Group 46:10 Talks About Short Sale Process And Timeline Comments Off
I’m Fred Weaver, this is Kevin Kauffman and we are Group 46:10. We are glad to be here today discussing with you about short sales. Our business group has closed numerous short sales over the last 3 and a half years. We are one of the chief short sale groups in :k1:. As always, our method is to inform our clients, providing them with the information that they wish for about short sales and what to do with their propety so they can make an informed decision.
One topic that we feel is very significant concerns the timeline of a short sale. We get a lot of inquiries from clients about this. It is generally a 6 month process because there are many things that have to happen. Typically it takes a customer a couple of days to determine they want to do a short sale. Then the customer has to do paperwork that takes about 24-28 hours. When they have the paperwork, they send it to us. We get the listing paperwork organized and list your house like any other home for sale. These initial few steps take about a week. As soon as the listing paperwork is signed, we take pictures of the house so your home is marketed appropriately as well as discuss our marketing approach with you.
When the home is listed, we expect an offer within 30-60 days on average When we receive a good offer, we’ll contact you to sign the offer, negotiate with the bank and go into contract with the purchaser. That may take anywhere between 45-90 days, based on the bank. When the bank has accepted the offer, we look to close escrow 21 days or 3 weeks later. It’s a very aggressive closing deadline, but we do that to protect our sellers and our clients. When we do obtain approvals from the bank they are time sensitive and have an expiration date.
With a short sale, there isn’t anything for you to worry about because we know how the process goes. We will tell you what you need to do right away and walk you through the rest of the process. Please fill out the form and allow us to contact you or give us a call. We would love to talk about your particular situation or short sale with you.
