It is very important to understand that the only time a lender will stop foreclosure proceedings is after a successful short sale negotiation. In other words, the lender will continue their efforts to repossess the home despite the fact that a homeowner has listed the home for sale or entered into a contract to negotiate a short sale.
Again, it is only after the transaction has closed that the lender will abandon the foreclosure action. So please read our series in order to better understand what a short sale is and how we will proceed on with the short sale.

Eileen, so clearly written. Manhattan? Short Sales? Eileen is the expert. Hope this drives much business your way. Excellent piece. You always do such good work on the area you are focused on.
Eileen- We have done short sales with sellers who are very wealthy to very poor. The hardship test is relative and while it helps in the negotiating of getting the deficiency wiped out you can still negotiate a short sale for sellers as long as they are willing to contribute.We are doing one right now with the seller having 1 million in assets.
Also, they don't have to be behind or on the verge of default in our experience. Some will, some won't' Depends on the bank.
This is a relative statement. IT all depends.
Nestor and Katerina are right of course, but I think Eileen would be remiss if she didn't reference hardship as an overall guideline. Here in New York it is a CYA scenario to a vast degree.
