Last Short Sale Scheduled For Foreclosure!

Last Short Sale Scheduled For Foreclosure!

When the market crashed and everything went downhill, we dived in to short sales.  Today, eight years later, we are down to our last short sale. 

Having worked the file for almost a year, fighting the bank over an outragiously high appraisal, many withdrawn offers, tomorrow it is scheduled for foreclosure. 

So many misgivings over this file.  I'm upset that the sellers have worked so hard getting their paperwork to me quickly, patiently waiting and helping by calling the bank.  This is a young couple that lost their job and couldn't catch up their payments in time to stop the first foreclosure that occurred and now we have another deadline that I can't seem to postpone this time.  The bank closed the file at one point and I had to start over when offers withdrew and we couldn't get an offer for several months.

The other side of the coin  this is the last short sale I have on the books since 2008.  All my other listings are regular listings......yippee!!!!

Thank you for your support and well wishes and remember.....we're never too busy for you or any of your referrals!

It is tough to put in the efforts and then have it all fail apart.  The people that hurt the most are the home owners that tried to get it done but luck was not on their side.

I agree Ed Silva.  These home owners just couldn't get a break.

I go into spasms now when I hear short sales.  I did so many of them, regular sales are easy peasy! Glad it is the end for you! Take a deep breath and smile!

 Good morning Kay Van Kampen . I know that there's a lot of folks out there who thrive on short sales to other folks shudder at them.

Me too Evelyn Johnston.  I lost tract after closing 300 and think I'm burnt out.

Joan Cox short sales were a great way to keep the doors open for several years, but they were stressful and so much work.  Glad they are finished.
