My client and I are in the middle of a Eureka Funded short sale. It has many components that are familiar and some that are not. We are in the initial stage of having accepted an offer to purchaser from EFP, we are now entering the negotiation phase. The beauty of this program is that the bulk of the legwork is being handled by the processer and negotiator. My client and I are participants insofar as we need to provide documents, similar to regular transaction, but we are not burdened with the actual daylong negotiating inherent in dealing with the banks. We monitor the transaction from any location, in real time, via a web based CRM site. My client sleeps at night knowing we have the total comprehensive solution to the dilemna in which he found himself. Best of all, it costs us nothing! Clean, swift and inexpensive, so my client can get on with his life and family.
