Las Vegas Short Sale Specialist Team, Closes Bank Of America Short Sale with no Deficiency on ALISO

-

Las Vegas, NV – January 5, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — The Property on Aliso had one Lien Holder which was Bank of America. It was originally listed for $165,000 and eventually sold for $133,000 with zero closing costs. It was purchased with a conventional loan and took 105 days to close. The approval letter contained no deficiency language.

Ballen Group, a local team of short sale agents in Nevada, who have been specializing in Nevada Short Sales for several years now, have obtained a very difficult Short Sale Approval Letter from Bank of America. The Short Sale Approval Letter from Bank of America has always included language stating that Bank of America reserved the right to collect the debt (the difference of what the buyer paid for the home and what the seller owed on the loan) from the seller. This letter actually states that the deficiency is being waived. The next paragraph is taken directly from the letter.

Upon receipt of the agreed amount, BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, and it’s investors will waive the remaining balance due on the above referenced loan and release the borrower from further obligation therein, and waive all rights to pursue further judgment or deficiency. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP will report this debt as “settled for less than the amount owed” and issue a 1099 for the remaining balance. The seller is encouraged to seek guidance from an independent tax advisor, and/or an attorney before proceeding with the short sale.

The Ballen Group uses a 3 question factor to consider if a Short Sale is right for the specific homeowner. These are 1. The homeowner is no longer able to make mortgage
payments or have already missed a payment due to financial hardship. The homeowners wants to avoid foreclosure. The value of the home is less than what is owed on the mortgage.
