17 Comments on WHY are you submiiting so many Offers to the Bank for a SHORT SALE?
Good morning, Scott.... good advice as always for short sale agents who have received multiple offers on a short sale listing....
Thank You for the comment Barbara, with multiplke offers on most new listings within days, it is important to know how to handle them on a short sale.
Good morning Scott -
If I know there is multi offers I suggest my buyers go with their highest and best. Then I try to prepare them for the wait. Always a tough situation. Suggested.
Have a productive week.
Thank You for the comment and the SUGGEST John
Hi Scott - The seller is not the bank - that's not exactly a minor point you raise here. And getting the right offer to the bank for approval is just one of the many points of expertise an agent needs to provide to the transaction.
Dick thanks for seeing my key point, it some how gets over looked with some. Having an agent who is well experienced in short sales is a must for success.
Maybe by submitting multiple offers Scott, an agent feels like they don't need to make any decisions, just let the bank deal with the issues.
AL that is the quickest way to a rejection, the bank doesnt want to make any more decisions than they need to. The banks decision is how much will they net and are there any contingincies that could kill the short sale if the bank did accept.
Very good advice. It is difficult to understand why so many agents are not familiar with the short sale process.
Have an outstanding week with your camera in hand.
Thank You for the comment Roy, many have geard, but not many have experience completing one. the problem is short sales require alot of time, patience and knowledge that on the job training or trial and error often lead to a rejection of the short sale and foreclosure for the owner, so an experienced agent is a MUST.
I've never understood submitting multiple offers on a short sale. Though I did have a lender once who asked me to send them all unsigned by the owner so they could review. They selected one and then the short sale was never approved.
Great post Scott. All too often we have agents involved in short sales who never should be. What many do not realize is that if you fail in a short sale the chances are strong you will financially devastate that family for years to come.
Cindy it is a recipe for failure, the banks cant take care of the minimum nevrmond ask them to be judge and jury to pick offers.
MIKE most home owners and agents do not consider this which is unbelievable. Devestaion is correct... Choosing a well expereinced local and full time agent gives the home owner an advantage.
Banks have enough trouble in processing the best offer that they get. If they get more than one offer, it will only confuse the issue – and confuse the short sale lender – and lead to longer processing time.
If the agent cannot determine the best offer to submit, how would that agent figure out how to advise any client on any transaction about which offer is best in a multiple offer situation?
As a Short Sale Agent, you can only send One "accepted" offer to the Bank to approve. You can, if asked and approved by seller, let the Bank know that there are backup offers. The Seller can only sell the home to one buyer , you and the seller must decide which offer is the best one.
