Short Sale Commander Blog

After months of hard work by the entire team, Short Sale Commander Version 2.0 is LIVE!  There are so many new features and a great new look and feel, you will barely recognize it when you log on.

Here is a quick run down of the new features:

Document checklist – the system now automatically maintains a document checklist as you upload documents.  This will help reduce errors and make it easier to track all documentation required to complete the short sale.

Packages – You now have the ability to easily create professional bank packages from the documents that have been uploaded to the file.   All you have to do is assemble the documents in the desired order and the system will automatically generate a cover page, summary page with document checklist, header, footer and page numbers.

Auto-forms enhancements –  Some banks require that you utilize their specific forms when creating the short sale package.  We’ve now included many of these lender specific forms so that they can be automatically populated with the data you’ve already entered for the property, thus eliminating redundant data entry and reducing the chance for errors.  You can save these pre-filled documents and upload them to the property file for inclusion in the final short sale package.

Email – You can send an email related to the property to one or more recipients.  Any document or package stored with the property file can also be emailed to any of the parties involved in the short sale, streamlining the process and eliminating the need to print as much (saving a few trees!).   All emails are tracked in the file’s activity log, for easy reference.

Follow-up date for events – Now you can quickly home in on which properties need follow up on any given day.   As you add activities to the activity log, you can specify a follow up date and associated note.  Follow-up dates also appear in the pipeline reports.   This enables you to sort based on follow up date, and identify all files that require attention.

Property Mapping – From within Short Sale commander, you can map a property, saving you the extra steps required to do that separately on another website.

Photos – Photos of the property can now be stored and viewed within Short Sale Commander.  Once uploaded, you can designate them as either “good” photos or “bad” photos.   You can also identify a main picture to be displayed in the file header at all times.  All of this is in anticipation of an upcoming enhancement, in which the system will provide links to websites displaying either the good or bad photos so that, for example, you can show the property to prospective buyers or show the lender the condition of the property.

Video tutorials and help text – We are adding help and videos showing how to use the various functions in the product.  These will appear in the product in stages over the next few weeks.  These tutorials and help will enable you to use the product to its fullest extent.

New look and feel – the user interface has been modernized to make it look more snazzy!
