seller: Overcoming Bank of America's Short Sale Delaying Tactics - 02/18/11 01:13 PM
                       
Bank of America                                                               Realtor defending short sale

This week, amidst all the other gut-wrenching challenges presented by today's short sale real estate, I discovered yet another B of A sneaky delaying tactic that they use to prevent short sales from operating in a timely manner. 
This is a particularly FRUSTRATING tactic - and I'm sure they delight in using it.  Here is the realtor, uploading documents as requested on Equator.  Pictures must be in jpg format.  Written documents must be in PDF format.  No problem, right?  WRONG!!!!!!!!!
I uploaded all the pertinent documents 3 different times, and … (3 comments)

seller: Short Sale Disasters 101 - 02/04/11 02:05 AM
Imagine this screaming woman as a buyer, a seller, a Realtor...maybe it's YOU! I know we're in a bad economy and real estate is still operating at a level of about 10 below Rock, but seriously, does the short sale process have to be so heinous?

Due to the current economy, I, like most Realtors, have had to deal mainly with short sales.  I kee reading all these hopeful articles detailing how much the short sale process has improved when, in reality, it is barely better than it was a year ago.  Sure, B of A has started their Equator.com, and Chase actually lets you talk to real people instead of just emails.  But Wells Fargo certainly hasn't developed any better customer service - most of the negotiators I've dealt with only give you an email or, at best, a fax number by which to contact … (3 comments)

seller: GETTING SHORT SALE APPROVAL-AFTER ONLY SEVEN MONTHS! - 11/15/10 08:11 PM
Wow! We FINALLY got approval today on a short sale we've been working on for over SEVEN MONTHS!  Thus far, we've lost three buyers, had to re-start the process four times, and then ended up telling the negotiator to tell the bank to go ahead and take the blasted property back - we were THAT tired of dealing with the horrific process that we have to go through to get short sale approval (yes folks, this was a B of A deal).  You all know the drill.  At the end of seven long months, the bank came back and said that … (4 comments)
