The documentation required to process a short sale is commonly referred to as a
“Short Sale Package" and is usually submitted by the agent representing the seller or the
seller of the property themselves if they are attempting to do the short sale on their own.
Created in 2009, HAFA is a government-sponsored initiative assisting all Home Affordable
Modification Program (HAMP) eligible homeowners in avoiding foreclosure through
short sales and deed-in-lieus.
Here’s a sample short sale package:
* Note that items may vary depending upon the lender.

Authorization to Release Information.
Sellers Hardship Letter.
2 years W-2's.
2 months pay stubs.
2 months bank statements.
Supporting Hardship Info - HOA liens, medical/disability statements etc.
Repair Estimate for the property (when necessary).
Comparable area sales.
Listing & Purchase Contract(s).
Net Sheet (provided by agent).
First mortgage holder may ask for a payoff amount from the 2nd (obtain pay-off statement
from lender).
Second mortgage holder may ask for a payoff amount from the 1st (obtain pay-off statement
from lender).

If you plan to work with a real estate professional and can have your last two years tax returns as well
as past two months bank statements and pay stubs together with your hard ship letter and
authorization to release information statement for them at your initial meeting you’ll give them a
running head start and they will love you!
