We hear it in the marketplace, we see it on blogs...it appears in the internet...it's an attitude that breeds defeat. It is the lowering of a voice as if it matches the lowering of the price...."Oh...it's a short sale," comments the selling agent...as if somehow that makes it less worthy of an open house, a blog, an e-mail campaign....

We know that Wendy Rulnick knows better...
Pacita Dimacli opens the doors to outstanding open houses
Elizabeth Weintraub is happy to give us a tour
Know that if you have been entrusted with the listing of a short sale....you have an awesome responsibility to the sellers, the market...to the profession and your reputation....if you don't put your heart in it, have a marketing plan to meet the demands of the market....aren't honored to be chosen to list it....refer it to someone who knows how very special it is to list a short sale. If you are a seller and all the listing agent has done is put a sign in the yard and a listing on MLS with no marketing plan or promotion to the area...demand action....it's your responsibiity to choose an agent with successful experience.
Sally, good point...I think many agents today just stick something in MLS and see what happens...
