Seattle suburbs real estate: Mountlake Terrace Short Sale Condo:
Short sales take forever - anyone selling houses these days should have a pretty good idea of what they are getting into when they buy a short sale. I was thrilled that my latest short sale closed in less than three weeks from offer to close! LESS THAN THREE WEEKS!!!! A quick short sale? It CAN happen!
There were a few tricks I used in getting this one to close quickly. The condo is in the Seattle suburb of Mountlake Terrace - Pricing on it was extremely competitive and a good deal for the buyer. Having comps ready for the bank when submitting the offer is vital. Having your buyer's lender on standby is also a huge factor! In this particular case we were able to close the sale just about a week before foreclosure would have occurred. This was great for the bank and the seller!

Courtney: Congratulations on such a great job. It sounds to me like you came pretty close to doing the impossible. I might suggest getting a letter of recommendation from whoever you represented... the buyer or the seller... and use it in your future presentations.
