If you have not downloaded my latest report on the 7 Deadly Sins of Short Sales, stop right now and make sure you download immediately and READ it in its entirety! I will save your short sale life.
This post is an excerpt from my report and identifies the sin that is the no.1 killer of short sales in the nation: Not managing the BPO/Appraisal appointment. This is a huge and grossly neglected area in the vast majority of short sales, and I can’t begin to stress how critically important it is that you DO NOT COMMIT THIS SIN.

This short sale SIN is the leading cause of death for 77% of the nation’s short sales, (according to the Huffington Post 77% of the nations short sales are failing), so listen up good.

If you know the truth about your loss mitigator you will understand how they operate, why they operate they operate the way they do, and most importantly, use this understanding close a higher percentage of your deals. So lets get to work!

Hey this is Aubrey Kipp, and I want to personally thank you for visiting my blog. So, here’s the bottom line. The country is in economic turmoil, the financial markets are in a frenzy, millions of homeowners are facing foreclosure and you and I have 2 choices.
What are they…?
Choice #1. Do Nothing.
We can take the low road and make excuses, point fingers and ultimately do nothing. If this is you mantra this blog may not be for you. Most Realtors have already made this decision.
