Have a Short Sale Listing but Don't Know How to Negotiate It?

You've got the listing agreement signed. Your seller is motivated, and you're ready to get the property sold.

Then comes the complication.

The homeowner owes more than the property is worth, and the sale will require approval from the mortgage lender.

Now what?

If you're a California real estate agent who doesn't regularly handle short sales, you're certainly not alone.

You Don't Have to Become a Short Sale Specialist

Short sales involve a different process from traditional real estate transactions.

The lender may require financial documents, a hardship explanation, a complete offer package, and additional information before reviewing the request.

Then there are the follow-up calls, valuation reviews, missing documents, and sometimes multiple lenders or lienholders.

And just when everything seems to be moving forward, the loan servicer changes or the lender requests something else.

It's a lot to manage when you're also marketing the property, communicating with your seller, and handling your regular business.

When Does It Make Sense to Get Help?

Consider bringing in experienced short sale negotiation assistance when:

• You have a potential short sale listing but aren't familiar with lender requirements.
• The lender keeps requesting additional documents.
• The lender's property valuation appears higher than the market supports.
• A previous short sale request was denied.
• The homeowner has a previous loan modification or partial claim.
• The foreclosure timeline is becoming a concern.
• You simply don't have the time to manage ongoing lender negotiations.

Getting help doesn't necessarily mean giving up the listing.
