Is this the New Fannie Mae Logo?  

Let me get this straight, Fannie Mae pays out approx $13 million in 

corporate bonuses to the "masterful leadership", the company asks 

for approx. $7.8 billion dollars for the past quarter of performance, 

and then the Great Fannie Mae states sorry you short sellers, we are

not going to give any auction postponements.                              

  Why no auction postponement?

Well, Fannie Mae wants to preserve their capital by not paying 

the service companies beyond a postponed auction date.

I do believe that should be worth another several million dollars in

bonus money for the Corporate Chieftain's Wisdom.

     I received the Approval Letter for a home with a purchase price of $230,000, I needed to have an auction postponement of 2 days (in the state of Arizona the HOA gets 10 business days to deliver their letter of demand)  and in this case the HOA had not delivered it's letter yet, I needed 2 more business days, but the Great Fannie Mae in their wisdom stated "we will not postpone".  So the home went to FORECLOSURE.

     Oh, did I mention that the home sold approx. 5 months later at a price of $185,000, and along the way we the taxpayers paid out the additional HOA fees, the additional property taxes, and for the upkeep of the home.

     I have a question, is this action worth another bonus?

I believe the answer is rhetorical, and I do believe the "Wonderful World of Short Sales" makes one a bit 

cynical.

Where is Jimmy Buffet and MargaritaVille, is he at the End of the World Party?

Hi Jim I'm with you ...Had a similar situation happen to me two times...Each time the homes sold for almost $100,000 less and it appears that they could care less.

I'm with you and Ronald from above. I had a similar situation happen. The house ended up selling for over 17k less than what my short sale offer would have brought the bank. I don't understand the logic. Except the bank will have us the taxpayers to bail them out...but who's bailing out the taxpayers? The banks certainly aren't helping with their unwillingness to committ to short sales.  And those that have had a short sale or foreclosure get hit twice...once with the foreclosure or short sale and the second time to bail out the bank. Don't get me started. I see my own blog rant coming on.

I hear you Jim, I'm going through a similiar scenario with Wells Fargo and the VA. They don't care - period. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Ridiculous and frustrating.
