Bank of America does listen to my blog posts.
Earlier this week I vented my frustration with a Bank of America short sale in a blog post on ActiveRain.
This is that post.
Today I received a call from Sheri, she said she is with Bank of America Social and had read my blog post and wanted to help.
I listened to what she had to say all the while I am thinking it’s nice to receive a call from BOA but did not think or expect any real help.I thanked her for the call and continued on with my day.
One hour later I received another call from BOA it was a miffed Bank of America negotiator.He was doing a great backpedal as to why he has ignored my many calls and emails to him.This very day today he emailed me three times and reviewed my clients file with a fresh new prospective.The documents I had sent him over a month ago found their way to him as if by magic!
WOW!… Bank of America does listen to our blog posts. Thanks Sheri at the Bank of America Social dept.

Got HAFA and two home loans. Well your short sale will be a bit more difficult for your short sale agent to get approved. It used to be that the second lender would be happy to sign off for $6,000.00 and allow you out of their loan. Under HAFA guidelines your first lender can offer them up to $8,500.00 to release your second lien. Lately I have been running into short sales were the 2nd states they will not allow the short sale to continue unless they get the full $8,500.00
HAFA is a set of guidelines for lenders to follow, but that’s it they are just guidelines. Many first lender will only offer 6% to 8% of the amount owed up to the maximum of $8.500 which ever is less to a second lien holder. Example you owe $70,000 to the second lender the first will offer $5,600.00 but the second stonewalls your short sale agent for the full $8,500.00. Your short sale agent has to fight with both your lenders to get your short sale approved. Get a short sale expert to fight the good battle and get your short sale approved. 
HAFA = Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives. One benefit to the home owner via the HAFA short sale process is the relocation help you the seller will receive at the closing in the amount of $3,000.00 and a complete release of the balance owed period. you get a fresh start.

Short Sale Timing,Fast or Slow?
One of the most common question my clients ask me about the short sale process is: How long does a Short Sale Take?
Even now as we keep hearing from the lenders that they are streamlining the short sale process. Some short sales
are still taking 90+ day to get approved.
Then I can have another client with the same lender take less than 30 days to get the short sale approved. I work then all the same and the timing for the approval letters is never the same,but they do get Approved! My message here is the same for all seller’s give me time, 30 to 90 days and I will get your short sale approved.
at your service,

2013 is going to be a good year for homeowners needing to short sale their home.
Most all major lenders and servicers have agreed to streamline the short sale process.

however, Servicers may implement changes immediately
The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program is a government-sponsored initiative overseen by the U.S. Treasury Department and administered by Fannie Mae assisting all Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP)-eligible homeowners in avoiding foreclosure,specifically through short sales or deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.

AFTER Feb. 1, 2013
|
|
| Required Documents | Use of Short Sale Agreement and Request for Short Sale Approval or forms substantially similar in content are required | Use of Short Sale Agreement and Request for Short Sale Approval documents optional |
| The Short Sale Notice (SSN) and the Acknowledgement of Request for Short Sale (ARSS) are now the preferred forms for servicers with regards to HAFA Short Sales.

| Response Time | Servicers required to respond within 45 days | Servicers required to respond within 30 days |

| Borrowers who are 90 days or more delinquent and have a FICO score that is less than 620 will be deemed to have a “pre-determined” hardship. Servicers do not need to further validate the hardship to approve the HAFA short sale. However, they must execute a Hardship Affidavit prior to closing. | ||

No arms-length transaction orHUD-1 affidavit required
|
New HAFA Affidavit to be completed at closing |
| A new HAFA Affidavit is now required, while both the borrower and the buyer must sign.

Resale Restrictions
|
No resale before 90 days |
Resale after 30 days allowed
|
| The current restriction on reselling a property within 90 days after closing is being shortened to 30 days. From 31 to 90 days, the resale price cannot exceed 120% ofthe HAFA short sale price. | ||
Changes to the Bank of America Cooperative Short Sale Program
for 2013.
The Bank of America Cooperative Short Sale Program may be able to help Temecula homeowners complete a short sale if they owe more on their mortgage than their Temecula house is worth and do not qualify for the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) short sale program. This short sale program can streamline the approval process and offers financial assistance to help homeowners with relocation and moving expenses.
As of January 15, 2013, there will no longer be a temporary foreclosure hold during the Cooperative Short Sale property marketing phase. Bank of America may begin or continue the foreclosure process up until a submitted offer to purchase the property is approved by all relevant parties. Any existing Temecula short sales in progress will not be impacted by these changes.
