Thanks to some for answering my question.

Is dirthead always such an AHole?

This wasn’t meant to be an indictment on my decisions, I wanted to know about what is going on in the lending area with people like me.

Ahhh, I forgot that by admitting to a short sale, I was showing myself to some posters as an idiot. Sorry for forgetting that!

I bought in 2003 (halfway up the price rises), and thought it was going to be a starter home, one to live in for a few years, and then upgrade when we had kids. Well, the kids came along, but the market crashed. For several reasons, we decided to get rid of the house. It was a strategic move on our part, as there was no way the house was going to sell for a profit in the next 10-15 years.

So, now we are capable of buying again. To me it looks like the market is about near its lowest, maybe another year or so more still. I don’t mind renting a house, actually like not worrying about fixing things. BUT, my wife likes the idea of owning, and in the end, so do I.

So, my question to the pros here (even the jerks with opinions most don’t like to hear), is: Are short-sellers getting back in the market, and what are some of their experiences?

Why do you say that?

So, we just sold our home as a short sale through Battiata. We listed in early November, got bank approval in late January, and closed March 8th. Pretty fast!

Like some people here warned, Battiata’s team was out of touch and weird to deal with. Their experience dealing with short sales is the reason to go with them. They know how to deal with the banks.

I asked the buyers agent how it was dealing with them, and the agent admitted it was not easy at first.

I would recommend them to anyone selling a house that is underwater. I would not recommend them if you are the type that needs your hand held the whole way. You must be proactive with them. When we are ready to buy in a few years, I will definately look for another agent.

Thanks for all your help!
