You want me to What? You Little "Fockers" - What Happened?

When I wrote You want me to WHAT? You Little "Fockers" I was venting at the unthinkable position my clients were in because the buyers' agent, the buyers and the lender wanted me to kick back money to the buyers out of escrow.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and support. Many of you asked for an update on what happened with the San Jose Short Sale.

This is what happened.

I agreed to pay the buyers - but would not agree to pay them under the table - outside of escrow. Despite my effort to make it work and give the buyers what they wanted ... the buyers sent a cancellation of contract. Of course, the one page form was not filled out correctly. No surprise there - clearly the “Little Focker” is without a clue. He is now on his 4th attempt to complete the form.

I know we are not supposed to allow our emotions to get involved in our real estate transactions. While I am managing to handle the “Little Fockers” professionally, I remain upset by the fact that my willingness to give the buyers a substantial sum of money was not enough and this places my clients at high risk of foreclosure. It’s been over one year. Trustee Sale dates have been postponed so many times.

While I may not have enough time to market the property and find another buyer before the lender forecloses, I will not give up on my efforts to save the home from foreclosure. After all, it is what my clients hired me to do.

In addition, a fellow Rainmaker contacted me regarding the "Little Fockers." This person shall remain anonymous unless that person chooses to comment or write their own post about the action they want to take with the “Little Focker” who requested me to pay buyers money under the table.

The “Little Fockers” was released on DVD on April 5, 2011. Perfect timing …I plan to watch it this weekend. I need to laugh more in these challenging times.
