Upside Down House   We recently got a call from an agent who was going to show one of our Short Sale listings for the second time.  In Wisconsin at this point in time....not everyone understands Short Sales. That everyone includes realtors, attorneys,....and of course buyers and sellers.  I asked the showing agent if she and her buyer understood short sales.  Invariably the answer is the same..."Of course." You bet...of course....because you know you probably SHOULD know....but you don't....so see if you can fake it with the lister....maybe I just list them and don't know either...oh not !  The next question was interesting..."Have you asked the bank how many days it will take them to accept the offer?"    Oh sure....and then I asked them if they were sending ME a closing gift instead of invariably cutting commission.  There is no shame in saying you don't know.....you are not completely familiar.....could the listing agent please explain....and hopefully the lister DOES get it...CAN explain it.  Unfortunately as much as I wish every lender was just sitting there waiting for me to send them a short sale package...there are hundreds of files on every Loss Mitigator's Desk. It is the job of our team to see that our package is put together well...written well, received promptly and that we know the mitigator and the mitigator knows us....and our sellers' property.

          We are trained CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Experts).  We have a team devoted to saving homeowners from Foreclosure. No matter where you live....whatever your hardship....divorce, unemployment, illness, death, adjustable mortgage....there are lots of reasons...and combinations of reasons....we can help you....give us a call...locally: 414-525-0563 or Toll Free: 877-525-0563 nationally. If you are not in southeastern Wisconsin, we can refer you to someone in your local area that can explain the alternatives to you. Know that someone understands.....we want to help you...you are not alone. We don't just list short sales, we close them.
