Reasons to NOT work a short sale yourself!
1.You must have a Buyer to begin a Short Sale with the Lender. Let us do the leg work of preparing the short sale paperwork while you work to find a buyer!
2.Short Sales take a lot time to manage. You risk losing your buyer because buyers want to buy NOW! We will have everything possible prepared ahead of time so that when you find a buyer we can close the transaction in the shortest amount of time.
3.Short Sales take a lot of time and effort. To be a successful Real Estate Agent, you must list and market properties, find sellers, and find buyers. You get to focus on that while we focus on the short sale.
4.The Lender will many times offer to pay less on all fees involved in a transaction, including your commission. You deserve your full commission for the work you do so we will work hard to get you your full commission.
5.You’re not a professional loss mitigator…You’re a professional Real Estate Agent. Our short sale experts have years of experience in the banking industry and understand how the loss mitigation process works.
6.Our short sale experts are continually developing relationships with the Lenders which will help expedite the Short Sale process.
7.A Short Sale requires paperwork that is outside of your normal board forms. We already know what each Lender requires and provide it to them ahead of time to streamline the Short Sale process. Our short sale experts are also equipped with software tailored to organizing and monitoring the short sale process.
8.A Short Sale requires hand-holding the client, keeping the Seller up to date on the progress of the Short Sale and managing their expectations. Your time is better spent finding your next Seller/Buyer or marketing the property.
9.Short Sales take your focus from what you know you need to do in order to be a successful Real Estate Agent in this market.
The biggest reason to not work a short sale yourself is that ONLY Attorneys and Brokers are legally able to negotiate a short sale outside of company’s like ours that are registered and bonded with the State of Indiana Attorney General’s office…..
