We that deal with Lot's of short sales day to day, listings and buyers know that we are faced with a challenge. If this job was easy there would not be so many dropping out as Real Estate Agents.
I have had the most difficult deal since I have started.
It was hard from the beginning, we got an offer in and then I found out they were behind in everything. I called weekly, kept them informed, begged them to lower their price.
I was on top of everything, so I thought weekly, sometimes two calls a week to the lender. Asking to get the sale date postponed, begging to be assigned a negotiator, and doing all the things I have done many times. I'm a pro right?
Well I was able to get the sale date postponed once, but the second time it did not happen.
We had a good offer, so I thought, and had all that they required turned in on time. It went to sale, my buyers went on to find another home ,not wanting to wait any longer.
I feel I did what should have been done, keeping everyone informed.
This is the first time I have lost a short sale. My record was great! Now I guess it is still good. I don't like to loose,
I feel very sorry for the buyers who stuck with this for 6 months. I would have liked to see them happily rewarded with a new home for their patience.
Oh well, win some loose some. Just keep trying.
