short sale specialist: PHH Mortgage May Be Listening or Short Sale Escalation Was Successful
- 05/25/13 01:03 AM
PHH Mortgage May Be Listening or Short Sale Escalation Was Successful Yesterday I wrote this post about PHH Mortgage taking on over 300,000 loans from HSBC Bank with only 5 short sale specialist to work the files.
After a few weeks of listening to the person at the phone bank telling me how backup they are and the lack of resources I decided I would write about it. I've done this before with other lenders and services and the results were effective. I've even had Senior V.P.'s call me about my blog post / rant.

Pay-it-Forward - Humane Society Silicon Valley
My pay it forward this week would have been Pay-it-Forward - Mentoring a New Agent - Part Six, however there was not much mentoring this week.
I like being in my new office! I’m actually working IN the office. The difference is like night and day. I am happier. The peacefulness I feel is priceless. I suggested the agent move to the Intero Silver Creek office however she simply is not ready for that. I can understand it. After all she experienced a sudden shift in a short period of time. One day I … (13 comments)

San Jose Short Sales - Another Successful Short Sale
Short Sales are not easy. Managing the short sale process requires knowledge and patience.
This San Jose Short Sale listed in March 2010. The day we received lender approval the first buyer released the contract ... because the house numbers "not lucky numbers."
We finally closed escrow with buyer number 4! The irony about buyer number 4 is that the first buyers claimed the number 4 was unlucky. I believe we disproved that theory when we closed with buyer number 4. Don't you?
The best part ... over one year later ... … (11 comments)

Combined with the closing of three short sale listings we also closed on a purchase with first time home buyers. … (17 comments)

I actually never have until a friend told me about Felon Finder.

short sale specialist: Do you want my client’s underwear too?
- 04/10/11 11:09 AM
Do you want my client’s underwear too?We recently received short sale lender approval on a San Jose Short Sale. The buyer’s agent ordered inspections and returned the signed disclosures. Prior to removing the contingencies, the agent sent me the following email message:
“My client wants the seller to leave the washer, dryer, refrigerator and the mirror above the fireplace. Please help on this matter. Thank you.”
I could not help myself. While still dealing with the “Little Fockers” who wanted me to kickback cash to their buyers under the table … out of escrow … now this?
