[quote=sdrealtor]Some people are angry when they short sale and leave places in poor condition. That has not been my experience as I dont work with a$%^holes. I only work with people I like on short sales who I think need and deserve some help.[/quote]

so you never represent buyers of short sales? what can you do if a short sale property purchased by a buyer is trashed?

haha, hit the nail right on the head. contractors are like teenagers that never grew up. they do need constant and close supervision. and if you end up with a new house on 1/2 acre of dirt, that’s a whole lot of supervision.[/quote]

That’s why you pay the big bucks to the General Contractor. His job is to supervise.

If you contract to typical workers, then you have to do the designing, conceptualization and supervising yourself.

I find that cheap price does not mean bad work, but the cheaper the price, the more the supervision required. It’s part of sweat equity.

I believe that’s true in any field. Well-paid professionals will do better work and require less supervision. The question is: what’s your budget?[/quote]

The big problem with contractors is this is a field with very low barrier of entry. Therefore, competition is fierce, and the quality in general poor. I was actually referring to General Contractors. They too need a lot of supervision. I don’t dare get into sub-contractor level, they are more like toddlers.

a relative recently purchased a short sale in OC. the former owners ended up leaving the place in an absolute mess with the pool turned green. nothing structural, just bunch of left over trash and badly stained carpet that was going to get removed anyway.

is this common with short sales? I thought ppl only did this type of stuff with foreclosures.

[quote=familyguy]I agree Dave, probably has a lot to do with time and budget as well. Not everyone has the time to oversee and major remodel or the budget to undertake a big landscaping project.[/quote]
