Table of Contents

The Chase Short Sale Packet form is a comprehensive tool designed to facilitate the short sale process for homeowners facing financial difficulties. This packet is essential for those who wish to request a short sale, as it provides a structured approach to submitting the necessary information and documentation. Within the packet, you will find a Required Documentation Checklist, which outlines the specific documents needed from both the borrower and their real estate agent. This ensures that all relevant information is collected to support the short sale request. Additionally, the Authorization to Provide and Release Information form allows homeowners to grant permission for Chase to share their mortgage details with authorized agents. The Request for Consideration of Short Sale form gathers critical information about the property, loans, and the financial hardships that have led to the request. Furthermore, the packet includes the 4506T-EZ Request for Transcript of Tax Return Form, enabling Chase to verify income details directly with the IRS. Completing this packet accurately and submitting it alongside the required documentation is crucial for a successful evaluation of the short sale request.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND AGREEMENT

In making this request for consideration under the Making Home Affordable Program I certify under penalty of perjury:

1.That all of the information in this document is truthful and the event(s) identified on page 1 is/are the reason that I need to request a modification of the terms of my mortgage loan, short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

2.I understand that the Servicer, the U.S. Department of Treasury, or their agents may investigate the accuracy of my statements and may require me to provide supporting documentation. I also understand that knowingly submitting false information may violate Federal law.

3.I understand the Servicer will pull a current credit report on all borrowers obligated on the Note.

4.I understand that if I have intentionally defaulted on my existing mortgage, engaged in fraud or misrepresented any facts(s) in connection with this document, the Servicer may cancel any Agreement under Making Home Affordable and may pursue foreclosure on my home.

5.I am willing to provide all requested documents and to respond to all Servicer questions in a timely manner and to otherwise comply with all requirements of the Making Home Affordable Program that may be in effect from time to time.

6.I understand that the Servicer will use the information in this document to evaluate my eligibility for a loan modification or short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, but the Servicer is not obligated to offer me assistance based solely on the statements in this document.

7.I am willing to commit to credit counseling if it is determined that my financial hardship is related to excessive debt.

8.If I was discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding subsequent to the execution of the Loan Documents, or am currently entitled to the protections of any automatic stay in bankruptcy, I acknowledge that Servicer is providing the information about the Making Home Affordable program at my request and for informational purposes, and not as an attempt to impose personal liability for the debt evidenced by the Note.

9.I acknowledge that while my request is being evaluated, the Servicer may suspend any scheduled foreclosure sale, but may continue to send legal notices related to foreclosure. Any pending foreclosure action will not be dismissed and may be immediately resumed from the point at which it was suspended if I fail to comply with the terms and conditions of the Making Home Affordable program, including any trial period plan, and no new notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or similar notice will be necessary to continue the foreclosure action. All rights to such notices are hereby waived by me to the extent permitted by applicable law. I further acknowledge that when the Servicer accepts and posts a payment during the time I am being evaluated, including during any trial period, it will be without prejudice to, and will not be deemed a waiver of, the acceleration of the loan or any foreclosure action and related activities and shall not constitute a cure of any default under the loan documents evidencing and securing the loan unless such payments are sufficient to completely cure my entire default under the loan documents. If I am in foreclosure, I agree that all trial payments will be made in certified funds.

10.I further acknowledge and agree that if I am offered a trial period plan by the Servicer, making the first payment due under such trial period plan shall be deemed an acceptance of the terms and conditions of the plan.

11.I understand that the Servicer will collect and record personal information, including, but not limited to, my name, address, telephone number, social security number, credit score, income, payment history, government monitoring information, and information about account balances and activity. I understand and consent to the disclosure of my personal information and the terms of Making Home Affordable Agreement by Servicer to (a) the U.S. Department of the Treasury;

(b) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in connection with their responsibilities under the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan; (c) any investor, insurer, guarantor or servicer that owns, insures, guarantees or services my first lien or subordinate lien (if applicable) mortgage loan(s); (d) companies that perform support services in conjunction with Making Home Affordable; and (e) any HUD certified housing counselor.

12.I will execute such other and further documents as may be reasonably necessary to either (i) consummate the terms and

conditions of this Plan or any final modification, short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosurethat I am offered; or (ii) correct the terms and conditions of this Plan or any final modification that I am offered if an error is discovered or the Servicer deems it reasonably necessary to comply with the terms of the Making Home Affordable Program or other program for which I may qualify.

Documents used along the form

When pursuing a short sale with Chase, several additional forms and documents are often required to support your application. These documents help provide a comprehensive view of your financial situation and facilitate the short sale process. Below is a list of commonly used forms and documents along with brief descriptions of each.

  • Required Documentation Checklist – A detailed list specifying all documents needed from both the borrower and the real estate agent to complete the short sale application.
  • Authorization to Provide and Release Information – This form allows Chase to share your mortgage information with designated third parties, such as your real estate agent.
  • Request for Consideration of Short Sale – This document collects essential information about your property, loans, and financial hardships that have led to the short sale request.
  • 4506T-EZ Request for Transcript of Tax Return Form – This form enables Chase to obtain a transcript of your tax return to verify your income details.
  • Listing Agreement – A contract between you and your real estate agent outlining the terms of the property listing for sale.
  • Detailed Listing History (MLS Printout) – A report from the Multiple Listing Service that provides information on your property’s listing history, including previous sale prices and time on the market.
  • Sales/Purchase Contract – The signed offer that outlines the terms of sale between you and the buyer.
  • Comparable Active Listings – A document providing three active listings and three comparable sales to establish a fair market value for your property.
  • HUD-1 Settlement Statement – An estimated closing statement detailing the costs associated with the sale of your property.

Similar forms

The Chase Short Sale Packet form bears similarities to the Loan Modification Application, a document that also requires borrowers to provide detailed financial information. Both forms necessitate a comprehensive overview of the borrower’s financial situation, including income, expenses, and assets. Just like the Short Sale Packet, the Loan Modification Application includes a checklist of required documents, such as pay stubs and tax returns, to support the borrower’s claims. This ensures that lenders can accurately assess the borrower’s eligibility for modifications or short sales based on their current financial hardship.

Another document that aligns closely with the Chase Short Sale Packet is the Hardship Letter. This letter is often required in both processes and serves to explain the borrower’s circumstances that led to their financial difficulties. In the Short Sale Packet, the Request for Consideration of Short Sale includes a section for detailing hardships, while the Hardship Letter allows borrowers to articulate their personal stories in a more narrative form. Both documents aim to provide context to the lender about the borrower’s situation, helping them understand the need for a short sale or modification.

The Short Sale Packet is also comparable to the Financial Statement, which is a detailed account of a borrower’s financial position. Similar to the information requested in the Short Sale Packet, a Financial Statement requires details about income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Both documents serve to paint a complete picture of the borrower’s financial health, which is crucial for the lender's decision-making process regarding the approval of a short sale or loan modification.

Lastly, the Authorization to Release Information form shares characteristics with the Power of Attorney document. Both allow third parties, such as real estate agents or attorneys, to act on behalf of the borrower in financial matters. The Authorization to Release Information specifically permits Chase to discuss the borrower’s mortgage details with designated individuals, while a Power of Attorney grants broader legal authority. This shared purpose of facilitating communication and representation underscores the importance of having authorized individuals involved in the short sale process.

Misconceptions

Here are ten common misconceptions about the Chase Short Sale Packet form, along with clarifications for each:

  1. All documentation is optional. Many believe that they can skip documents they find unnecessary. However, all required documentation must be submitted for a complete evaluation.
  2. Only the borrower needs to sign the forms. Some think only the primary borrower’s signature is needed. Both the borrower and co-borrower must sign all required forms.
  3. Submitting the packet guarantees approval. There is a misconception that sending in the packet will automatically lead to a short sale approval. Approval is contingent on a thorough review of the submitted information.
  4. All real estate agents can handle short sales. Not all agents are equipped to manage short sales effectively. It’s crucial to work with an agent experienced in this specific process.
  5. Chase will not communicate with my agent. Some borrowers think Chase cannot discuss their case with their real estate agent. However, authorization can be granted to allow communication.
  6. Income verification is not necessary. Many assume they can skip income verification. In reality, providing accurate income documentation is essential for the evaluation process.
  7. Only recent documents are needed. Some believe that older documents can be ignored. Chase requires the most recent documents to accurately assess the current financial situation.
  8. All debts must be paid off before applying for a short sale. There is a belief that all debts must be settled. However, the short sale process is designed for those facing financial hardship.
  9. Filing for bankruptcy prevents a short sale. Some think that being in bankruptcy automatically disqualifies them from a short sale. This is not true, but it may complicate the process.
  10. The short sale process is quick and simple. Many expect the process to be fast. In reality, short sales can take time and require careful attention to detail.

Understanding these misconceptions can help borrowers navigate the short sale process more effectively. Proper preparation and accurate information are key to a successful outcome.
