I almost could not believe my ears when I heard the newest scuttlebutt. Apparently, some agents are saying a Sacramento Short Sale Agent should not sell homes with equity because short sales are the agent's specialty. That's like saying a Sacramento pilot should not fly to Denver because she routinely flies to Europe. Especially when the pilot put in all of the hours required to get certified by navigating the Sacramento-to-Denver route. Or, that an oral surgeon is not qualified to clean your teeth.
Why is it when a person is qualified and educated to do two things and another can only do one, that the one-thing person points accusing fingers? Well, you know the answer to that, and so do other people.
Right now, I would estimate my short sale business is about 10% to 20% of my traditional sales. My sellers with equity make up the much larger percentage of my new listings. That's a good sign for Sacramento! But I can and do sell both short sales and traditional sales, and my decades of experience proves it.
