How to Apply for HAFA
Homeowners interested in utilizing foreclosure alternatives under HAFA are instructed to contact their lender if they meet the government short sale eligibility requirements and inform them of their desire to participate.
After April 5, 2010 — when HAFA activates — participating lenders should preemptively contact their eligible borrowers within 30 days, either after they meet eligibility requirements or after April 5, 2010. Eligible homeowners will be sent, either preemptively or by request, a Short Sale Agreement that will outline the terms and conditions of a short sale specific to the homeowner.
Homeowners and real estate professionals are encouraged to examine the following documents (updated March 26, 2010) important to the short sale process:
- Short Sale Agreement (Exhibit A)2
- Request for Approval of Short Sale (Exhibit A1)3
- Alternative Request for Approval of Short Sale (Exhibit B)4
Homeowners and real estate professionals interested in seeking solutions through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure should examine the following HAFA form (updated March 26, 2010):
- Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement (Exhibit C)5
These are documents for lenders to send to borrowers. The above documents will give you an idea of the application process and requirements of the program.
