I'm not getting across my message to my seller, but I'll keep trying or terminate the listing.
Short sales just aren't easy, but some short sale sellers really want to sell rather than have their home foreclosed. Some short sales sellers actually listen and take advice.
Buyers are really discriminating these days, I think, even more than before the drop in real estate. Buyers want clean homes and need to see space so they can visualize their personal property in the house. So I advise all my sellers the same, whether short sale, foreclosure, or not. The house needs to be uncluttered, clean, and cosmetically appealing to the majority of buyers.
31 days have gone by and here's the state of my seller's house:
1. 31 days later and the house isn't cleaned up yet.
2. 31 days later and there is way too much furniture in the living areas.
3. 31 days later and the backyard grass is 2 feet tall.
4. 31 days later and the enormous number of liquor bottles are still crowding the kitchen counters.
5. 31 days later and the fist holes in the sheet-rock walls seems to have increased.
6. 31 days later, 6 appointments made, 5 appointments denied.
The lender says will not consider the short sale approval without a contract offer.
Time to terminate?
