How a HAFA Short Sale Can Benefit YOU!

Hello Hampton Roads,

A HAFA Short Sale is a government assisted short sale that is more streamlined, easier, and faster to process than a regular short sale.  HAFA offers a faster timeline than a traditional short sale and provides monetary incentives to distressed homeowners, servicers and subordinate lien holders to make the process mutually beneficial to all parties.

Here are some of the highlights:

• A pre-approved selling price or acceptable sales proceeds amount
• A minimum of 120 days to market the property-maximum 360 days and the foreclosure process is stopped during this time!
• A 10 day time frame to respond to offers to purchase the home
• Debt is eliminated--there is NO deficiency judgment 
• A homeowner may not even have to claim the forgiven debt as income per the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007  (H.R. 3648)--but HURRY as this expires in Dec. 31, 2012!
• No promissory notes or cash is required to close from the homeowner 
• $3000 in relocation assistance to the homeowner
• $2200 to the servicer for a successfully closed short sale
• Up to an aggregate total of $6K to subordinate lien holders to release their liens

Over 80% of primary residences in distress are eligible for HAFA short sales.  If you or someone you know is considering a short sale or other foreclosure option, feel free to contact me!  If I list your home as short sale, my services to the homeowner are FREE.  Visit http://www.NewStartTransitions.com and fill out the contact form for a confidential, no obligation consultation.
