My name is Rebecca Howard, a short sale specialist in the Southwest Suburban area of Chicago. I have been successfully working and closing short sales for over 20 years; long before 'short sales' and 'foreclosure' terms were commonly known. I look forward to hearing from you if you need my assistance.

The Short Sale Referral group is not for posting ads. ***You may introduce yourself ONCE, then POST REFERRALS ONLY***. I've already deleted a few comments here.

I work with my sister Beatrice and together we help homeowners in the Sunshine State. We concentrate our efforts in the N Pinellas & S Pasco Counties of the Tampa Bay Area.  We work the PALM HARBOR, TARPON SPRINGS, OLDSMAR, CLEARWATER, DUNEDIN, SAFETY HARBOR, WESTCHASE AREA, TRINITY AND NEW PORT RICHEY.

We have extensive Short Sale experience and are efficient and experienced at negotiating and navigating the Bank's bureaucracy as well as knowing who and how to escalate when necessary to get a deal closed and help our clients move on with their lives.

Let us know if you have any questions or would like to know your options to avoid a Foreclosure.

Moved to Burlington co when I first got here and started investing. Now in Gloucester - closer to Philly and the airport then most suburbs of Philly.Most of my investing was in Camden co - most active area. You might grab a copy of we buy houses sometimes by a local author, but experience with good people is most important until you get your feet. Probably need to continue any of this elsewhere before someone complains. ;-)

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the detailed response.  I can appreciate your comments,..and see the pitfalls waiting for me.  Time is on my side... no rush here.. and I'm in it partially for the $...and equally (if not more so) for the passion.  I love it.  No idea why.. but more than any other career path I've had.  Learning all I can at this point.  Will certainly continue to search carefully for a 'mentor' while finding my niche.  Great advice.  Thanks for taking the time to respond.  Mind if I ask.. how far south are you in SJ?  Further than Burlington County?  The rehabbing side of investing is not my focus... (frankly it scares me).... but ideally would partner with someone with that expertise.  I'll be careful not to just throw myself out there to the sharks.  Thanks again.  :)

Nancy, I'm in SJ, did investing for a few years. The word "investor" is about as magic as IRS investigator. Investors don't want market value deals, they need super deals to make money, they lowball offers, eat up a ton of time, especially with short sales (where banks often demand higher than market values), and often are much more fickle and less flexible than a regular buyer.  Who wants that kind of work?

Lawyers like printing the same papers for client 1, 2, 3.. for $150/hr and not dealing with short sale work for $0.18/hr. Realtors hate spending tons of gas money driving people around and getting nowhere - looking for super excellent "steals" that an investor might want.

Despite the late night ads, you can't just use a shotgun approach and have money fall into your pocket. You need to get connected to a local REA to get connections and local hints. You need to focus on "your specialty" and pursue contacts with that. If you want an agent or atty, you need to prove you are worth his time to even talk to and not just waste his day. That requires clear criteria from you, a reasonable story as to why he is better off taking a chance on you rather than plunk down $50 and let the MLS or whatever find buyers, etc. Deer in the headlight staring won't cut it.

That doesn't answer your exact question but does answer your situation. (Getting your name out to attys and agents is easy - email/mail/etc - but is worthless - right to the trash.)

The strongest investors that I know get in touch with good wholesalers. They build a reputation that they take good deals, don't dicker around, are fast and they don't take grief from the wholesalers. The best ones that I know are also agents. They don't get much from other agents or attys.

I'm looking to get back into it - I like fixing up places - but I'm not in your area. If you connect to a "mentor", make sure you have someone who actually invests and not just a program salesman - the talking part is easy. ;-)
