- Do not hire an agent who has never done a short sale. Interview agents who have done short sales before and… have gotten them approved! Most Agents hate them, they’re a lot of work and there’s no guarantee they’ll go through. If an agent wants to do your short sale, they genuinely want to help. Period!
- Do not let your property sit on the market 2 weeks without an offer! The bank will not even look at your file without an offer. If it’s been 30 days and you still don’t have an offer, this means you are not negotiating with the bank yet… and time is ticking.
- Do not sign with an agent that says “I can get you more money” the market is what it is. Getting more money for the property has very little to do with getting the short sale approved! We price your property where it needs to be according to the market and prove it to the bank; that this is where it needs to be!
- Do not try to “sell it yourself”! You’re wasting your time! You need a buyer and… try to negotiate the short sale. Just hire a professional. It’s a totally different ball game.
- Don’t wait until the last minute to hire a real estate agent to do a short sale. Short Sales can take 3-6 months and we need that time to try and get it done. Call us as soon as you get the “Notice of Default” or better yet, before you miss a payment.
- Do not procrastinate! Once you get a notice of default, find a solution quick. Let the professionals handle it. It’s less stressful if you hire an experienced short sale professional to handle this type of emergency.
You must find a buyer, that is where we can help!
