Admittedly, I haven't done a short sale in about a year now.  It used to be 40% of my business, but I now have 2 coming up in the same week.  I heard there are changes taking effect Feb 1, 2015…Continue

Yes, that's right, I already had the approval letter in hand and everyone was proceeding to the close date.  The buyer did their inspection and was ready to move forward.  No indication of trouble in…Continue

Fannie Mae has become unreasonable on their asking price

Over the last few months, it has become apparent that Fannie Mae is more interested in foreclosing than approving short sales.  The scenario is the same over and over again.  The BPO comes in at one…Continue

Weird situation here that I basically don't understand.  I've been doing short sales for clients for a few years and have never run into this situation.
