It’s always my goal to help you stay ahead of the game. Hey… you already are ahead of the game—brave enough to stare short sales in the face and take short sale listings.
Here’s the skinny on some of the interesting stuff currently going on in the distressed property arena:
Top Short Sale Articles for the New Year Do you feel that you can absolutely never get enough of short sales? Do you love talking about them and reading about them? Here’s a comprehensive list of some ‘must read’ articles.
2012 Is the Year Yes, 2012 will be the year of the short sale. Read this article to find out why. If you are not actively marketing for short sale listings, then you had better start today.
Short Sale Agents Can Be Your Best FriendsAnd you thought that people liked you for your good looks and your wonderful personality. Think again. Short sale agents are an excellent source of referrals to lenders (and vice versa).
There’s lots going on in the distressed property arena. And, if you are actively working with ‘distressed’ borrowers, it’s important to keep up with all of the changes in the industry. Sometimes that’s hard, which is why I’ve provided you with a weekly recap right here.
Great post. I couldn't agree with you more. We see a growing trend in short sales and short sale awarenes, as well as short sale acceptance...back in 2008....there was an outright negative stigma....these days, for a number of clients, it is viewed as a necessary stepping stone for them to get to (or into) the property they desire.
Morning Melissa, thanks for the article. Short sales is one area that needs constant discussion. The banks ae always changing their process and it is good to share how and what they are doing to get to a successful short sale approval. They are a great opportunity for the right buying market, and we should expose them as such!
Michael: We provide distressed property education to agents nationwide (lots of free webinars and things), and local (CA) short sale processing services. We are also a San Diego County real estate broekrage.
