If You Are A BUYER Looking To Purchase A Short Sale Home, Let The Home Dream Team Help You!
We Will Keep You Up To Date On Each Phase Of The Process & Keep You Informed Throughout The Buying Experience.



Each Short Sale Has A 3 Phase Process:


Phase 1: An offer has been made on a property. The listing agent has to send the following to the bank: the listing agreement, the full listing, authorization to speak on the client's behalf, a hardship letter, financial statements from the past three months, full contract, buyer lender letter, & a preliminary HUD. Times vary by lenders, but most have a 30-45 day update time.

Phase 2: An appraisal of a property is ordered. Once into the bank, a bank negotiator is assigned. Once the negotiator is assigned, they will look over the short sale package from phase 1 & request any missing documents or to update any financial documents. Once they have everything in, they will complete the short sale package & send it to the investor. Times vary by lender, but the negotiator has approximately 30-60 days to complete this phase.

Phase 3: The investor is sent the complete short sale package & reviews all the information. They have 30 days to either accept or reject the offer & sale.
