Sample Letter: Short Sale Letter of Authorization

One of the first items an agent will need is to get a Letter of Authorization signed by the owner.  This authorization when faxed into the lender will allow your agent the authority to speak with the lender regarding your loan.  This does not give the agent the authority to make any changes to your loan.  

What I do:  First fax in this authorization along with a letter requesting information on owner assist programs, status of the loans, payoff information and short sale requirement package to be faxed back to me.  I first give the lender time to circulate it to the correct department and contact person, then I call to verify that they received the fax and if they have authorized me to speak to them as a follow up.

Once I received the information I requested, I will notify the owner.
