    Last time I checked, the flag of the United States was red, white and blue and even has some stripes. Perhaps this is an opportunity to file a class action suit against Re/Max on behalf of every United States citizen? Tina Merritt tinamerritt.info

    "Under a strict interpretation of the FTC's rule now in effect, you'd be required to fill out a confusion-producing disclosure and give it to the seller before even picking up the phone to talk with the lender or servicer." The problem with too many of these transactions is that the agent just assumes that the seller would want to do a short sale and a short sale is in their best financial interest. Depending on the state, county, municipality, etc. guidelines, there may be instances where a short sale is not in their best interests. Only a qualified attorney and accountant can advise properly in these situations; not a real estate agent who took a quickie short sale class online.
