  I like to talk to the agent too but in my experience, most will tell you what you want to hear and not necessarily tell you the truth :)

  Jeff,

  I do that also but I try to discuss with the agent personally about their experience with short sales.

  Marcy, we have a form that the buyer and buyers agent signs at submission of offer that explains the short sale process and timelines.  This way at least we know that they had the form and that they at least should have read it and hope they understand :)

  Such a great post! It is imperative to ask those key questions to a buyers agent and make sure you are doing everything you can to set your seller up for a successful closing. Too often listing agents just receive an offer by fax or email and review it with their sellers and their seller signs it, all happening before the listing agent ever even talks to the buyers agent. There's no excuse for that kind of laziness and inexperience. That is a disservice to the sellers. Keep up the good word Marcy!!! :)
