She mentioned short selling a customer’s property. The sellers were two doctors that had to take a promissory note. The sale was for $900k, so the loss must have been above average.

In this case, her customer’s were ok with a promissory note. But, what if you want to short sale and walk away from the upside down debt?
What can you to do short sell your home without a promissory note? Negotiating short sales on more expensive homes is different than your average short sale.
The most common loan types that will give you a complete release are Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and VA. Most of them won’t loan on a mortgage over $417,000.
There are a few exceptions, but that is the general rule. If your mortgage amount is more than $417,000, then your loan is probably owned by the bank you originally got it from, or it has been securitized.
Many of these loan owners will not grant a release. You will have to use other methods. First, you can tell them that you are broke. If that is true, then they may let you off without much ado.
If you have assets, then you will need to use different tactics. You can hire someone to do a “Loan Audit.” This is where they go thru your loan file and search for any violations of lending laws.
Maybe they didn’t give you the proper federally required mortgage disclosures. Maybe the mortgage broker or lending company wasn’t properly licensed. A loan audit will often help your case.
But, it isn’t an “end all, be all”. I’ve seen people promote it as that. Another thing you can do is hire a good attorney. You will want to deal with someone who is a consumer advocate.
They will know how to use the law to negotiate from a position of power on your short sale. In my opinion, the best way to is to hire a lawyer in this case on a contingency.
Tell the lawyer, "I will pay you X when you get me what I want." Some people think lawyers drag cases on just to earn more money. Using a payment arrangement like this will help you avoid that.
However, the most important thing you can do is to hire an experienced short sale agent. Ask them if they have negotiated any short sales where the lender asked for a promissory note.
Then, ask them what they did to negotiate away the promissory note. The good short sale agents will usually know a good attorney. They may have experience dealing with your bank.
Bottom line: They are the person who can point you in the right direction so you can short sale and walk away with a complete release from the debt. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice
Rick & Robin Lemmons, Coldwell Banker King Thompson, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorsed by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?
Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.
However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.
We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.
This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.
You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
