Wells Fargo Short Sale is a way out to abandon your property and get relief from all the mortgage debts it carries. It is better than foreclosure as it inflicts less damage on your credit report, which is necessary to keep your option open for obtaining a mortgage loan in the future. However, you should consider the option of a short sale only after you fail to qualify for a loan modification or any other home retention program offered by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

The process starts with your calling to a specialist representative of the department and explaining the financial situation and hardship you are facing at present. The short sale department will review your request and check whether or not you qualify for the program. The bank offers a complete short sale package that can be completed and sent online as well as via mail. Upon approval, the WFHM negotiator will talk to you or your agent to determine an acceptable sales price and the timeline within which you are required to list and sell your home.

Wells Fargo Short Sale Package

Wells Fargo Short Sale Package contains different kinds of forms, financial worksheets, guidelines and documentation checklist among many other things. You need to complete all forms and procure all required documents and sent the same in a packet via mail, fax or online. The package should also contain completed authorization form and a hardship letter.

Sometimes you may also require an addendum, such as Arms Length Affidavit, Contract Addendum, Listing Addendum and Contract Extension Addendum. Wells Fargo short sale approval time is typically 37 business days. There is also a fast track program for Wachovia customers. Once you receive the approval letter you are given 30 days, in most cases, to sell off your home. If you fail to do so within this timeline period you will have to restart the complete process once again.
