Are you a Realtor that is working your own short sales with lenders? Have you tried doing them yourself in the past and concluded that it is a royal pain? Or are you not even bothering to do short sales at all?
Let’s face it. If you’re spending an inordinate amount of time on the phone on hold, faxing documents over and over again, and calling a lender repeatedly to make a short sale work, this is time that is not spent listing and selling properties. These are additive activities that don’t earn you any more commissions on the listing. They decrease your effective earning power.
That’s where we come in.
We take all the ugly file management, phoning, faxing, and emailing off your hands. You list the property and sell it, and let us worry about the lender. Let us stay on hold for 40 minutes, let us fax the paperwork for your seller five times because the lender claims they “never got it”. Let us harass the lender until they assign a negotiator and bring your short sale to a successful close.
What Is Our Success Rate?
We don’t take every client on. We do an initial review of their history, and decide which ones have a good chance of going the short sale route. But of those we do accept, our success rate is over 70%.
How Does It All Work?
All you have to do is identify a potential short sale prospect, explain to them what a short sale is, tell them to expect to hear from me and give me a call. We’ll exchange some preliminary information, and we’ll take it from there. As an alternative, you can click this short sale initiation link and fill out a short sale initiation form to either start a short sale or ask a question. Someone will get back to you within 24 hours.
How Will I Know What Progress You’re Making?
MDS has its own system for tracking your short sale. Every time we have a significant conversation with the lender’s negotiator, we create an entry in a log file in our system. You (and your seller) will be notified via email every time we update your file with any important developments. Interested? Then schedule some time to talk to me, or send me a note. I look forward to hearing from you.
