Bank of America made some changes over the weekend and are now hoping that these changes will reduce decision times on short sale offers to 20 days, which is down from 45 days or longer (with emphasis on the longer). BoA will now be conducting tasks simultaneously, such as document collection, valuations and underwriting. Of course now that BoA says they’re expediting everything, they’re also expediting the back end so that agents only have five days to submit a backup offer should the primary buyer walk away. This should be less of an issue as most buyers walking from short sales do so because they’re waiting a lot longer than the new 20 day period that BoA is targeting.

As of Saturday, April 14th, Bank of America is requiring a new third-party authorization form for newly initiated short sales initiated. And due to the system changes, five documents will be required to process short sales initiated with an offer in Equator (their online short sale management tool):

• A purchase contract including buyer’s acknowledgment and disclosure.
• HUD-1.
• IRS Form 4506-T.
• Bank of America short-sale addendum.
• Bank of America third-party authorization form.

So for all of us Atlanta Short Sale Realtors, let us hope that this is truly meaningful change and not something more than another attempt for some positive PR from BoA. We certainly work hard to help Atlanta homeowners avoid foreclosure and we definitely appreciate it when the banks are up to the task. But rest assured, no matter how the processes change, we will continue to assist your short sale needs and keep fighting for you every step of the way.
