Curious to know what most people experience working on a short sale from the time that you recieve an accepted offer on a property. In time, I mean actual seconds, minutes, hours that you touch the file, not how many days it takes to get it approved.
Where is most of your time spent? Assembling the package? Faxing the package? On the phone? Emailing? Meeting BPO agents at the property?
Will be interesting to see where most of the time is spent and how much time you are spending.

I use a CRM system Called Highrise so we log the exact time spent working on a file and we have averaged about 10 hrs per short sale. We looked at 2009 and it was 17 hours , so it has been faster. Thanks for making us look.
Jeff,
3 years ago I was spending about 10 hours per short sale PER WEEK. Now, It's more in the vicinty of 1 hour per deal per week.
I have one that has been ongoing for 2.5 years, we're on our 4th buyer - and another that is coming up on our 1 year birthday.
Most transactions are working through to closing on average 3 months. It seems the higher priced properties I can get done in less than a month (I closed one in 14 days after initial submittal (EQUATOR) but it was mid-$1 Million)
Hope this helps
I am doing a survey with agents here in Northern California, and I have to assume that the numbers should be consistent with the US, and one of the questions I asked was how long it takes for a short sale close from beginning to end and the answers were evenly split between 3-5 months and 5-7 months. Each answer got about 35% of the votes so far.
I would say about 5-6 months from what I am seeing. If you want, take the survey and see for yourself what others are saying. Please know that I am not selling any service or anything, I am just a real estate agent trying to rally our industry and in hopefully getting answers and solutions to this mess.
You can take the survey at: http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e35g782sggtlu6v2/start
Good luck!
