Short Sales to Be Fast Tracked After April 5th Buyers to want a deal on a Short Sale should mark April 5, 2010 in their calendars.  On that date the federal government will fast track the short sale process and buyers can expect to get quicker answers to their offers to buy a distressed property where owners are working with their lender on a "short sale" Gone are the days where a seller offereing to sell their home for less than the amount owed on the mortgage had to wait for months to find out if a buyers offer, for less than the list price, would be accepted by their lender.  Buyers just could not wait this long and the uncertainty made the process very cumbersome.  Some lenders never gave a response and others reponded with unreasonable counter offers. On April 5th the federal gover... 03/24/2010

She's Back: Wanda Is Cruising The Neighborhood Wanda is back in the neighborhood and she is a real turkey.  That's right, a real American turkey.  Wanda walks the neighborhoods off Henderson Mill Road and Evansdale Road looking for a mate every spring.  If you have seen her in your neighborhood, drop a comment in below with the sighting location. I confess to naming Wanda as a show of respect to her instincts for "wandering" around.  This is truly an urban bird. Did you know Wanda's ancestor was the runner up in the contest to name a national bird.  The bald eagle was almost knocked off by the American turkey.  Thomas Jefferson proposed the American Turkey be named the national bird.  Wanda, you were almost somebody!!!!     02/26/2010
