A refinance during the boom years followed by the crumbling real estate market in recent years left my East Haddam homeowner in serious negative equity and a prisoner in his upside down home. When times got tough and the payment became unaffordable, there was only one reasonable choice left to cut his losses and move on - a short sale.
It took almost two months and several reductions to find a buyer for the home in the slow East Haddam real estate market. Another 3 months passed as ServiceLink (the entity that does all the short sale processing for Indymac - a division of OWB) helplessly pushed our papers around and gave us the runaround.

Why is it when a lender starts ousourcing their short sale processing to a 3rd party, their short sales only become slower and more cumbersome? Isn't the goal the exact opposite?
I had not worked with Indymac for several months but had heard great things about their supposed recent 2 -3 week approvals and was excited to have a chance to work with them again to witness this for myself. Unfortunately, I certainly did not get a 2-3 week experience as Indymac had recently moved their processing to ServiceLink Loss Mitigation Services - another useless 3rd party short sale processing provider.
We secured a buyer for this Vernon, CT home the first week of December and a complete file headed to both Indymac and SPS (Select Portfolio Servicing). A BPO…
