A short time ago I wrote a blog called "War Has Been Declared". It was about a young couple that was divorcing and the struggle I was having getting their property on the market and beginning the short sale process. I am not telling you the Hatfields and McCoys have apologized to each other or that the Yankees and Red Sox are exchanging Christmas cards, but I will tell you there is peace in the valley (that's the Central Valley here in California) or at least a temporary truce.
I explained to each side that not getting the short sale completed would have a devastating effect on their credit as not selling would result in a foreclosure(I tried to sound threatening). I told them you don't have to like each to do business with each other and this is a business agreement. It worked. We sat down and signed a listing agreement, filled out the short sale package, and the sign goes in the front yard this afternoon.
We haven't completed the transaction and there is still a long way to go, but for now there is peace in the valley.
