I had a recent conversation with a negotiator that was servicing a file with Fannie Mae and told me the ways you can get an automatic short sale approval from Fannie Mae.  I should correct myself and say “approved of” but only the value and the offer are needed if you have one of these 4 circumstances.  In each instance, the borrower can remain current if they choose and still qualify.

So What is a Short Sale?

A Short Sale is basically where an owner of a property sells their property for what is less than is owed to the bank. The seller’s lender(s) essentially lower their payoff (the amount owed) to allow the short sale to happen.

Some keys that most people miss:

• A short sale seller is netting the HIGHEST possible amount in the market thus SAVING property values vs FORECLOSURE
• A short sale seller is taking action, not giving up
• In every instance, a short sale is better than a foreclosure or bankruptcy
