appreciated!"

This is a typical situation. Keep in mind that the loss mitigation department and the collections/foreclosure departments are typically operated as separate entities in most mortgage furns. Therefore, the foreclosure process can be moving forward at the same time the short sale is being processed. Oftentimes, homeowners are getting letters from both departments.
343
The trick is to get short sale approval as soon as possible in order to stop the foreclosure. Always verify with the loss mitigation department that there is no foreclosure date set. If a date has been set, you will need to get it postponed.
Question #14: "First, what is an 'auction date'? And how do I help my buyer buy a house that is in pre-foreclosure with an auction date approaching?"
"My first question is, 'what is the auction or sale date?' And my second question ... I have a buyer who wants to purchase a house that is in pre-foreclosure and is pretty close to the auction date. The property is vacant and is not listed. I'm finding it very hard to locate the owner-though I have a name that I located in the tax records. I tried the White Pages & Zaba Search in order to locate a phone number. Needless to say, I have been unsuccessful. It looks like the owner just walked away from the property. Do you have any suggestions on how I can locate her?"

To answer your first question, the auction or sale date is the date the property is going to foreclose/be auctioned off for sale. Most properties are not purchased at auction, and end up going back to the bank. They then become REO (real estate owned ... by the bank) properties. And to your second question, if you have a title/escrow company you work closely with, get the address over to them and let them work their magic and track down an owner. You will need to work quickly! You'll have to 1) find the owner, 2) convince them to do a short sale (if it's short) and let you represent them and 3) submit a complete package along with the contract on the property. You're going to have a busy few weeks, but this is doable. Get busy!
344
Question #15: My buyer is considering a short sale that is $60,000 overpriced! What can I do?"
"I have a buyer and an executed conttact that was faxed to Countrywide on Friday. The foreclosure is set for next month. The appraisal from Countrywide is $360,000. My CMA-and I looked at every property available to me in the area-puts the home in the $299,000 to $310,000 range. Included with the offer is a dispute letter and a copy of my CMA. What can I do that will help my buyer with Countrywide? Are there any other avenues I should be taking and what should I expect from Countywide?"

Sounds like you are b>tsicaily doing the listing agent's job for him/her! Since you have already submitted the conttact WlITH the BPO dispute (good work), you will need to make sme the listing agent contacts the bank every 1 to 2 days . .A loss mitigator should already be working the file, so it shouldn't be hard to get them to agree to do another BPO or a newapprais2l. Since you don't have authority to discuss the account, you will need to let the listing agent deal with the bank direcdy. However, since it appears that you have more experience with short sales, you may have to gently educate the listing agent to keep things moving in the right direction.
Question #16: "WiU the bank honor a short sate on an investment property?"
''1 was on your short sale call today, and I have learned a fair amount already. I'm looking forward to the entire curriculum!
Will Bank of America honor a short sale on an investtnent property? My clients are heavily upside down and want out. They are afraid that Bank of America will come after their other assets (401K, etc.) before honoring the short sale. Any thoughts or suggestions?"
345

Yes, I do many short sales on investment properties. Bank of America and most other lenders will do a short sale on an investment. You will have to be careful how you word the hardship letter. The financial statement and hardship letter will detertnine if your clients qualify for the short sale or not. Besides examining the financial statement, lenders also review the borrower's bank account statement, pay srubs, and their credit report to get a complete picrure of the person's financial health. As far as their 401IZ, the lender typically won't go after that-but they might ask your clients to sign a promissory note. Depending on the client's financial picrure, some lenders may also ask for the seller to contribute some funds at closing.
Question #17: "Will the lender in a short sale agree to pay seller's closing costs?"

YES-the lender will typically pay all customary seller closing costs such as title policy, commissions, taxes due, and escrow fees. Typically, they will NOT pay for buyer closing costs such as appraisal or survey, and they oftentimes will not pay any HOA fees.
Question #18: "When should I submit the package to the second lien holder?"
"1 just started a short sale with a $480,000 first lien (Aurora) and $140,000 second lien (WAMU). My current offer submitted is $435,000. The first lien package has been submitted. When should 1 submit the second lien package? Thanks again for all of your help."
346

Wow-that's quite short. You should submit both short sale packages to both lien holders at the same time. The first lien holder will likely only offer a max of $7,000 (5%) to the second lien holder ... and possibly less.
Question #19: "My clients are afraid their lender will pursue a 'deficiency judgment' for the difference on the short sale. What should I tell them?"
''1 need your professional advice again. I'm working a deal with Countrywide. It's a first and second. I have approvals for both liens. Only took 8 weeks to get these! Yikesl My client, the homeowner, is concerned about the second paragraph in which Countrywide states that they may pw:sue a deficiency judgment fo~ the difference. rve asked Countrywide to amend or omit this vtlbiage as we are requiring Countrywide to accept the short sale and forgive all the difference. The negotiator said that this is the only document approved by their legal department. Period. My client is now scared to proceed with the sale and I'm not sure how to advise her., other than to seek an attorney's advice. I'm guessing you've come across many short sales involving Countrywide. Any suggestions?"
KnoUy's Answer #19:

What is your client's recourse? If your client refuses to sign, what will they do instead? Allow the property to foreclose? If it forecloses they will still remain liable for the debt. My advice to them is to SIGN the agreement! Once the property closes, the bank will be left with an UNSECURED amount. As it is, the lender has a SECURED note for the full amount. Often, lenders will not amend their boilerplate language. It's "take it, or leave it." I advise they take it.

Question #20: "Our short sellers are changing their minds and pursuing loan modifications in the middle of the short sale process. What can we do to prevent this?"
"It was great meeting you at Masterminds last week! Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge on short sales with the group! Your streamlined syst=s are amazing and your video is great! I wanted to get your opinion/insight on something ... In South Florida, we are experiencing about 80% of all MLS sales as distressed property. Our sales office has well over 400 short sale listings and the balance REOs. One of the challenges we have run into recendy is loan modifications. We had three transactions last week die because, at the eleventh hour after the short sale was approved and accepted, the seller changed their mind and decided they would like to attempt a loan modification. That killed the short sale right in its tracks. The lender closed the short sale file and opened a loan mod without guarantee it would go through. Have you had this happen and if so, do you have anything built into your system to lessen or eliminate it from happening?"

Before we list a home we make absolutely CERTAlN that the seller has NO DESIRE (or ability) to keep the home. If they want to keep it, I make sure they exhaust all opportunities to do so with the bank, and I will even assist them in keeping the home (at no charge), since I believe home retention is always the best option if it is possible.
If you don't pre-qualify your clients thoroughly, this will continue to be a probl=! Review what I say about this in Day 2 of 7 Dqys to Success with Short Safes.

Question #21: "How much should we pay the processing staff in our new short sale processing company?"
"I plan to join a few other partners and start a short sale processing company. The company would do all the short sale processing and negotiation of the short sales that I bring and a few other REALTORS only in my local area. We don't want to get too big. Can you please share how you structure your short sale processing company as far as the going rate you pay the negotiator/short sale processor staff who calls the banks on your behalf? Based upon your knowledge, do you do an hourly rate or a contact rate/flat fee based upon each approved short sale?"
I<Jnolly's Answer #21 :

Consider one of two different plans:
Plan #c Pay a processor $8 to $12 per hour or more. No

compensation per file, just an bourly wage. Of course the going rate is different depending on your area, but that's a good Texas rate.
Plan #2: Pay a pmcessor a flat monthly fee, say $1,200 to $1,500
per month PLUS $300 to $500 per file dosed. Each processor should be able to handle 30 to 40 :files, depending on their hours. Really efficient prooessorscan handle more. Por more detailed information on setting up a processing company, refer to the Bonus Section.
Question #22: "Who should I recruit as processors for my team and how should I pay them?"
"I have several related questions for you ... Wbat type of people do you find to be your best processors? Out-of-work loan processors, exREALTORS, ex-mortgage broker'S, stay-at-home moms? Do you have the processors work from a home office or come into your office? Based upon your experience, which one has worked best: the hourly rate
349
or monthly flat fee plus bonus on closed file? If you pay the hourly rate, how do you have them track their hours? Also do you have them as independent contractors or employees?"

"I have had the most success with ex-business professionals who want to work only about 25 to 30 hours per week. They are very reliable and can work from home. Right now, my team works from our sales center's main office, where I rent an office. I like this option for the synergy. Before that, they worked from my home office and they've also worked from their home offices. Any way will work. The same team members have been with me since I began working short sales. My short sale admin staff are all "employees," and I pay them hourly. My folks are on the honor system. They actually work more hours than they bill me for! If you truly want to "lead with revenue," a "per file" option is best. However, many won't want to work that way. It takes a certain type of person to want to work on commission. I think the independent contractor route is better if you can structure it correctly and if your setup will legally allow you to do it. Ask your CPA how you should structure this and how to set things up in compliance with the IRS! You can have your independent contractors start their own sole proprietorship or LLC. Then you will pay their company a transaction fee per closing. But watch out! You don't want them getting the idea they can do it on their own (without you!)
Question #23: "The second lien holder wants 10%. How can I get them to negotiate?"
"I have an approved short sale through the first lien holder (Citi) and they are willing to give the second lien holder (National City) $5,000, which I was told is the maximum allowed from Freddie Mac. The
350
second came back and they said they wanted a minimum of 10%, which is $17,000. How can I get them to move from that position?"

Have the first lien holder (Citi) put in writing that the max they will pay is $5,000. Then send that letter to the second. You may need to speak to a supervisor at the second lien holder's department if they don't take it. Otherwise, your seller may have to accept a promissory note for the $12,000 difference. Keep negotiating! Get me an update on how this
turns out.
Question #24.: "What do you tell the lender when you lose your buyer?"
"What do you do, in terms of notifying the lender, when the buyer withclxaws after the package has been submitted to the lender?"
IKnoUy's Answer #24:

Having worked short sales for more than 6 years, I have come to ASSUlME that the first buyer will back out. In fact, sometimes, the first TWO contracts will fall because the buyers get tired of waiting. If you notify the lender that the buyer has walked, then the loss mitigator will promptly (and happily) CLOSE the file. Then you will have to start FROM SCRATCH with a new contract and short sale package. y:tkes!!! Therefore, my strategy is to CONTINUE allowing the lender to move forward with the short sale process based on the contract they have. I do NOT notify them that the deal has busted. Meanwhile, I promptly place the property back on the market and attract another buyer. ONCE the file is approved, I simply inform the bank that the names on the contract will change. Sometimes other terms will change slightly as well (sale price, etc), in which case, a new HUD-l is submitted.
351
The bank doesn't care WHO is buying tbe house, so if tbey simply need to change tbe buyers name on tbe approval letter-it's no big deal. This strategy is much better tban having tbe bank continue to close and re-open files. This will save you weeks, if not montbs, of time.
Question #25: "What do you think about allowing buyers to put in offers with no escrow down?"
''In Florida, often agents do not have tbeir buyers put any escrow down until tbe bank gives tbeir approval for tbe short sale. Wbat are your tboughts on this process? Often buyers are putting in offers all over town because tbey have no skin in tbe game."

If you have a fully-executed contract, you need to collect earnest/ escrow money. Of course, tbe conttact will be subject to seller's lender approval of a short sale, but escrow money should accompany tbe contract and it should be receipted by tbe company or firm handling escrow. If you are submitting an unexecuted offer, earnest money required. (See Day 5 for more information.)

Question #26: "My FHA short seller never filled out the Application to Participate Form. What should I do?"
"Regarding tbe Application to Participate for FHA loans ... Wbo sends tbat to tbe seller? Do we as tbe agent or does tbe lender? The reason I ask ... I have a FHA short sale and my seller never filled out tbat form."

The Application to Participate Form HUD-90036 should be filled out by tbe seller and sent witb tbe short sale package (for FHA loans only). You will need to send your seller tbe form to fill out. You can find tbe form on tbe 7 Days to Success with Short Safes Toolkit CD or at www.hud.gov.
352
The seller cannot be approved for an FHA short sale without this form in the package. Not including the form with your original package could hold up your package from even being processed-resulting in weeks of delay.
Question #27: "What documentation is necessary for a Loan modification?"

"This may be out of the parameter for this course but, if your client wants to apply for a loan modification with current the lender verses doing a short sale, what information should they provide to their lender (for example, financials, hardship, etc)? I would like to be able to advise them on this issue if possible."
KnoUy's Answer #27.:

If a person wants to do a loan modification, the infoffi1ation they send for a 10= modification is very sinlllar to that which would be supplied for a sbort sale. They main difference is that the loan mod info must
prove that the seller CAN afford to keep the home, where-as the short sale documents will endeavor to prove just the opposite. The main dUng lenders look at on a loan mod is the nnancial worksheet. The seller must show that they now have mo~e income than expenses 3n order to qualify. I've helped several clients (who I thought should keep their home), get loan mods. The seller will need to contact their lendcr and let the lender know that they wish to do a loan modification. The lender will then send them an application. Many lenders now have a loan modification option on their website where the homeowner can apply for assistance online.
353
Question #28: "I'm working a short sale on an investment property and the lender has denied the short sale unless my client signs a promissory note. What can I do?"
''We had a bad experience with the 30-day delinquency 'rule' for a Countrywide short sale. Our seller's property was an investment property. He would 'qualify' for a short sale (according to the negotiator) once he was 30 days past due. So, he stopped making payments. Once he was delinquent, we found out that Countrywide had mortgage insurance on a second loan with them (it was an SO-l 0-10 loan-SO to the first, 10 to the second, and 10 down). The mortgage insurance company then denied the short sale because it was an investment property (and they are trying for leverage to get him to sign a promissory note)."
KnoUy's Answer #28:

Investment properties are typically "trickier" than owner-occupied. I've had good success with mortgage insurance companies, as they typically have more of a vested interest in mitigating their losses than the lenders do. But sometimes they will hold out for that promissory noteespecially on investment properties.
In lieu of foreclosure, I recommend the seller sign a promissory note. (See Question #2 above.)
Question #29: "What do you think about more and more lenders reserving the right to pursue deficiency judgments after the short sale?"
''1 just want your take on something ... It seems as if all the approval
letters I'm getting nowadays are purposefully not specific regarding deficiency judgments. I have been successful in the past in negotiating this into the letters. But for the past couple of months, most of the big lenders I'm dealing with are refusing to change the verbiage. They are saying, 'we can't change that. It's been approved by our legal department.' I'm talking specifically about Countrywide/BofA, Chase,
354
and Citi. None are guaranteeing that they won't go after the clients for deficiency. Are you finding this to be the case nowadays? Are we finding a new 'status quo'?"

Yes, you've hit on something here. Here's my long-winded reply to your simple question: Yes, I have noticed that some lenders are reserving the right to pursue the client. For example, BofA's approval letter states, "BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP and/or its investors may pursue a deficiency judgment for the difference in the payment received and the total due, uo!less agteed othe='ise or prohibited by law, if the short sale closes on the loan referenced above." In practice though, I've never seen a bank go after a client for the balance after a short sale is finalized. Of course, there isn't anything that will prevent the lender's pursuit EXCEPT the language (terms) in the short sale approval letter. Banks are in a very vul.neraHe position right now. Their hacks are a"o-ainst the wall amdthey don't Like it. Short sales are becoming more prevalent and although they do save banks money, no one likes to lose. While there are many homeowners who are being helped through a time of crisis, some homeowners aJre taking advantage of the system (and getting in on the frenzy). My guess (or theory) is that some banks w:illLikely want to investi"o-ate (or audit) their files in future years to tty and find any short sales transactions that they deem were illegitimate (not at arms length). For example, they can easily look up a property that sold short 4 years ago, and see who currently owns it, etc. If their investigation reveals that the owner manipulated the system (perhaps a relative of the homeowner purchased the home, which is a big no-no), they will probably tty to get a deficiency judgment.
355
As I stated earlier, banks are being very quiet on tbis issue right now, and are not pursuing folks currently. But since so many are now reserving that right, it makes one wonder what their motivation is. Bear in mind that ultimately the BANK has the power. The reality is that if the seller does NOT agree to the short sale approval terms and their home forecloses instead, they will still likely be subject to a deficiency judgment AND ruin their credit. Let's say you were to go to your local bank and take out a business loan for $20,000. After 2 years of paying on time, you fell on hard times. If you went to your banker and asked him to have his institution forgive the note, you'd probably be laughed out of his office (or thrown out). If by some unknown miracle he did agree to forgive the debt, you certainly couldn't dictate the terms!
In my view, the greatest tbing the bank does in a short sale is release their lien from the property. Without that lien release, the person could NOT sell their home. If the bank ever comes back for a deficiency, it will be an unsecured debt at that time.
Assuming that a person has no other option but to sell their home, my advice to them is to take what they can get.
Question #30: "Will FHA approve a buyer loan for a short sale property that needs plumbing repairs?"
''1 showed a buyer a short sale today which needed plumbing repairs. We know that the bank will not pay for such repairs. The buyer is going FHA, and said that he believes that FHA will not approve a purchase where plumbing work is needed. I can't irn"t,oine how that could be correct. So, I'm just putting tbis out to you for a quick answer."
KnoUy's Answer #30:

This is a great question for a lender (loan officer). Yes, it is true that when a buyer is getting an FHA or VA loan there are stricter guidelines regarding the property condition. For example, if a property needs a new
356
roof or foundation repairs, it may not be eligible for these governmentfunded loans. It would depend on the severity of the plumbing repairs needed. FHA may not grant a loan on a property needing major plumbing repairs. They will typically require that major issues be fixed prior to closing. One alternative is to have your buyer apply for an FHA 203(k) loan, which will allow the borrower to get a loan amount that includes the cost of repairs and escrows the funds needed toward repairs. For more information on this option go to www.hud.gov.
Question #31: "Shou:ldlsend the first lien holder's approval 'letter to the second lien holder?"
"I wanted to know if you ever send over the first lien holder's approva! letter to the second lien holder to get the second lien holder to move quicker for an "pproval. "What is your typical procedure vvith first and second lien holder letters? I don't want to disclose anything I shouldn't. 'lb.anks."
KnoUy's Answer #31:

You've touched a nerve and opened a wound. Darn you! Can you believe that in years gone by i[ NEVER had to deal with second lien holders??? If there were two liens on a property, the first lien holder did the courtesy of negotiating DIRECTLY with the second. This made lots of sense because the primary lender has much more power than lowly or me. That's back when loss mitigators were taking long lunches, answering every phone call, and waiting for something to do! How spoiled I was! Okay, enough reminiscing. Yes, it is always a good idea to send the second lien holder the approval from the first, and visa versa. Oftentimes, I get the second lien approved before the first, and I'll send that approval to the first lien holder. Of course, this is typically only a good idea ONCE the file has been
Real World Questions and Answe~ about Short Sales
357
assigned to a loss mitigator. Otherwise it will confuse the heck out of the front-end recipient and will end up in the black hole of nothingness. (That's the place many of our files end up, and we have to fax them over and over again). When one lien holder sees that the other has approved the short sale, it may prompt them to react in kind.
Question #32: "How do I get a federal tax lien removed?"

"We have a short sale with a federal tax lien of $93,000. If there is obviously no equity in the home, how can we get the Feds to take the lien off so this can close? The lender has agrees to approve the short sale if we can get this lien off."

In cases where the homeowner owes federal income taxes, the IRS may place a federal tax lien on the property. Actually, the lien covers all of the person's property including the home. Typically, you can convince the IRS to remove the tax lien from the property so that you can sell it. (See Day 4 for information on how to get the tax lien removed.)
Question #33: "The second lien holder will not talk to us. What do we do?"
''1 have a short in progress that has Chase as the first lien holder and
Bank of Florida (a local bank) as the second. The second bank will not negotiate with us. They will only talk to the seller. We have had many conversations expressing how the seller has selected us and signed an authorization for us to represent him. Still they will not deal with us. We then had the seller deal with them, and he had even offered to pay half of the loan on a promissory note. They will not deal-it is all or nothing for them! The second lien is a home equity loan that the seller took out to payoff his first wife in a divorce for her share of the home-so it is quite large. Now he is remarried and the second lien
358
holder feels his new wife should help him payoff this debt. Any suggestions? He was served witb a summons last night for tbe balance of tbat loan. They are playing bard ball."

Banks view home equity loans quite differently. Essentially a person has already squeezed tbe equity out of tbe home and used up tbe money. Therefore, banks take a very different approach and tend to want to recover as much of the loan as tbey =. Unlike mortgage lenders who are often eager to settle, home equity lenders operate more like brass
tack~
collections agencies.
When you have seconds that are home equity loans, they are very difficul.t (or impossible) to deal with. As you know, you need tbe cooperation of the lender in order to successfully complete a short sale. If they insist 011. dealing with the homeowner directly, do a three-way ca1! with you on the phone witbthe seller. Back in the 80s and! 90s, most banks didn't want to do short sales at all. They were very reluctant. Thett attitude was "PAY UP or we will FORECLOSE." It sounds like this hank is stillliviog in tbe past. That's ashame. See if you can i:alk to tbe president of tbe bank. The bank will have to be convinced mat they will lose it all if tbey don't play. UnfOr1:U!lately, with smaller banks, I have had them foreclose instead of compromise. Very bull-headed I know, but tbere is notbing you can do if tbe nut won't crack

Question #34: "This one sounds too complicated. Can I help this guy?"
"Knolly, I got the following email from a prospect last night:
I am currently considering selling my home as a short sale but have a few questions. I have a first mortgage with BofA for $175,000 and a second with Chase for $50,000. I recently filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and was discharged in March. I have been on a repayment plan with BofA since the bankruptcy and have contacted Chase to setup the same arrangements-however, after faxing my financial information to Chase's loss mitigation specialist I have not heard from him in almost two months. The second loan balance does not show on any of my credit reports, and I have not been receiving any monthly statements. Did this loan get written off on my bankruptcy or is Chase ignoring me? I've emailed the loss mitigation specialist a number of times and they go through-but still no response."
Can I hdp this guy? He's already made a deal with his first lien holder to repay, and I have no idea what happened with the second. Now he wants to see his home and he is upside down. It doesn't sound like I can help him from what I understand. I would really appreciate your input on this as I would hate to give him false information either way. Thank you so much in advance! Take care!"

Yes, you can help him. As far as the first lien holder (Chase) not contacting him back, this is VERY common. Homeowners who contact the bank directly are often placed on the back burner. The lender considers that the seller is SERIOUS once they hire an agent, and they are given more priority.
360
Once you get the listing, you can have your title/escrow company run a title report and see what liens are showing up. It is not likely that the second has released their lien, but it is possible. Regardless, since the bankruptcy has been completed (and is not active), if the prospect qualifies for a short sale, you can do it. NO problem.
Question #35: "Can a short seller's roommate buy the property? Will banks allow that?"
[Continuation of Question #34J "Okay, Knolly, I have some more information and yet ANOTHER question! So, it rums out the guy who contacted me is living in the home with a friend who owns the home, who happens to be the one that filed for ronkruptcy. BofA (the first) has set up a payment plan to help the homeowner get caught up by November, but they also rolled in some back pmperty taxes so the payments are going to be increasing even more shortly. And it sounds .like he will not be able to make the new payment. So doing a short sale is definitely an option. Here is tile tricky part, the roommate who does NOT own the home wants to be the buyer! He sounds like he's tryillg to lure me in by saying that if I listed and sold the home, I would get the full commission. Okay, sounds great. My concern is how would this fly? I know that you're not allowed to sell the property to a family member, which they are not, but I'm assuming the owner would still be living in the home, just as a roommate/renter this time. So the two friends' mles would be reverse<i Do banks consider this the same as if a family member were to purchase the home? And how would this be disclosed ... and what needs to be disclosed? Should I contact a real estate attorney to find out what's legal in my state (CA) or are the rules regarding short sales nationwide for the most part? I know I can definitely pursue the short sale, I just don't know that it would be proper to allow the roommate to be the buyer. I don't want to be tticky."

Thanks for keeping things interesting! Banks want short sale transactions to be "at arm's length." The problem with that is that different banks have different definitions of what that means. Here's how HUD defines "arm's length":
'The sale must be an 'arm's length' transaction; the buyer cannot be a member of your familY, business associate, or other favored partY. No hidden terms or special understandings can exist betweenyou, the buyer, appraiser, sales agent or mortgagee. "
Having said that, it does sound as though this will be an impossible deal; however, that is only a likely assumption. The bank MAY still approve this transaction. The issue for you will be whether or not it is worth your time and effort to pursue, given that such a transaction may not meet the arm's length definition of the lender, and they may not grant a vanance. Rather than seeking legal advice (although this is a viable option), I think the best and simplest way for you to protect yourself legally is to provide FULL DISCLOSURE. It's that simple. If you decide to work this one, simply write the following in the special provisions section of the contract
"Special Disclosure: The buyer of this property is currently the seller's friend and roommate."
Working deals like this MAY seem like a waste of time, but I have always enjoyed working the more challenging ones, as they provide loads of experience. Again, if you go forward with this one, set the seller's expectation. Let the seller know that you will be providing the bank full disclosure and that this deal may not be approved. Run this one by your broker as well. If the seller does NOT agree with disclosing that the buyer is his friend and roommate, then WALK AWAY.

Question #36: "Will a lender require financial information from a co-borrower if that person has abandoned the home?"
"At one time, I thought I had heaxd that if one of the parties on title and on the loan abandons (leaves) the property, then the shorr sale lender should not require any information including financial information on that person. Example: If the husband has abandoned (left) the home ... Would the shorr sale lender require financial information fmm the husband?"
Knolly's Answer #36.:

If one of the co-borrowers has abandoned the relationship, I recommend that when the financial worksheet is filled out, only the income of the remaining borrower be tilled in. Keep in mind that BOTH parties will have to agree to the shorr sale and sign the contract and closing documents, etc. So you will need to make sure all parties are agreeable. If there is a divorce that has taken place already., get a copy of the divorce decree so that you can see which spouse was awarded the home. The party who was awaxded the property will have to cooperate with you in order to successfully complete the sho.rr sale. Be sme to explain in the hardship letter that there 1S a divorce, separation, etc. Ultimately, the lender will determine if they require the information from both borrowers. If they do, you will need to make S\1J:e tloe loss mitigator understands that there is only one contributor.

Question #37: "What do you recommend homeowners write in their hardship letters?"
''1 just received a hardship letter that was handwritten and four pages
long! Is this good or bad? What do you recommend the homeowners write out for your 'few sentences?'?"
KnoUy's Answer #37:

I never give my clients the assignment of writing their own hardship letter, and I never allow them to write their own. During the Short Sale Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, I gather all of the information I need in order to write out the hardship letter for my clients. The bank simply wants to know what their hardship is and why they can't make their payments. As I point out in Day 3, drawing up a long-winded hardship letter can do them much more harm than good.

Are you facing a medical situation?" Prospect: "Oh, no, no. There's nothing medical. See my wife and I ... she tost ..." [So now we know he's married . ] Knolly: "Oh, okay, you and your wife ...

De yeu think you're going to get back en your feet anytime soon?" Prospect: "Well, no, 1 don't think so because ... I lost my job last year, and I had to take a different job ... a step down ... in my new company." Knolly: "Well, have you all ready talked to your lender about this?" Prospect: "No. I mean, I called and they won't work with me." Knolly: "Who's your lender?" Prospect: "Well, it's Countrywide."
77
Knolly: "Oh, yeah, Countrywide. Okay. So, is it only Countrywide, or do you have another lender too?" Prospect: "Oh, yeah, we've got two." Knolly: "Okay. You've got another one. Maybe this one will be more receptive. Who are they?" Prospect: 'Oh, that's AmTrust." Knolly: "AmTrust. Okay. Well, now much do you owe on those loans?" Prospect: "Uh. I really don't know." Knolly: "Okay. Well, how much did you pay for the home?" Prospect: "Well, I don't even remember what we paid. " Knolly: "Okay. Well, you know, that's not uncommon. How much do you pay each month?" Prospect: "About $1,350 a month." Knolly: "So, let me ask you this, Frank. Right now with your current situation ... You say you're behind four months, right?" Prospect: "No, no! It's more like two months ... only two months right now." Knolly: "So, you know what, Frank? Your situation sounds very similar to something that happened to me. And it's one of the reasons why I advertise that I help people with foreclosures ... because of a situation that happened in my life. Have you got a quick minute? Let me just tell you about it." Prospect: "Sure. What happened?"
78
Knolly: [after personal story] "Look, I want you to understand what a short sale is, and what it's all about. So, I'm going to send you to a website that gives you more information. In fact, let me give you the website right now. It's www.5hort5ale5ite.com . " Prospect: "What is that, again?"
(your clien't website)
Knolly: .. www.ShortSaleSite.com. That's going to explain to you what a short sale is ... because you're probably wonde,ring how it works." Prospect: "Oh, no. We know all about the short sate ... " KnoUy: "Oh? Okay. Weill, ilook at it anyway. And (we) let me just teU you in a nutshell what I do: I speciaH~e in negotiating with your Lender to allow you to sen your home ... so that you don't have to bring any money to closing.

You'll learn how I do this. But, for now, what I want to do, because I've got a short amount of time, I want to ask you a few more questions to see if you qualify for the short sale program ...

December 21, 2011
/ / LETTER OF HARDSHIP
This letter is written to explain my current financial situation and the approval of a short sale of my property at 5020 A Street, Sacramento, CA 95819. Due to my degenerative medical condition I was forced to change jobs and move locations, and the rental income does not cover the mortgage expense. I was diagnosed with a disease called Friedreich's ataxia (FA) at age 17. FA is a degenerative, life-shortening neuromuscular disease. The degeneration of my condition has forced me to change jobs, which has forced a move to Pennsylvania. Previously, I had a job as a civil engineer at a firm in Sacramento. My job required me to be in the field the majority of the time. The progression of my disease made it unsafe for me to perform my job responsibilities. I now work for an organization called the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance which is based in Pennsylvania. I have stayed current with my mortgage payments since the mortgage began in 2005 but now with the relocation, I am unable to meet my financial obligations in relation to this property. Enclosed are documents for the past 2 months to explain the financial situation I am currently going through. As you can see, if this offer is not accepted I will not be able to meet any of my financial obligations. I am embarrassed that I am in this current situation and would like to avoid further financial difficulties of continuing negative credit and mounting financial obligations. Enclosed is proof of my medical condition, and a complete short sale package. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,
Kyle

This report mayor may not reflect all holdings or transactions, their values, costs, penalties, surrender fees, charges, or proceeds. Accordingly, this report should not be used as a source document for tax preparation or other purposes. Only Official tax forms should be used when preparing tax returns. Please consult with your own tax advisor for specific tax advice. The Northwestern Mutual Ufe Insurance Company may pay dividends, which are an allocation of divisible surplus to a policyowner. Each year, the Board of Trustees, in its sale discretion, determines whether a part of the Company's surplus can be distributed to policyowners in the form of a dividend. The Board decides which policies. if any, should get a dividend and the amount of the dividend. There is no guaranteed method or formula forthe determinat"lon or allocation of this surplus. Accordingly, the Company's approach is subject to change. Neither the existence nor the amount of a dividend is guaranteed on any policy in any given year. Some policies may not receive any dividends in a particular year or years even while other policies receive dividends. Depending on the terms of the policy and personal choice, the dividend may be used to purchase paidup additional insurance, used to reduce premium payments, left to accumulate at interest, or taken in cash. The dividend, if any, is payable on the policy anniversary. Dividend scale changes, loans and surrenders or withdrawals will affect policy values. Changing dividend usage on your policy may cause total insurance protection to be reduced. This report consolidates your brokerage, variable annuity, and investment advisory holdings. However, the investment asset group(s) that this report depicts mayor may not be managed by NMIS or NMWMC as investment advisers. Keep in mind that NMIS and NMWMC are only investment advisers as to those assets that are within investment advisory programs. Because this report consolidates different types of investment assets, it should not be used as the basis for making asset allocation or rebalancing decisions for your investment accounts. Please refer to official performance reports (described below), account statements or other advisory account speciflc reports when considering rebalancing, asset allocation or other changes to your investment account holdings. Investment products are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested. The Northwestern Mutual Signature Portfolios program is a fee-based advisory program offered by NMIS and NMWMC. The Northwestern Mutua! Signature Choice, Signature Annuities and Signature Managed Accounts programs are feebased advisory programs offered by NMWMC. NMWMC is a limited purpose savings bank. Investment products and advisory accounts offered by NMWMC are not insured by the FDIC, are not deposits or other obligations of and are not guaranteed by NMWMC or its affiliates and, like all investment products, are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested. To help you see how your financial assets are currently distributed, we classified your investment assets among the following classes: cash, fixed income, commodities, real estate securities, int'l emerging mkts, int'l developed mkts, US equity - small cap, US equity mid cap, and US equity. large cap. This report will categorize your account holdings in slightly different asset class groupings than the NMIS and NMWMC investment adviSOry quarterly performance or other reports. Any variable annuities or variable life insurance policies you own are included in this breakdown by primary asset class, depending upon the subaccounts used within those contracts or policies. These values reflect the gross contract or gross policy values without accounting for surrender fees or adjustments for unpaid premium, if applicable. The underlying mutual funds in which variable annuity and variable life subaccounts invest are not available for direct investment. The Investment/Variable Product Holdings by Client section of this report reflects only the primary asset class for a particular security. Mutual funds, exchange traded funds and other securities may have holdings in multiple asset classes. Although only the primary asset class is reported in this section, in the presentation of your asset allocation in the Ovelifiew - Financial Assets section, the value for these securities is split across the appropriate asset classes. Therefore, for example. a fund that has a primary asset class of US equity Large Cap and a secondary asset class of Int'l Developed Mkts will show only US equity - Large Cap in the Investment/Variable Product Summary section while the dollar value of that position will be split across Large Cap and International in the Ovelifiew - Financial Assets. Your Financial Representative can provide information on how a specific fund is designated across the various asset classes. Negative cash/margin positions included in this report are related to either margin orto Loan Advance balances. Loan Advance borrowings have limitations on permissible uses of those proceeds. For more information, consult with your Financial Representative. For information about your holdings, including fees and conflicts of interest, see the applicable client agreement, program disclosure brochure and prospectus or similar disclosure document for the variable policy, contract, mutual fund, other security or product. NMIS and NMWMC, as subsidiaries of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, are under common control with a number of other financial services companies. This affiliation offers many benefits and resources to NMIS and NMWMC, but also may create potential conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest also may arise as a result of agreements between NMIS and third parties. For information on these conflicts, please see "What Every Investor Should Know About Mutual Funds" available through your Financial Representative or online at http://www.nmfn.com/tn/aboutnet-nmis keypoints. Direct to Fund Accounts: Some investment assets included in this report may be "Direct to Fund" accounts, which means those assets are maintained and controlled by a mutual fund family or its transfer agent, not NMIS or its clearing broker, Pershing. You can determine whether your investment assets are Direct to Fund accounts by reviewing the "Fund Family" column in the Investment/Variable Products Summary section of this report. Accounts that have an entry in the "Fund Family" column are Direct to Fund accountS. For Direct to Fund accounts, this report reflects holdings and valuation information received from the mutual fund family. Northwestern Mutual does not audit or verify such information. Please review the account statements you receive from the mutual fund family for complete information on these assets.

NMIS is a member of SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation), which protects the value of securities in customers' NM1S accounts up to $500,000
(including up to $250,000 for claims for cash). Direct to Fund assets held by outside mutual fund families are not covered by NMIS' SIPC coverage. In
addition, NMIS' clearing firm, Pershing LLC (Pershing), carries excess SIPC insurance coverage. Assets held at a custodial institution other than Pershing or other assets "not held" at Pershing, including but not limited to Direct to Fund assets, are not protected by the excess SIPC insurance policy. Information about SIPC is available upon request, or at www.northwesternmutual.com and at www.sipc.org. For answers to any questions regarding an outside mutual fund family's SIPC coverage, you may either contact your Financial Representative or the appropriate mutual fund family, or refer to the mutual fund family's statement regarding SIPC membership. SlPC coverage does not protect against potential losses due to market fluctuation. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in such funds.

SHORT SALE INFORMATION AND ADVISORY

(C.A.R. Fonn SSIA, Revised 11/11)
This Short Sale Informalion and Advisory is imamled to give general information regarding short salas, their palenlial impacl, and the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved. It is not intended .s legal advice for any particular property owner or buyer. Seller and Buyer should consult with their own professional advisors for legal, tax, credit and personal advice. Real estate brokers cannot and will not provide such advice. 1. WHAT IS A SHORT SALE: A short sale is the name used to describe a real estatetransaCllon where the sellers len<ler(s) agree to allow the property owner 10 sell the property for les. than the amount of Ihe loan(s) secured by the property. The consenl of the sellor's lender(s) is necessary because wilhoul it Ihere woul<i not be enough money from the sale to pay off the lender{s} in full and to pay other ca.t. of lhe .ale. As a resull, the len<ler's lien(s) would remain on tnle, and the seller would be unable to transfer tale 10 the buyer free of monetary liens. (Properties thai are worth less than Ihe amount owed to the secured lender(s) are often
2.
referred to as being "underwater'" or distressed properties). AL TERNATlVES TO A SHORT SALE: OWners of distressed or underwater properties are faced with dlfflcuH choices that could have finanCial and emotional consequences. Any of the following Or other alternatives potentially have negative tax or credit consequences, or both, for the owner: A. A loan modification is an arrangement between a borrower and a lendei'. It can involve a reduction in the interest rate on the
loan. a defermenl in payments on the loan, an extension of time to pay back. the loan, a reduction in pnncipal of the loan, a combination of these possibilfties, or other changes to Ihe repayment plan. A loan modification requires the consent of both
lender and borrower.
B. A foreclo&ure Is a legal process through which the lender acquires title to the property from a borrower who has slopped
malting payments on a loan. The lender can foreclose Whether or not the borrower con.ents. A dQQd in liau of foreclosure occurs when the borrower offers to transfer the property to the tender, in lieu of the lender having to go through the foreclosure process. and the lender agrees to accept title to the property from the borrower and forgives the debt. A deed in lieu of foreclosure requires the consent of both lender and borrower. D. Bankruptcy i$ a legal aClion typically flied by a borrower to have debt(s) discharged. An automatic stay occurs as soon as a borrower files bankruptcy, staying all actions against the borrower. While a petition for bankruptcy can have the effect of delaying a foredos:ure, it does not necessarily prevent a foreclosure from eventually occurring. No lender consent i$ required for a borrower to file bankruptcy. 3. LENDER AGREEMENT TO SHORT SALE; In order for a short sale to be completa<l, the lender(s}, at a minimum, must agree to release the property from the lender(s} Uen(s) to allow the sale. The lender(s} mayor may not agree to ra<luce the amount owed to satisfy the deb\. If not, the lender(s) may continue to pursue the borrower for payment of the balance of the debt Prior to granting approval of the sale, the lender(s) may require the borrower to disclose all of the borrower's assets. They may 'equire that the borrower liquidale olhor assets. They may require thai the borrower sign an agreement to repay some or aU of Ihe debt at some laler time. They mey require that the borrower secure the unpaid debt with other sets owned by 1I1e borrower. Additionally. they will generally ,-$qUire that the transaCllon be arm's length, and that all terms of any benefit conferred on the seller be fully disclosed and that Ihe Seller cannot stay in the Property following Ihe Sale. Finally, many filiit lien holders wililimil the amount they will allow to be paid to a second lienhOlder, further complicating negotiation" for the short sale. The lender will usually submij a "term sheet" to the borrower indicating the term. to which lender(s) will agree. If the Seller and Buyer do not modify their contract to comply with the lender(s) terms, the lender(s) may not permH the short sale to proceed. Selier I. strongly advised to seek legal and tax advice regarding review of the term .heet. Brokers cannot ano will not give legal or lax advice on the lender's term sheet or it. effect on the Buyer and Seller's agreement or on the consequences to Buyers and Seller. should they proceed to clos". There Is no assurance that once thelender(s) have begun short sale negotiations, they will discontinue the foreciosure process. 4. SELLER'S CONTINUING LIABILITY ON THE DEBT: Many borrowers who attempt a short sale are concerned with whether th.. borrower is released from any further liability to Ihe lender(s) or whether the lender can pursue the borrower for any unpaid balance of the debt. Some ",fer to conlinuing liability as a deficiency judgement. Generally speaking. a deficiency judgement is the right of a lender to pursue the borrower for the difference between the amount the lender receives and the amount the borrower Owes on the debt. Deficiency judgements in C~lifornia are prohibited in certain circumstances .

A. Short Sale:
1. Beginning July 15, 2011, Code of Civil Praoedure 580e any lender who approves a short sale is not permitted to seek or collecl a deficiency against the borrower ff Ihe loan is secured by a Trusl Deed on residential property containing 14 units. This law may not be waived. The July 15, 2011 law does nol apply to (I) lienholders on other types of property, or (ii) a borrower who has comm~ted fraud or waste or (iii) borrowers who are oorporations, lim~ed liability companies, or limited partnerships.
Prior to this I~w coming in10 effect, from January 1, 2011 the restriction on lenders seeking deficiencies for approved short
sales only applied to lenders holding a first trust deed on residential 1-4 un~. 2, For properties or borrowers to whictl CCP 580e does not apply, some lenders in negotiating a short sale will want Ihe owner 10 sign a note for Ihe balance of the unpaid prinolpal. Other lenders will release the li.n only but not forgive the underlying debt. Some lenders will "reserve their rights." Thus, in these sitUations whether lender retain. tho right to pursue a deficiency
following a short sale becomes a negotiable term for each sale. 3. Sellar is encouraged to (i) obtain a written agreement from lender(s) or other applicable lien holders addressing whether and to what extent Seiler will be released from any monetary or other claim, obligation, or liability upon approval of the .hort s.le, an<1 (;;) have that written agreement reviewed by an attorney, CPA or other appropriate professional of seller's choosing, B. Foreclosure 1, Purcha.... Money Loans; Loans given by lenders to purchase 1-4 unit properties, one of which will be occupied by the borrower, and sellar-financed purchases are subject to "purchase money" anti-defidaJicy protection rules. Generally, this means th.t the lender oannot pursue the borrower for any deficiency after the property is foreclD$ild upon by the selier or lender, whether the $eller or lender uses a non-judicial trustee sale or a judicial foreclosure. Refinancing a purchase money loan causes It to lose any purchase money protection it might have. 2. Trustee Sales: If a lender foreclos". by no,,"judicial trustee sale instead of by Judicial foreclosure, that lender is barred from seeking any deficiency from the borrower after the trustee sale, even If the loan was not purchase money. 3. Refinanced Liens: The anti-deficiency protections become much less clear for loans that are refinanced. Generally, loans that are refinanced lose their "purohase money" protection. Lenders extending refinances may be able to pursue a deficiency judgment against the borrower directly follOwing" judicial foredosure. 4. Junior Liens: The anti-deficiency protections for Junior Liens are also somewhat unclear. Junior liens used to purchase the r.sidence (such as 90110 first and second) would have "purchase money" protection generally. However, junior lien. that are refinanoed or junior liens that are used to take out equity do not have "purchase money" protection. Suctl "non purctlase money" junior lienholders may be able to pursue a deficiency jUdgement against the borrower directly after a Trustee sale by a senior lienholder or after a judicial foreclosure by the junior lienholder. Although the law is not entirely cle.r, home equity loans (HELOCs) may fall into this category. 5. other Liens! Many other types of liens may be recorded on titles including. without limitation, homeowners association liens. JUdgement liens, iax liens, and child support liens. Generally foreolosures by any lienholders senior to such liens do not protect the owner of the property from later legal action by the lienholder to collect on the obligation. 5. CREDIT AND TAX CONSEQUENCES: A. CREDIT: All of the owne~s options discussed above will most likely have a negative impact on the owne~$ "",dit and on the owner's ability to finance or purchase property for some time. The credit impact and length of time the owner would have difficulty in obtaining a loan to purchase property again, or 10 be ~pproved for any other credit transactions such as obtaining a credit card, leasing an apartment, or even to gain employment, v.ries. Lenders may view short sales and alternatives differently daponding on their Own underwriting guidelines and those established by governm"ntal or quasi-govemmental bodie . TQ find out more information about the impact to your credit score, go to www.myfico.com. B, TAX; With some exoeptions, a reduction or discharge of a debl obligation by a lender rasults in income to the borrower. The income might not be taxable if the debt was being used to purchase, build, or substantially improve a borrower's principal residence. Another exception exists if the forgiveness of debt results from a situation where the lender is barred by law from collecting the debt, as in a foreclosure of p~rchase money debt. Insolvency and bankruptcy rules can also shield a borrower from forgiveness of debt income, Generally, when any debt is forgiven by lender, they are required to provide the borrower a 1099 and it will be up to the borrower to make- the proper claim on their tax return to avoid debt forgiveness income. Some of these rules are temporary, and state laws and federal laws differ, Broker has advised Seller that if Lender agrees to acoept less than full paymen~ the difference may re.ult in taxable income to Seller even though Selier does not receive any cash proceeds from the sale. Seller may also be taxed on the gain in value of the Property from the date of Seller'. purchase to the date of sale, regardless of the amount of any existing Loans/Liens. C. PROFESSIONAL ADVICE, Seller advised to discuss with an attomey, CPA or other professional of Seller's choosing before (i) aocepting any offer to present to lender or{ii) agreeing to any ctlanges requested by lender to an already acoepted contracl 6. POTENTIAL IMPROPRIETIES: It is an unfortunate reality that many persons, inoluding r...1 estate licensees, mortgage lenders, and attomeys, among others! have taken advantage of owners of underwater or distressed properties. Some or the schemes present themselves as "rescues" of the homeowner, promising to let them stay in the property, to protect their credit, or to provide payments to them after olosing, and usually outside of the escrow. Both the Califomia Department of Real Estate (ORE) (http://www.dre.oa.gov)and the callfomla Attornay Genaral (hltp:llwww.ag.oa.gov) have i..uad written warning' of potential red flags in short sales and other resoue schemes. Some of these red flags are:

No license: The DRE believes that a real estate license is generelly required to negotiate any short sale; MARS: Short sale negotiators who do not represent the Seller or Buyer in a short sale are generally required to comply with the Mortgage Assistance Relief Services rules and provide required disclosures and notice. to the Seller. Up-front fae$: No real estate licensee can collect any upfront or advance fee Without having flrst obtained a "no objection" letter from the DRE and no upfront rees may be taken for arranging a loan modification; Surcharges: Charges by third parties that are not disclosed to the short sale lender and usually paid outside of escrow; 3rd Party negotiations: The licensing and fee reqUirements above apply whether the negotialion occurs Ihrough a Broker. representing the Seller or Buyer in the transaction, or a 3r(l party short sale Mgoliator. A. with other real estale activi\;'. short sale negotialor fee. are negoliable and not set by law. The exislence, fee and licensed status of any 3rd party short sale ~egotiator shall be disclosed to the lender and must be approved by the lender as part of the overall compensation to be paid
in the short sale transaction,
F.
Straw buyers and house flipping: Buyers misrepresent the value of the property to the short sale lender and flip the property to another buyer already in place; G. other: Other potential red flags include: guarantees to stop the foreclosure; instructions not to contact the lender; transfer of title prior to close (often to a trust) as a condition of negotiating with the lender; the buyer is an LLC; the buyer wanls a power of altomey from the .eller; ana the buyer hires the Ihird party negotiator or wants to negotiate direclly With the lender. While most of the .,.ctlvities on th~ above list on 1heir face are not fraudulent, they serve as waming signs that the owner and the real estate agents involved should proceed with cautior'\. BUYER CONSIDERATIONS: Shorl sales are often difficult lransactions laking considerably longer that a typicol reel estate transaction to complele. There is no guarantee that the lender or lenders will agree to the lerms of the purchase offer or that they will respond in any timely fashion or even r~spond al all. There is no guarantee Ihat the seUer will agree to any terms proposed by the lander as a condition of releasing the lien or the debt on the property. Buyers may expend money on Inspections, Joan applications. escrow fees and other coslS thaI they will nol be able 10 recover from anyone if the lender does nol approve the Iran.oclion. Buyers may also have difficulty oblaining the relurn of their deposit in escrow. if the seller becomes noncommunicative during the short sal. process. Generally, sellers also have Ihe right to continue to give offers to their lender(s) even if they have a contract wilh an existing buyer, Brokers cannot give any assurances as to what will happen. Buyer. are strongly cautioned that any undisclosed and unapproved payments 10 junior lienholders or to seller or to outside third party ne90~ators may be " form of lender fraud. Buyers are also strongly cautioned that writing offers on more than one short .ale property with the intent 10 purchase only one such property could be a misrepresentation giving rise to legal claims by the Seller Including a claim for the buyer's deposit. BROKER ROLE: A real .slate broker cannot give legal or tax advice in connection wHh any of the options available to the borrower nor can the broker suggest what is the best course of action for the owner. Unfortunately, the owner is faced with extremely difficult choices having a lasting Impact on Ihe owner. Owners are strongly caulioned that they must seek legal and lax advice in what is not only a choice impacting taxes and credit, but also personal iS$l,IsS affal;ting the owner and often the owner's family. The broker's role is to assist the owner with the actual sale of the property in a short sale transaction, not to provide legal or tax advice or to guarantee the best possible outcome for the parties, or to assure the buyer Ihat any particular transaction will be completed. Brokers do not. and cannot. assure that either Ihe SeHer or the Buyer will perform on their agreement or that the lender(s) will agree to any of the tanns presented. Brokers are not a party to the contract between Buyer and Seller. BROKER AUTHORITY: Seller authori",' Broker 10: (1) market Ihe Property for sale. (2) contacl lenders concerning lender's approval of a Short Sale (CAR. Form ARC) and Seller agrees 10 give Broker any necessary information to negotiale with lenders, and (3) advertise In the MLS and other advertiSing medium thaI the Property transfer, sales pnce and payment of commiSSions are

COMMENTS (Include specific positives/negatives. special concems, encroachments, easements, water rights, environmental concems, flood zones, etc. Attach addendum if additional space is needed.)
Property is in average condition and is situated in quiet and desirable East Sacramento neighborhood. It has a large raised patio and backyard with mature trees and sprinkler system. Great view of the quiet neighborhood in the front with a large front yard as well. Lot position is good within the neighborhood, as it is not located on a street with lots of through traffic, or near the railroad tracks that border the area. Most other homes in the area have been renovated to include central heat and air and dual pane windows at a minimum. The subject has not, so this does affect the value, as all sold and actives comps have those two features. The kitchen and bathroom are also original or partially renovated, so that affects the value as well. The median home cost in this area is $323,300, as there are much larger homes in the area that have been renovated and added onto that are on larger lois, or on more desirable streets. Home depreciation the last year has been -8.29 percent. The unemployment rate in this area is 14.70 percent(U.S. CalHFA Loan# 022472-3 124 of 130 Borrower: Kyl . .. . . . . . . '
avg. is 9.10%). Recent job growth is negative and jobs have decreased by 3.19 percent. (bestplaces.net)
