OT-Funniest Short sale tale to date

[SD Realtor]

Bearish dealing with the negotiators in loss mitigation is not hard at all. You know what to expect because they simply follow a template that is easy and predictable. These are 12-15 dollar an hour people but the recipe for their process is such that once you have been through it a few times it becomes quite simple….

With realtors it is much more frustrating. Most of them are not degreed and a large percentage usually don’t know what they are talking about. Many of them are smooth enough to convince many people into representation yet they will make bonehead moves like this. It is an interesting dichotomy, they can be quite convincing. From my perspective I hate dealing with realtors who are idiots. Negotiators for the bank are easy.

Exactly SD R. The people working for the banks are low level processors and you just need to be nice to them to get what you want. Many realtors are not bright but have big egos because they cashed a big check or two in their careers. When they dont kn ow what they are doing or are lazy, they simply get ornery as a defense mechanism. At that point there is no easy way to deal with them.

I understand. But there are people who are *Realtors* who ARE competent, VERY successful and KNOW what they’re talking about who do NOT possess a “degree.” It doesn’t take a degree to work in this field. It takes intimate (sometimes “esoteric”) knowledge of a “farm” area or areas, street smarts and EXPERIENCE.

Realty is not “rocket science.” A college degree is not necessary or even useful for a RE salesperson or broker job. Knowledge and experience are the only things that are useful.

it is easy to mix things up, even for a smart person…. I remember being in a mock trial in school. i played the defendant. the defendant worked for a company called “sellers and buyers real estate”.

In practice sessions, i kept messing up and getting it backwards, callling it ‘buyers and Sellers real estate”. my partner kept barking at me to get it right. sellers and buyers, not buyers and sellers. still, i kept screwing it up…Then, in the actual competition, the student lawyer for the other side asked me if i worked for “buyers and sellers real estate”. aha! I said “no”. this completely threw him off his game and you could see him starting to panic, like, what the f*ck do I do now?” Badgering me that i did actually work for buyers and sellers, pointing to the fact pattern, but I was just smug, kept with my “nope”…. He was asking the judge for help but no help was forthcoming. he got it backwards.

smart guy, too. this was all very formal, in a federal courthouse…funny…the details do matter in life; like getting the name or address correct……
