Delinquent borrowers must obtain preapproved short-sale price from bank
Bank of America says it will provide up to
$30,000 in relocation assistance to delinquent borrowers who
work with the bank to obtain a preapproved short-sale price
before submitting purchase offers, Inman News reported.
Short sales must be initiated by the end of
this year and close by Sept. 26, 2013, to be eligible for the
payments, which will range from $2,500 to $30,000 at the
completion of a qualifying short sale.
Payments will be determined on a case-by-case basis using a calculation that includes the value of the home, amount owed and other considerations, Bank of America said in announcing the program.
The program -- based on a similar incentive offer Bank of America tested last year in Florida will be available nationally. But Bank of America anticipates the greatest response will come from borrowers in California, Nevada, Arizona, Florida, and other states hit hardest by the economic downturn and falling property values.
Customers who believe they may be eligible for Bank of America's short-sale relocation assistance program may contact program specialists at (877) 459-2852. Qualifying short sales that have already started but have not closed may be eligible for the program.
Bank of America says its short-sale initiatives have generated 200,000 short sales in the last two years and another 30,000 in the first three months of this year.
Last month, Bank of America announced it was shortening decision times on short-sale offers to 20 days, down from 45 days or longer.
