Yes it was in a differen tpost but you were talking about the EXACT same thing. In fact in that thread you brought up the Holmes case again and you were referencing it again. In that thread that is where you made your assertion you were going to talk to other realtors to find out how many short sales fell through due to all those deadbeat dads and people with judgements.
Different thread but EXACT same topic and you DID SAY buyers were losing money due to THIS TOPIC we are discussing.
So please don’t say that you did not say something when you clearly did, it doesn’t mattter if it was another thread, it was the same topic. EXACT same topic.

No fortunately (I hope) your posts are not scaring Piggs. Hopefully Piggs work with agents who have done a short sale within the last 19 years. Furthermore there are many more lurkers here then anyone even knows and many of them are first time buyers. Hopefully they would identify recent practical experience over armchair experts. I can not enforce or predict what most agents do or do not take care of in their own listing appts. Coming from the engineering field, I find most agents are boobs and I can never rely on them. That is just part of the process and you guide your clients through the bogs as best you can.

Like other posters here who foretold all of us about the foreclosure tsunami, I am quite confident that your bold prediction about how this “landmark ruling” will cause a “wholesale change” in the way short sales are conducted is wrong.
I guess time will tell and we will see. I am not saying those changes you suggested would not be very good for the industry. However I prefer to live in the here and now and get things done as best I can within the current framework.
