If you are looking for a short sale or bank owned (REO) property in Brandon, FLorida or anywhere in the Greater Tampa area, you should use a real estate professional who uderstands this type of sale. Here are a few ways to find a qualified Realtor:
- Ask friends, family or anyone you know if they know someone who has gone through a short sale. A warm referral is the best type and gives you a comfortable basis for making the decision because they helped one of your friends.
- Call a real estate office close to the area you are looking or go to a local open house. The agents that work these areas tend to understand the micro-market and can give you better information on values and trends. Make sure you ask the agent if they have expeience in short sales.
- Search your area by using the internet and search by city or zip code. Most serious Realtors will have nice websites, blogs, and a full listing of available properties through their office. Look for an area that lists just short sales or foreclosures.
- Talk to a banker, accountant or other business professional and ask for a referral. Most business people know or work with Realtors frequently. They are usually visible in the community and would be interested in giving nice referrals to their Realtor friends.
The most important thing is to get a referral from someone you trust. Take your time and ask any questions that come to mind. A seriuos professional will take the time to answer your question or get the answer if they don't know.
As always, call or email me if you have any questions about Brandon, Florida, the Greater Tampa Bay area or real estate in general. Good luck home-hunting!
