Short Sale Agents IN A PANIC!!!- Don't Jump Off The Ledge Quite Yet!!!
What may have caused the commotion:
I read a post a day or two ago by one of my fellow short sale experts- Bryant Tutas.  Byrant is not only a short sale expert, but he's a well-known  blogger (and one of my favorites) on activerain. 
Disclosure:  Actually, I'm also a member of Byrant's and Wendy Rulnick's awesome Short Sale Superstars network.  Click this link if you'd like more info on Short Sale Superstars.
That said, Bryant's post was about how Matt Vernon (Short Sale and Deed In Lieu Executive with Bank … (6 comments)

short sale: Have You Had a Problem Working a Short Sale Lately? Here's One Proposed Solution! - 04/12/09 05:32 AM
As any agent (Listing or Buyer's Rep.) or home owner who is currently working - or has tried working in recent past - knows, doing short sales is made much more complicated and extremely slow to process partly because of the following: 
1. Banks are under-staffed and unprepared, and
2. The loss mitigators we are dealing with are ill-trained and inexperienced
3. Those in charge at the banks seem to be "in the dark"
Example, the other day I was trying to negotiate a loan modification (versus short sale - they wanted to stay in the home and had the means to) for one of my clients … (1 comments)

short sale: Whatever Happened to The Golden Rule? Why Not Wish Your Neighbors Well! - 03/08/09 06:19 AM
During the past couple of weeks I've heard the conversation about homeowners who are getting help (read bailout) turn very ugly.  The conversation goes something like this, "well why should they (yes - the proverbial "they") get help when they put themselves in that position?  Shouldn't they have to suffer the consequences?"
Judging by the number of different directions - and the absolute number of different voices I've heard this from - I'm left to believe that the values and thought process behind this ugly conversation is shared by a large percent of homeowners who are not in similar "distressed" situations.
Here's what I think about … (0 comments)

short sale: Unemployment Headed in The Wrong Direction! - 03/08/09 05:21 AM
Got some bad employment news from the guys (Chris & Nathan) at ShortSalesRiches.com.  Check this out!
Quote.
The US Labor Department said that the jobless rate jumped to 8.1% in February, its highest month since 1983, as 651,000 jobs were lost in the month. "The sharp and widespread contraction in the labor market continued in February," stated Keith Hall, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  And most economists expect the unemployment rate to hit 10% before year end.
Let's look back at the last three months of carnage:
December: 681,000 jobs lostJanuary: 655,000 jobs lostFebruary: 651,000 jobs lost
Ouch.
