I don't normally post complaints but I have had about enough of this lender and their shenanigans and I am hoping that this post will reach someone who might give a darn.   I have been working on a HAFA Short Sale with Flagstar since February 2011.  Flagstar is THE WORST BANK on the planet to deal with.  THEY ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH HAFA TIMELINES and don't seem to care at all.  Standard response from anyone that answers the phone - the file is in review and if we pull the file you will loose your place in line in the "que" and you will be starting all over again. I have been calling 3 times a week or more since February 2011 and so have the sellers.  It is the same story everytime.   I realize that lenders are receiving thousands of short sale requests and don't have time to speak t... 10/10/2011

Took this photo of a huge spider that is at the door way to my home office.  This guy is very scary and I believe him to be a Banana Spider.  What do you think my Venice Florida Realtor and friend, Jim Bath?  He also just found himself some breakfast.  This is fasinating as well as I wish he move to someone else's yard. Do you know what kind of spider this is? 09/24/2011

Renewed trust for tough times Does it feel like trust is one of the major casualties of the economic meltdown of 2008 – followed by the “Great Recession,” the “Jobless Recovery” and now the threat of a “Double Dip Recession?” Weren’t we assured that home values were destined to go up and up and up? There have been lots of promises that help is on the way—and lots of warnings of scams and schemes that have only served to confuse the matter. So where’s a homeowner who’s underwater or overleveraged to turn? Here’s the bottom line: the choices that homeowners make when they feel they are at the end of their rope will have ramifications for years to come on their ability to qualify for credit, their job prospects, their security clearance and their overall finances. When a family’s financial... 09/07/2011
