One Short Sale in Gainesville VA

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Virginia Realty Partners, LLC.

The one short sale in Gainesville VA that I am referring to is my first short sale listing. The first night after my seller signed the listing agreement, my one short sale in Gainesville VA, was horrible. "I couldn't sleep at all last night" to put it mildly. I spent all night worrying about how best to help in a real sad situation.

I have read so many short sale sad stories here on AR but to actually have a close encounter is really humbling and sad. My young seller is from the midwest, here working in Northern Virginia and just divorced. All alone now my client wants  to return home. A high profile government job will be gone if their credit score takes a 300 point hit.

Being a Dad myself I knew this young person was really all alone in the big city and has made me feel an extra sense of responsibility to help as best I can. Not that I don't with all of my clients. This, one short sale in Gainesville VA, feels different. From our first meeting my client was so down and distraught.

Other then my duty as a Realtor I have tried to be extra upbeat and all so positive whenever we are together.

 

I sure hope this all ends soon.

Yes, short sales can be sad.  My first short sale was a young man who bought a lakeside condo to be built.  Before it was finished, he found himself in all sorts of trouble including alcoholic wife with mental illness, divorce, suddenly single parent of 3 and other stuff too! 

We eventually sold it and he never even got to see it!!!

Really, every story that I hears seems to out do the previous. Thanks for your comments Steve!
