negotiating short sales: I’ll Take That Destin Short Sale for 20% Off! - 02/28/10 11:21 AM
 
$70,000 below asking price? 20% off? Those must be the magic numbers, because they are the types of offers I have been getting on some of my Destin Florida short sale listings.  For example and illustration, I have a Destin short home listed in at $420,000.  The two most recent comparable sales were $430,000 and $425,000.  The buyer’s agent presents me with an offer for $350,000. Hmmmm…  will the short sale lender accept $350,000?  I doubt it.

negotiating short sales: Would You Let a "Flipping" Investor Negotiate Your Short Sale? - 08/03/09 10:38 PM

 
 
I sent out a listing agreement a couple of weeks ago for a Destin Florida condo.  This was a Bank of America short sale, and no payments have been made for 9 months. I never received the listing paperwork back, so just wrote it off.
Today I got a call from “Clyde”,  who said he was a licensed real estate agent in the sellers' home state of Georgia and knew them personally.  He was helping the sellers with a short sale of their primary residence.

negotiating short sales: Short Sales: For Buyer's Agents - 03/12/08 05:18 PM
Are you the selling agent in a Short Sale market?  Arm yourself with information for a successful transaction: 
1.  Prepare your buyer by going over steps in Buying Short Sales. 
2.  Ask the listing agent if he has gathered the information necessary to submit the Short Sale package, including:  letter of authorization, financial statement, recent pay stub or last quarter profit and loss, recent bank statement, last year's tax returns, hardship letter, and payoff if more than one lender.  If the listing agent has not already done so, prepare the buyer for a longer wait.  I would also ask what the hardship is. If … (14 comments)
