Question about a short sale
Posted on 9/16/12 at 11:22 am

One of my kids has a contract on a home in a short sale. The bank has approved the price.
Now the sellers real estate agent is telling them the bank just put the house in foreclosure.
Do banks usually do something this screwy or do you think the sellers realtor is trying to pull a fast one. I'm wondering if the realtor found a better offer and is just lying.

eh, the bank can do that if they so choose....it just doesn't seem like a smart move unless the bank feels that they can unload it at foreclosure for what's actually owed on it as opposed to taking less than what's owed if they short it.
I seriously doubt that the Realtor has any control over the situation. The bank is going to make all the calls. To be sure, just tell the Realtor to get you proof that the home has been set for foreclosure.

The bank can still activate the foreclosure at any time depending how delinquent the borrower is. Shouldn't affect the short sale approval.

I suspect the there was either a Mortgage Insurance company, a second lien holder or both that mucked up the deal. A short sale might have been in the lender/servicers best interest, but not necessarily everyone else's.
The more parties Invovled, the less likely it is that the short sale will close successfully.
ETA: There's nothing stopping your kid from buying the property after it becomes an REO (after foreclosure).
