valley springs short sales: Valley Springs Short Sales: How to know when the short sale negotiator is lying to you - 11/16/10 02:33 AM

If the agent doesn't know who owns the loan (or their short sale guidelines), then the bank negotiators can lie to them. They don't know any better. Let me give you an example.
