Interview With ActiveRainer Attorney Richard Zaretsky


We had lunch with Richard Zaretsky a couple of weeks ago. As we were driving down to West Palm Beach to meet with him we said, let's do a short sale interview with him. richard zaretsky florida real estate attorney

Richard has referred short sale listings to us but just because he is doing the short sale negotiating for the seller clients he refers to us does not mean we just sit back and wait for the short sale process to get through. We follow up with Richard and his short sale processor.

  • We develop a marketing plan of action and make sure the Buyers agent and their buyer understand the short sale process. 
  • We also assist Richard in anything that he needs us to help with in the short sale process. 
  • One time we had to prove a big drop in the market so Nestor had to come up with an entire presentation for the bank to prove the values had really dropped as much as where the best offer was coming in at.

I will also post about the short sale that took over a year to close because of arguments between the first and second lien holders. 

We are very honored to have Richard Zaretsky write the forward to our Short Sales Success book. He is an active member in the rain and writes great legal commentary about short sales and foreclosures for ActiveRain. Check out his ActiveRain blog. 

So the question we ask Richard in this interview is: 

If you are going to have your attorney handle the short sale negotiations do you as the listing agent need to still know how to do short sales? His answer of course is yes. Please excuse the surrounding noise as we had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory in CityPlace in West Palm Beach Florida.

Lenn- I know you do:) He is a wealth of information. 

Virginia- Thanks! he adds a lot of value in the rain. 

Pamela- Yes, he is, thanks for stopping by. 

Anne- don't miss his articles, and he is a good person. 

Ginny- We usually negotiate the short sales because a lot of the sellers don't want to pay an attorney or they don't have the funds to do so. Richard is honest and one of the few attorneys who is getting results in a timely manner. Since we live in a state where most closings are done by title companies it is not the solution for everyone to use an attorney. We always recommend Richard but do they all call him? Nope. Richard is not one of those pay me $500 a month kind of attorneys that just takes the money and then leaves the homeowner in the dust. Since a lot of others do that here, it creates a conflict of interest and that is not good.

Katerina - Good interview with Richard Zaretsky. You did a good job, letting him speak, and he speaks as well as he writes :) I also like how you discuss the circumstances where you are letting an attorney negotiate one of your transactions, and how you stay involved.
