Aurora Loan Services: Short Sale Warning
I have had a Short Sale offer in process with Aurora Loan Services since December.
Facts:
The house, in Niceville, Florida, was listed for $183,000.
Offer was for $175,900. VA financing with seller total contribution of $3000 including doc stamps on the deed, a customary seller expense in Florida. Thus, the seller contribution to buyer's closing was only about $1700.
BPO (Broker Price Opinion) determined by seller's lender - $185,000.
Aurora counteroffers $185,000. Buyers stay firm at $175,900.
30 days later- today- Aurora says sale is "approved".
Receive approval letter. Aurora will pay $363 of the total closing costs, excluding a reduced broker fee.
I call Aurora. "VA will not ALLOW VA buyers to pay certain closing costs. You had the contract and the net sheet. The contract stipulated VA financing".
Aurora: "We don't pay closing costs."
Me: "Then the deal is going to fall through".
Aurora: "Sorry."
Warning: Although this lender only countered the purchase price, they omitted any mention of closing costs until the deal was "approved". Wish me luck saving this one!
It's Wendy!
