"Day in the Life" of a Destin Short Sale Agent

Just one of my normal days selling real estate and short sales in Destin, Florida...

Buyer agent emails me to say buyer is walking if no response from Niceville short sale lender this week.

Another buyer agent calls me to say buyer is walking by October 31 if no approval given on Destin short sale condo.

Another buyer agent calls and emails me three times asking when the approved Bank of America Santa Rosa Beach short sale can close.

Another buyer agent calls to ask if my seller will put $7000 in escrow for "as is" short sale for roof repair, HUH?

Bank of America emails me asking for all new financials and a revised settlement statement within two days, or they will close the file on a Sandestin short sale.

Two days before closing on Destin short sale condo, I am trying to obtain junior lien approval letter from Suntrust Bank. They have been promising the letter for a month.

Seller emails me that an agent left the door unlocked after showing his property. Seller is upset.

Buyer agent for Fort Walton Beach short sale calls to ask for status on approval.
On hold 40 minutes with PHH for Niceville Florida short sale. I ask for supervisor of supervisor, as this short sale has been in process seven months. I finally have to hang up after hold music gives me a headache.

Checking on another Suntrust approval, I am told no BPO or appraisal has been ordered after 60 days. I ask "When" is it going to be ordered. The rep tells me she would be a "rich woman" if she could answer that question every time it is asked.

Checking on Aurora Loan Services short sale. They say they have moved back all approval estimates by another 30 days.

I let Navarre short sale seller know we cannot sell her property if we cannot show it. Tenant-occupied and every showing is denied.

My computer starts typing on its own, repeating the same character ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, for ten minutes. This is the third time in two weeks. I am shut down! I replace the mouse and it starts working again.

I create a ten-point counter-offer addendum for Destin short sale seller to respond to an offer.

Another buyer agent emails me buyer is walking if my Santa Rosa Beach short sale seller won't agree to his bank's demands for deficiency balance to be paid.

Good email- Boeing relocation for Destin buyer (wow, non-short sale work)

Get pre-approval letter for buyer for Fort Walton Beach commercial property. Letter is dated 1999. My seller is concerned.

At the end of the day, I tell my husband I am exhausted, as it was a bit stressful. He says, "You wouldn’t have it any other way."

He is right.

Sandestin Short Sale Approved by EMC, Beachside II

Lender: EMC

Original Purchase Price 2005: $800,000
Mortgage Amount: $640,000
Approved Sale Price: $300,000

Notes: Initial contract price was $359,000. Buyer was obtaining a Fannie Mae mortgage. Fannie Mae would not approve the Beachside II condo project for financing due to an outstanding lawsuit against the homeowners association. New Fannie Mae guidelines require analysis of the project where financing is sought, even for existing condominums. Since buyer was unable to get a Fannie Mae mortgage, EMC approved a reduced $300,000 cash purchase price.

To avoid foreclosure and sell your Sandestin home or condo as a short sale, contact an experienced real estate agent who specializes in short sales.

Why You MUST Call The Short Sale Lender Every 3 Days

If you don't call the Short Sale lender EVERY 3 days...
1. It might be a month before the short sale lender lets you know you are missing paperwork (they "lost" it)
2. You won't know you're not "authorized" (they misplaced your letter)
3. You won't know they NEVER got your short sale package, (although you have the fax receipt)
4. They might never "refer" the file as a short sale (Countrywide cases) because it's still in loan modification process
5. They won't call YOU with a counter offer until they "get" to it next week
6. You might not get connected with the "right" rep who gives you a different answer and really cares
7. You won't be able to tell them the appraisal STILL has not been ordered
8. You won't be able to tell them the BPO agent went out to the property 3 weeks ago
9. You might not find out about the scheduled foreclosure sale date, nor be able to postpone it
10. You won't find out they've switched negotiators, because the previous one no longer works there, so you'll have to start all over
11. You won't be able to save the file from going to collections
12. You won't find out the junior lien was sold to an MI company as an insurance claim
13. You won't know they rejected the offer and closed the file
14. You won't find out the negotiator didn't get your email because you mispelled her name
15. They'll forget about you

In short, no matter how excessive it may seem, it's critical to stay on top of the short sale lender. One phone call may be the difference between approval or denial.
