We all know that selling a home, any home, can be a daunting task.  There is a reason why many home sellers who try to sell by themselves eventually end up listing their home with a REALTOR®.  The process can be even more complicated, stressful and stormy if you are trying to sell your home as a Short Sale.  Who do you have on your side, working to create a break in the storm clouds for you?

Choosing to work with a REALTOR® who is an experienced Short Sale Specialist can make all the difference.  Coordinating with your Mortgage Company(s), the Buyers and/or their agent, and working on YOUR behalf to make sure that you walk away from the closing in the best possible position to get your life and finances back on track as quickly as possible are the reasons that you want a specialist helping you.

Distressed home sales, such as Short Sales, tend to attract an element of unethical people who may try to prey on the misfortunes of the financially distressed home owner.  They can be quite convincing and persuasive.   When speaking to anyone who wants to help you with a transaction to solve your real estate related problems, ask them two simple questions:

1. Are you a REALTOR®?  (Remember, only agents who a members of the National Association of REALTORS® are bound by their extensive Code of Ethics.)
2. Are you an experienced Short Sale or Distressed Property Specialist?

If the answer to those questions is "No", keep looking!  It could mean the difference between finding someone who will find you the ray of light through the clouds, and one who will flood your life with further aggravation and hassles.
