Home Affordable Foreclosure Avoidance Short Sale Approval for our Listing

We just received an approval from Bank of America for one of our HAFA short sales. If you are not familiar with HAFA, it stands for Home Affordable Foreclosure Avoidance Program, a subset of the HAMP or the Home Affordable Modification Program, which less than 10% of those who apply actually receive a modification that works. Therefore the US Treasury created HAFA. You may be eligible to apply if you meet all of the following:

  • You live in the home or have lived there in the last 12 months.
  • You have a documented financial hardship.
  • You have not purchased a new house within the last 12 months.
  • Your first mortgage is less than $729,750.
  • You obtained your mortgage on or before January 1, 2009.
  • You must not have been convicted within the last 10 years of felony larceny, theft, fraud or forgery, money laundering or tax evasion, in connection with a mortgage or real estate transaction.

The best part about the HAFA program is the seller can get up to $3000 at closing and is relieved of all future deficiencies. Your servicer must be a HAMP participant in order the seller to benefit from HAFA.  If there is a 2nd lien holder that is not a HAMP participant, then they can ask for finds from the seller at closing in cash or a promissory note and/or maintain the right to pursue you for a deficiency in the future.
