		<description><![CDATA[Here is the first truth about short sales: there is no &#8220;one truth&#8221; about short sales.  If you ask 10 different agents about what it&#8217;s like to work short sales, you&#8217;ll probably get 10 different answers, which will be influenced by the agent&#8217;s personality and tenacity, the situation surrounding the short sale, the lender itself, [...]]]></description>
