Continue Reading →Negotiating short sales during the holidays can be tough. I have an auction occuring on Friday on a Scottsdale short sale Im negotiating and normally it wouldnt be an issue.

When negotiating short sales you expect little things to come along. These days it tends to be the bank’s short sale negotiators. Most banks give their short sale negotiators 30 [...]

Continue Reading →I went to a Scottsdale Association of Realtors class yesterday. I will have to admit that I didn’t find the class all that interesting or useful until the very end. At the end, a man went up to the front and spoke about being a successful realtor for a number of years. This man was very joyful and [...]
