Flagstar Bank Mortgage Short Sale

Flagstar Bank Mortgage Short Sale Process

Some investors have a requirement that you will first have to apply for Flagstar Bank Loan Modification but once you have been declined for it the process becomes pretty simple:

1. To initiate the short sale process our representative will have to place a call to the Flagstar Bank and talk to their councellor.
2. You fill be required to completely fill the Flagstar Request for Mortgage Assistance form and submit it with supporting documents and finances.
3. Property valuation will have to be scheduled and completed by Broker’s price opinion (Certain Investors Require Two Interior Inspections)
4. Negotiation of terms with Flagstar Bank About Short Sale Fees And Costs To Be Paid Out Of The Seller’s Proceeds.
5. Lender Provides A Response To Short Sale Offer Made.

The short sale process with Flagstar Bank is never easy and anyone who has been through the process will know this. A lot of problems will have to be faced. Its very typical that you will have to repeat the same steps again and again. You should know that we will have to run around from department to department during the Flagstar Bank short sale process. The Loan Modification Department maybe needs to close it out, or the short sale department doesn’t have someone assigned to Flagstar Customers Service Department; Above all you need to know better when they are sending you in the wrong direction. Often clients come to us after submitting the wrong information on their application, getting denied, and not being able to figure out what happened. We can help you review any declines.

Flagstar Bank Short Sale Timeline

It can be really helpful to the process if you know what effects the Flagstar Bank Short sale timeline. These are just a few of the hoops we jump through when dealing with a short sale.

• For one, Flagstar Bank is just a mortgage note service providing company. Flagstar Bank Short Sale Application is generally only a piece of what governs Flagstar Bank’s mortgage servicing as they have to bide by the PSA or Pooling and Servicing Agreement that sets the rules for each and every loan; This contract is directly between servicer and investor. Flagstar Bank is not allowed to make all the decisions themselves. The investor only authorises the company to take the decisions themselve in some of the cases only so for the decision that they are not authorised to make they will have to get permission from the investor. Some investors such as Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) have pulled almost all decision making authority from many servicers. The more layers of burueacracy you’re going to deal with the longer it’s going to take.
• Additionally, The fact that if your Flagstar loan has a sale date also effects the timeline of the short sale process. Flagstar can be a lot difficult to deal with when it comes to stopping of foreclosure process so Flagstar short sale can be completed. Your chances of getting bumped up in the process can improve if you can get a value completed. As a loan servicer they have homes being sold at auction every day. Sale dates even for the coming week are not worked with ugency you would expect. As a first come first serve business model it can also be influenced by foreclosure status and proximity to the upcoming sale date (if applicable).
• Finally, not all negotiators were created equal; This goes for both sides. Often miscomunication is the number one reason while a short sale fails. People become very specialized in this niche of representing homeowners (borrowers) infront of Flagstar Mortgage in these financial application processes to find mortgage assistance. Often you will be put though the multiple levels of management including approval from an investor as mentioned above depending on what their total losses are.
