A day in the life of a Florida Short Sale Agent

Bryant,

Seller is XXXXX Dromedary Court, Kissimmee 34759. Please send me the listing paperwork and a CMA. I have everything else. We also have new paperwork for you as an agent, the agreement to negotiate as a 3^rd party. I’ve attached everything above. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, Amy VP: Short Sale Division

Bryant,

I spoke with XXXXX today and we discussed the short sale conditions in further detail.

If he agrees to bring funds towards closing and signs an interest free promissory note over 5 years then we should be able to negotiate this deal.

I have received the most recent offer for $103K however would prefer to have a higher non-cash offer provided. Our last appraisal has expired and I will be ordering a new one today and they generally take about a week to return. Once returned I will be in contact to follow up to see if this offer for $103K will be accepted.

Thanks ING DIRECT || Retail Asset Managment

Bryant,

I am in receipt of the short sale offer for this property. Thank you for a lovely short sale package. It appears to be pretty complete. I’ll dig into it more when I have the bpo results. Has the pkg been submitted to BOA? I am ordering the IBPO now. What number do you want me to give them for access?

Thanks and look forward to working with you.

Bryant,

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for all the work you have done in selling my house. From the moment I spoke with you, you went to work providing me detailed information and guiding me through the process. Whenever I called you with questions, you patiently answered promptly and kept me informed every step of the way. I was delighted at the level of professionalism you showed by so actively working to sell my house. Your persistent efforts surpassed my expectations when you sold my house within several months. Thank you for making this a positive experience!

Sincerely, Jeff

HEY BRYANT SORRY TO INFORM THAT BUYER IS WITHDRAWING OFFER ON 158 ARGYLE GATE LOOP RD. DUNDEE.

Reserved Parking The Lovely Wife...TLW...ROAR!

Very creative little post :)

TLW...ROAR!

Busy, Busy, Busy.... Hopefully Nathan will be able to help you with your workload.

This sounds so familiar!

What - no lunch? Hope this wasn't the whole day! Neat post, sounds like you have pretty good rapport with your negotiators!

Yep that sounds about right. So how did the 5 closings go yesterday?

Hi BB - Those sound like familiar conversations! As for the last one, at least the buyer's agent had the courtesy to let you know his buyer was backing out. I try to keep the buyer's agent apprised of our status on short sales, but every now and then I will get an email in return a few months into the negotiations saying that their buyer has just closed escrow on another property so I can stop sending updates.

Thanks for telling me just now, Mr. Agent! I could have been aggressively marketing it again if I'd known that they were backing out (our backup offer left earlier, but that wasn't surprising, since they knew that even after a long wait, they'd still be in number 2 position). I politely asked why he hadn't let me know, and he said he had been busy, and anyway that I should expect that no one will stay in a deal for 3 months. Rather than argue, I just got busy promoting the listing.

I am so in awe of those that make their living helping others the way that you do, with the challenges faced DAILY. I'm at a loss for words. Complete loss, and a headache now.

5 closings? Not me. I could have used five closings though!!!

A day in the life...aka our world! lol

Bryant, we are spending more and more time doing work that we really shouldn't be doing. Often, not very appreciated by those we represent.

Sounds very familiar to me. I'm just surprised that there was no bank communication where they accidentially told you the wrong address or called you about a file that was not your own! Guess it was a good day (only one buyer withdrew hish/er offer ;-)

Happy Sunday!

Yup, that pretty much sums up the day of a short sale agent, that's for sure. I try not to dwell on the losers who withdraw offers because I know that a few hours later, I'll get short sale approval on something else, so I just stick the thing back into active short sale status and keep on keeping on. :)

BB - You work HARD for your money, that's for sure! Makes me wonder if business would go any smoother if some of these big-time-lender dudes were locked up.....just sayin'.....

Have a great day! :)

And the consumers wonder what we do to earn that commission!!! Sounds like you deal with complex deals everyday, but do it effectively! We need more of you out there!

I can vouch that Bryant can handle everything thrown at him with efficiency and aplomb. Keep'm going!

Short sale are the majority of our market. So they are our life these days.
