There are many agents that are upset about short sale buyers walking with no penalties.  They work very hard to get an approval and then the buyer just walks and gets out of the contract based on the inspection period, or the condo docs, or the financing contingency.

I just found another Destin, FL Real Estate buyer a great deal on a short sale, and here is how I did it.  Just recently, a fantastic short sale was placed on the market.  The property was in a hot neighborhood and in an great condition.  Sounds great, right.  Wait a second, there are some major set backs. The home is overpriced, there are not many photos on the MLS, and it is tenant occupied.  So what did I do?  I was persistent and gained access to the property, and man was it PERFECT!  I took about 20 … (2 comments)
