Improving Finances After Completing Short Sale or Foreclosure - 08/16/11 09:54 PM
Doing a short sale instead of a foreclosure is a no brainer....or is it?  There can be problems either way.  Bill Gassett explains it well.

If you fail to pay your mortgage during a short … (4 comments)

Twitter Helped Me Close A Bank of America Short Sale! - 08/03/11 09:45 PM
Twitter Helped Me Close A Bank of America Short Sale!  I listed 389 Waterwheel in Sparta Missouri last year and after once offer walking because Bank of America countered the offer, we received another offer last month.

It didn't take long to get an approval.  We had a great negotiator up until last week, when the negotiator was transferred to a different department.  The final … (12 comments)
