Why do I do love helping Destin Florida short sale sellers? The letter I just received after a successful Miramar Beach short sale closing with two mortgages explains it all....   "Wendy,   Tim and I would like to express our sincerest gratitude in making a difficult situation of having to short sell our house as painless as it was.  You were so responsive, answering my questions almost immediately, holding my hand through panicky moments, and expecting the best of people like when you told me you chose to take people at their word when my lender (Green Tree) appeared to me … (6 comments)

green tree short sales: How to Challenge a Short Sale Lender’s Valuation – And Win - 07/29/10 11:42 AM
 
Your short sale was approved?  Wonderful.  The buyer’s lender under-appraises the property?  Not so good.  What do you do? 
Do you call the short sale lender and tell them their comps were wrong?  Do you scream "the market is still going down, take the new price or the seller will file bankruptcy"?  Do you say "You’ll never get another buyer for this home”? 
The short sale lender has heard all that before.  Normally, they don’t care.  You’re just another whining real estate agent.  But there is a way to get a value changed if the circumstances are right.  … (45 comments)

green tree short sales: Green Tree Approves Elliotts Point, Fort Walton Beach FL Short Sale - 03/26/10 01:19 AM

Green Tree Servicing has approved the short sale on this home in Elliotts Point, Fort Walton Beach Florida.  The odd thing about the approval was that Fannie Mae initially rejected the short sale because the seller was current on his payments, even though he had a hardship, as I wrote in "Current on  Your Mortgage? Short Sale Denied!".  He was told he could get 30 days behind, then  resubmit the short sale package. He did so, and another 30 days later, the sale was approved! 
It's Wendy!
