Northern Liberties Short Sale Success
We can do another Philadelphia Short Sale victory dance! Our client's condo went to settlement after several months working with Wells Fargo tediously to get the short sale approved. Like any other short sale, we had to send the same information multiple times through the Equator system, almost had a heart attack or two as certain tasks need to be completed within an hour or two or "short sale will be closed" and even had to deal with Wells Fargo sending their money back after settlement because one hand did not talk to the right.
Long story short, it got done. Our client was
thrilled with the outcome and it was a pleasure working with a great buyers agent as her buyers were patient. Often times, you have to sell the short sale property a few times as buyer agents do not communicate well to their buyers about the short sale process.
In doing a Philadelphia short sale, it is imperative that the seller hire the right agent who has both the experience in completing short sales and the resources to get the job done. And remember, one more short sale is one less foreclosure!
If you need to do a short sale in Philadelphia, contact us so we all can do the Philly short sale victory dance together!

The PaperMill & Karyn Vetter
| Papermill Artists Studios in Kensington |
If you follow the steel path (aka the El) to Kensington, It is easy to forget or be forgotten. But if you see the Kensington skyline From this vantage point, You'll remember.
There is a community of Artists here, And a place to exhibit their ideas; A venue in which they can perform. They have creative spaces, And an environment for inspiration.
The PaperMill is located at 2825 Ormes Street, Philadelphia, PA 19134 in Kensington.
The PaperMill is a community of artists collaborating under one roof in Kensington with tenants that vary from a wide variety of mediums and talents. Papermill tenants have much to offer and are always looking for new ways to influence the community.
The PaperMill manager/owner Karyn Helmar Vetter gave me the grand tour of the studios. She is a fabulous and amazing woman that I greatly admire. Karyn's vision and goal is for each of the PaperMill Community of Artist members to volunteer to teach the Kensington neighbors art classes, as part of their membership.
