I bought the book and read it; then called Elizabeth to list our home since she was such an 'expert'. She was out of our local area but didn't hesitate to make the appointment to list our property - all smiles and bend over backwards. She proceeded to price our property poorly and advertise her book in our local MLS! When we had questions was more push and shove than sugar once we'd signed the listing. We were disappointed and felt like we were a number, not to mention receiving one-sided, snippy emails. We cancelled our listing; and she made no effort to find out why we were unhappy; even asked us to pay to mail the sign back which was put up AFTER we'd cancelled.

I'd say the book contains no more in depth info than you can learn through a good (and free) Google-ing of "short sale", "foreclosure", and "credit report". There wasn't much (or any, if memory serves?) written about what seems the most important caveat this year to potential short sellers: the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2012...

Our conclusion is the book was a jolly good marketing ploy and we are grateful for Amazon's return policy.

Short Sale Savior will give you some good hints.....

Elizabeth Weintraub writes with flair and a hint of humor so her book isn't boring. If you're in an area where foreclosures are threatening more and more homeowners, you'll like this book. I have turned down page 119 where Ms Weintraub gives a list of items required to document and ask for a short sale. She admits it takes a long time to get it all worked out but she gives us a way to start and follows us through to the end. I'll have this list handy if I have to do a short sale. She also gives lots of interesting examples of real life short sale cases. I recommend this book for all real estate agents.

Best book on "short-sales" around

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2009

Verified Purchase

Although I have been a Realtor for 27 years, I had many more questions about why "short sales" are so different now than they have been in the past. I couldn't understand why banks would make the decisions they did regarding them, or would appear to sit on offers and not readily respond. Elizabeth Weintraub's fantastic book, "The Short Sale Savior" not only addressed each of my questions - but answered them too! This book is a must read for real estate professionals, as well as home buyers and sellers of short-sale properties too!

Best book on short sales.

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is the best book I've read on short sales. It was written to help sellers but, as a potential buyer, it shows that buying a short sale is no easy matter. It is not a "get rich quick" book. Rather it explains how complicated the short sale process can be and how there is no clear process that is followed. If you are thinking of buying a short sale, read this book.

Elizabeth Weintraub on short sales is a must read...

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2009

Need expert guidance about turning an upside-down mortgage right side up? This is the book for you. Elizabeth is witty, direct and to the point about the many challenges a home-owner (and buyer) may face when exploring the short sale option. Although real estate is serious business, you may find yourself laughing out loud when you least expect it. I know I did. A definite must read...

Call a realtor

First of all, all the other reviews must have been written by her friends. I have been a real estate agent for 35 years and the best advice she gives is "find a realtor who's done short sales before". The short list on page 119 could be obtained from the lender or anyone in the business. Don't waste your money on this
dribble.

Not Very Useful

Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2012

First, I want to address these reviews. Wow. The most negative and the most positive came from two people who have never reviewed any other book here at Amazon. That ought to tell you something right there. I completely disregarded both of those "reviews."

The information in this book, although not new, may be helpful to some and it's obvious the lady knows what she's talking about. The problem is she should stick to talking. Writing is definitely not her forte. Honestly, how she got published is a mystery. I found myself wanting to throw the book at the wall several times and I probably would have had I not felt she has something of value to offer. So, I kept plodding along. Should've thrown it.

Did I find the info valuable? Not especially, although that's not her fault. Most short sale information, especially what she writes about, can be had with a few clicks of a mouse on the Internet.

Although I have great respect for the woman's (I can't bring myself to call her an author) experience in the real estate business, I can't recommend this book. Don't waste your money.
