Bank of America Short Sales Made Easier?

Today, Bank of America announced a change in its short sale program that may make Bank of America short sales just a little easier.

Until today, if Bank of America short sales were entered in Equator and then a buyer walked, the whole short sale process would have to start all over again.  Even if the new buyer made exactly the same offer, the process had to start all over again.

Today, finally Bank of America, decided this was unnecessary.  Now the original transaction will continue with just the buyer substitution.

This may not work in all cases depending on the actual investor on the loan.  Still it’s a definite step in the right direction and should help to alleviate the pressure and the wait when a buyer walks as they sometimes do during the Bank of America short sales process.
