Short Sale Requirements - Seller Documents

Short Sale Requirements


There are a handful of requirements that you must get from the property seller in order for a short sale to even to begin to be processed and for the banks to even take you serious.


If you're a listing agent for a Short Sale Seller, it will make the process go a lot smoother if you get these documents from the get go and submit them to the bank with your offer. When you submit them to the bank you should fax them in and then call LM to make sure they were received. If not, do it again and again...until their intercepted by the Loss Mitigation Offense.


1. 4 Most Recent Bank Statements


2. 3 Most Recent Tax Returns (1040's) & W2's


3. 3 Months of most recent pay stubs


4. Hand written Hardship letter (Stating series of events that has led you into foreclosure)


5. Medical Bills/Other Relevant documentation


6. Listing Agreement if house was/is listed with a realtor


7. Notice of default (sent by the Mortgagee)


8. Financial statement (list of assets and expenses)
