I put an offer on a short sale home in April 2010, signed contract and gave $1,000 deposit. While awaiting response from bank, the realtor rented the home and subsequently was damaged. The realtor told me he was going to rent in May 2010 and not collect money, but have the renters make repairs. However, rent was collected and the home is missing appliances and needs many costly repairs when I flew doen to see the home in October 2010. Can the realtor rent after a signed contract? Just wondering…I plan to file as many complaints with this realtor as I can. This occured in Leesburg, FL

my peers are 100% correct; what seems grossly unfair to you is not relevant. There is a huge difference between unfair and
illegal. IT is not illegal.

find a BUYER"s agent; never ever use a seller’s agent to
help you do anything.

[dual agents [seller agent also rep'ing the buyer] are not permitted by law, [most all people do not
know this] to negotiate a good price for a buyer]

i plan to list my condo in florida for a short sale…contacted a realtor and he wants to charge me a $249 "short sale processing fee" at closing…i was under the impression that the bank paid for all the fees.

Please and thank you.

You should call the local real estate board as well as the real estate broker this real estate agent work for to find out if this is a common practice in your area for real estate agents to charge a Short Sale Processing Fee.

It appears as if it is another way to add fees to get additional funds or fees in to the real estate agent’s pockets.

Normally the lender would want the condo listed for sale by a real estate agent prior to you applying for a short sale. Also the lender would want you to have the assistance of a real estate in completing the short sale packet.

I have never heard of a short sale processing fee. The real estate agent would get a commission once the property is sold.

I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

With a deed in lieu, many falsely believe that a deficiency judgment will be waived and that a lender will accept a deed in lieu instead of foreclosing on a property. This is not always the case, which is why Short Sale could be a better option if you are facing foreclosure.
