Top 4 Major US Lenders are now offering anywhere between $10-$35,000 as relocation incentive if the home owners agree to a Short Sale!! In the past we have been critical of banks with their insane moves, but given the fact that some San Jose home owners have been living without making any payments for the past 3 years; this is a smart move for all parties in the food chain. So, the answer to your question on how much you can expect to get is anywhere between $10,000 to $35,000 which in nothings to sneeze at.
The banks get ride of their non-performing assets without foreclosures and REOs while home owners can move on to rebuild their credit and life. And the market gets closer to a new normal where the banks no longer control the inventory and price of the Real Estate markets around the country!

In contrast, Top 4 major lenders including Chase, Citibank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are now offering large sums in the range of $10-30,000 relocation inventive.
