FWI Short Sales

I just got an answer back on a Short Sale and it took 5 MONTHS just make sure you have lots of time bc they take forever for you to hear an answer. They came back with a crazy high $$ amount and we countered which took forever again.. we pulled out bc they offer was redicuous what they wanted..

just so you know..

we had contracts signed, inspection done, and a whole lot of $$ tied up that we put down for a downpayment. Im aggrevated we wasted our time on this house to boot our $$ didnt gain interst in 5 MONTHS

I am never going to do this route again!

Just a heads up.. if you do get involved in short sale see if you can put down a small amt of $$( like 1000 or 2000) if you sign the contracts ect... we put down a HUGE amt and we stressed we wouldnt get it back.. now we are waiting for our check.

They offerd the house at 369 we did a binder for 350 thinking worth a shot..its a short sale..

the bank came back at 415 the amount owed on the house.

Re: FWI Short Sales

I feel your pain, they SHOULD be called long sales. So annoying, especially when you get your hopes set on having that house. It's like they stole 5 months of planning and thinking about the house from you. I know how you feel.Chat Icon Chat Icon
