News to me. Have a Short Sale with GMAC. Just submitted offer + supporting docs. Get a call from a guy that says, "I'm working for FNMAE backed short sales..I will be your negotiator with the Investor." Hmmm. I talked to GMAC and they confirmed.
This guy tells me that due to so much fraud by Realtors, his company (at 1% fee) handles the deal directly with the Investor via Kazork.com He sends me all the FNMAE package docs for my Sellers to sign. Claims he's going to have an answer within 30 days. I do have an offer, but apparently, Buyers Agents may upload offers directly to the site. They'll pick the best offer!
We shall see..

Sounds good Bryant. But it didn't seem that I had a choice. I guess GMAC has hired them directly? I, as the List Agent, am required to use them. No getting around it. Doesn't affect commissions, but does cost them an additional 1%. Still pretty confused...
I also have to clarify my original forum topic as he got after me. The quote is not his. It was my memory of what he said. He is right. If it's not his direct quote, I should not put quote marks around it. I'll be more careful.
