The Lund Team,Inc secured one of the top 5 sales in Aviara for 2011.  1320 Corvidae Street in the Mar Fiore development, was sold off open-house.  Garrett Lund, who welcomed the buyer and his agent through, was told that they were looking exclusively for luxury single level homes...but decided to come in our of curiosity.

What is the deal with HAFA? 

It’s a great way to help avoid foreclosure if you need to sell and owe more than your property is worth i.e. Short Sale.   

Benefits:

  •       Avoid Foreclosure
  •       Satisfy outstanding loan balance
  •       Receive cash to move - $3,000
  •       Up to $6,000 to settle junior liens… 2nd, 3rd loans
  •       Dee-In-Lieu… another option if unable to sell
  •       Commissions and Processing Fees paid up to 6% of contract price
  •       Credit reporting… “Settled for less than the full payment”. Typically much better than a foreclosure reporting 
  •       IRS reporting… IRS requires use of Form 1099C, as debt forgiveness. 

Information from https://www.efanniemae.com/sf/formsdocs/forms/184.jsp . This is a government…
