Tracy Short Sales: How To Do a Bank of America Cooperative Short Sale

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – You can hire a real estate agent if you want to, but it’s not a necessary step to get preapproved for the short sale. I help my sellers get preapproved but not every short sale agent offers this type of service because we don’t get paid to do it

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

Here is how the program is approached:

1. Write a hardship letter.

2. Send the hardship letter to the bank and ask the bank to do a Cooperative Short Sale.

3. Follow up with Bank of America weekly to make sure your Cooperative Short Sale is being processed.

The bank might request other documents. But, in most cases it will not. The program is streamlined. This means the bank will run a credit report.

If your FICO score is very low and your credit report is terrible, then Bank of America probably will not ask for supporting documents. It will simply approve your Cooperative Short Sale.

The process can take anywhere from 30 days to 3 month. By working with Bank of America on a Cooperative Short Sales, you can sell your home without the negative aspects of a foreclosure.

It truly is a situation where everyone’s best interest: yours, the buyers, and the banks, can be mutually considered. Thinking about a short sale?

I can help you short sale your property and get back on your feet. Send me an e-mail atfrank@thesilveriateam.com. I will contact you for a free consultation.

When we talk, I will explain how the process works in detail and answer any questions you may have. Or, if you prefer, you can call me at 209.835.9300

Frank G. Silveria III, Taffeco Real Estate, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

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

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

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

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

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

Tracy Short Sales: Drawbacks To Bank Of America’s New Short Sale Program

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – Despite the fact that the Cooperative short sale may help the borrower leave the home without some of the negative aspects of a foreclosure, it has its drawbacks that you may need to consider before you decide to explore this option. Below are some of the drawbacks:

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

Deed in Lieu. In the event that your home does not sell, then the program stipulates that the next step is a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

This affects your credit just like a foreclosure does. We not see why you couldn’t refuse the deed-in-lieu at that stage and attempt another short sale. Or, at least live “rent free” until the bank forecloses.

Second Lender / Mortgage Insurance Refusal to Participate.

If you have two loans on a short sale, then you will always need the approval of the second lender to participate. If the second lender does not agree to the first mortgage’s offer, then they might refuse to approve the short sale.

Moreover, if the loan has mortgage insurance, the Mortgage Insurance company will need to approve the sale as well. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy Short Sales: Why Bank Of America Is Offering A New Short Sale Program

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – A cooperative short sale may be a good option depending on your situation.

But, you need to remember that Banks are not in the business of making life easier for its customers, much less anyone trying a short sale.

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

Banks are in business to turn a profit. The main reason Bank of America has initiated the Cooperative Short Sale is to increase the bank’s bottom line profit.

They increase their profit whenever they cut losses on loans that are in default. The bank faced several problems:

1. They have a bad reputation for taking too long to process short sales and loan modifications.

2. Due to the length of time to buy a short sale, buyers are making lowball offers.

3. Many agents are in experienced on short sales and unsure of what to do. As a result, many agents were in the dark on where to price a short sale property.

Before listing the property, Bank of America will provide the terms such as the list price and deficiency judgments. In doing so, the bank is able to provide a shorter decision time once an offer is received.

In fact, Bank of America claims that once an offer is received, they will provide a decision in 10 days!

This simply means that Buyers will be less frustrated with the purchase process and more willing to wait for it to be completed.

With a traditional short sale many Buyers get frustrated and walk before a response is received on the short sale. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy Short Sales: Benefits of Bank of America’s New Short Sale Program

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – Bank of America’s Cooperative Short Sale makes the entire short sale process easier for everyone involved.

The bank has rolled this out because a short sale reduces their losses compared to a foreclosure. A short sale is quicker than a foreclosure and it doesn’t tarnish the bank’s reputation as much as a foreclosure.

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

Banks don’t want to have bank owned properties on their balance sheet. The fact is: it makes financial, legal and good PR sense for banks to close out non-performing loans this way.

Here are the benefits to the homeowner of a Successful Cooperative Short Sale with Bank of America:

* Bank of America will pay the Seller $2,500 for moving expenses.

* Bank of America will not pursue the deficiency amount – the bank waives its right to go after the seller for the deficiency.

* Bank of America will not foreclose on your home.

* Bank of America assigns a listing price – then re-assesses the price every 2 weeks, until a buyer is found.

Another good thing with the cooperative short sale is that the homeowner doesn’t have the stigma of a foreclosure on his or her record.

Eligibility requirements include asset reviews, no second liens, and require participating investors. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy Short Sales: Why Might a Short Sale Be Preferred Over a Loan Modification?

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – Homeowners who would prefer to get out from underwater may prefer to do a short sale compared to a loan modification.

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

A short sale means the bank will accept a reduced payoff and release the loan. If your home is worth dramatically less than the amount owed, it might make more sense to do a short sale and be relieved of the burdened debt.

Loan Modifications are changes to your loan agreement. Your payments get more affordable, but your loan balance is not reduced in any way.

In fact, many loan modifications will adjust your payment back up after 3-5 years.

Here are other factors to consider:

1. After 2 to 3 years of maintaining credit, if prices remain stable, homeowners may qualify to buy another home with a mortgage and a payment that is affordable.

2. Both a loan modification and a short sale may affect credit. But either solution is generally better than a foreclosure.

3. Most of the short sale listings I sell in my area involve sellers who were denied a loan modification.

I can help you make a decision on what option to take based on your current situation. Thinking about a short sale?
