"Every lender is different. I personally sold two of my investment properties in 2010 as short sales. I was the listing broker on both. I did not receive a commission. The selling broker did. Both were with BofA."

"Krystal,   I didn't sign any escrow instruction form, wasn't given one to sign.  On the info sheet with the original submission, I was listed as the listing agent.  It was no secret.  Several times in my discussions…"

"Great stream as usual.  I would not list my own.  I would use a good Short Sale List Agent, keep my hands out of it, except as requested of course..and let 'er rip.  Why dirty the waters? "

"I am the broker of my company and although I am working on a possible loan mod I feel this may end up as a HAFA short sale. Who was the bank? And didn't you have to sign your name as the person receiving the commission for your brokerage on…"

"You legally can if you disclose it clearly. Most banks don't want you to and there is really no law barring it and you wont be compensated.  It's much better to go ahead and refer it to a trusted expert in your office. You can stay…"

"I do know that Freddie Mac GSE HAFA does not allow you to list your own property. Not even with the same brokerage. The arms length agreement within the HAFA rules. I got a referral from a Realtor, another brokerage, who wanted to do a HAFA…"

"Forget the referral fee. Just get another agent to do it. Never mind the liability issues. Pay up your E&O if you do it yourself. Like others have said, there can be no commission to you. You cannot profit from the short sale."
