Stop Foreclosure: Work the BPO Agent for a Short Sale Success!

Denver, CO – The real estate Broker you hire to short sale your house should know how to “influence the BPO.”

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

The Broker's Price Opinion (BPO) is a market value opinion of the home, performed by another real estate agent hired by a third party company (asset management company) for the bank / lender.

This function is important to the lenders in their attempt to obtain a fair market value of the home requesting the short sale approval. The lenders want to make sure that when they negotiate with the home owner in agreeing to a short pay-off, that they are getting a "fair" value for the home.

Many of the real estate agents doing BPOs have a heavy work load and will do many of them a day. We as the short sale broker want to make sure they are using the BEST information out there for our clients.

It is important that the information reflects the accurate market conditions and it is presented properly to the lender through the BPO!

Your short sale broker should provide the best market evaluation information to the BPO agent, and to include a property condition report and the feedback from other brokers that have performed showings on the short sale property.

An hour spent influencing a BPO will save countless hours later escalating a file or negotiating more offers. This influence is NOT to "twist the arm" of the BPO agent, but to assist them in preparing the BPO with good hard facts of the market and your property conditions.

If the BPO says the home is worth close to the short sale price, then the short sale will make more sense to ALL parties, and then result in a quicker short sale approval.

Stop Foreclosure: Determining the Value of Your Short Sale Property!

Denver, CO – It is very helpful in loan modification and short sale negotiations to know the fair market value of your home. You can use the value to convince your lender to accept your loan modification or short sale offer!

As an experienced Short Sale Realtor, I can help you determine the value of your home. Here’s how I do that.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

First, I will look at ALL of the homes similar to yours that have sold in the last 6 months. I will pick out the 3 homes that are most similar to yours.

Here are a few things that will cause me to pick one home versus another: Home has very similar features, number of bedrooms, and number of bathrooms. I also prefer to use bank owned and short sale properties.

Yes, it is true that bank owned properties usually sell for less than non bank owned homes. But, if your lender denies your loan modification or short sale and chooses to foreclose, then they will be selling the house as a bank owned property.

I might as well use the comparable sales closest to how they will be selling the property. After I pick out the 3 closest comparable sales, then I do a Comparable Market Analysis.

First, I make adjustments to the other sales. For example, if a home has 10% more living space, then I might adjust it’s comparable value by 5-8%.

After I make all the adjustments I average the sales price of the 3 similar homes. That gives me the fair market value of the home.

This process is very similar to what appraisers do, but it is not an appraisal. Rather, it is a Realtor’s Professional Opinion of your home’s value, based on previous sales. These SOLD properties tell us what the Buying Market is willing to pay!

Remember, it is THAT Buying Market that truly dictates what the Market Value really is!!

What do banks rely on? They will perform their own Broker’s Price Opinion. The short version is BPO. Is it a good valuation of your home? The banks do believe they are, and that is why they hire third party companies to hire local Realtors to perform the BPO.

In fact, they have used another Realtor’s opinion of the value to determine if they should approve or deny a short sale. Make sure your Short Sale Realtor is on board with how to work with a Realtor performing a BPO on your home so that it truly reflects what is going on in this neighborhood!!

Stop Foreclosure: Loan Modification Loss Comparison Calculator

Westminster CO – If you are looking to convince your lender to approve your loan modification, then here is a tool you might find useful.

Here is a sample calculator you can use to convince your lender to approve your loan modification.

Thinking about a loan modification?Our Westminster loan modification guide will show you how to reduce your mortgage payment, keep your home, and get back on your feet. Request your FREE copy, below!

The numbers below are an example. You can get your home value from an experienced short sale realtor, or an appraiser.

Current Home Value: $240,000.

Current Prevailing Interest Rate on a 30 year mortgage: 4.02%.

Current monthly payment on a $240,000 mortgage at 4.02% interest over 30 years: $1,148.57.

What I am offering to repay monthly on my loan modification: $1,400. $1,400 over 30 years will repay a $292,538 mortgage at 4.02%.

That means your bank will actually make $52,538 by approving my loan modification.

Do you think that calculation will make it easier to get your loan modification approved by your bank? I think so. Use it in your negotiations with your lender.

Stop Foreclosure: Discover Who Owns Your Loan When Negotiating!

Denver, CO – In our last post, we talked about how you could contact the entity that owns a loan. But, some people were wondering how they could find out who owned their loan.

"I thought ABC Bank owned my loan. I send them a payment every month", they told us. Well, here is how to research the owner of your loan.

Thinking about a loan modification?Our Westminster loan modification guide will show you how to reduce your mortgage payment, keep your home, and get back on your feet. Request your FREE copy, below!


Between 65% and 70% of all loan losses are borne by Uncle Sam. He has direct/indirect ownership or insures against losses thru the following entities: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and the Veterans Loan Program (VA.)

Here is how to find out if your loan is owned by any of those entities.

Fannie Mae. http://loanlookup.fanniemae.com/loanlookup/

Freddie Mac. https://ww3.freddiemac.com/corporate/

FHA. Towards the top right corner of the first page of the mortgage, there should be a small square. Inside the square, it will say "FHA Case Number 091-424240-703." The case number will be different, but it will still be an FHA loan.

VA. On the mortgage, 1-4 pages past the signature page will be a VA Rider. At the top it will say "NOTICE: THIS LOAN IS NOT ASSUMABLE WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS." That is a VA loan.

Now you know how to hold your lender accountable. The remaining loans are probably owned by that bank. If that is the case, then you threaten to contact their stockholders. Anyone want to "crash" a stockholder meeting?

Stop Foreclosure: Banks Need to be Called Out!!

Denver, CO – In our last post, we ranted about how the bankers do a lousy, incompetent job on short sale and loan modification negotiations.

Here is how you can avoid suffering under their incompetence. The key is to hold your bank accountable. Here's how to do that.

Thinking about a loan modification?Our Westminster loan modification guide will show you how to reduce your mortgage payment, keep your home, and get back on your feet. Request your FREE copy, below!


Tell them they can do as good of a job or as bad of a job as they want to on your short sale or loan modification. But, if they do not approve it, and lose money as a result, then you will report them.

Here is an example from an email we sent to a short sale negotiator. (Some of the details have been changed to protect the home seller's identity.)

1. We have had the property at 193 NE Brock Lane for sale for over 4 months. Any buyer who would be interested in that house knows about it. They have decided not to make an offer.

The current offer is for $230,000. That is the highest and best offer we have received on this house. 2. I do not foresee a better offer coming in.

3. I project that if you reject this short sale and foreclose, then the home will sell for around $200,000. Here is how I came up with that number.

A. The local real estate market is declining by about 5% annually.

B. The foreclosure case is going very slow and will probably run for another 9-12 months.

C. Foreclosures sell for about 10% less than other listings.

4. The loan is owned by Fannie Mae. That means they and every American Taxpayer are the ones that stand to lose $30,000 or more. I will be contacting Fannie Mae, all of the members of congress, and my local newspaper.

I will let them know that you, John Doe, rejected this short sale and caused Uncle Sam to lose (another) $30,000.

Do you see how this holds them accountable? This strategy works for loans mods, too. Just run the numbers and see what the projected losses are going to be.

Stop Foreclosure: Occupy Wall Street Misses the Target on Banks!

Denver, CO – Occupy Wall Street Protestors are not having the best success attacking Wall Street and the banks. But, that is because they are complaining about what they think is wrong with the situation.

Thinking about a loan modification?Our Westminster loan modification guide will show you how to reduce your mortgage payment, keep your home, and get back on your feet. Request your FREE copy, below!


If the protestors only knew the level of incompetence in the banks, then they would have a better argument. Here are some of the glaring mistakes we see the bankers make.

1. Doing an incompetent job on short sales and losing tens of thousands of dollars as a result. We have seen many banks turn down short sale offers only to foreclose on the home and sell it for $30,000 less.

2. Kicking people out of their homes only to lose more money as a result. Many people's homes have dropped in value.

At the same time their income has dropped. But, they can afford to repay the bank, only a lower amount. But, do the banks make the loan modification process easy?

No. Instead, they kick people that could repay them $200,000 out of their homes and then sell the home for $165,000. Again, tens of thousands of dollars are lost.

Yes, I can appreciate that the Occupy Protestors are angry at how hard it is to get a job. But, what about the Americans that are kicked out of their homes?

What about the taxpayers losing thousands bailing out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA? A large part of that bailout cost is attributable to the lousy job banks are doing on short sales and loan modifications.

I think homeowners and taxpayers getting the raw end of the deal are the silent majority. But, we don't have time to protest. so, the banks get away with incompetence. Enough of my rant.

Do you want to be part of the solution. Get a loan modification or short sale your home. You will be doing your part to help the economy.

Stop Foreclosure: Do the Problems In Greece Affect Us?

Denver, CO – The Greeks are finding themselves in hot water. They have maxed out their credit.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

The government borrowed money and is having a hard time paying it back today. Here is what most people don't understand about how a national economy works.

When the government reduces interest rates to boost the economy and spending, they are actually only acting as a co-signer on the loan. Here is a real life comparison.

Let's say a wealthy person has lots of kids. I'll call him Mr. Wealthy. To boost his kid’s economic activity he lends them money at 1% interest.

However, because he has so many kids, pretty soon he has lent all of his own money. So he starts borrowing money from someone else at 6%.

Pretty soon he has maxed out his credit. In addition, he is also paying the difference in interest payments between 1% and 6% each month. That difference is almost ready to eat up his remaining savings. After he runs out of money; he'll be broke. Let me ask you a question?

How much longer will his kids be able to enjoy below market 1% interest rates? It doesn't sound like much longer to me.

This is what happens when a government with a good credit rating borrows money and re-lends it to citizens for below market interest rates.

It sounds to me like Greece borrowed a lot of money from foreigners and is now having a hard time repaying the debt. A bailout from Germany, the EU, and the IMF hasn't stopped their problems yet.

And it doesn't look like it will be anything other than a short term band-aid. Many say that when Greece does default it will send shock waves thru the global economy.

Who really knows? Either way, it is still a good idea to get rid of upside down debt with a short sale.

Stop Foreclosure: Get the Lender to Waive the Deficiency Recourse!

Denver, CO – We had received an email from another Real Estate Broker, Dean, from the Colorado Springs area, and he had a very good question about deficiencies. Here is Dean's question.

“"I have a very sensitive situation with a couple that will have a job transfer out of state, and we were concerned about the short pay-off deficiency. Will Bank of America approve this with NO recourse for the deficiency debt?, Dean.”

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

A Quick Note: The reason he is asking this question is because Bank of America uses the same short sale approval letter for all their short sales. In most cases, we have been able to get BOA to state in their approval letter they would "waive" any recourse for the outstanding debt!

In this situation with Dean's clients, a clause in the letter states that BOA and or its investors may pursue the seller for a deficiency judgment. It is a standard, boiler plate letter put together by their attorneys. Most short sale negotiators refuse to remove that language. BOA’s legal department puts it there because it protects them against lawsuits.

There are a couple of issues to briefly address on this case. The deficiency and the legitimate Hardship situation due to the job transfer.

But, if you are a seller then you want to know for sure that you won’t be chase down for a deficiency. If BOA won’t remove that language, then you can’t know for sure whether or not you will be pursued for a deficiency.

Here was our answer to his question. We have convinced BOA on many occasions to remove the deficiency language on a short sale. It's just a matter of requesting it and the owner of the loan being willing to remove it.

We approach the negotiator that they SHOULD NOT pursue the borrowers due to the legitimate hardship of the Job Transfer! This is REALLY a strong negotiating point for the seller; and in most cases, they should never have to impact their credit, by missing payments in order to work the short sale with the lender! Use this to the advantage of the seller!!

(Bank of America doesn’t always own the loan themselves) Ask for an approval letter that states they are waiving all future collection rights.

Important Notice

Dan Hopper, Remax Alliance, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
