The Slowest Short Sale Deal Ever

PostDateIcon July 2nd, 2010



Kevin Kauffman is together for forgettable Friday by the forever dapper, Coach Collard. We’ve got a small situation to share with you today about a listing that Fred and Kevin took in November of 2008.

So, a year and a half ago, Kevin and Fred took a listing in the Scottsdale, AZ area listed at $330,000. That is what the property was worth in November of 2008. Remember that the market was still diving steadily at that point. They got an offer at $330,000 and took it to bank. Using the same short sale procedure, they kept getting rejected. There was a dispute on the value of the house and were constantly rejected through January of 2009.

The first servicer on the folder was COuntrywide and the second was Bank of America. At that moment in time Bank of America was in a very tough spot. Also, in the middle of this progression was the Countrywide unification which formed additional problems.

We put the home back on the market and got another proposal at $270,000 and got rejected. The buyer ultimately walked away from that. Again, we got an offer at $265,000 and again the agreement was rejected and the buyer walked away.

It has been an exceptionally testing folder because we rarely go through one or two offers, but with this folder we have had many buyers walk away. We finally got an offer accepted at $255,000 in the first quarter of 2010 after six weeks. After the inspection, the buyers walked. Nevertheless, we had another buyer with the identical proposal and same net proceeds for the bank. The negotiator did not think that was an easily approvable deal. It took an extra thirty days to review and were rejected for the identical proposal that was accepted before.

So, we had to escalate to the investor and bring this to their awareness. The investor looked into the folder and found out that the agreement was accepted. Over a 19 month period a lender rejected multiple better proposals purely because of lack of communication.

What does Group 46:10 stand for?
Group 46:10 is the unique name of our real estate team. The name is derived from a scripture in the Old Testament, Isaiah 46:10. This scripture reads. . .

"I (God) make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please."

To us, this scripture summarizes one of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, "Thinking with the End in Mind." At Group 46:10 our mission is to meet, handle, and exceed

"All Your Real Estate Needs from Beginning to End."

Don’t Just Take my Word…

I would recommend Kevin Kauffman to anyone trying to sell a house or any new home buyer in the market for a house. Kevin's communications skills are what make him a great Real Estate agent. He always provided up-dates on our house situation and was always available to take my calls anytime. His understanding of the market and his ability to market our property aggressively lead to the house selling in a down market.
~Matthew S.

Fred exceeded my expectations when it came to selling my three homes. His follow up, thoroughness, and knowledge of the marketplace made the transactions effortless! Fred is exactly who you want to be working with when buying or selling a home!

It is my pleasure to talk with you about my experiences with Fred Weaver in my real estate situation. I was unable to make my house payments on both homes and was looking for options that would not involve a foreclosure or bankruptcy. Fred and I sat down after I missed my first payment and decided to list my home for sale. Fred was in constant contact with my 1st & 2nd lenders. We received an offer at which time Fred ordered an appraisal to support the offers position and let the Lender know that this was a proper offer. The offer was accepted, the house sold, no foreclosure or bankruptcy. Fred was the person that made this all happen as he was patient and very knowledgeable about the "short sale" process. Fred gave us peace of mind, handled everything for us and truly worked hard to make it all happen, Thanks Fred!

My wife and I would whole-heartedly recommend Kevin Kauffman to help you with the sale of your home. We found ourselves in a complicated situation when our income fell and we were unable to keep up with our mortgage payments. Kevin helped us analyze the situation and plot a course that would help us out of the situation. Kevin and his team quickly listed the home and we were amazed at how quickly we saw results. Kevin was amazing at following up with our 1st and 2nd lenders to make sure the sale went through without any snags once he found qualified buyers. He kept us in the loop at each step of the process. When it came time to close, Kevin really went the extra mile to see the sale through. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment when deciding to work with Kevin – you can trust him to professionally sell your home.
~ Jason & Carrie H.

I would highly recommend Kevin Kauffman to anyone trying to sell or short sell their property. Kevin is truly in expert in his field of Short Sale / REO Sales, and knows exactly how to navigate the long and difficult process with the lender. Within several weeks of listing my property, Kevin already had several qualified offers that we were ready to present to the bank. When the bank appraisal (or BPO in this case) came back too high the contract amount, Kevin worked diligently with the lender to contest, and successfully revise the appraisal amount to keep our deal alive. In the end the deal moved forward and closed without a hitch. Kevin was always readily accessible and was proactive in providing updates every step of the way. If you are looking for a knowledgeable expert to sell your home, look no further than Kevin Kauffman.

Kevin Kauffman is a truly great real estate professional that can get the job done. He sold my father's home in a down market in a timely manner. He has good follow up skills, and he explained everything thoroughly throughout the process. The real estate transaction was an effortless one. He is extremely friendly and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their home, even in this difficult market.
~Samie M.

We were struggling with a financial situation due to the current economic conditions and was unable to continue making monthly payments on 2 of our rental properties. We did not want to foreclose, but wasn't sure what our options were. A realtor referred us to Kevin Kauffman and Fred Weaver, and after speaking with him, they were able to clearly discuss our options and guide us thru the process of short selling both of our properties. I can’t thank them enough for the outstanding work they did, to short sale both of these properties. We are so grateful and would tell anyone that’s facing the same situation that it was truly a pleasure doing business with Kevin and Fred and that they were so helpful and knowledgeable in guiding us through the short sale process.
~Jerry and Darlene J.
