The Short Sale Process It is easiest to begin the process if you are behind on your payments (~60 days). Typically, lenders will not consider a short sale to customers that are current on their loan. The easiest course of action is to contact a short sale specialist to facilitate the following process. Regardless, contact your lender’s loss mitigation department to request a short sale packet (see below for a list of package documents). This packet is to be completely filled out and sent back to the lender; it is also best to have an offer to purchase with it. The lender will also require the property to be listed with a realtor. Once an offer is presented, the lender will order a BPO (Broker Price Opinion) from their own agent. This is a quick opinion of what the house is worth now in today’s market. This is the most important part of the process. Controlling the BPO is the best reason for having a specialist working for you. The lender will then take a percentage of the BPO as a short sale. Banks actually have a formula for this. They will then have the option to accept or further negotiate the offer presented. The lender will not allow the seller to profit from the short sale; the lender will also pay any commissions due. Note that this is a 10,000ft overview of the process; there are several strategies and details involved, and without an expert working for you the probability of your house closing before foreclosure is unlikely.
