Flashback Friday… Get Out of Your Mortgage for FREE?
- Image by cobalt123 via Flickr
Don’t expect it to actually happen… I wrote about this phenomena a year ago, and there are still lots of practitioners claiming it can be done. They all say that they have done it, but I have been able to find no verified cases where the mortgage was set aside by one of these operations… Delayed, perhaps… but not set aside.
The bottom line is that it could happen… could. BUT, it is WAY more likely that you will spend thousands of dollars on legal fees, and be strung along for months and months… or even years, and then end up in worse straights than when you started.
The line sounds great, and to a non-legally trained mind like mine, it seems logical. But, my industry friends tell me that it just isn’t realistic in the real world.

… or maybe not so much.
Have you ever listened to the radio and heard the tagline, “the biggest no-brainer in the history of Earth”? I sure have… over and over. About half of the time I am saying things my kids shouldn’t hear by the time the commercial is over.
The ‘announcer’ starts by proclaiming something obvious, then he tries to connect it to his business model… But, it isn’t always a good connection, and certainly seldom as slam-dunk as it should be to be the biggest no-brainer in the history of Earth.”
Take a look at the original post and let me know what you think…

Last year I wrote a post about a “power agent” I met here in the Atlanta area and a guy I knew in college, decades ago. Unknown to each of them, they had exactly the same M.O. for their ‘business’. Although, their ‘businesses’ were quite different and they might not recognize the other as doing the same thing… they were.
How can a dirt bag trolling bars for girls with low morals be similar to a successful real estate agent that lists hundreds of homes each year? The short version was that they played a ‘numbers game’. They didn’t care about a relationship or delivering what the other person needed, just getting what they wanted.
Take a look…

I had to go there… I have a few pet peeves, and one of them (maybe more than one) revolves around the language that real estate agents use when talking about what we do.

I have a reputation for swimming against the tide. I kind of like it. Just when someone thinks I am on their side politically, they find out that I’m not always on that side…
