Seller’s bank wants appraisal ILYCE GLINK TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Q
uestion: We are closing on a house next week. It’s a short sale in a nice neighborhood at a huge discount. All the papers are in order. The deal went smoothly but took eight weeks. The seller’s bank wants a copy of the appraisal from my lender that I paid for. The seller’s lender is not paying any closing costs or putting anything into the deal. Do I have to send them the report I paid for? Answer: You are not legally obligated to send the seller’s lender your appraisal, but then again the seller’s lender is not obligated to let the short sale go forward. If you don’t provide the appraisal, the bank may not agree to let you close on the property. If you do provide it and it shows that the value of the property is way above what you’ve agreed to pay, the lender maybe try to pressure you into paying more money. Many short sale lenders request a copy of the buyer’s appraisal. In some cases, the short sale lender may have obtained its own appraisal but wants additional verification as to the value of the home. If your appraisal is at or near the price you have agreed to pay for the home, the bank can use that information to reassure any investor that will have to take a loss on the mortgage that it should allow the short sale to proceed. However, if the appraisal is way above the purchase price for the home, the short sale lender and the investor may suspect that the buyer is taking unfair advantage, and may request that the buyer bump up the purchase price to close on the home. While you may be paying most or all of the costs to purchase the home, you need to remember that if the short sale lender and its investor are taking a big hit in allowing the short sale to proceed, they want to make sure they are getting the most out of the sale. If your appraisal is at about the purchase price and you provide the appraisal, you can only hope that the short sale lender comes back shortly with an approval on the sale. With a short sale, the seller’s lender holds all the cards. If you want to get the deal done at the price you offered for the home, you’ll have to play by the lender’s rules. For more details, consult with a real estate attorney. For more information, call Glink’s radio show at 800-9728255 on Sundays from 9 to 10 a.m., write to Real Estate Matters Syndicate, P.O.

six hours. Not reapplying sunscreen often enough is one reason many end up sunburned, says Buller, but how you apply it is also a factor. A full ounce should be slathered on each time you apply it, using the two-finger method found on their website, sunsafecolorado.org/. Keep in mind sweating reduces the length of time between applications, sometimes as often as every 40 minutes. A combination of cover up and sunscreen is the best option for gardeners, so toss on a wide brimmed hat, slacks, and shirt with long sleeves before heading out. Inexpensive, lightweight, sun protective clothes made from wicking fabric take the heat out of covering up, and you won’t have to start spending more on your wardrobe for weeding than you do for your tools. But if your budget prevents you from purchasing new clothes, grab a long sleeve shirt from your closet; as long as the fabric is tightly woven it helps. “Hold it up to the light, and if you can’t see light coming through it, that’s best.” Darker colors absorb UV, while white is better at reflecting it.
