Cenlar Short Sale Timeline

When dealing with Cenlar Loan’s Short Sale timelines vary on some very basic and other not so basic elements. These are just a few of the hoops we jump through when dealing with a short sale.

• For one, Cenlar FSB is only a servicer of mortgage notes. Therefore, Cenlar FSB’S mortgage division has to abide by the PSA or Pooling and Servicing Agreement that governs the loans. This contract is directly between servicer and investor. It is not always an option for Cenlar FSb to make the decisions. The investor for whom they are servicing the loan have delegated only some decisions to Cenlar so for other decisions they have to get permission from the investor. Some investors such as Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) have pulled almost all decision making authority from many servicers. As always the greater the number of hands in the put the more layers of burueacracy you’re going to deal with.
• Additionally, what affects the timeline of the short sale is whether or not your Cenlar Loan has a sale date. Cenlar FSB is tough when it comes to homes in foreclosure and stopping the sale date for an Cenlar Short Sale to be completed. If you can get a value completed often your chances improve your getting bumped up in the process. Cenlar Loan Servicing has homes being sold at auction every day. Sale dates even for the coming week are not working with ugency. Remember this business is a first come first serve but it is also influenced by foreclosure status and proximity to the sale date.
• Finally, not all negotiators are good negotiators. This goes for both sides. Often miscomunication In the banking world can lead to certain failure. People become very specialized in this niche of representing homeowners infront of Cenlar Financial Corporation in these financial application processes to find mortgage assistance. Often you will be put though the multiple levels of management including approval from an investor as mentioned above depending on what their total losses are.
