dharmagirl, I am not an agent but a buyer. The banks are willing to unload their non-functional assets, that is true. But it is also true that the banks do not have enough man-power. I am not sure what process for the banks to go through before a deal is cut, but for SS, they are really taking a long time to process. Certainly there are successful stories but not as many as failed stories.
“She made it sound like the paperwork, bank’s possible refusal, timeframe, etc. are a nightmare for most buyers and that she wants her buyers to be happy by choosing a home that they can get into and not risked being bitterly disappointed by the bank’s non-response or refusal to play ball.”
What she said was really true and that reminds me of my previous story that made me swear that I will not go through SS again in my life. She is not lying to you. The worst is that you will get highly disappointed after several months of waiting without generating nothing. You can try.
Marion, thanks for your quote. That was written by me (a buyer but not an agent). I was just telling you what I feel about SS, nothing discouraging.
