UPDATE ON SHORT SALES FROM NAR
As reported earlier this week, NAR Government Affairs informed you that on October 1st HUD would be implementing a new policy that would have presented dual agency agreements in FHA pre-foreclosure transactions. NAR has been working with HUD closely to modify the policy. This afternoon HUD reported to NAR that they will re-issue the July Mortgagee Letter and remove all dual agency language (Part Three of the PFS Participation Requirements). The result is that dual agency policy will not be implemented on October 1, 2013 allowing NAR to continue the dialog with agency officials on a formal solution. HUD announced the policy change in reponse to fraud and abuse detected by the HUD Inspector General in the pre-foreclosure sales process. The letters sent to HUD by our State and Local Association Presidents highlighted NAR's concerns about the policy and the disruptive effect its implementation would have on communities across the nation. Thank you for your quick response and assistance. We will continue to keep you apprised of any additonal developments. For any further questions concerning the challenge please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
"Effective October 1, 2013, HUD would have been implementing a new policy that would have prevented dual agency agreements on FHA foreclosed properties. Not many REALTORS® and Brokers were even aware of this new policy, however, NAR has been working very diligently to get this replealed and has succeeded. You all should be very proud of your Political Action Groups with NAR, they are always working for your best interest. Well done."
