Will Hiring a Florida Short Sale Realtor Make a Difference?

By
Real Estate Agent with The Palm Beach Group

Facing the possibility of losing your home to foreclosure and choosing to short sell as a solution is indeed a big task especially if you decide to do it alone. If you think about what lies ahead, you should seriously think about hiring a Florida short sale Realtor.

There are many advantages to hiring a professional to help you out. They include the following:

Expertise and Skill – It will take a certain amount of short sale knowledge to ensure a smooth transaction. You may not know it but a short sale can be tricky especially if you consider the many financial documents you have to prepare as part of requirements to get approved. Realtors also possess certain skills particularly required in dealing with the buyer and lender. If you want things to go smoothly, you will certainly need these qualities.

Experience – You cannot deny hiring a Florida short sale Realtor will work to your advantage since they have the necessary experience which will come in handy when problems with your proposal arise. Also, such experience will increase the chances of your proposal getting approved by the lender since it will be well-prepared, complete and most of all, believable.

Dedication or Commitment – Keep in mind your Realtor’s job is to help you in every which way possible. They understand what you are going through and work hard to make sure you are given a fair chance to stop foreclosure. You will be provided with great advice and you can even consider him or her a shoulder to cry on when something goes wrong or circumstances become tough.

When you think about it, only good things will result from hiring a Florida short sale realtor. If you want to have a fighting chance, it is one of the things you should do. Of course, to protect your interest, you should make sure the Realtor you hire has a license to practice in the state.

I wouldn't want to do a short sale with an agent that had no experience.  Seller or Buyer.
