To: All REALTORS®
From: Vicki Cox Golder, 2010 NAR President

Re: NAR Update: Help for Haiti
Dear Fellow REALTOR®,
By now, we all know about the severe devastation caused by the earthquakes in Haiti. NAR is helping answer the calls for help in two key ways.
First, we are contributing $550,000 to charities that will help bring much-needed supplies and care to the people of Haiti. Included in that sum is $100,000 donated by our REALTOR Benefits® Program partner, Lowe's®, which we have matched at $100,000. From that we will donate $50,000 to The Harvest of Haiti, founded by REALTOR® Patrick Moore, a 2007 Good Neighbor Award winner. Patrick has done great work for several years in Haiti supporting orphans, delivering clean water and providing medical care for more than 3,500 people a year.
http://www.realtor.org/press_room/news_releases/2010/01/donate_haiti
We are also contributing $500,000 to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, which is supporting earthquake recovery efforts with immediate relief and long-term support to earthquake survivors. For up-to-the-minute information about these efforts, visit NAR's Haiti relief page on REALTOR.org.
Second, I have asked NAR to accept donations from REALTORS® through the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. Please consider giving today. To make a donation, go to www. realtor.org/relief, and complete the contribution form.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."
REALTORS® have earned a reputation for our compassionate work on behalf of others - both here in the United State and around the world. I hope you will join our latest efforts and bring that same compassion and hope to people who desperately need it.
Sincerely,
Vicki Cox Golder, CRB
2010 NAR President

Dear Craigslist Friends:
SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE - $1000 IS YOURS - PLEASE READ:
On Saturday night someone pulled up to our house and in the morning our beloved French bulldog was missing from our dog run. Was he stolen? Probably. But he may be lost also and if someone has him and wants to return him they will get $1000 because he is sick and needs to continue treatment.
He is very light cream, almost white, ALL OVER, full grown, and undergoing heartworm treatment.
THE AREA HE WENT MISSING FROM IS DE FUNIAK SPRINGS, WALTON COUNTY, BUT HE MAY BE IN MILTON OR SANTA ROSA COUNTY ALSO
THERE IS A $1000 REWARD LEADING TO THE RETURN OF THIS DOG WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. IF YOU SEE ANYONE WHO HAS A NEW FRENCH BULLDOG, OR HEAR OF IT, PLEASE LET US KNOW. WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE MONEY, WE WANT THE DOG BACK, THERE ARE POLICE REPORTS, THREE COUNTIES INVOLVED, AND EVEN TWO DETECTIVES NOW INVOLVED...IF HE IS RETURNED WITH EVEN THE EXCUSE "WE FOUND HIM RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD" YOU GET YOUR MONEY AND THAT IS IT.

Our dog recently tested positive for heartworm after being with a relative while a family member was sick and now we are working with a veterinarian's office for treatment. We cannot tell you how much we are devastated because not continuing treatment means that HE DIES.

I came across the article below and started wondering how many other agents have been fortunate enough to try the REOTrans platform with a short sale? Have you had a Bank of America short sale file assigned to the REOTrans web site? Has it been helpful and made the short sale process go smoother?
I have been privileged enough to have one of my Bank of America short sale file's assigned to the REOTrans Platform and at first glimpse was ecstatic and hopeful that it may actually help speed up the process of the short sale and help eliminate the "missing documents" syndrome. However, my experience hasn't been one to celebrate but rather another file that seems to be locked down. The Bank of America short sale department couldn't answer my questions about the system for weeks and I've been waiting for my next "assignment" for two months...
10/22/2009 By: Carrie Bay, reporter for DS News
California-based Equator (formerly known as REOTrans) says it has launched the industry's first-ever short sale module for a large national lender.
Although Equator declined to name the lender, the San Francisco Chroniclehas reported that Bank of America is the company in question. A representative from BofA recently told the paper that they were using the Equator platform to manage the short sale process. "This is the first time that short sales have been handled through an electronic platform," said Equator CEO Chris Saitta. "With our new system, everyone works together in real time, dramatically improving communication and approval timelines for our client, its borrowers, vendors, and real estate agents."
Short sales, in which a lender and borrower reach an agreement to dispose of a property threatened by foreclosure at a price that is "short" of the amount owed on the mortgage, have become more popular among lenders lately as a viable method for dealing with distressed properties. According to Equator, the number of successful short sales has increased spectacularly across the country in the wake of the foreclosure crisis.
Kevin Kieffer, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty in Danville, California, told the Chronicle, "A year ago I wouldn't touch a short sale. It would be random prices banks wouldn't agree to, you would be tied up six months hoping to get a property sold. But now we're seeing banks up front negotiating prices and giving us criteria. They're getting creative to make things move."
Equator says the keys to a successful short sale are accessibility, responsiveness, communication, and fulfillment. By adopting its short sale platform, the company says large lenders, such as the unnamed Bank of America, can ensure troubled borrowers have 24/7 access to a portal through which they can provide the necessary information to process a short sale and receive real-time status updates electronically.
"Short sales can be a daunting, complicated, frustrating task for everyone involved," Saitta said. "This fresh approach using our sophisticated platform makes it fast and efficient for all parties involved."
Equator's short sale module also automates decisioning for the lender, handles approvals for faster turnaround, provides quick fulfillment, and assures full compliance with government programs, Saitta said.

2 comments • Brandon Jordan • January 17 2010 11:50PMREOTRANS now EQUATOR the new online process for Bank of America Short Sales
I recently ran across an article about the short sale process and the Bank of America online system now going thru a software company by the name REOTRANS/EQUATOR.
I tried to send in a request to start a short sale thru Equator before getting an offer, they will let you open it but I just received this email today. I had open this on Dec 9th.
You recently requested a Short Sale with Bank of America for the property located at 716 DENISE DR, CRESTVIEW, FL 32536.
This property was successfully entered into the Bank of America Short Sale application and the next task is assigned to you.
The task is: Submit Short Sale Offer.
Please log-in to www.equator.com to complete this task. If you have forgotten your password, please use the "forgot password" link located on the Equator Home Page (in the upper-right corner, under the Username/Password section). Bank of America will be closing this file if an offer is not received within 14 days of the 'Submit Offer' task date.
I have another one with Bank of America with an offer that I have submitted. They are now looking to have the homeowners send via scan and uploading their financials online thru their Bank of America website shortsale.bankofamerica.com make sure to tell the homeowner that the Bank of America email may not have the correct website address as a client of mine had forwarded me the email where Bank of America sent them an email saying the wrong web address bankofamerica.shortsale.com which gives an error page.
Bank of America will send the homeowner an email once they call the Equator department and tell them they want to do a short sale.
I dont yet understand why the home owner needs to call equator after already calling into the short sale department of Bank of American and after sending in the request to do a short sale with the (LOA) Letter of Authorization.
