My Nightmare Short Sale Experience with BOA

Tanya Redic: Real Estate Agent in Tyler, TX

In December of 2009, after numerous (too many to count at this time but well documented) phone calls to Bank of America (BOA) to attempt to activate a short sale for a friend's property that was scheduled for foreclosure in December, we were finally successful in getting the foreclosure stopped for December and the okay for a short sale. I must note that homeowner has been unemployed and decided that a short sale was her best option. BOA supposedly gave us 90 days for a short sale.

On January 19, 2010 I received a phone call & an email from BOA asking if the homeowner was still interested in a short sale. Duh . . . . The emailed contained documents that were to be turned in along with a sales contract, which we didn't have.

To make a LONG story short, BOA foreclosed on the property February 2, 2010 after stating that we had 90 days. It is very sad that an organization the size of BOA (plus receiving government funds) fail to do what they said that they were going to do and in turn has ruined a single mom's life.

I am not a fan of BOA and won't let this one bad experience stop me from trying to help others with short sales and I will not let this incident get by because someone at BOA didn't do what they were supposed to do!

Oliveto Italian Bistro come to Tyler, Texas

Barbara Dougher  Realtor  2008 Rookie of the Year: Real Estate Agent in Tyler, TX

After moving from the north Dallas area over two years ago, we greatly missed the restaurants that we were used to in that area. Don't get me wrong there are some great places to eat in the Tyler, NE Texas area but most are large chains and aren't very unique.

We have discovered a wonderful Italian Bistro that reminds us so much of our roots! From the moment you walk into Oliveto Italian Bistro you feel you have entered a whole different world. The style of the building is very upscale and classy! The staff is welcoming and very friendly! The interior of the restaurant reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory.

The menu is varied and has a lot to offer. We tried four different dishes and we all sampled each others. I opted for the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and it did not disappoint! The sauce was some of the richest I've tasted. Everyone had nothing but excellent things to say about their food. The prices are very reasonable.

I can't say enough good things about Oliveto Italian Bistro. The address is 3709 Troup Hwy in Tyler. The web-site is http://olivetobistro.com/location_tyler.html
