Another short sale was just closed with Chase. Although the property was located here in San Diego, our sellers lived in Colorado. Although they are located out of state, it does not cause a problem in getting the short sale approved. All of the communications are handled via email/phone and the paperwork is done through FedEx. Our sellers trusted us because we stayed in constant communication throughout the entire process. Here’s some information about the property
10627 Caminito Banyon
San Diego, CA 92131
Sale Price: $203,000
Financing: Cash
1st lien: Chase
2nd Lien: N/A
Chase Short Sale Approval Letter
Over $200,000 was written off, the sellers were released of any deficiency rights and they did not have to bring in any money to close.
This short sale was not an easy process. It took almost a full year (we took the listing in April of 2010) to get this finished. Because of the condition of the property, it was difficult to get a buyer, yet alone keep one! On top of that, the BPO came in a lot higher than what any buyer was willing to offer. We had to constantly go back and forth with comps to show that this was at fair market value. After a lot of negotiation between the buyers and Chase, we were finally able to reach a price that they both could agree with.
While not an easy process, especially with the sellers living in another state, we’ve learned once again, that persistence and patience pays off.

Hello, thank you for posting this information. We also have a Chase loan and might be interested in doing a short sale. We are a little scared because our friends got an approval for thier short sale but it didn’t have the wording that waives the deficiency balance. Do you have to fight to have that on the letter? We are afraid of them coming back on us in the future. Thanks! Ali

Hi Ali – Yes, it is definitely something that needs to be negotiated & “fought” for. Even on non-recourse loans, we find them trying to put the recourse verbiage in. Most of the time, the realtors negotiating don’t know what they’re doing and it ends up costing the clients big. Please email or give us a call and we can go over your situation in further detail. Thanks! Glen
