Whether you are buying or selling a property you may be looking for a short sale realtor.
And finding one who deals with these can prove to be a little bit difficult.
A listing agent does more than just list a house with the MLS.
These agents are the ones who have to deal with the bank and there are very few who have the knowledge and experience to do this.
These sales require a lot more work than a regular listing deals with.
Choosing the right Realtor can be the difference between actually selling the home and the home going into foreclosure.
There are a few questions that you need to ask the realtor before hiring them to sell your home.
Some of those questions include have they worked with these sales with lenders before.
What type of marketing plan do they have to sell your home the fastest.
The amount of shorts sales they have sold and the amount of those short sales that have gone into foreclosure.
These are just a few of the questions that you should be asking them.
  There are many Realtors and companies that claim they are the number one choice for your needs.
Many of these people are just looking to make a fast dollar from homeowners so that is why it is important to not just hire the first short sale Realtor that comes to mind.
Most of the people who advertise that they are an expert in short sales are really not experts at all.
If the Realtor is not able to explain the short sale process to you then that should be a big red flag for you.
  If you are going through the process of foreclosure on your house it can prove to be a very trying time for homeowners because more than likely they are just one step away from losing their home to foreclosure.
That is why they would like to walk away with some sort of dignity and a short sale on their home.
That is why they do not need the hassle of a crooked realtor.
