The 12 Days of Short Sale Christmas - The Silly Version!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Unlimited

You know the song. Now here's the real estate version during this short sale season!

On the first day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the second day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the third day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the fourth day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the fifth day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, five golden comps, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the sixth day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, six banks a scheming, five golden comps, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the seventh day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, seven months of waiting, six banks-a-scheming, five golden comps, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the eighth day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, eight neighbors seething, seven months of waiting, six banks-a-scheming, five golden comps, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the ninth day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, nine showings scheduled, eight neighbors seething, seven months of waiting, six banks-a-scheming, five golden comps, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the tenth day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, ten liens-a-laying, nine showings scheduled, eight neighbors seething, seven months of waiting, six banks-a-scheming, five golden comps, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the eleventh day of Christmas my short sale gave to me, eleven buyers pimping, ten liens-a-laying, nine showings scheduled, eight neighbors seething, seven months of waiting, six banks-a-scheming, five golden comps, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my short sale gave to me, twelve crappy offers, eleven buyers pimping, ten liens-a-laying, nine showings scheduled, eight neighbors seething, seven months of waiting, six banks-a-scheming, five golden comps, four title blemishes, three negotiators later, two worn out agents and an overgrown house under a palm tree.

                                                                          

I'm certain every short sale agent, buyer or seller can relate to the chaos of the transaction. Can you imagine going through this at Christmas?!

Jen - very apt for the season. Will probably be used at Christmas parties around the country. (You could get rich on the royalties - you did copyright it, didn't you???)
