[quote=bearishgurl] ….The crooked agents handling “short sales” are the ones who are profiting from them and causing (in collusion with greedy sellers who don’t deserve anything) the closing prices of these properties to plummet (on the record) whilst at the same time their undeserving client often miraculously walks away from the sale with even MORE cash in their pockets.
Go figure. It’s par for the course ….[/quote]
I am sure there are some honest agents, honest sellers, and mortgage servicers. How many? Well, not 100%. The US is neither the most corrupt country in the world, nor the most pristine. We’ve probably come down a few rungs since Greenspan and then Bernanke decided to pump in enough money to cover all the normal consequences of large-scale financial shenanigans.
