"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people say or think or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a business or a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. WE cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. WE cannot change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude… I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are all in charge of our attitudes”.

Well, Here in AZ you have a 10 day inspection period to inspect the home, This concludes with the submission of a request for repairs.
Once the request is submitted the seller has 5 days to respond, they can either say yes we will fix everything, no we wont fix anything or here is what we will fix.
Buyer has 3 days to respond.
Now here is teh thing, No response is a response, the response is we are not doing anything, this agent is attempting to confuse the situation because her missed his time lines, he didn't read the contract and misrepresented his client.
This agent was operating outside his area of expertise and cost his client.
the client will never know anything but that they lost their earnest money buying a REO form a big bad uncaring bank, nothing about the fact that he missed his dates.
Oh his best answer when i was attempting to talk to him was that "I'm a broker",
I'm a citizen of this great country but that doesn't make me a good candidate for President.

I dont care who you are....this is funny!
A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client.
He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to a parcel of property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back to 1803, which took the Lawyer three months to track down. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply:
"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title. While we compliment the able manner in which you have prepared and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin."
Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows:
"Your letter regarding title in Case No. 189156 has been received. I note that you wish to have title extended further than the 194 years covered by the present application. I was unaware that any educated person in this country, particularly those working in the property area, would not know that Louisiana was purchased, by the U.S., from France in 1803, the year of origin identified in our application. For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from Spain. The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Isabella. The good queen, Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus' expedition. Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God,it is commonly accepted, created this world. Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana.
God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back, to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it AND the FHA. I hope you find God's original claim to be satisfactory. Now, may we have our loan?"
The loan was approved.

I reported the theft and activity to the police and then i called my bank that the charge was on, I wanted to find out who the item was shipped to so i could pass that information to the police.
Imagine my surprise when i was told by the bank that they would not release this information to me due to privacy concerns for the THIEF.
I was so shocked that i could not
respond, The theif has rights and I, the person who was stolen from has none.
Funny where this world has gone to.

HAFA posts and short sale update posts are being put forth in front of the consumers and homeowners ALL over the internet, there are short sale posts right here on Active Rain that are being Featured that are wrong, not factual and whatever else you may wish to say about them. This is not the fault of those who are featuring the posts because they don't know about short sales and don't sell short sales. It is the fault of the bloggers who take it upon themselves to write posts before checking their facts.
It is one thing to write your opinion but quite another to write a post about short sales that is only one's opinion but not disclosing that.
The reason this is so important is because you have desperate homeowners who are looking on the internet for help, for some resolve to their problems. Most of them do not have the money to hire an attorney and so they turn to the next most obvious place- real estate blogs.
Please check your facts before you post about HAFA, about short sales, about how short sales are going to work and so on and so forth. It is after all, the right thing to do. Take the high road when blogging about short sales.
When I write about short sales and as I work through helping you to understand the 43 page document and forms of the HAFA guidelines I will let you know what is fact and what is my opinion. Our opinions are based on our intense experience in closing short sales and discussing particulars with negotiators at the lenders, the lenders, the servicers, the VPs and so on at different lenders and servicers.
We are writing the series of what the new short sale program called HAFA that the US department of Treasury rolled out is all about and who it refers to-
Read our post here about the overview of the HAFA program.
Read our post here about breaking down the first page of the HAFA guidelines.
Please read the HAFA guidelines and get your questions answered before writing about the guidelines. I know many bloggers want to get the Google juice for the HAFA guidelines and so bloggers will just write a quick post without checking the facts, they do so based on hear say from other bloggers or what their broker may have told them.
But what happens if an agent who blogs gets a call from a homeowner who needs help and has questions about the post they wrote and the post is full of misinformation?
Think about it.
