Have dealt with them on few foreclosures, not a pleasant experience.

One took over 7 months to get them to respond.  Lot of dealing with people in India who may or may not have understood the language. 

They never followed the rules, yet expected us to.

We paid less than a third of the assessed value of the home, yet still wondered if we paid too much when we figured in all the time and frustration.

My agent wanted to walk away, but I kept sending letters to ocwen asking if they were serious about selling.  Each month when I sent one it generated a surge of activity, then dead silence until the next one.

If the price is low enough, like 10%, then go for it, otherwise move on to another deal.

Yes, just did in February and have done so many times in the past 3 years, they are newer on the scene here.

They are organized, very typical and work with you on their terms. Just be patient, they book meetings weeks a part, but that buys you time as they postpone NOS each time. I had a listing in Jan with an NOD on it, we got it sold in time.

Like every short sale.

Tedious, treacherous and lacking integrity.

Depending on the bank, be aware,  even with a signed negotiated purchase agreement, they can still put the property on auction for the stated purpose to verify value, but WILL be sold to the highest bidder. The purchase contract means NOTHING.

If a second investor is involved, start there. Beneficial Finance would rather the house return to rubble than negotiate a deal. Just a heads up.

Oh yes, many times.  Thankfully not for about 6 years now as short sales have pretty much vanished from our market.  But they were awful.  There weren't too many banks or processors that were good to work with come to think of it.  It's the Loss Mitigation Department for the banks so they don't invest money into staffing or training as the department is in the business of losing money. So you get a high turn over rate with people who don't really know what they are doing nor really care.  I'm so glad I don't have to do short sales any more.
