This year, we have personally experienced less number of short sale listings and closings compared to 2010 when 25 % of our closed transactions were subject to a lenders approval of a short sale.  We've blogged about short sales many times before. The length of time involved in completing a short sale transaction can vary from lender to lender and be slow (months) or quick (days). Whenever we have a short sale transaction that goes relatively smoothly, we feel blessed:) This was the case with a property we listed in Northwest Indiana that closed in only 53 days after an accepted offer to purchase! It was our 1st short sale since the new MARS Law went into effect a few months ago. Indiana Short Sales are impacted by HB 1359, which, in many cases, helps expedite the transaction.   Northwe... 05/25/2011

Third Time's The Charm - Another Short Sale Property Listed By F.C. Tucker 1st Team Real Estate in NW Indiana and CLOSED.  Back in mid April we listed a Property in Porter County, IN subject to lenders approval of a short sale. Short Sales are Not a Game. First, you need a sale-able property in good condition and a cooperative seller. The short sale process is MUCH more involved than a traditional real estate transaction. Next, you have to hope for a negotiator from the lenders loss mitigation department assigned to the file who is adept at the process and at communicating in a timely fashion. WE were very fortunate = we HAD BOTH OF THE ABOVE ! However finding a READY, WILLING and ABLE buyer was a journey of 5 months. We had an offer within 7 days of listing the home on the MLS which fe... 09/18/2010
