Are you an agent here in Ca? Take it to the legal hot line. A call from the state RE attorney will wake them up!

Will, That is the complacency REO brokers can fall into. Their listing come by email, they jump through a few hoops, than wait for a "buyer" to call so they can double end it. I still say rattle a few cages. Why should the world sit back and have injustice handed to us, the consumer. In the words of a leader on 911. "Lets roll"
Take action, do not just sit back and go down with the [s], plane. I feel your pain.

I have a 22 year old son, teaching in Taiwan. We see and talk to him almost every day. At Christmas, we set the computer up by the tree, he watched all of his family open our presents and we watched him open the presents we sent over. We also got to see he broke into the candy before Christmas morning. It was as if he was here, and made for a memorable holiday, instead of the first Christmas he was away from the family. Now all we need are the cars that the Jetsons flew around in.

Jeff, In 03 and 04 Riverside was the easiest bank to get lot loans through. I used them many times, very simple and fast. Sad to see history being wiped out/rewritten.

Harrison,
Every offer has to be submitted to the seller. If you are not happy with the answers you get, take it to the next level. Excepting this, is not exceptable. It is only adding to the bad rap good Realtors have to deal with. REO agents are the worst, and greediest. The next level for them is the bank. Do you think they are happy offers are not being sent in.

Real Simple Nationwide~ Call the agents broker. By the agent not submitting the offer, the agent prevented the broker from making money. Regardles of how you want to categorize agents, employees, sub contractors, people that wast my toner, they did not follow through and cost the broker money. Rag hard on the broker, let him know what a lazy agent she is and how much time and money she cost you, ask if all his agents are like that, or do you have one that will complete the transaction. The broker is stressed out enough right now. He has all the bills, and would like to see production go up. If you take the time to talk direct, you will get results. My best production weeks happen when I fire an agent at the weekly office meeting. We do not hold their license for their pleasure, I hold it to make money.

It depends on your holding power, or your ability to BS. It is always best to have a buyers list if you are just starting out, find the house, and close the deal. What do you have to convince a seller to go under contract with you if you have to start fresh looking for the buyer. I feel the chicken came first. The real question is did Adam have a belly button??

The fact the neighbors came out is a good thing. Their is a good neighborhood watch program in place. But, their is a good neighborhood watch program in place, because there is a reason for someone to watch, everything, even a car driving down the street.
Walk from this one, their will be others, more than you can handle.
