Bank of America Corp., the U.S. lender with the most housing-related writedowns, is allowing the highest number of properties to be sold at a loss as short sales become an increasingly common foreclosure alternative.
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank approved 5,276 short sales in January, topping JPMorgan Chase & Co. , with 2,976, and Wells Fargo & Co., the biggest home-loan originator, with 2,788, according to a report today by RealtyTrac Inc. The total number of U.S. short sales, in which properties are bought for less than what’s owed on them, rose 33 percent from a year earlier in January, the latest month for which figures are available, and is expected to set a record this year, the Irvine, California-based data provider said.
We use an online based system to communicate and negotiate
all of our Short Sales and we have had great result. In most cases we were able
to get our sellers relocation assistance of up to $3000 to cooperate with a
short sale and the best part was the seller avoided a deficiency judgment which
would allow them to apply for a loan allot sooner than if they would have just
walked from the property and foreclosed. Here in SW Florida- Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres we have closed several hundred Short Sales.
This program is one we try and qualify
all of our sellers in Lee county, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres for and help them throughout the process. The program is a HAFA
(Home Alternative Foreclosure Assistance) and is offered to a large number of
home owners. If you would like more information on HAFA or a possible Short
Sale you may contact us at
