Dangerous words..."Probably do...."...No distressed seller should sign up to be any Realtor's "Short Sale Experiment." As a distressed Seller, you are looking at far more than selling a home...you are placing your financial future in the hands of someone you are entrusting to complete a short sale succssfully...to help you start over financially.
No Realtor...make that no professional will ever be offended if you ask for "third party verification" of their experience and more importantly.....their success. Many Realtors take an ipad or laptop with them on a listing appointment. While we can't say what every MLS shows....we know that many MLS systems can show how many transactions an agent has completed that ARE short sales...and as or more importantly....how many were attempted and not completed. You don't want to gamble with an atent that has a 50/50 track record for completion of short sales...or who has done a few a year...or done one here and there.
If you have a question about the qualifications of the agent who volunteers to do a short sale....point them to a computer and have them show you their track record.
If you or someone you know is in need of a short sale specialist anywhere in the country...call us...we will refer you to someone who is experienced and successful.....and able to help you with a fresh financial start.
