Short Sale Success goes beyond the commission check. We as realtors, have the chance to help real people with real problems. Below is a letter that I just got from a client that I helped
in a Short Sale. Until she met me she had never even heard of a Short
Sale. Other Realtors were telling her that they could not help her and
she should just walk away from the home. We were able to close
before she was foreclosed on and the bank wrote off the deficiency. Feel
free to pass this letter to clients who doubt our ability to help them

Mike Sher

June 12th

Earlier this year, I found myself in a dire financial situation from which it seemed there was no hope. I had missed a mortgage payment and other bills were piling up. I knew that if I were to catch up,
within a few months, I would be facing a higher payment as my rate
adjusted up. At that point, I realized that in order to make my
mortgage payment, I would barely afford to pay for the gas and
electricity, much less the gas to get to work!

I tried contacting my mortgage company multiple times to let them know that I was soon facing my second month without enough money to pay my mortgage, but after faxing over all my financial documents,
communication came to a standstill.

I even contacted a lawyer to file bankruptcy. Thankfully, he recognized that the crux of my financial burden was my mortgage and he referred me to Mike Sher.

When I met with Mike for the first time, I was distraught and overwhelmed. He listened to me with compassion. What I appreciate from that first visit was the calm but thorough way he explained my
options. He was very informative about the short sale process. I never
felt pressured to make a decision on the spot or at any time throughout
the selling process.

Although I agreed to sell my house, I admit, I was skeptical it would be sold. Mike answered all of my questions and allayed my fears with great patience.

He was very aggressive in marketing my house both in the traditional ways and on just about every internet site available. Each viewing and agents' comments were listed on a website where I could log
in and get feedback.

Once we got an offer, Mike continued the hard work in communicating with the buyer's agent and my mortgage company. Many times, the process seemed confusing and long, but Mike explained
everything in an understandable way. I never felt out of touch with
what was happening. I felt secure that Mike was being my advocate.

Selling a house is no easy task in any economy. I truly appreciate Mik's knowledge and hard work in helping me get back on my feet financially and getting my house sold.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Maria G.
