short sale buyers: Adding Buyers to the Deed After You Get Short Sale Approval is a PITA - 02/20/13 11:45 PM
Just don't do it, I tell short sale buyers, don't change your mind at the last minute. You're asking for agony and possibly losing that short sale you're trying to buy. But buyers don't stop to think about this stuff because, after all, if you buy a pair of jeans that don't quite fit right at Macy's, you can always take them back after you get home and trade them in for something else. This is the world of buyer satisfaction, and we mean complete satisfaction or your money back.

short sale buyers: This Is Why Your Neighbor's For Sale Sign Is Falling Over - 07/04/12 01:03 AM
Neighbors wonder what's going on when For Sale signs stay forever in the yard. What's wrong with that Sacramento short sale? Because of the changing demographics in neighborhoods over the past 5 to 7 years, many neighbors don't know each other anymore. So, they can only speculate what's happening in their community, especially among the short sales and foreclosures.
The truth is there is probably nothing wrong with that short sale house. People might think it's the bank that is being stubborn when it's just as likely to be the buyer who is causing the problem. How do I know this? … (9 comments)

short sale buyers: How to Increase the Odds That a Buyer's Sacramento Short Sale Will Close - 01/23/10 12:58 AM
If a buyer for homes in Land Park asks me to show a short sale listing, I do investigative work before putting that home on tour. There's just no sense in letting a buyer fall in love with a home that might not close escrow. See, the problem with short sales in Sacramento is the entire short sale process is dependent upon the listing agent. The buyer's agent has no involvement after the offer has been accepted by the seller.
I check to see if the Sacramento short sale agent has other listings and whether any of those are short sales. … (12 comments)

short sale buyers: Some Fannie Mae Short Sales Pay Commission to a Third-Party Vendor - 07/01/09 01:59 AM
As delighted as I was over the announcement a while back that Fannie Mae short sales will pay full commissions on my Sacramento short sale listings, there seems to always be a twist in this business. It comes with the territory of being a Sacramento short sale agent.
Sacramento short sales are always on my mind. But this morning, I am thinking about my home state of Minnesota. Pondering whether Princess Kay of the Milky Way will get her head sculpted in butter for the Minnesota State Fair this year or whether Fair officials may opt to carve a hunk of … (9 comments)

short sale buyers: Everybody Has Nationwide Calling Plans But Me, Do You Believe That? - 05/31/09 03:08 AM
Along with the upside of being a real estate agent and writing for a national web site such as About.com, there is also a downside. It's easy for consumers to find my telephone number. I could remove my cellphone number from my website, but what's the point? I want people to be able to call me. Especially home buyers and sellers in Sacramento.
Sometimes short sale buyers call me because they are frustrated with their agent or the way their transaction is going. It's hard for them to understand that a) as a REALTOR, I can't interfere in another agent's transaction … (15 comments)
