Asset Management Companies are jumping on the Short Sale "Bandwagon"!

By
Real Estate Agent with Troop Real Estate Inc.

We've all heard about "Phantom Inventory" and the next "Wave" of foreclosures and subsequent REO's, but right now Short Sales are the thing. In my Market, they're everywhere.

About six months ago we saw a slowdown in REO's due to loan modifications, moratoriums and Short Sales. I sent query letters to all of the asset management companies that I work for to see what their thoughts were about managing Short Sales. I received a mixed review. Mostly comments like,"we've considered handling Short Sales but are not currently interested, thank you for your foresight". 

Well, things are starting to change.

Finally......... at least one progressive asset management company IS MANAGING SHORT SALES!

Check out PMH Financial's new site! http://www.shortsaleapproval.com/index.html

I applaud them for being a progressive company. It is a natural transition for them, and I think we all need to catch the current wave, Short Sales.

As far as that Phantom Inventory goes, who knows..........I think we'll be ready though.

Well Rudy,

I jumped onthe Bankwagon today.  I started listing Short Sales in early Spring 2007 and quit by the fall when I started listing REOs.  Well, today I got a phone call and tonight I signed a contract and added the Short Sale to the MLS...it just felt so wrong...like I had to swallow a big slice of humble pie...

I have seen a jump in short sale activity as well.  I would rather have REOs!  But am also excited to help the sellers get a monkey of their back.

Here is where the market will slow down to a crawl. I hope they pick up the pace.
