Question by Gaetan: On a foreclosed home, who negotiates the price on behalf of the mortgage owner(s)?
Let’s say, a home goes through foreclosure. Its related mortgage was pooled and securitized among thousands of others. Now, the home is for sale. The real estate broker incentive is to set a low price to turnover the property quickly. That’s because for a broker time is money.
So, who negotiates the price and protect the fragmented owners interest (MBS investors). Is it the servicer of the mortgage? But, because of his own operating cost he also would have an incentive to sell quickly at a low price. How about the securitization bond trustee. Does the trustee step in and negotiate with the broker what price is deemed acceptable to the MBS investors?
You can see it is kind of a gnarly question. If you have a clear understanding of this process, please educate me.

No one because in the end you are ultimately responsible, and the interest and charges keep adding up.
