Is there progress among servicers in the short sale world? REO Insider recently reported on how Deutsche Bank ranked top mortgage servicers based on short sale timelines. Here’s how the rankings shook out based on mortgage type and average time to complete short sales. We know there’s progress in the industry (agent education, new processes, HAFA, etc.), and we’d love to know what you think about this:
Prime:
1. GMAC – 6 months
2. Citigroup’s servicing arm CitiMortgage – about 7.5 months
3. Wells Fargo – roughly 8 months
(Countrywide – now owned by Bank of America – had the slowest short sale timeline at an average of more than 13 months)
