Lenders Have Finally Embraced Short Sales


Cape Coral, FL (Vocus) June 5, 2010

Lenders have finally embraced short sales. The short sale process is becoming standardize with 7 out of the top 10 mortgage lenders now use an electronic system called Equador to close a short sale quickly. Average time to close a short sale has gone from 6 months to 2 months with the Equador system.

Broker Robin Speronis, founder of Zen Real Estate, www.AskZenRealEstate.com, has recently earned the Equator Short Sale Agent Certification and reports that with the lenders’ blessings, there has been a great shift in the market away from foreclosures to short sales. Lenders are allowing more borrows to sell their home for less then they owe as an alternative to foreclosure. The Equator web-based, electronic system is now used by 7 out of the top 10 lenders and has dramatically increased efficiency of the short sale process and cut the average short sale time from 6 months to 2 months.
