If Short Sales were a Wine....

By
Real Estate Agent with EXP Realty 414-525-0563 57026-90 Broker

  Reading thru some blogs with agents whining about short sales...banks that don't cooperate, mortgage insurance companies unwilling to take losses and don't understand the term "short",  listing agents with no training who thought they would "experiment" at the risk of someone's foreclosure, agents who try selling them but don't prepare their buyers that it can be a "hurry up and wait" game,  Soooo I thought it would be interesting wine/whine flavors that we could create revolving around this area of practice.

 

red wine

 

  Would the wine be red....for what sometimes seems like the blood that the banks and mortgage insurers want from sellers who have already given all they have to give ?

 

 

 

 

Would it be a blush color to reflect the embarrassment that agents who actively practice real estate in today's market find in their cheeks when they learn what they don't know?

blush wine

 

 

  Or would it be white...to indicate the success of a short sale, a clean slate, a second

  chance...a new beginning....

Margi's are way tooo smooth to be short sales...those are friendly banker sales and peppers are first timers who know everything even if they never bought a house.
