HAPPY CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

 

This information was provided to me by the Board Of Realtors, which in turn received it from Wells Fargo.  Many lenders approach a short sale in this manner.  Yours may NOT.  Always call your lender.  Wells may change their policies in the future.  Call your lender if you are contemplating a short sale and follow their procedure.  This is for informational purposes only-not legal advice.

REALTOR SHORT SALE GUIDE

From Wells Fargo

What is a Short Sale?

A short sale is a workout program that allows a borrower to sell the property, even if the proceeds are less than the loan payoff, due to low property value. Upon final approval, a short sale can help homeowners avoid further collection activity or foreclosure action, which can result in adverse credit reporting and possible tax liabilities.

How to Get Started

�� Homeowner is required to call the Short Sale Phone team at (866) 903-1053. Financial information is reviewed and pre-foreclosure sale counseling is completed.

 

�� The realtor faxes the complete short sale package to (866)-359-1975, Attn: Setup

Documents Required to Begin a Short Sale Application.
