Life as a Game…

Comments Off  | 

 

Good Morning My Wonderful Beautiful and Very Wet Bay Area!!…

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them -

Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit

and you’re keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass.

If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.

They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.”

WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME.

GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

How Long Do Short Sales Take??…

question

 

Hellooooo my Beautiful Wonderful San Francisco Bay Area!!… The Burning Question of the Day!!

Everyone listen up… NOT ALL BANKS have the same requirements to close short sales… Dont Assume they’re all the same… ding ding ding… please wake up sellers, buyers and agents!!… alarm clock

The short sale process is generally as follows…

  • Complete Short Sale Package from seller and submit…
  • Submit Offer…
  • Bank acknowledges receipt…. 10 to 30 days…
  • Bank orders BPO or appraisal… 30 to 60 days…
  • File is reviewed… 30 to 60 days…
  • Negotiator is assigned… 30 to 60 days…
  • Level 2 Negotiator may be assigned… 30-60 days…
  • File is approved or rejected… 60-120 days…

If you’re running past 120 days… its possible the listing agent or a 3rd party negotiator isnt on the ball and very lax in contacting the bank… calling the bank can mean waiting on hold anywhere from10 minutes to an hour or longer… or it could also mean the bank has internal problems ie) not enough staff or lost the file a few times… causing agents to resend packages over and over… You cant always avoid problems in a short sale… PATIENCE is key… threats to walk away from your offer means nothing to the bank… stick it out and wait… if you really truly want the home….
