As a buyer, you have to expect these long waits. Patience is the key to Short Sales. Each one is different and each bank has their own procedure. The first step of a short sale is to gather all for your paperwork. This consists of the following basic documents: Last 2 years' of tax returns Last 2 W2s / 1099s Last 2 bank statements Last 2 payroll stubs Financial statement or 1126 Form 4506 Signed and dated hardship letter
In one way or another you will be responsible for and money in a short sale of your home. If you do not have the cash at the sale closing, I doubt you will be able to provide a clean title insurance policy. Without that, you will not be able to sell your home. If this is a different type of sale, other than a conventional mortage by the purchasers, the bank will come after you for any and all short sale. I know this is not good news... but the bank will want it's money... Sotty Addition by Soxos, They have 12 years in England to get the debt from you, and 5 years in Scotland.
If a bank refuses a short sale offer, you can only make a new offer to the bank. Your real estate agent will be able to give more details about the short sale process.
It means the bank has to "approve" the selling price before the property can be sold. The bank reserves the right to say no to any contract for purchase - even after the seller has accepted an offer. Usually means the property is a short sale or a foreclosure. Example, Mr. Buyer offers $500,000 for a house that is for sale. Mr. Seller agrees to the price and signs the contract. That contract goes to the bank for approval. The bank says No, we will not accept $500,000, we want more. Mr. Buyer and Mr. Seller now cannot go through with the sale of the house at the price of $500,000. Mr. Buyer can up his offer and try again, but the bank has to "approve" the selling price before the house can be sold. No bank approval, no sale.
Many realtors will sell a house as a short sale. However a short sale has to be approved by the bank first.

From what I understand the bank has to agree to the short sale and then takes that as the mortgage paid.
A short sale incurs a loss for the bank or other institution that extended the loan to the homeowner. Therefore, the homeowner must negotiate the terms of the sale with the bank before attempting to sell the property. There are a variety of consequences for the owner of a short-sale property.

You contact the bank's loss mitigation department and tell them that you want to start a short sale. You also request their requirements for a short sale and ask them how the process works. It is best to be honest and up front with them and ask questions. The bank wants to avoid foreclosure and will make every effort to do so.
