It has been great to see how Short Sales are taking an important place in the Real Estate Market over the last 4 years.  When I started to negotiate Short Sales back then, nobody in my office knew or understood this type of transaction (I don't think this has changed all that much since then...) ...

Now is the moment to really understand what is most important in our lives... In speaking with various people I've found it interesting that for us human beings these moments are going to be a new history in many areas.  One of them is changing our idea about pride and what success means.  Having...

A couple of days ago, I was talking with one of my colleagues about Short Sales.  I was astonished when my colleague told me the story of one of her clients in Woodstock, GA.  The client had a first mortgage and a line of credit with one of the banks that was saved from collapse by being bought o...
