Short Sale Process Question

Lou P.

Posted

I put a bid in on a house in mid-December and the bank finally asked for a BPO in Mid-February and I think a loss mitigation analyst has been assigned to this file in late Feb.

Today I was given a contract addendum from the servicing company, I assume representing the bank.

The addendum is the typicaly one sided bank addendum and my agent is suggesting we do a final inspection of the property before we sign the as-is addendum.

My question is when this addendum is given to me, the buyer, does this mean the deal is a done deal with a quick close or can this drag out even longer?

How long after the addendum is provided does the bank typically wait to approve the short sale?

Thanks,
Lou
