Fast passes and eTickets do not exist in short sales

Do you remember the E ticket? Back in the day, when you went to Disneyland, you would purchase a ticket book that would provide you with tickets to access the rides and attractions. There were not too many E tickets in the book. The E ticket was the one that could get you into the very best rides like the Matterhorn Bobsled and It’s a Small World. Disneyland moved away from the tickets many moons ago, but now they offer a Fast Pass that allows you to jump to the front for certain rides.

One of my clients sent me an email the other day with a link to a site he had found that teaches you all of the short sale loopholes—a link to a site that apparently sells a Fast Pass or E ticket for obtaining short sale approval.

There are so many products on the Internet that claim to aid in the short sale negotiations. But, this one caught my attention. I clicked on the link and went to the site, and watched a ten to twelve minute commercial for a product that purports to tell you how to beat the Bank of America Equator system, how to get short sale approval in 60 days, and how to get your short sale in front of the decision makers. I’m not sure how much this particular product costs, but I can tell you one thing for certain. I already know the top-secret method for getting short sale approval in 60 days from Bank of America, and I am going to tell you the secret right now so that you do not have to pay any money to anyone else.

Top Secret Instructions for Obtaining Short Sale Approval

The secret has two parts. The first is hard work, tenacity, and diligence. The second part of the secret is in the details. If you do exactly what you are asked through the Equator system in the messages and you do it immediately when you are asked, you save lots of time and get your approval more efficiently. You need to be quick and efficient and you need to demand them same from those on the other side of the Equator computer screen. And, if you have trouble with the system, you need to use the system and its messaging capabilities in order to send emails to executives within the team for your specific short sales.

In these tough and challenging economic times, there is always someone out there who wants to make a buck. While there are quite likely a number of really great products available, in the short sale arena, there is one thing that is certain. The only way to be successful is through hard work. No product can replace hard work, and there is no such thing as a Fast Pass or E ticket for the wild ride we are on right now. And, by the way, this wild ride is not in Fantasyland.
