I'd love to get feedback on how other real estate companies are handling short sale contracts. We have created several templates that rely heavily on tasks, reminders, document notifications, etc for our agents, clients and management. Our brokers have to sign off on the accepted contract within 5 days, however, we do not want to trigger the typical inspection related task reminders etc. on our regular templates....how are other companies handling this so the agents AND management aren't frustrated, yet everyone still has what they need? I have thought about creating a generic template file with limited tasks, etc., (and then just import the documents to a regular closing file once bank/seller agreement is in place) but not sure if this is the best alternative....Thoughts anyone?

Jaime, when I set up shortsale templates I always have tasks divided into two categories: pre-bank approval and post-bank approval.  While your broker document review tasks and things like that can be set much like a normal re-sale transaction, I would recommend having a task added to your short sale closing template that specifically indicates the receipt of bank approval.  Then, you can use that as your "trigger" task and have all post-approval tasks, like inspections, based off the completion of that trigger task rather than the contract start date.  Any other ideas out there?
