Complete Short Sale management designed for success
Stewart has a comprehensive approach to Short Sale management that determines a confidential minimum reserve number derived from extensive market valuation analytics and negotiations with the related investors, mortgage insurance firms and subordinate lien holders. This confidential minimum reserve determination enables Stewart to quickly review and accept validated offers from qualified buyers on behalf of all the involved parties. Analytics are updated and reviewed each month, and the reserve is adjusted accordingly.
Additionally, Stewart will perform extensive title reviews upfront to ensure the property can close on time without any title issues.
In the event that no qualified offers are received within an acceptable time frame for the subject property, Stewart will engage the borrower in deed-in-lieu of foreclosure discussions and assist in transitioning the property back to the lender/servicer. Should the Short Sale be unsuccessful, Stewart has the ability to provide a full range of foreclosure services.
