When can I do an Inspection and what is the process?
Please NOTE the following instructions on doing an inspection for a property after you have the HUD winning BID:
- Inspections can NOT be started until you have an executed contract from the seller. You have 15 days after executed contract to complete your inspection.
- You will need to contact the Field Service Manager (FSM) for the property to start the Inspection Process. There are several FSM’s make sure you contact the one that is assigned to your property. You can get this information at www.HUDHomeStore.com under your account in the bidder function area. Click on your winning bid and the information is on the bid confirmation page.
- Each FSM has a form that must be filled out and submitted with certified funds. These fee’s are different for each FSM so read the form completely. You can obtain these forms on our website. There are links to each FSM for forms and with phone numbers below.
- Once you have submitted your form to the FSM and the Fee you will coordinate with the FSM for your buyer to turn on the utilities in the Buyers Name. The FSM needs time to prepare the property for inspection.
- You as the agent must be present when utilities are turned on. You also must be present during the inspection. The Buyer, Inspector, and/or appraiser is never to be in the property without you, the agent, present. If such instance is noted by a HUD field inspector he will report the instance and you, the agent, can lose your NAID number or HUD can cancel the buyers contract. You as the buyer’s agent are responsible for any damages to the property . Here are some friendly reminders:
- We highly recommend that you turn the water on at the pit and leave it off until the time of inspection in case there would happen to be a leak somewhere in the house.
- Make sure the breakers are on the off position before turning on the power.
- The water heater has to have water in it before you turn on the power. If you do not do this you can damage the water heater and possibly burn the house down.
- Power has to be on before you can turn on the gas.
- Once your buyer has the utilities turn on you can schedule your inspection.
- After the inspection the buyer is to coordinate with the FSM to turn the utilities off. So that the FSM can re-winterize the property. The utilities can NOT be left on in the buyers name. The utilities are to be turned off within 72 hours of the inspection date.
If during your inspection you notice a problem with the property, you will need to contact our office immediately and report it. You can call us at 800-276-8940 ext 2 or email us at HUD@atlantisrealtygrp.com

How do I file a Contract Extension?
It is the expectation for all closings to occur within the allotted time frame shown on the executed sales contract. When unexpected delays occur, extensions of time may be approved; however, they will be at the sole discretion of Sage and/or HUD.
All extension request are submitted to Sage Acquisitions for review and approval.
Not following the guidelines on the form may result in the cancellation of the sales contract and forfeiture of the buyer's earnest money. The granting of one extension shall not obligate the Seller to grant additional extensions and the Seller shall declare a Default for the Purchaser's failure to close the sale upon the expiration of the original closing period or upon expiration of the extension.
Extension fees are non refundable when a contract is cancelled, regardless of reason.
ALL EXTENSION FEES MUST CERTIFIED FUNDS MADE PAYABLE TO HUD!

|---|---|
| $25,000 or less | $150 ($10 per day) |
| $25,001 to $50,000 | $225 ($15 per day) |
| $50,001 or more | $375 ($25 per day) |
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION:
The documentation being submitted with the request for extension must include the reason for delay, verification of underwriter approval, and current status of the loan. All Lender letters must contain the signature of the loan officer or underwriter. Outdated lender letters will be rejected and extension denied.
On cash transactions, proof of available funds must be submitted and dated within the past 15 days.
When there is a title, escrow or closing agent delay, supporting documentation and a summary of action taken to date from the closing entity must be included with the request for extension.

Specific examples of reasons for a free extension would include: Owner occupant experiencing delays with financing may be entitled to once free extension (in the case of 203K loans, Sage may grant two extension in 15 day increments, when warranted). Delays attributed to seller delay (asset manager clearing title issue, HOA resolution, Utility) or other concerns related to a delay of a HUD contractor.
