Russell – I received this from another source last week – but man I just can not do these articles justice without your creative graphics.

I’m excited to see this, I can now offer buyers agents what they deserve for the stress of working a short sale, without a stipulation that their payday may be less than they bargained for.

Thanks, Russell, for posting the document link. I think this is a huge step toward moving more of the short sale inventory, as most buyer’s agents were avoiding these sales for fear of having their commission chopped.

This was inevitable. If Fannie/Freddie want access to the MLS, they had to stop conditional offers of cooperation. All MLS’s which operate under the NAR guidelines mandate unconditional offers of cooperation for the payment of commissions between brokers. All the listing broekrs which have gotten into bed with Fannie/Freddie(kinky, huh?) would have to pull their listings from MLS or go broke.

WOW Thanks for this information. We have a whole short sale department that works 10x as hard as a regular listing and gets 5% or less for it. This is great news!
