Actually they asked my impressions of the deal and I told them I had no strong feelings either way. They thought the visibility may help the lender accept the short sale as many lenders have been cranky accepting offers for short sales. They said they would talk about it for an hour and called me back. I told them that they needed to consider that it will be likely that they would be seen by friends, family, coworkers…. etc… They then said they needed to reconsider, called me back and said that was something they would rather not move forward with.
The bottom line is they made a bad financial decision when they bought, then refinanced to pay of credit cards, then overpriced the home when they listed last year and this year with their previous realtor and the home didn’t sell. Hubby lost his job as well a few months ago and hasn’t found solid employment yet.
They are nice enough people, and they made bonehead moves and will likely loose their home because of it. Nothing more, nothing less. If you like you can call them names and bury them. They acknowledge it are taking their medicine.
