I swear my business partner, Jenny, has the magic touch for working with the lenders on our short sale listings in Benicia, CA.  We celebrate each step it takes to reach final approval from the bank for our sellers.

It seems like every Friday brings us a bonanza of short sale information from the lenders.  Today a short sale we have been working on for many months with Aurora, changed servicers to LBPS in August, gave us verbal acknowledgment with the terms and that the letter was coming next week.  That is always music to our ears, our sellers ears and the buyers ears!!

Also today we learned Wells Fargo ordered a BPO (broker price opinion-not a full appraisal but an opinion form another Realtor) for a Benicia Short Sale listing we just got in contract two weeks ago.  This is a short sale success step as we know they do not order this unless there is merit to the short sale to begin with.

Another short sale success step happened when the negotiator for a Vallejo, CA listing said we do not have to start all over again because a buyer walked last week.  Buyers are notorious for not hanging in there.  And we were sooooo close.  The negotiator said just send him a new offer.  Of course I have been spitting nail because it has taken them so long, however, my playing nice, I believe it bought us some brownie points in accomplishing what we need to when the next offer comes in and stay a possible foreclosure date.  This short sale is with a local credit union.

Our mantra with short sales is "take it a step at a time". When you take it a step at a time, the chances of a successful Benicia, CA Short Sales being closed go up exponentially!!
