We seem to go through
periods where we deal with one investor more than other times and every file is
like pulling teeth from a rabid Doberman – you get the job done but not without
a few nicks and bruises. This was the case on our recent Seratus Fannie Mae
Short Sale closing
We had a Fannie Mae Owned
Seratus serviced first mortgage and a Bank of America HELOC second. As is Fannie
Mae’s MO these days they countered our first offer 20% above
fair market value. Once again we lost a buyer and had to go through the motions
of waiting Fannie Mae out until we were able to secure
a buyer at fair market value. Crazy how Fannie Mae continues
to lose our money while they play games but it is what it is.
With Short Sale Approval
from Seratus and Fannie Mae, the Bank of America HELOC was more than
accommodating and approved the Bank of America Short Sale on the second as
well. Should be a quick close right? Oh how I wish that was the case.
You see, the property
was tenant occupied and even though we told the tenant 90 days prior they had
troubles vacating the property. Now many people don’t realize in any West Sacramento Short Sale we have
two stages. The first is to get the West Sacramento Short Sale approved and the
second is to close the escrow. This was one of those cases where the Seratus Fannie Mae
Short Sale was not as difficult as getting the tenant out and
the escrow closed. Certainly eviction sounds like the way to go however I know
you get more with honey than you do vinegar. We chose to work with the tenant
on finding suitable replacement housing rather than fight with him. Had we gone
the eviction route the file could have been tied up for months.
With a little love and
luck we were able to close this Seratus Fannie Mae
Short Sale 20 days late but at least we closed and the seller
walked away from over $400,000 in debt with no liability for the unpaid
balance. He could not have been happier.
