GLEN COVE HOMES--My bank says I don't qualify for a permanent modification. What now?

More and more, I am getting calls like this from clients. These clients have entered into a temporary loan modification program with their lenders under the Making Homes Affordable Program (HAMP). They made their three months worth of trial payments at a payment they could afford. They thought this would be permanent. Now they are being told that they do qualify, but the payment will be much higher. For example, I have a client whose payment prior to modification was $4800. For her temporary modification, it was $3500. After the trial period, the bank increased it to $4300. Due to a recent divorce and lack of income, she cannot make that amount.

When she spoke with her bank, they told her that she did not qualify under the HAFA program either and her only option was to short sale. She was very upset by this at first, because her home means so much to her and her son. To qualify for the loan mod, she had missed nine months of payments. So under the FHA guidelines, she cannot re-purchase for two years after her short sale.

We spoke a lot about her options. After some soul searching, she decided that she would short sale, become a renter for two years and then look to buy again. It wasn't easy, it's not the ideal outcome she would have chosen, but in the long run she decided it was the best for her. She has now found some peace and a great home that is close to her son's school where the rent is affordable for her. She will begin saving for the down payment for her new home and in two years will buy again. In the meantime, she has saved herself from having a foreclosure on her credit report and the lender released her from all future liens and judgments.

If you find yourself in a similar situation and you bank has told you that short sale is your only option, please contact a real estate professional to help you.

GLEN COVE REAL ESTATE-WHAT IS CONTINGENT VS. PENDING

Many clients are mystified by what the difference between a property that is contingent versus one that is pending. Hopefully, I can clear some of that confusion up for everyone. When you as a buyer place an offer on a property and a seller accepts, you are given a certain number of days to complete your contingencies. A contingency can be an inspection, an appraisal, loan verification, etc. Typically in California the purchase contract allows for standard timeframes for each contingency.

Acceptance begins the day after the acceptance date. So if you get a contact back from the seller on May7th, the clock starts ticking on your contingency period begins on May 8^th.

LOAN APPLICATION, meaning within seven days after acceptance, buyer must provide seller with a letter stating that they are pre-approved with a lender for the NEW loan amount of the property. This is to be done in 7 days after acceptance.

VERIFICATION OF DOWN PAYMNENT AND CLOSING COSTS, buyer shall provide verification via a bank statement, that they do in fact have the funds needed to close the deal. This is to be done in 7 days after acceptance.

APPRAISAL AND CONTINGENCY REMOVAL, meaning that the offer is conditional on the property appraising at no less than the offer price. If it does appraise lower, you have the right to ask seller to sell it to you at appraised price. But know that they also have the right to say no. This is to be done in 17 days after acceptance.

INSPECTION PERIOD, meaning the time that, you as a buyer have to order, complete and review all inspections of a property. This means, your home inspection, roof inspection, pest/termite inspection and any other inspections you choose to have completed. This shall be completed within 17 days after acceptance.

At the end of the 17 days, if this is the timeframe that you have agreed upon, you will sign a REMOVAL OF CONTIGENCIES, stating that you are satisfied with the condition of the property and are choosing to proceed with purchase. If you want to ask for repairs, you need to do it in this timeframe. Once you do this removal, the property is changed to pending. Pending is the time when go to work to finalize everything and get ready to record your home with the county.

ONCE YOU REMOVE CONTIGENCIES, SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO RETAIN YOUR DEPOSIT.

THIS IS WHY YOU NEED A COMPETENT AND EXPERIENCE REALTOR TO KEEP TRACK OF THIS FOR YOU.
