NO, NO, NO. The unfair part is that a third party is trying to dictate a separate contract between two other parties.So the bank is taking a loss in the tens or hundreds of thousands, the companies who bought the repackaged loans are taking a loss (and spreading it through the stock market), the homeowner is taking a loss and losing their home, the taxpayers are forking over billions to clean up the mess and writing checks to everyone involved along with ponying up an $8k tax credit, millions of Americans are unemployed and homeless, but the unfair part of it is that realtors should be able to charge more than a 6% commission on a short sale?
Sorry, no sympathy here.
By the way, Realtors have taken a huge hit as sales halted, prices decreased, and now on the short sales which require the most work, the bank which has no signature on the contract between a seller and a Realtor, is trying to dictate what is happening outside of its authority. There is your problem.
