Quote from @Jonathan Grzeszczyk: David Greene has a series (Sold, Skilled, Scale) that teaches agents how to run their business like a business.

House comps recent solds $555,000 up the road for 1400 sf house.

The loan can be sold on the secondary market at any time, or loan servicer switched or new sub-servicer taking over, insurance dropped, etc.

When all the dust settles, and the  person searching is tired and discouraged and gives up, Jerry may not have bought  a single lot, but he's made some money from the training he sold you, which was his main goal from the beginning!

They are not going to like living in a house that is going to be sold. 

Comps solid $410K - $555K (newest) in the area (comps are 1400sf to 1700 sf) and several along this creek sold for above asking price recently.

Then I started to contact brokers that bought and sold Apartments complexes and proceeded to 1031 exchange all my Condos for Apartment complexes and told my story on BP Podcast 238 in 2017.  

And if they couldn't afford it, they should have sold, moved to what they could afford. 

In my area the seller would normally just sign the release unless they just don't want to sell the property as this would tie up the property where it couldn't be sold to someone else, but I don't see how the broker can force the seller to sign the release.  

We never sold a single property.
