It is so refreshing to finaly hear someone with intelligent and correct information. If we continue to give the correct information enough times maybe someone will listen. thanks great service and we will change the market even if the government is against us….. just a personal observation. 🙂

In fact, it can be equally damaging. That is one of the areas that must be negotiated with the lender.

An agent can never guarantee a clean exit via a short sale. Homeowners should be wary of anyone who promotes short sales as an easy and no-risk exit strategy from real estate ownership.

Sometimes it is the seller who loves THE MARKET, and sometimes it is the buyer.

Why do so many sellers have difficulty understanding they will get more by asking for less at the initial listing?
