If you think a short sale is the route you need to take to sell your home, the most important decision you can make is which realtor will represent you.  It can be the difference between actually selling your home and the bank foreclosing on you, and here’s why. 

 

Short sales are very complicated, and can take a long time if you don’t know what you are doing.  Your realtor must navigate the maze of bank officers and asset managers, and must know what the banks require to make a short sale happen.  Bank officials aren’t opposed to doing short sales, but they don’t want to deal with a realtor that they have to “coach” through the process.  It’s not an easy task, and if your realtor hasn’t done it before, the task can seem insurmountable.

 

We have negotiated many short sales and have helped numerous families avoid foreclosure.  Our experience dealing with banks in these matters gives us an edge that most realtors don’t have.  We know all the paperwork that the bank will require, and all the steps that need to be taken to qualify for a short sale. 

 

This is not a normal real estate transaction, and most realtors are not equipped to help families short sell their homes.  Even so, some realtors will take on a short sale just so they can generate leads and meet new buyers.  They never really intend to sell the home.  To them, it’s just a marketing tool.  I’ve seen it happen too many times.

 

   Our goal is to help you and your family avoid foreclosure, and the credit nightmare that foreclosure creates.  It’s an incredibly important transaction that will affect your future.  Don’t leave it to someone without the experience to help you though this tough time.    Use the links and watch the video below to help with your Short Sales vs Foreclosure research.  Questions?  Contact me and I can help with your Dallas, TX
