Apple Valley short sale complete

Short sale completed in Apple Valley MN

Home owner saved from foreclosure on credit report.

If you are in a situation where you are facing a short sale ask yourself this, "Am I hiring the best person for the job possible"? Looking at many short sale listings in the MLS I see time and time again the same situation. I'm going to hire my Uncle Junior's 3rd cousin removed because he is related to me. It doesn't matter that they have never completed a short sale nor have the competence to complete one. I have a sign in my yard and it will take care of itself. Wrong answer.

I'm working with an agent that we are representing the buyer in this transaction. We wrote our offer in September and I have had contact with the listing agent a total of 3 times. I can never get this individual on the phone. I finally got thru to them and asked how it was moving. They kind of laughed and asked if I could help them complete the short sale as they did not know too proceed. What! You took a short sale listing and didn't know even how to process it. Unreal.

I just completed a short sale in Apple Valley that had 3 mortgages and 2 tax liens. The buyers agent received weekly updates so they knew how the file was progressing. There are right ways and wrong ways to do a short sale. The right way-hire me. The wrong way-hire Uncle Junior's 3rd cousin removed because if I don't Uncle Junior might call me. I haven't talked to him for 10 years but I don't want that phone to ring.

People facing a short sale or foreclosure do you homework. It is your financial future at stake. I'm going on a listing appointment on Thursday and the first thing the homeowner told me was the other agent "told him" to stop paying his mortgage. Really? Talk about wanting to get sued.
