Sandestin Villa Lago Short Sale Approved by Bank of America
Villa Lago Lot 127 Baytowne Loop, Sandestin Florida has been approved for short sale by Bank of America. This was a lengthy approval time frame, but we got it done!
Here are the details:
Original purchase price: $300,000 appr
List price: $65,000 appr
Mortgage holder: Bank of America
Seller Contribution: $8000 appr
Waiver of Deficiency: yes
This one of my longer recent Bank of America short sales. They clocked in at almost six months from contract to approval. I had to escalate the file a few times via Bank of America’s Twitter Team. It did receive attention, as a Vice President called me to follow up. The Bank of America negotiator worked hard to reduce the seller’s cash contribution to get him a waiver of deficiency. This was negotiated down from over $20,000 to about $8,000. The Sandestin homeowners association and Villa Lago homeowners association also reduced their balances to make this sale happen, but Bank of America paid over $10,000 in dues to complete the transaction. The buyer contributed a little toward the HOA balances, as well. In the end, the seller was delighted. This Villa Lago property on Baytowne Loop should close in a few weeks.
