Bank of America continues to work on refining their systems for short sales.  In their recent short sale update to agents, BofA explained what to do if you get a valuation (BPO or Appraisal) that you question and want to have reconsidered by the bank/investor. 

Process Refined for Valuation Disputes

Bank of America has refined the process for settling valuation disputes during a short sale.

The value of a property is established by independent third-party vendors shortly after a short sale is initiated. Occasionally, however, a listing agent may wish to contest that value. When that occurs, there is now a revised process for reconsidering the value.

Process Steps

1.     Tell your short sale specialist that you would like a reconsideration of the value.

2.     Receive an investor-specific, easy-to-complete form from your short sale specialist that specifies all requirements for a successful value dispute.

3.     Fill out the form and attach specified evidence.

4.     Stay in touch with your short sale specialist for results.

5.     Expect a value dispute review within 10-12 business days once all required information has been received.
