Hello to all!

By
Real Estate Agent with Connect Realty

This is so cool!  So far, all of my listings are SHORT SALE.  Some lenders are very easy to work with and some are (you know what I mean).  Overall, it's a great experience because I'm sure that short sales will come back again in the near future.  So, why not, get started with it right now in this century.  I've heard horror stories about short sale from other agents, but I don't think it's not that bad.  If you know what you're doing and you're submitting all required docs right away then it should be just fine.  These lenders have already lost a lot of their investment money, and by being sympathetic to them and letting them know that the borrowers/sellers didn't expect this to happen and didn't want them to lose their home thru FORECLOSURE... the lenders will be more than happy to help these distressed borrowers.  Just be patient and kind to the lenders or rather negotiators that's handling the case.  Because they could be a real friend to you in the end... that's it for now!

Andreli, you can post your listings to get more exposure if you join the group listings by address and a few more groups too. This will get your listing high on the google search page.
