I Don't Feel Sorry For You Short Sale Person

By
Real Estate Agent with Summit Sotheby's International Realty

You borrowed more money than you knew your house was worth. You stopped making your mortgage payments 5 months ago and are living rent free. When I ask you for the paperwork your bank requires so I CAN SAVE YOU FROM FORECLOSURE AND GETTING KICKED OUT OF YOUR HOUSE, you are too busy. When potential buyers want to see your house, it is not convenient or when I show your home, it looks like a bomb went off. You are going to wind up on the street with ruined credit and will tell everyone you are a "victim" of the system. Sorry-I don't feel sorry for you.

Amen, Nancy! I'm sure there are some homeowners who really did get hit with some unforeseen obstacle -- a health care emergency or a sudden job loss. But most of these people got in over their head and now won't do anything to help. And I don't feel that it is our job to help them. Let the bank foreclose, then find a buyer who wants a great deal on an REO home.
