The Federal Housing Finance Agency, who oversees components of our country’s secondary mortgage markets – Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks has now implemented timeline requirements to facilitate more effective and efficient short sales transactions. Starting June 15, 2012 real estate professionals and distressed homeowners (loans backed by Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae) can expect to be approved or rejected on their short sale offer within 30-60 days.
