With their article entitled The Roller Coaster Ride Called a Short Sale, the NY Times has examined the phenomenon’s arrival in Manhattan. Of course, I posted Short Sales Have Come to New York City in March of 2009. That is when I referred one of the first ever in Manhattan to my esteemed colleague, Eileen Hsu of Prudential Douglas Elliman. Eileen brokered the deal very well and it closed successfully, which came as no surprise because she is a fantastic agent. It doesn’t surprise me that the short sale is now in the news. The thing is, it isn’t new news. Eileen and I know that very well.
