Cape Coral Real Estate

Une “short sale” s’applique lorsqu’un propriétaire désire vendre sa propriété dont la valeur marchande est inférieure au montant du crédit hypothécaire en place. En effet, ces derniers temps, il arrive souvent qu’un propriétaire d’une maison à Cape Coral ou même à Fort Myers en Floride, est obligé de mettre un prix en dessous de son prêt hypothécaire pour pouvoir trouver un acheteur.

Une fois cet acheteur trouvé, l’agent immobilier doit présenté l’offre d’achat à la banque et souvent négocier un prix de telle sorte que la banque devra forcément perdre de l’argent. Pour ce propriétaire, c’est un moyen d’éviter que leur bien immobilier ne soit saisi, spécialement lorsque ce propriétaire à Cape Coral n’a plus les moyens de payer son prêt.

De plus, il est malheureusement conseillé au prêteur d’arreter de payer les paiements mensuels et de prouver à la banque qu’il n’est plus en mesure d’affronter ses paiements, de tel manière que la banque favorise une vente à perte plutôt que de passer par la saisie (foreclosure) qui est souvent beaucoup plus couteuse pour la banque.

Souvent, un acheteur fera une bonne affaire en achetant une “short sale” mais dans des délais souvent très long. Il n’est pas rare de voir une banque prendre entre 3 et 12 mois pour donner une réponse à une offre, et elle peut etre négative! Tout dépend de quelle banque il s’agit. Souvent, le prix demandé pour une “short sale” est un prix très bas pour attirer une offre et pouvoir négocier un prix plus décent pour la banque. Cette dernière voudra perdre le moins possible évidement.

En générale, je ne conseille pas une “short sale” à mes clients. Mais si vous voulez vraiment acheter une “short sale”, voici quelques conseils a prendre en considération:

1) Que le représentant de la banque et l’agent immobilier aient une relation solide entre eux
2) Que la banque a déja approuvé le prix de vente.
3) Que l’agent immobilier a déja acquis une certaine experience avec les “short sales”.

Seulement 30% a 35% des “short sales” sont vendues avec succès. Le reste du temps, les acheteurs sont lassés d’attendre des mois et des mois pour une réponse de la banque qui n’arrive pas. De plus, certaines de ces propriétés nécésitent des travaux qui n’en font plus de bonnes affaires. Il s’agira de bien regarder le bien immobilier en question et voir si cela en vaut la chandelle.

Si vous désirez acheter une maison à Cape Coral, un appartement à Fort Myers, un terrain à Lehigh Acres ou meme un hotel sur Sanibel, n’hésitez pas à me contacter. Je suis un agent immobilier francophone sur Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Fort Myers Beach et Sanibel en Floride.

I did receive a phone call from a homeowner who wanted to do a short pay-off – or short pay – instead of a short sale. When I was asking what he thought about a short pay, he hang up saying he doesn’t want to waste my time, probably believing that I had no clue about short pay. Fair enough.

Let’s face it, there is a lot of confusion with short pay and I always want to know what homeowners have in mind about it. A short pay is when you own more to the bank than what your property worth, like in a short sale situation. The difference is the homeowner does not necessary want to sale. And a lot of people believe that they can get a short pay by paying off their balance by dozens of thousands of dollars below what on the mortgage. And it’s not true at all.

As an example, let’s say someone bought a home back in 2006 for $250,000 with 10% down and a mortgage of $225,000. Today, the house worth $100,000 and the balance today is $210,000. If the owner feel that he’s paying too much for today’s value but doesn’t want to sell his home, he can ask the bank for a short pay-off. And people think they can give $100,000 to the bank for the lien’s release. It’s not going to happen. At best, the bank will agree on a 90% pay off on the remaining balance. So you need to have a good $190,000 in this case.

On the other hand, the short sale is when you are on time with your payment but you want to sell your property and it worth only $100,000. It’s when you ask the bank to accept a lower pay off payment.

So there is a big difference between both and lots of people, frustrated by a difficult financial situation, want to believe that a short pay is as acceptable by the bank as a short sale.

Also, you might find difficult to find the help of a Real Estate agent since there is no sale in a short pay-off and therefore, no commission for the agent. And there is very few people, if any, willing to work for free, especially for a time consuming short pay-off.

Here are 10 frequently asked short sales made questions which are incredibly useful especially if you are just getting started or contemplating quick sales as a means to acquiring pre-foreclosures.

1. What occurs on the seller’s credit rating when they permit an investor to short sell their property?

What typically takes place is the loan will show up as “paid” on their credit report; even so there will probably be a notation that says “settled for less than originally owed” or something along these lines. It’s additional favorable for a homeowner to small promote than to have a foreclosures on their credit report.

2. Where do you find investors for short sales?

Depending on where you live, you may see buyers who advertise with bandit signs or in your local newspaper. Call the investors directly and ask them if they’re experienced in performing short product sales and if they would be interested in working with you. Another good place is your nearby real estate investors club meeting.

3. Define a short sales?

A short selling is really a form of pre-foreclosure sale made and occurs when the mortgagee agrees to accept much less than the loan volume to avoid foreclosure. A negotiated short sale results inside a discounted buy price for the buyer. The buyer would finance the acquisition significantly the same as in any conventional realty acquisition.!. but devoid of the luxury of time.

4. Can an proprietor profit from a short sale?

The seller can’t profit (monetarily) from a pre-foreclosure short sale.!!! But you will find usually exceptions towards the rule.

5. How do bankruptcies affect the possibility of carrying out a short sale?

Most mortgagees won’t take into account a short sale if the house owner is in bankruptcy.!.why? Due to the fact negotiating a short sale made payoff is considered a collection activity. Collection activities are prohibited in bankruptcy.

6. Can somebody tell me what paperwork do I have to include inside a short sale package?

Documents depend on the lender. Each loan company has diverse requirements. It is typical to require hardship letter, buy and sales contract, ECOR, settlement statement (HUD 1), net sheet, pay stubs, bank statements, personal financial sheet (monthly budget), amongst other things.

7. What percentage of mortgage firms send somebody out for an appraisal on a achievable short sale?

All lenders order a BPO or full appraisal of the asset prior to making their decision to accept or reject the short purchase offer. This is there only way of assessing the worth of your home.

8. How late in the pre-foreclosure procedure can you begin a short sale?

Attempt to allow a window of at least 90 days to effectuate a mortgagee approved, pre-foreclosure Short Sale made.

9. What is a Due on Sale clause?

“Due on Sale” Clause (DOS) Provision inside a mortgage or deed of trust calling for the total payoff of your loan balance inside event of a selling or transfer of title towards the secured genuine asset. A contract provision which authorizes the loan provider, at its choice, to declare immediately due and payable sums secured by the lender’s security instrument upon a purchase of all or any part of the genuine home securing the loan devoid of the lender’s prior written consent.

For purposes of this definition, a sale or transfer indicates the conveyance of authentic house of any proper, title or interest therein, regardless of whether legal or equitable, regardless of whether voluntary or involuntary, by for deed, leasehold interest with a term greater than three years, lease-option contract or any other technique of conveyance of true home interests. Standard language which states that the mortgage must be paid when a house is sold.

10. Will banks enable a short sale when the owner has some or a beneficial sum of equity?

If a asset has what the financial institution would consider a substantial quantity of equity, chances are they would take into account allowing the asset to foreclose and then reselling it closer towards the retail value. Focus on homes that don’t have much equity. Your job will be to create the fairness in the home by negotiating a successful short sale made.

Yes, these are the top mistakes to avoid in order to have your short sales approved and eventually closed as I experience them with my fellow agents who work with me on short sales.

~ Not submitting multiple offers.
My experience tells me that providing multiple offers to the lender has indeed helped to show that the agent is doing all he/she can do to get the home sold. The multiple offers will make the difference. However, the servicing lenders generally do not like them. There is a second benefit to it: if the selected buyer walks, there is another purchase contract that can carry the deal to close.

~ Not submitting a proposal.
Many short sale agents just send a complete short sale package. It is true that you must have complete documentation, but it is important to draft a full proposal, as well. Organizing your request to approve a short sale has often made the difference between success and failure with the agents.
Also, many agents still think that the servicing lender is the one who approves the short sale and that they can actually negotiate with that lender’s “negotiator”. However, most loan notes are actually owned by the SMI and either they, or an MI insurance carrier if they have paid off a claim, approve or reject the short sale.

~ Not communicating adequately with parties.
Buyers are patient to a limit. Same with Communicating cooperating agents. You may think about weekly updates to all parties, more often when things happen. You can put a password protected area in your website where buyers and all parties can review the updates. Buyers must be part of the process and be motivated to hang in there when approval takes a long time.

~ Hardship.
Not meeting the definition of “hardship”. Like a criminal case wherein each element of the criminal statute must be proved, in short sale cases the hardship letter and financial documents must prove each element necessary for a secondary market investor to render a finding of “hardship”, and approve the short sale. The hardship letter must contain certain elements, without which, the case will be rejected. Make sure to get it right in the first place because a second attempt will ruined the authenticity of the transaction.

~ The lender’s net.
That’s what will make a short sale go through or not at the end of the day. The most important reason that a short sale is not approved is not meeting the net to lender, calculating the minimum threshold percentage of the fair market value. In the past, secondary market investors utilized the short sale versus REO comparison analysis to approve or reject a short sale. However, almost all SMIs have changed over to the minimum threshold analysis. That analysis ignores the amount of the debt and focuses on proof of the current fair market value of the property. For different SMIs and even different products, there is a set minimum threshold percentage of the fair market value that must be received in order for the proposal to be approved. Many agents erroneously believe they are still using the old comparison analysis.

So, the bottom line is this:
If a proposal meets the definition of hardship and that hardship is supported by the financial documents, you do nothing to cause the servicing lender to tank the proposal, and the offer meets the net to lender minimum threshold percentage of the fair market value, the short sale will be approved and if a qualified buyer remains, the transaction will close.

If you are a Real Estate agent, you will most likely be confronted to short sales soon or later, especially if you are in Florida. Here are some tips to master those short sales.

First start off listing the property right in the mid range of all the other comps and current listings in the neighborhood. If the comps and current listings range from $150K – $180K for example, then you want to
start off listing your property around $165K.

Secondly, you reduce the list price by about 3% each week until you receive an offer on the property.
So in this example you would drop the list price by about $5K each week until you received a solid offer.

Remember, when you first list the property you will also be submitting a COMPLETED Short Sale packet to the lender (with a lowball offer)… Once you do this the lender will order a BPO which will usually take 3-4 weeks to complete.

So in this example, by the third week of lowering your list price you would be the lowest priced property in the area, which would also be about the same time that the BPO would be completed by the lender.

This means that when you do receive a solid offer on the property, you will be able to get an answer from the lender very quickly, now that the BPO has already been done.

Another possibility in this situation is that you drop the list price from $165K to $160K after the first week and you then get an offer on the property… Now you can leave the list price at $160K while you work on getting this very strong offer approved by the lender…

Remember, if you started listing it to low, you would never have received an offer this high…
When you use this strategy you can also show the lender your activity report on the property. You can show them that you made an attempt to get them the highest possible offer.

Here is why this is important…

The lender knows if they ever had to Foreclose on the property, they would have to pay attorney fees, auctions fees, and the process may take more than 6 months.

And that’s not all…

After all that time and money, they would have to list the property as an REO and do the same thing that you just did! List the property and then keep dropping the price until they get an offer.

Here is the key…

By showing the lender that you have already done exactly what they would have to do, and that you can save them 6 months of expenses, it will make your offer much more likely to get approved. If you can get a dollar number for those expenses, the bank will see you know what you talking about and will most likely follow you advice, and even gives you more listings.

This is the only way to make sure your Short Sales get completed in a timely manner and you don’t waste your valuable time with listings that sit on the market with no activity for months.
