Thanks for attending our session Fidelity Residential Solutions (FRS) – provides title, equity, closing and inspections to the relocation industry as well as national closing management services for REO (Real Estate Owned) properties The national title company is in a unique position – they see the good the bad and the ugly by working with “all” vendors in the industry - Realtors, lenders, buyers, sellers, attorneys, investors, REO servicers, etc. Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions

Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions USA Home Appreciation
Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions Negative Equity Draining Your Talent Pool?
Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions MBA Statistics - Interest rates are at 60 year historic lows (4%)
Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions MBA Statistics - Purchase Index (Number of new weekly loan applications) During peak years (2003-2006) “Index” ran in 400-500 range
Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions What does all of this mean to the “Relocation Industry”? • Expensive - Loss on Sale • Drains ability to move the “RIGHT” talent or candidate • REO moratorium & shadow inventory (min 3.86 Million homes need to sell or rent) • Potential to depress values for an extended period especially in certain geographical areas of USA (experts say 5-7 years) • Current avg. home appreciation still running flat or near < 2%
Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions What does all of this mean to the “Relocation Industry”? • Evaluate Policy (is Loss on Sale the only option?) • Interest rates currently favor selling • Purchase index is showing signs of improving sales • GSE’s and lenders have a vested interest to help borrowers • They must reduce delinquency and shadow inventory all while trying to avoid foreclosure • Government, GSE’s & private industry continue to offer “New” programs • Laraine will touch on the “Waterfall Options” available to distressed borrowers
Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions There are many turns in the road that will get you to your destination… Which one is the “Right Direction”?
A view from the closing and REO side Short Sales are a viable option with a bad reputation… Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions
Why is Short Sale a “Bad” Word? Limited industry experience Realtors are not lenders, they would rather be selling Absence of a uniform process and application system Inconsistency - multiple lenders, Mortgage Insurers (MI), End Loan Investor requirements, borrower qualifications, federal forms, etc. with different guidelines All of the above……..Time kills deals!!! Tine K. H. Dickey - Senior Vice President, CRP/SGMS Fidelity Residential Solutions
Suggestions that help create short sale success Borrower should be directed to use a facilitator with “core competency” Experienced facilitator (closing100’s of short sales a week or month) Realtors may have a “Back Room” that only focuses on short sales or have partnered with an experienced facilitator firm Consult with your RMC Important keys to success – “Pre-decision” of borrower by facilitator Single point of contact for RMC, Broker and Borrower BPO and complete borrower application is a must Facilitator cannot be paid for negotiation services unless short sale is closed (GBO is considered a viable offer) Tine K.

Laraine L. DavisVice President/Community Development Wells Fargo Social Responsibility Group
Laraine L. Davis - Vice President/Community Development Wells Fargo/ Social Responsibility Group • We originate 1 of every 4 and service 1 of every 6 home loans in the U.S. • More than 92% of our mortgage customers remain current on their loan payments. • Our combined foreclosure and delinquency rates are significantly lower than industry averages .
Laraine L. Davis - Vice President/Community Development Wells Fargo/ Social Responsibility Group Refinance (current balance at new rate and/or term) • Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans (HARP 2.0) or for certain Wells Fargo-owned and serviced loans • No loan-to-value ratio limit in many cases • Loan must be current with good payment history • Principal balance remains, but borrower can take advantage of lower interest rates • Does not need to remain owner’s primary residence
Laraine L. Davis - Vice President/Community Development Wells Fargo/ Social Responsibility Group Modification (for servicer-owned loans) • Principal forgiveness possible to achieve affordability. • Borrower must be facing financial hardship resulting in payment challenges. • Relocation alone may not constitute a qualifying hardship. • HAMP Tier 2 will allow modifications on second homes and investment properties (likely available this summer). • Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA do not currently allow principal reduction on their loans.
Laraine L. Davis - Vice President/Community Development Wells Fargo/ Social Responsibility Group Short Sale • Lender/investor agree to accept sale proceeds less than principal balance due. • Junior lien holders, mortgage insurer, etc. also may need to agree. • Borrower generally must be facing financial hardship resulting in payment challenges. • Relocation alone may not constitute a qualifying hardship.
Laraine L. Davis - Vice President/Community Development Wells Fargo/ Social Responsibility Group Other Considerations • Principal forgiveness and short sale may have tax consequences. • All options may result in reporting to credit bureaus or impact ability to obtain credit. • Modification and refinance do not relieve obligation to repay existing loan. • Borrowers should obtain tax, financial and legal advice.
Laraine L. Davis - Vice President/Community Development Wells Fargo/ Social Responsibility Group Industry Data (since 2009) • 1.1 million HARP refis to date industry wide; 100,000+ to borrowers with LTVs > 105%. • 4.2 million loan modifications completed. • 63,000 HAMP PRA modifications reducing principal $68,000, or 31%, on average • Approximately 1 in 4 borrowers have negative or near negative equity nationwide (3Q11). • Wide range depending on state; High is NV at 63%, low is NY at 9% • Missouri about average at 21%
