]]> Comment on HAFA short sales with Bank of America are failing – GRADE = F by Catherine Myers http://diablovalley.net/hafa-short-sales-with-bank-of-america-are-failing-grade-f/#comment-9 Catherine Myers Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:17:01 +0000 http://diablovalley.net/?p=769#comment-9 Thanks for popping by Mike! I appreciate your comments and enjoy learning from you on the short sale strategy board. I hope you're having better luck with HAFA than I have. Certainly there have been a few success stories, but the HAFA deals with B of A are my least favorite short sale to work on as there is always some flub or mix up. Always! Thanks for popping by Mike!

Though sad & unfortunate, property owners need to hear the TRUTH about these failed government programs. From Sarasota (FL), I too have experienced the EXACT same with HAFA and Bank of America. One would think outsourcing the paperwork to these "processors such as AMS would expedite the process - WRONG! Property owners ask my opinion of and experience with HAFA - they are interested in the $3,000. I hate having to be the bearer of bad news. HAFA - not even once - has benefited a property owner. They string us along for months LONGER than a traditional short sale. Seems though that after they've strung us along for months longer, they REJECT property owner for HAFA after saying at beginning property owner qualified. Now, we're forced to START OVER with a traditional short sale. MADDENING! You're providing a wonderful service, Catherine, by educating your customers as well as you do. You may not be filled with happy-talk, but property owners need to know the TRUTH about (through your vast experience with) short sales. Mike Payne Great info, Catherine!
