No one’s “jumping to any conclusions here.” Which part of my post was “jumping to conclusions?” You supplied the “facts” here, SDR.
researcher9 is not the ONLY Pigg who has posted here in recent months stating that they were not able to get their offers considered after submitting them within a day of a “short-sale” listing going “public.” I’m sure you are aware that there were several more. There is obviously a “systemic” problem with the way many listing agents are “handling” the presentation (or lack thereof) of these offers (to benefit themselves and/or their client-seller at the expense of the lenders involved).
I have a question about your short sale which you did not “double-end.” Of the “single exception” who was willing to satisfy the 2nd TD holder, did this payment show up as part of this buyer’s reported “sales price” as noted on his/her “Change of Ownership” form to the County Assessor?” In other words, is the assessed value of this property now equal to the 1st + 2nd TD holder payoff or just the 1st TD holder payoff, (+ 2% per year, if applicable)??
