Gateway Mortgage Short Sale Timeline

When dealing with Gateway Mortgage’s Short Sale timelines vary on some very basic and other not so basic elements. These are just a few of the hoops we jump through when dealing with a short sale.

• For one, Gateway is a company that only provides servicing of mortgage notes. Therefore, Gateway’s mortgage division has to abide by the PSA or Pooling and Servicing Agreement that governs the loans. This contract is directly between servicer and investor. Making all the decision themselves is not an option for Gateway Mortgage. For the decisions they are not allowed to make they have to get approval from the investor. Some investors such as Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) have pulled almost all decision making authority from many servicers. As always the greater the number of hands in the put the more layers of burueacracy you’re going to deal with.
• Additionally, The fact that whether your Gateway loan has a sale date or not greatly effects the short sale timeline. If it comes to stopping the sale so that the Gateway short sale process can be completed, they can be very difficult to deal with. Your chances of getting bumped up in the process improve greatly if you can get a value completed. A company of Gateway Mortgage’s size has homes being sold at auction every day. Sale dates even for the coming week are not working with ugency. Remember this business is a first come first serve but it is also influenced by foreclosure status and proximity to the sale date.
• Finally, not all negotiators are good negotiators. This goes for both sides. Often miscomunication In the banking world can lead to certain failure. People become very specialized in this niche of representing homeowners infront of Gateway Mortgage in these financial application processes to find mortgage assistance. Often you will be put though the multiple levels of management including approval from an investor as mentioned above depending on what their total losses are.
