SHORT SALES are one of the most asked about topics. The problem starts that there are no one set of rules or regulations that can guide you through one. Here in the Manchester NH as most other areas, there are Home Owners getting Foreclosed on because the may have chosen the "wrong" agent to handle the sale. Buyers are affected as their purchase is rejected.

There are some comments fresh in my mind, that I hear mor ethan any other and that is "I wish I would have known".

THE WRONG WAY


1. Listing your home with an agent that is Out of State

2. Listing your home because of a Flashy AD you saw on TV or in the paper.

3. Listing your Home with an agent who is "in-experienced" with Listing, negiotiating and Selling Short Sales.

4. Listing your home with an agent who will "Under Price" it to attract more buyers.

5. Listing your home with with a big name company becuase your perceive bigger to be better.

THE RIGHT WAY

1. Know what is the TRUTH and what is a MYTH
a. The bank is not the seller in a short sale - the home owner is the seller.
b. The listing agent works for the home owner - not the bank.
c. The bank does not set a list price - the listing agent does.
d. The home owner accepts the offer - their bank must then approve the sale

2. List your Home with a LOCAL agent who is well experienced in your area.

3. Experience with short sales is more important than flashy TV or Newspaper ads. Choose an agnet who not only specilaizes in List Short Sales, but who will guide you through the process and get your sale approved and sold.

4. You should not be the Trial and error part of the learning curve where a new agent gets their experience in the world of short sales at your expense.

5. Your home should be priced at or just below market value. Homes priced much below market value can doom your short sale before it starts as banks usually will not approve short sales with such low prices. Listing or trying to sell too low could lead to a rejection of your sale.

 

IN CONCLUSION If you owe more than your house is worth, if you are behind in your payments or if you have to move. A Short Sale could be for you. The most important tips is to list with an agent who is well experienced in listing, negotiating and selling Short Sales. If you live in NH, call me first. I use a professional negotiator that works on the sellers behalf when negiotiating with the bank at no cost to you. Most often the home owner can complete a short sale at no cost to them.

Hi Scott-

It's always good to clear up myths and facts.

"5. Listing your home with with a big name company becuase your perceive bigger to be better."

My favorite comment you made is #5. Most consumers don't realize we are independent agents.  It's not about the brand, its about the service and expertise. Nice job.
