How to Help Homeowners While Closing Business

 

Panelists:

Eli Tene, President, I Short Sale, Inc.

Frances Flynn Thorsen, Managing Editor, RealTown.com

Heidi Mueller, Broker Associate, Prudential California Realty

Tom Geller, Author, Save My Home: Ten Steps to AvoidING Foreclosure

 

Heidi:  Homes have gone from being an investment to being shelter, if someone gets a workout, how long will it be before the value of their house recovers?

 

Back of envelope math:  If have a $200,000 loan, and my interest rates goes up 2%, you are going to pay about 50% more.

 

Q:  How many people are actually getting workouts?

 

Tom:  Average cost of foreclosure for the bank is $40,000.  When bankers make a decision about doing a workout, they would have to lose about $40,000 to do a workout.

 

Are you really seeing rate modifications of 3%? 

 

Audience:  I agree with Countrywide, I as a taxpayer do not want to pay for someone else's stupid decision.

 

Fran:  We are playing an interesting kind of blame game.  Some talking about what is going to happen to real estate agents who introduced buyers to lenders who's loans have gone bad?
