Salt Lake City, UTAH – I recently received a question from another agent. Apparently they were being mislead on a short sale by a large national lender. Here is the question we received: “Do you have a number to contact Fannie Mae? The bank (Large National Bank) will not allow the seller to not do a short sale and agree to repay the loss on a promissory note.
She said that she has to talk to the investor which is Fannie Mae. My sellers just wants to sell and move on with their life. Janet.”

Here was our response. I understand the logic of what your seller is trying to do. They think that they can just sell the home for less thant it’s worth, sign a promissory note for the difference, and move on with their lives.
The sad reality is that life’s not that simple, especially when you are dealing with bankers. Before they make any changes on anything, they want to make sure that everything is ok.
In order to make sure everything is ok, they will have to process the sale as a short sale. That is why they demand before they will transfer the upside down debt to a promissory note.
They always like to keep things at the status quo. Any big changes need to be very carefully evaluated. It’s just the way bankers work.
So, if your seller wants to sell and repay the debt on a promissory note, then they will have to go thru the formal short sale process. It’s the only option that I see.
