The title "short sale negotiator" is a bit limited in capturing the full scope of what people like me offer. A short sale negotiator does so much more than, well, negotiate short sales! Two different levels of service often are available, tailored to your requirements and strengths.
If you prefer to handle the negotiations but tend to get bogged down in the red tape that goes with dealing in short sales and foreclosures, a savvy short sale negotiator often provides a paperwork collection and submission service. For a fee (ours is $350), we will contact the seller on your behalf, collect all of the required paperwork for the short sale package that goes to the lender and submit it, verifying that the paperwork has been received and is all in order. We'll also track down the name of the lender's loss mitigation representative, snagging their direct line if at all possible (as having an actual contact person with an actual phone number is much more beneficial to you and the seller than just contacting the bank's "short sale department"), and we forward this info to you. Lastly, we'll set you up with a reminder service that lets you know at what points in the process that follow-up calls need to be made to the lender. You handle the negotiations, and we'll help you work through the bureaucracy.
We also offer a level of service that provides all of the same helpful aspects of our paperwork collection and submission service, plus we'll handle the follow-up calls and negotiations on your behalf. Put another way: while the paperwork collection and submission service dots all of the I's and crosses some of the T's, our full service option dots all of the I's, crosses all of the T's, and even makes sure those X's are crossed, as necessary.
The short sale process can be a tricky one even to an agent experienced in handling such transactions, but if you let a seasoned short sale negotiator take care of the formalities, your chances for success and increased revenue can be markedly improved!
