People who are losing their homes very often have multiple problems....in addition to financial problems there are health issues, women who have been battered....deaths of primary wage earners. The stories are many, the lives very sad and while we can't fix all of their problems and get them a new life...we believe that doing a short sale gives them a leg up on a fresh start in life. We sometimes have situations where sellers are working more than one job or long hours at a job and cleaning is not a high priority with children to take care of, multiple medical issues and problems that one can barely imagine surviving all at one time.
Invariably......we get feedback from a Realtor who feels it is necessary to comment on the lack of housekeeping...they should have done this, cleaned that, replaced this....taken better care of....I feel my blood pressure rise as I read the judgemental remarks which almost always begin with how great they are as Realtors and they have seen lots of houses....and they know that the very least that the Seller(s) could have done would be to......
No....Mr./Ms Realtor...the very least you could do is be professional and realize that you do not ...and will never know the whole story behind the house that did not meet your standards....the life that fell apart...and keep your comments befitting a professional.
If you or anyone you know is unable to make their mortgage payments, feel free to give us a call and we will get them the professional assistance they need from professionals who pass no judgement.
