Abused and neglected children. Unfortunately, you can find them in all our communities.
It seems unbelievable this could happen in our small, little, rural southern town or for that matter in Anytown, USA. But it does, everyday.
For the last two years, I have had the privilege of working with an organization in our community known as CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates).

Wells Fargo instructs the sellers and their agent to just get an offer. They WILL work the short sale.
So, the sellers accept a fair offer. Just a few thousand less than the recent Wells Fargo appraisal.
Contract is sent to Wells Fargo for short sale approval.
I do believe that all short sale negotiators should be paid on commission. I have not found one that seemed to care about their asset or the work involved by all in getting the home to closing.
The short sale negotiator at Wells Fargo (and believe me I want to mention his stupid name) but won't, changes the terms of the contract...he is OK with the sales price, but the sellers have agreed to pay $3100 in buyer closing costs and he changes it to $2100. Along with reducing the real estate commission by a percentage point, There are two medical liens on the property totaling $1500 that he also refuses to pay. Why should Wells Fargo pay their medical bills, he asks....well, duh, because you want to sell the property.
The buyer was unwilling to come up with another thousand dollars and walked. The sellers were so frustrated, they have informed Wells Fargo they are moving out of the country and to proceed with foreclosure. We all know that in foreclosure they will get thousands less than the short sale price.
What's wrong with these investors??? This makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe someone out there can help us all understand how short sale decisions are made!!!!

What a stink around town this week.....the new Tax Assessor Values were sent to all Henderson County homeowners.
Good news!!! The phones are ringing tirelessly. Most want to sell them homes!!! Well, you would think that's good news, right? Well, only if they can get what the Henderson County Property Assessor says their home is worth. Yeah, right!
No increase in tax rate for Henderson County may be true, but oh, you sneaky little County Officials, increase the value thus increasing the property taxes. Ummmm!
Some property owners have hired licensed appraisers to challenge the County property tax value. Not sure the outcome.
The biggest complaint I have heard has been there seems to be no consistency in the values. Neighbors talk and compare, so when your neighbor pays far less taxes than you for the same size home acoss the street, well, homeowners expect a reasonable explanation.
There has been so many complaints to the elected officials, a special called meeting is scheduled to hear resident concerns.
Henderson County homeowners should keep in mind, we have 8 county schools to maintain, a new jail, unpaved roads, and the list goes on and on!!! Tax dollars pay for most of these things!!!!
