Hey I feel for you. But would you expect a stock broker to cut their commissions on a sale because it was a loss?
I am curious why such a big loss. Do you feel it has anything to do with the "housing bubble"? Or a new political climate in town? or what?
In any event, I took a $38k hickie on my first townhome back in the early 90's and also a $20k hit on a small warehouse around that same time. I know the feeling. It sucks. I think real estate works out better if you are lucky enough to inherit some!
