Call me sometime i would like to hear more of your storie. 952-405-2891

The redemption period is just ending in April. The keys are locked inside the house and they won't pay a locksmith to come in. Think that will hold up the process? I dont care about the inside I just want to bulldoze it anyway! I dont think I have ever wanted something so badly!!

Is this home still in the redemition period? Or is it bank owned, makes a bid difference. If it is still in the redemition period the owner can still come back and claim the home but must pay ALL back payments, bank fees ect. This dosnt happen very offten but it is there right to do so. That is why they call it the redemition period.

If the Redemption date is in the next month or so, this makes a lot of sense. The short sale and REO departments are often completely separate and don't share information or prospects between them.

It was Dual Agency but we were informed today that the bank wouldn't entertain any offers b/c they couldn't close it before the foreclosure date. Does this sound weird?

Are you working with your agent as a Buyers Rep. or does your agent represent the seller and you as a dual agent?

It takes typically 2 weeks to 2 months to have an house come back on the market. Your agent is not allowed to contact Countrywide directly due to issues of Agency and/or Realtor Code of Ethics. It is considered interference in an agency relationship (the listing agent and the seller) and there are also serious privacy issues that would prohibit Countrywide discussing it with anyone other than an authorized representative of the Seller.

Short sales are tough... I'd say only about 1 in 3 go through. You may have a lousy Realtor but I think it is more likely that the communication between you two is not as good as it should be.
