I have seen a lot of people advertise "the deal of the century" and these are properties that new folks get ripped off by.

I do have a job with Century 21 lined up upon completing it as well.

., Kansas City: AMC, American Century, Cerner Corporation, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Garmin International, H&R Block, Hallmark Cards, Google, and on and on.

Neighborhoods that were the preferred hangout of crack dealers/users at the turn of the century (2000) were transformed into little hipster enclaves all over town in less than 10 years.Edit: additional thought on light rail.  

I'm not interested in being a sales agent for a company (such as century 21), but just want it for the education and access to the MLS etc...

I went from a Century 21 office, middle of the road brokerage and was kind of bluh with them.

I am a real estate Investor who has been a broker, owner/manager of a Century 21, Owned and sold over 15 homes, owned and managed a 12 story office building, owned and operated a 28 unit motel and 3 duplexes all in CA.

This we did in record time just before our daughter Charlotte arrived.The home was a three bedroom 1535 AD gamekeepers cottage which had undergone many renovations over the following five centuries.

The most extraordinary scientific breakthrough of the 20th century is the double helix DNA strand only takes 5 min to explain.

Jake,Thanks for the heads-up via PM about your post.Here are my thoughts:Most likely, the reason that the short sale was not approved is because it was a WAMU loan which was, as most know, bought out by Chase bank in one of the biggest "behind the scenes" sweetheart deals of this century.
