Wells Fargo Short Sales in West Sacramento

Today let’s talk about Wells Fargo Short Sales.Wells Fargo is one of the five major lenders who were signatory to the recent States AG 26 Billion dollar settlement. While one of the five largest lenders, Wells Fargo Short Sales can be simple or they can be just a bear. Let me explain.


 The one thing you can say about Wells Fargo is they are detail oriented like no other lender I have ever seen before. Every “I” must be dotted and every “t” crossed for the processing department to release your file to loss mitigation. The Wells Fargo West Sacramento Short Sale processing team are tough, tough, tough. They want names under every signature, letters explaining why someone who is unemployed has no pay stubs, and every name to match exactly. If the buyer or seller used their middle initial on one signature and not the others the file will be sent back and the list goes on and on.

Once you get to processing the party’s just getting started. Of all the lenders we have worked with, Wells Fargo is the toughest on wanting an offer that is as close to Fair Market Value as possible. On more than one occasion we have been told that the only value that matters is the value they have in their system.

Now, of course you know we don’t take no for an answer but I have to admit, of the very few short sales we have lost to foreclosure, one was over value. We and the buyer’s appraiser thought the value was less that Wells did. Wells closed out the file and foreclosed on the property. Guess what. 3 months later they sold it as an REO for less than our offer – go figure. At least you have to give them credit for sticking to their guidelines…

The good news with Wells Fargo is, if you submit a clean near perfect package, sell the property for what it is worth and follow through relentlessly you can expect to have the West Sacramento Short Sale approved in 60-70 days. We average 62 days on our approvals with Wells. Pretty good all things considered.
