Short Sales in Hawaii Oahu - We have closed 34 Short Sales - What Buyer's Need To Know

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Honolulu

Short Sale Buyers:

Here are some questions you need to have your Realtor ask the listing agent on a short sale.

1.  How many short sales have you closed in the last 12 months?

Current experience is critical.  We are in economic times that have not been seen in decades.  A top short sale educator has stated from the the teaching platform that the newest Realtor is the best student for the current market conditions because prior knowledge or non short sale knowledge can be a hindrance to coming up with the solutions for an ever changing short sale market.

 2.  How many active short sale listing do you have?

If you are not in the thick of it,  it is hard to be aware of the changing lender conditions for short sales which do change daily.

 3.  Do you have a complete short sale package?

Many Realtors make the mistake of taking the listing first and then chasing down the seller afterward for the short sale paperwork. Or the short sale paperwork that they do collect is incorrect or surplus. An incomplete short sale package wastes everyone's time, including the buyer.

4.  Do you use a 3rd party to handle the loss mitigation of the short sale package with the lender?

The more efficient Realtor will have a 3rd party performing the communication on the short sale package with lender so that he or she can focus on what they need to be doing.  The marketing of the property.  Short sales are such a specialty that the first couple of transactions are lab experiment for all parties involved.  Some States have legislation that does not allow the Realtor to negotiate directly with the bank.
