October 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Okay, been awhile since I posted, but better late than never. I recently completed a short sale on a Central Oregon home with G-Mac (for those of you who don’t know who I am referring to, you have to read beyond the dash). My client was looking to avoid foreclosure and the nasty potential deficiency [...]

Props to SunTrust Mortgage

Props to SunTrust Mortgage In all of the real estate short sale turmoil, I have to take a few minutes and rant (positively) about SunTrust mortgage.

This post was going to be about the US Treasury allocation of funds and then Wells Fargo asking for documents (documents they already received) and corrections to documents for a short sale. But instead, I’m going to focus on the short sales first, before I move on to the US Treasury (which, if the Treasury [...]
