When you are ready to select a real estate agent to handle the sale of your property, you will want to find an agent that meets the following criteria:
An agent you believe you can trust.
It helps if you have experience with the agent or if the agent was referred to you by someone you trust. Look for an agent with whom you feel comfortable. Short Sales are not always easy; you want someone you can talk to.
An Agent who listens.
Your agent will need to gain a real understanding of your situation, and to do that they will have to listen. The agent will also need to listen to your lender to determine the best way to get your Short Sale approved. Active listening is a critically important component to a successful short sale.
An agent with patience.
Sometimes Short Sales move quickly, and sometimes Short Sales move more slowly. It will take an agent with patience and a steady hand to get Short Sales approved.
An agent with experience in handling Short Sales.
Short Sale transactions involve issues that don’t come up in traditional real estate transactions, and you want an agent that gives you the best chance possible of getting your Short Sale approved on terms as favorable as possible.
