Does a Short Sale always need a Realtor?

Yesterday I was doing an interior BPO for a lender. The owner was there for the photos and so was the buyer. During my converstation while taking interior photos I found out that the home was being sold as a FSBO and a short sale on top. I of course offered my services, but was politely told that a Realtor was not needed and the Bank did not require a Realtor in the transaction. I did not ask which bank but I thought all Short Sale transactions required a Realtor. Does anyone know anything different?

Of course a realtor is not needed. There are a ton of investors who hit these homeowners before they are ever listed who negotiate their own offers and are successful

I've never heard on one closing. Would be interested if any have.

Cynthia, Not all lenders require a real estate agent. Knowing one was used, however, gives more credence to the knowledge that the home was adequately marketed. A FSBO cannot expose the home as well as a licensed real estate agent. Common sense is that the greater exposure = greater chance of higher price!
