Welcome to 2011, it is going to be a great year and I'm excited to see where it takes us!

Changing Short Sale Rules - The HAFA program has been a mixed bag, but last week the Treasury Department changed the rules to make short sales easier. 

Here are the primary changes to HAFA: 

- Those seeking a short sale must get an answer within 30 days
- Lender Servicers are no longer required to verify a borrower's financial information
- Lender Servicers are no longer required to determine if the debt-to-income exceeds 31%
- Though Second lien holders no longer must accept 6% of the unpaid balance - 

Overall, these changes should help expedite short sales, which is good news for Home owners, realtors, investors and ultimately the banks.
