Get cash back for short sale!

Get Cash Back of up to 1% of the Sale Price, from your Bank – Fresno

With 10’s of Thousands of notices of default each month in California, now more that ever the real estate industry is in need of an alternative to Foreclosure.  Responding to the call of the National Association of REALTORS, the Obama Administration has announced incentives and uniform procedures for short sales under its new Foreclosure Alternatives Program (FAP). 

The Foreclosure Alternative Program (FAP) also offers financial incentives to banks, servicers, and homeowners as outlined below:

• $1,000 for servicers for successful completion of a short sale or DIL;
• $1,500 for borrowers to help with relocation expenses; and
• up to $1,000 toward the cost of paying junior lien holders to release their liens (one dollar from the government for every $2 paid by the investors to the second lien holders).  

The FAP program also contains other terms and conditions applicable to the Banks, Servicers and homeowners as follows: 

1. Servicers or Banks must determine if a short sale is appropriate, before they can proceed with a Foreclosure. 
2. Banks or Servicers may not charge fees to borrowers/homeowners for participating in the FAP.
3. In the Short Sale Agreement, servicers must give borrowers/homeowners at least 90 days to market and sell the property, or up to one year, depending on market conditions.
4. Property must be listed with a licensed real estate professional and no foreclosure may take place during the marketing period (at least 90 days) specified in the Short Sale Agreement.
5. Property Valuation must be conducted by an Appraisal or Broker Price Opinion (BPO).
6. Banks or Servicers will independently establish both property value and minimum net return to the bank, in accordance with investor requirements.
7. The price may be determined based on an appraisal or one or more broker price opinions (BPOs)  

In addition to the federal government incentives listed above, many banks and mortgage services are adding additional financial incentives to homeowners.  We have been successful in negotiating up to a 1% of the sale price cash back incentives to homeowners for cooperating with a short sale. These incentives are paid by the mortgage bank, through Escrow at the close of the short sale transaction.
