No one ever said that short sale real estate specialists weren't in this end of real estate NOT to make money...of course we are...it is the profession we chose and one of the areas in which we chose to specialize. Beyond  that it is an area that dedicated short sale real estate agents have chosen to invest in. Invest....Not just in the time that it takes to list a short sale...in taking classes, in earning designations like the CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Experts) which means you pay a course fee...you pay air fare, hotel and meals...you invest time, effort and resources in learning your chosen area of expertise to be the very best you can be in the markets in which you practice. Add to that ....that a "normal real estate transaction" whatever that is these days....takes 2 agents, a buyer and a seller and perhaps 25-30 sheets of paper and 45 days. A short sale transaction....if it is done correctly to our minds...takes the buyer, seller, agents, a coordinator and possibly other staff for additional overhead, the training and constant updating on training of short sale status, the follow up either through/with a coordinator or other person to stay on top of the "file pile " with the lender...investing in whatever each brokerage requires to do a listing...transaction fee, listing fee, a choice of photography, web placement, time for promotion, etc....AND the all important package or more than likely packages that are carefully prepared and fully documented for the lenders involved....then the commissions are sometimes cut for all of this effort AND instead of the 45 day wait to get paid....it is now 75-90 days to closing. Yes, your choice to me a short sale specialist involves some sacrifice and extra effort.

     Why do it ?  Don't try it if you can't handle it financially....if you are going to end up shorting your short sale sellers in service, in effort or promotion.

  Short Sale Sellers you deserve attention....communication....be sure you interview real estate agents who really want to sell your home as a short sale..AND more importantly...MOST importantly...have the education, the dedication and the resources to take your home to a successful closing.
