I'm pretty excited to be showing property in the rain this weekend. (I believe it's a good time in order to see what the water does on the property!) I was able to show lots of foreclosures including some that were "new construction". I was thrilled to write two contracts and then also put one of...

I've done a few short sales in the past 12 months and recently learned that a short sale gets reported on the sellers credit report as a foreclosure. So would someone explain to me the difference between a regular foreclosure and a short sale foreclosure.  I was speaking to a client just yesterda...
