Just want to warn you all to be careful, don't let yourself get caught like I did. I had a short sale that they accepted that I took an advance from Doug Mandeville, of Commission Express operating here out of Illinois. I did not take out the whole amount of the commission due me, about 1/3. I kept CE up to date as to the status, interest in the property, approvals, holdups etc. Well, one buyer said they would take the property occupied and pay the second the $5,000 more they wanted the the first lien holder was allowing to them on the hud. Long story, the buyer reneged, but I told them I could have 16 offers on this hot property in a few days. I kept in communication with him as to the status of the deal. My outrage is not that he wanted to or expected to be paid back, but that with all of our communication, and me even sending him all the qualifications of the new offer, that he took every cent of a short sale that I had been working on since August 2012, when he was pretending to wait for the one which I had signed up with them. Never mentioned anything, when I called him, sent him the contract, emailed him. My first clue not getting a commission check. Now he doesn't answer his phone. I am in a big bind.
