LOAN # XXXX BORROWER : XXXX XXXX PROPERTY ADDRESS : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WA # XXXX XXXX ID FOR COMPLAINT SENT TO SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING , INC . 
XXXX ** We are trying to negotiate a short sale on the above referenced property I was advised the investor is countering the offer that is currently price at $ XXXXto increase to {$160000.00}. I am disputing this and feel the dispute is warranted because the BPO that SPS currently has on file values the property at {$140000.00}. Which is in line with our current offer is and should be approved since the offer on the short sale is fair market value. The investors expecting to receive above fair market value according to their counter is unethical and no up to distressed homeowner protection laws. The offer of {$140000.00} that you have currently on file represents fair market value and is the buyer 's highest and best. I asked that the short sale be approved with no change of increasing the price. 

Regarding the response to COMPLAINT IDXXXX The response only reiterates the problem and doesn't offer a solution. The investor is countering the buyer to increase to {$160000.00} so that they do not have to take a loss at all. The counter of {$160000.00} is the amount of the loan which originated in XXXX the height of the price inflation and mortgage fraud. We have a valid hardship for a short sale, and offer inline with fair market value even according to SPS BPO and the investor should not deny the short sale by refusing to take an amount less than full. This will cause a foreclosure and the foreclosure will not result in a better interest to the investor than this short sale option and our current offer.
