The Minnesota Association of Realtors put out a couple of videos this week regarding some short sale practices and the legal implications that could go along with them. It is really informative on what to be careful of, should you decide to be the buyer of a clients home, and then assign the contract to a third party. The process is common in short sales, but the problem arises when the Realtor is also the listing agent, and could be putting his interests ahead of his clients. Like always, transparancy is the keyword in these types of transaction.
