This will be simple and to-the-point. Thank you Wells Fargo mortgage and listing agent Barbara for the quick turnaround for a short sale I've been involved with the last few weeks.

A couple of years ago, longtime friends gave me a key and alarm code to their house "just in case". Today I got a desperate call from that friend. She and her husband have two homes--one here in metro Atlanta and a new home at a resort outside the metro area. They'd just gotten a call that their ...
