In a conversation this morning with my team member, we discussed a recent short sale transaction that closed last week. It was a real struggle with 2 loans, a charge-off sold to a collection agency, a judgment against the seller, not to mention I had to sell the home three times. But it's the att

Only once in my life, knock on wood, did I watch a seller get angry because the title company sent a mobile signer to her to sign closing papers. This particular seller could not come to the title company to sign. She was in the middle of moving, as many sellers are near closing, and was feeling

Now, see, Myrl might say what happens at a rock concert stays at a rock concert, as she does in her blog today about what happened last night at The Crest Theatre, and our jaunt over to The Dive Bar, not to mention a glorious dinner at Ella -- after a happening Chanel event at Macy's. However, I
