Even upscale Longboat Key isn't immune from Short Sales. Here's a recent ad I developed thinking that I might want to market to bottom-feeders.

On reflection... do I really want to encourage these types of buyers with this complexity of transaction? What's your opinion?

I suspect that you would want them, but I also suspect that the ad is too "insider" for them to understand.

The short sale can be OK with the right buyer and the right seller. Check to see if the seller has greed to pay deficiency judgments if they have assets. If the buyer isn't in a hurry and has time, iy can work.

I advertise for short sale buyers all the time, usually they don't know how bad it really is trying to get this type of home. But, you can educate them and if they still want to buy, why not help them, they are buyers and if they are willing to wait, so am I!

Welcome to Activerain, but I actually did like the add, it was humorous.
