ShortSave works because we understand people.
When borrowers are in trouble, they’re embarrassed. Or angry. Or frustrated. And most believe they’re getting the runaround, and feel disconnected from the people, lenders and servicers who are trying to help. So that’s when many simply disengage. Forever.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of borrowers do just that. Disengage. They stop responding to calls and letters. They move, they try to forget, and they attempt to move on. But their mortgage lingers, preventing them from truly moving forward, and tarnishing their credit, job prospects and ability to support their families.
Our patent-pending technology allows today’s borrowers to deal with their lenders and servicers online — where they’re most comfortable. ShortSave leverages the smartphone (a device that two out of three Americans own, and check 88 times a day) to connect people to their servicers.
When servicers employ the ShortSave platform, previously unresponsive borrowers start communicating, because they see the real possibility of getting a loan modification, short sale approval, or even a deed-in-lieu transaction, so they can avoid foreclosure.
Borrowers don’t have to talk to a loan officer, servicer, or debt collector or collect mountains of paperwork. Everything is done online by invitation only, on our secure platform.
There’s no embarrassment or shame. Instead, there are results and progress. Everyone wins.
Steps to Success
ARZULA GARDNER’S STORY
“I didn’t feel comfortable talking to my lender because I was so behind on my payments. Using my lender’s online platform (ShortSave) helped me avoid embarrassment and set up a short sale for my home.”
Arzula Gardner knows her mortgage is in trouble. But she’s embarrassed, confused, and afraid to talk to her servicer. So for more than a year she avoids their calls and letters…and spirals deeper into debt.
Arzula’s ledner starts using ShortSave. She likes the idea of finding a solution online – quickly, confidentially, and without having to talk to a person. She logs in.
A few clicks and less than 5 minutes later, Arzula learns she isn’t eligible for a loan modification but that a short sale of her home is a viable option. She decides to take that approach.
The next day, a real estate agent contacts Arzula and lists her house. Meanwhile, ShortSave helps identify institutional buyers who might be interested. Within 2 weeks, Arzula receives several offers and accepts one.
ShortSave coordinates and finalizes all paperwork for the sale, including contract and title, in just four days. They send it all back to the real estate agent, who receives near-instant approval on the deal from the loan servicer.
One week later, the short sale closes. From start to finish, the whole process takes less than 30 days. Best of all? Arzula is finally free from her mortgage and ready to move on with her life.
