Ahhhhhhhhh!! The joys of working and processing short sales! Some of you Super Stars may understand the motive for today's post. Others may just be on the other end of my message. I love short sales. No, I mean I truly enjoy the art and skill necessary to do this amazing job.

I love it so much that I've begun doing it for other Realtors who either don't have the time and/or skill. I do it for FREE and I truly take great pride in what I do. However, there are days when you get hit over the head and taken for a ride in this amazing business.

So I been working a short sale with Aurora for the last three months. It's a Freddie and it's been a dooooosy. We have the second with United Guaranty who then gave it over to DCS (Another story). So after calling, working, crying (JK LOL) smiling, postponing the foreclosure sale and everything else we finally got it to a negotiator only to get a call from the Realtor to say "Hey, I started calling this week and I have APPROVAL in hand".

What...!! Now it may be my own self-conscious but I just feel like this feeling of "I got it done quicker than you". Don't get me wrong, I'm for the borrower and whatever whenever to get them to avoid foreclosure. It's just that the APPROVAL is like that Holy Grail of processing the short sale. It's like running a marathon only for them to say "hey we stopped the race, come back tomorrow".

So great job for the Realtor and borrower and I'm very happy. Once again......The joys of short sales!!
