Notes from a Day of Short Sale Training
SHORT SALES - DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?
I recently attended a full day seminar on Short Sales, thinking this was the 'new wave' in real estate.  I've got to tell you I cam away very disapointed if this is the direction the market is headed.  To sum it up, they are a lot of work, will take at least twice as long as a normal transaction and ther is no guarantee that the deal will happen (is there ever?) or what your commission will be at the end of the day.
I really hope we can avoid this dierection, both for the sakes of the poor souls going through the drama in their lives and for us as REALTORS - let us do what we do - sell houses!
Anyway, look the notes over, and if they can help you, then so be it  Let me through in a disclaimer though, these are notes from a seminar, they are not researched facts.  Is it possible I either heard wrong or wrote wrong or even copied my notes wrong?  Yes to all of the above.  So, if you need a definitive answer, please look for one elsewhere.
