I always ask clients if they've put the word out to friends, family etc... especially when dealing with a home that has been in the family for decades. There is often someone the family knows who wants it.

What I usually suggest to clients is that we write those names (3 tops) in as exclusions to the listing agreement for 2weeks, and they should call them a couple days before it goes to MLS. That will help them make up their mind, fast... otherwise sometimes they will doddle for weeks. If those folks DO buy it, I have a set small fee to cover my expenses, and hopefully a buyers contract to help them buy a new home. Everyone wins

Default judgment!!!

I got a default judgment when the @$$hat didn't show. The Clerk recommended that I take a look at the check I wrote him and see where it was deposited, then go after the bank account.

Alas, the @$$hat was one step ahead of me, and cashed it at a check-cashing place.

Still, I know exactly what I'm going to do next. I'm not going to post about it right now, but I'll post about it after the fact. I won't have any updates on this for a few months.

I've had Jack personally served twice by the Champaign County Sheriff's Department.

My second court date was on Friday for my citation to discover assets. Jack failed to show again. Now I have requested a rule to show cause (or the judge issued it, not sure how exactly this works) holding him in contempt of court. If he fails to appear again (which is almost a certainty), he gets a bench warrant.

The Bloomington-Normal Association of Realtors seems completely disinterested in dealing with a REALTOR who repeatedly violates their code of conduct, is unethical, and commits fraud on his customers. They seem to just protect their own, no matter how bad.
