The best way to find a Short Sale Realtor .
It's easy to discover a realtor...There everywhere... Here are my suggestions on what you have a look for in a Licensed California Realtor. Confirm they are Licensed!
The Realtor has CLOSED at least Twenty short sale transactions. Not just listed. I'm seeing folks lose there houses everyday because they employed an inexperienced agent.
The way I see it... I'm the one that you hire to help you avoid foreclosure. At some particular point you and I are going to sit across from one another and sign the paperwork that enables me to market your home. Therefore it's my responsibility to help you through this. Not pass it off to some company so I can just try to get a few more listings
The realtor should Market the property on the Multiple Listing Service. They do not work with investors unless the property is in actually poor condition and normal financing can't be obtained.
They've got a lawyer for you to check with if necessary.
Do not work with the guy / girl the bank has recommended to handle your short sale. That agents ultimate aim is to get more listings from that lender. They could server you up on a silver platter. What i mean by that is...sometimes a short sale isn't in your best interest....maybe Bankruptcy is easier when you still have the house not after its already been sold. Not to say each agent would be that way.... You only need to be cautions.
7 ) The agent is familiar with the area and a member of the local board of Realtors.
