Help! Property Mngmt Co Leased My Approved Short Sale that is in Foreclosure for 12 months

10-02-09

Help. Can a property management company lease a property for 12 months knowing that there is a Trustee Sale Date & the property is listed for sale? I have a short sale listing in Arizona that I have finally received an approval from the lender and escrow has been opened. The seller had a tenant in the property when I first listed the property, but moved out shortly. Four months have gone by and I found out yesterday that the home was just leased out for 12 months. We are suppose to be closing escrow on the property in two weeks. The property management company states they had an agreement with the seller to go ahead and rent the property. However, the seller states they were told only month to month and this was prior to us finally receiving an acceptance on the short sale. The seller did not even know the property had been rented yesterday. The property management entered the home, and changed the locks. Not sure how they got the key, because the locks were changed by the seller's lender and I was given the new key. I don't see how a property management company can lease a property for 12 months to tenants knowing that the property is in foreclosure and could be foreclosed on at anytime. I have requested several times for the sale date to be postponed. The property management says they did nothing wrong. If the property does not close escrow at the end of the month because there are tenants there, then it will foreclose. The seller loses, but the tenants now have rights to stay. Doesn't seem right to me. Is this fraud or against the law?

I have an Vintage Original Blonde German Bild Lilli for sale. Predecessor doll to Barbie. She is wearing a tennis outfit. Her stand says Bild-Lilli. No broken limbs. The doll was given to me by my grandmother who was born in Germany. This is the doll that Ruth handler found while shopping in Europe in 1956, and was exactly what she had been thinking of producing. She bought three dolls; gave one to daughter Barbie and the others to her designers at Mattel. Barbie debuted at the New York toy fair on March 9th, 1959. A bit before this time Mattel acquired the rights to Lilli. You may contact me via email: donnas27@msn.com if you are looking for a Bild Lilli to buy and would like more information on her price. This is not a clone.

Arizona MLS & Fannie Mae Team Up

12-31-08
Donna Graham

ARMLS (Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service) has joined forces with Fannie Mae to launch a pre-approval pilot. which is intended to help streamline the Short Sale process. The pilot will pre-approve the listing price of the home. The lender will accept the offer if the transaction meets other standard requirements (e.g., asset check, fraud detection, and no second liens, etc.).

Currently, Countrywide Home Loans is the only lender participating in the pilot with ARMLS. The pilot will last for 90 days and if successful realtors will be able to indicate on their MLS listings that it is "Fannie Mae Pre-Approved.

Benefits for REALTORS®

. Increases transparency on the Short Sale process
. Minimizes the guesswork for your clients on price negotiations
. Offers direct access to the lender who is servicing the loan
. Provides a powerful tool to market and differentiate listings

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I hope it works. I have many short sale listings with Countrywide Home Loans and they all have been lengthy in the approval process.

Any other MLS out there trying anything similar?
