The Procedures
After you submit your offer to the bank, it may take ten days to a month before you are approved. Don’t worry, your Providence short sale agents will keep you informed.
Once a negotiator is assigned to your case (which usually takes 30-60 days), a BPO is ordered. A BPO (Broker Price Opinion) is generally not disclosed.
Your case will then be sent to a PSA for review. The Pooling Servicer Agreement will secure your loan with an investor. This may take 14-30 days. Next, all parties involved will need to sign an Arm’s-Length Affidavit. This is a commonly used agreement to prevent mortgage fraud.
Once all of your paperwork is submitted, your bank will issue your approval letter. At this point, your Rhode Island Short Sale Agent can assist you with finding a qualified buyer. Though the process is lengthy, you will have enough time to decide what your family’s next move will be. Our agents can help you locate your next home or apartment, and you can become adjusted to the idea of moving.
