With over 40% of today’s listings being short sales, there are more homeowners now than ever before who need our guidance and assistance. However, short sale transactions do take time and persistence in order to be negotiated effectively. Some agents prefer to negotiate their own short sales with the lender(s), but the fact is that most agents simply do not have the time, let alone the desire to sit on the phone, day after day, waiting for the bank to respond. Most agents prefer to be out in the field earning more business, rather than being tied down in the office with paperwork and phone calls.
