We have been working on a short sale for a while here in Panama City.  The second mortgage quickly agreed to release for 3000 but the first continued to ignore me.  I knew the negotiators name so I called a senior supervisor to tell them that this negotiator was ignoring me and would not return my calls and emails.  After the negotiator got a good chewing from the supervisor, my broker recieved a call saying that the lender would approve the file only if it was transferred away from me and to another agent.  Evidently the negotiator did not like being called out, too bad, it needed to happen.  So my broker puts the file in another agents name and low and behold, the lender approves the short sale for $120,000.  Now is when the real stupidity comes in, the seller owes $104,000 on the home and even after paying the 3000 to the second, the first would be paid in full and would not require a short sale.  What is even dumber is the BPO came in at $85,000 and most likely an appraisal would follow suit.

You just can't fix stupid sometimes............. Rest assured this one will get done!!!
