I have submitted an offer on a Bank of America short sale in equator, now what do we do.
Each bank has a different way of processing short sale packages. With Bank of America, most of the leg work is handled by a third party company at http://www.equator.com In my last article, I explained how to submit an offer to Bank of America on the equator system. Now that you have an offer and submitted it on the equator site, you will ask the homeowner to call the bank and complete the short sale package. If your seller does not know how to scan documents and upload files you will need to do this for them.
The home owner will need to call this number
1-866-880-1232.
They will then send him a password to his email.
When the homeowner gets the password he needs to sign into this website.
http://bankofamerica.com/shortsale
Username is the email address and then the password that they sent him. He then needs to make up a new password, put it in twice and that will reset the password.
