Short Sale Survey - Interesting Feedback

Hello everyone, this site (ShortSaleSuperstars) is awesome! I can't believe that I have not seen it sooner.



Recently I did a survey with agents here in Northern California, and I have to assume that the numbers should be consistent with the US, and one of the questions I asked was how long it takes for a short sale close from beginning to end and the answers were evenly split between 3-5 months and 5-7 months.

Florida leads U.S. in serious mortgage delinquencies

WASHINGTON – Nov. 19, 2010 – Florida still leads the nation in the

Indymac Serviceres over step their bounds

As an agent that focuses largely on short sales, I continually see the ways that Freddie Mac gets in their own way. They are asking for this aid, but they have put themselves i nto the situation that…
