Legislation Introduced For 45-day Short Sale Decision

Last month, Representatives Tom Rooney (R-FL) and Robert Andrews (D-NJ) introduced H.R. 1498, the "Prompt Decision for Qualification of Short Sale Act of 2011". This legislation makes it mandatory for mortgage servicers to reply to a short sale application within 45 days of submission. If the servicer fails to provide a decision to the short sale applicant within that time period, the application is deemed approved. NAR has heard from many of our members nationwide that the length of time for a decision on a short sale application remains a significant impediment for this foreclosure mitigation option. It is the NAR's hope that this legislation will not just shine a light on the short sales issue, but establish a mechanism for the development of an appropriate solution.
