Nashville TN – Many people mistakenly think that a short sale is adversarial. "I will fight that banker and convince them to let me short sale and walk away from the upside down debt", they think to themselves. That is not how short sales actually work. Most negotiations are not adversarial. In fact, most short sale negotiators are just normal people. Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure. They go to work each day and go thru their files. There is a lot of paperwork and reports that have to be filed. Most of them don't get out of bed looking forward to a tough negotiation.

Nashville TN – A few years ago most agents didn’t understand short sales. They didn’t want to get involved on them because of the extra work required. Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure. Short sales take two to three times as much work. The extra effort can be draining at times. Some agents openly admit that they hate short sales. Is that the type of person you want working for you? Others believe it is wrong for a seller to walk away without a deficiency judgment. “I have heard some agents say that people should be able to walk away from their “obligations.” Do you think that type of agent is going to push hard for the bank to waive a deficiency? (By the way, that is one of our missions at the Stop Foreclosure Institute. We w... 10/24/2011

In the Palm of My Hand...      The other day while working on one of my Koi ponds, I heard a loud thump on one of the glass windows to the sun room and a very recognizable squeak. Hummers get rather aggressive around the feeder this time of year as they buzz one another in order to secure the remaining supply of nectar for themselves.      Looking up, I saw this hummer flop to the ground right in front of me and I had to reach out to keep it from falling into the pond. Now if any of you are an old softie when it comes to humming birds like me, I thought what a tragedy if this little fellow just did himself in. I picked the bird up and noticed that this must be the male that has been visiting my feeder for the past few weeks.      He lay motionless in my hand. Not looking good I thought ... 09/27/2011

Palindromes...     Palindromes. Those words, phrases, numbers, or other sequences of units that can be read the same way in either direction, with general allowances for adjustments to punctuation and word dividers. How often do we see them here in the Rain? I can probably count on one hand the number of times it has happened to me. But then, maybe some of you have been luckier than I have.      Nevertheless, I thought I'd share one of ActiveRain's oddities as this is what I logged into this morning... 09/25/2011
