Short Sale Approval Requests

Short Sale Approval Requests

Ensure timely approval of property sales with automation of the short sale request approval workflow.

Why automate?

Whenever borrowers are under financial hardships, they go for short sales where the property is sold for an amount that is less than what they owe on its mortgage. The lender is tasked with the review of short sale approval requests. The decision to approve the short sale is based on the assessment of the borrower’s financial status and financial regulations around short sales. Given the desperation of the borrower, the expectation is that short sale requests are approved quickly. Just because we need quick approvals, we cannot compromise on the review of the short sale request. Legal, financial, and ethical implications of the sale need to be considered before approval The approval of short sale requests is a complex and time consuming process that cannot be carried out effectively via manual review. Automation of the approval workflow provides key decision makers deeper insights into the legitimacy of the request, so that quick and accurate decisions can be made. A no code workflow solution like Cflow ensures that reviews are done in a timely manner without compromising on the quality. Real estate managers are able to handle short sale requests more efficiently and comfortably without any delays or non-compliance issues.
