CONSIDERING A SHORT SALE FOR YOUR MARYLAND OR NORTHERN VIRGINIA PROPERTY?  WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP??

The advise is often “EDUCATE YOURSELF”!!

GOOD ADVICE FOR HOME OWNERS CONSIDERING A SHORT SALE TRANSACTION??  

I don’t believe so.

The very first thing a home owner should consider is the selection of a LISTING AGENT/BROKER.

A consumer doesn’t have to re-invent the short sale transaction.  How do they know where to begin to “educate themselves”?

THEY DON’T!!

Experts who advise consumers to “educate yourself” simply, IMO, contribute to the many misconceptions under which owner/sellers enter the Short Sale process.

Consumers cannot assimilate the data or information they read and consider without a sound knowledge of how a real estate transaction works and how the Short Sale relates to that process.

EXPERIENCED REAL ESTATE AGENTS ARE WHAT MAKE FOR SUCCESSFUL SHORT SALES.  We help consumers understand the process.  Consumers do not have to

Attend real estate school
Affiliate with a broker
Experience a variety of real estate transactions
Obtain advanced training to manage Short Sales
Understand the Short Sale requirements
Understand the Short Sale language
Provide market and pricing information
Evaluate Short Sale prospective buyers
Manage Short Sale contracts
Arrange for the Short Sale title work
Manage the Short Sale closing

AND MORE. . . .

I suggest that the very FIRST STEP A PROSPECTIVE SHORT SALE OWNER SHOULD TAKE IS

ENGAGE AN EXPERIENCE LISTING AGENT/BROKER.
