This is what it is about, and it's not about the money!

This is a Zillow Review I received today from Gary O, the seller of the most difficult short sale we've worked. The morale of the story is just what Winston Churchill said, "never, never...give up". This home had a City and Fedreal deed restriction that ran with the land and the HUD that made it impossible to sell. I must have been out of my mind to take it in the first place!  Regardless, not only was this a BOA short sale, but every buyer had to qualify with the City of Hollywood regarding family and income limits. We worked five offers until one buyer met the qualifications, patiently submitted the reams of paperwork, met with the city for an interview and hung around long enough to close. I have to thank my team, especially my team negotiator Deborah, Bank of America, the City of Hollywood for their patience and understanding over the two year ordeal and the Herculean efforts on everyone's part to get this file closed.

 Highly likely to recommendSold a home in 2011.

Summary:

"What an incredible Realtor you are ED!

I have to admit at first, I didn't think that my house could be sold. We had so much restrictions, city guideline, deeds loans clause, I mean you name it, it was on our house. We were a bit hopeless, however with g-d anything is possible! He brought Ed Goldfarb our way. After a few months Ed found us a buyer, but the buyer walked away due to complication and issues. He found yet another and another however like I said this was a very complicated deal we came close, but things fell through At one point I asked Ed would you like to give up now? his reply was: "I like a challenge!" To keep a long story short. After almost 2 years on May 22, 2011, I signed off on a contract and yes my house was sold. I am still in awe of how he did it. I am so amazed, impressed, grateful of Ed Goldfarb's help!

Thanks again Ed, you are truly excellent at what you do!"
