PennyMac does not usually own your loan, they just service it for an investor - usually FHA, VA, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. That means that while they will have to process your short sale to investor guidelines, the department doing the work can generally be expected to work in uniform fashion.

I was about to give up and just turn my back on my home and walk away. However, I found Minna and she was a lifesaver! Other realtors tried to help me but made the situation worse and wasted my time. If you are in the unfortunate place of having to short sale your home, then you know it can be embarrassing and difficult, especially if you don't have real estate experience. Minna knew exactly what to do, and was very professional, knowledgeable, and, kind. Minna was on my side and handled all the challenges we faced with selling a house that at times seemed like it didn't want to be sold! I appreciate Minna and know that you will love her.
