How to do real estate short sale in New Jersey?
I am a real estate professional in NJ. I have a client with a home for sale that is in foreclosure. The client has a first mortgage with Indymac. The client also has a second mortgage also with Indymac.
We received an offer for this home for less than the asking price and the amounts of the mortgages. It will be a short sale. Can anyone tell me the best way to proceed with this?
I would prefer someone who has actually been on the seller side of short sale and if possible dealt with Indymac but all answers will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your professional opinions.
Recently, I talked to Indymac and this is how they work. They are sending the borrower (my seller) a lending kit. It takes 3 to 5 days to receive. Once we submit the offer, it takes 10 days for them to approve or disprove of it. Sounds simple so far. All other answers are welcome.
Short Sale, A Practical Approach
The book, Short Sale, A Practical Approach, is designed for buyers, sellers and agents. It is a “how-to” guide to handling of short sale. In light of the housing bubble, the book is released timely to help those who can’t sell their home because the debt on their home is higher than its value.
The book shows step-by-step how approval is obtained from the lender for a short payoff of the loan. Homeowners experiencing financial hardship do not have to face foreclosure. The short sale alternative, if approved, is a better choice.
Agents who do not understand short sale will discover the mystery behind short sale–why it is done.and why the lenders prefer it over foreclosure. It is a market niche that agents should get into.
For those who do not wish to do the negotiation side of short sale, this book will enable them to explain to the seller what short sale entails. The agent’s problem today is that homes are not selling. With short sales, homes do sell!
