Bill said to Robert:
Your post on short sales seems to criticize every other agent and appears
to call everyone stupid who deals with lenders different than you do. It's
really difficult to read your post and try to get information when the post
is full of venum.
Bill,
Get used to it and just ignore Robert. He's the newest one to just go on
and on. I've been here since 2000 and I've seen a lot of those "experts"
in everything and "criticizers" of everyone! I missed his post because I
ignore him so much.....so I went back and read it.
My message to Robert about his posts:
How many short sales have you done? Last week I was in a seminar give by a
man who has done over 10,000 short sales all over the country and says he
knows most of the lender's requirements. I don't need my notes after
printing Debra's post. You commented that the lender has all the
information the lender needs. No they don't. They have pay stubs from
when the borrower applied for the loan and proved they could afford the
loan. They also have an appraisal for the property when the loan was made
proving the value then! What the lender needs to know is why the borrower
can't afford the payments and that it is being sold for the current value
(that they couldn't sell the home for more than the current value after
they go through the expense of foreclosing on the house).
I could go on more, but I don't have the time.

I teach classes in my office to my agents on how to put a good Short Sale package together and to close the transaction .Basic Contents of a Short Sale Package

Debra, what OUTSTANDING  information you provided to all of us.  Like it or not, short sales are here to stay.  I know many agents who refuse to learn about short sales because they can be "messy" & "complex".  If we would all pull together and help each other out, we could better serve our clients and GET SOME OF THESE RE-SALE HOMES SOLD!   Keep up the good work!!!

Linda if I am so vial and venomous and negative then why do you read my posts?  And why are you so afraid that others may find my posts thought provoking.  Then I guess you are the police for everybody else in here.  Right Linda, don't be jealous over my logic, I'm sure you would have a problem with finding the humility to admit it.  You may want to remove the log in your own eye prior to telling me and others about the speck in mine.  Talk about negative, why don't you try Equity.  10,000 short sales, that sounds like a stellar track record for coming up short 10,000 times.  Wow, what a track record, he or she must really be an expert.  Yea Right?  I've never had any of my upside down deals fall short.  NOT ONE!  If the lenders would pay attention to the market and let me do my work they get positive results.  that's why I get paid what I charge.  The lender doesn't set my fee, I do.  I have a little more respect for my craft that what lender think I'm worth in their own minds.  The only reason we are in this mess of foreclosures is because of irresponsible lending practices.  PERIOD!  If I'm going to mop of the mess then I expect to get paid.  If they want more red tap then I charge more.  That is the way it is!  Not my problem.  They have all the information necessary, cryin' out load they placed the loans!  The reason their client is upside down is owner isn't paying the mortgage they don't want nor can they afford the nonsense the lender offered them for their signature.  I'm just trying to get the highest and best price regardless of who owns the property. Don't you get, regardless of who owns the property be the occupant or the lender, it's only what a foreclosure buyer will pay.  Like it or not!  All this crap about information is a bunch of crap.  What you need to do is talk to the decision maker.  If not send a letter to the CEO!  I know they will listen and heads will role!  This business is about cooperation just do it.  If I have to I go to where the buck stops CEO.  I get results cause I don't take nonsense.
