Shortsales Should Be a Joy for Any Realtor! What Else Can they Be?

Short sales are the scourge of most Realtors lives. (or so I have been told) I on the other hand have cut my tenth of short sales, that is about all I know. The fact is they are not going to vanish ether. This is a fact of the real estate world. So if they are a pain I would suggest get to know them better. The new designation of SFR is a great course for understanding the ins and outs of the local market and laws. This is necessary information for Todays Realtor. So once you get to know the short sale it can become your best friend. There are so many Realtors that will not touch short sales, and this can be to your benefit. Now you can be the hero and come to the rescue of the home owner in distress. Every short sale I have closed I have had the seller thank you up and down for selling there home. They did not make a penny, but they were not foreclosed on. They know of the hard work and devotion it took to sell their home in this market. And I had the pleasure of helping them out. Those are some of your most loyal fans, and they are willing to tell everyone and there dog how you saved them from the bank. If this was the only outcome it would be worth it. But some of the greatest joy I have had in the past few years was helping these people that no one else would. Are you a Realtor who helps those in need, or are you just looking for the quick buck.
