I've been working with a client for a while on his loan modification.  After several modification package submittals and many phone calls, my seller receives a letter stating that the seller's modification was denied due to their monthly income. Mind you, when my seller applied, he was the only one working and there was definitely a financial hardship.  Plus he had mounting medical bills from a family member's medical care.  Anyway, they send the denial letter one day and then the very next day, they send the Foreclosure Letter.  What is going on?? I ask.  He contacted me on a Monday and the home was suppose to be foreclosed on that Tuesday.  I immediately tell him to get back on the phone with the servicing company and demand to speak with a supervisor.  Of course he gets the runaround... 08/03/2009

I am a discount Realtor here in Dallas and was wondering thoughts on why exactly a listing agent deserves as much as a buying agent.  What tangible things to listing agents do that deserve this extra percentage?  Print advertisement to me is not a tangible or effective medium.  My basic opinion as a newbie is that if the house is listed on the MLS with nice pictures and description and is priced right for the area it will sell.   99% of the time it will be shown by another agent and as long as they get their 3% they should be happy.  As for listing honestly it take maybe six maybe 12 hours total to research, meet, take pictures, list online and also on google yahoo and other sites,  possibly send some blast emails out and then answering phone calls, which not many folks call directly fr... 04/17/2009
