The Importance of Using a Short Sale Negotiator
Most seller’s who are negotiating a short sale have never gone through this before and are thus very inexperienced with the entire process. As a seller, you can benefit greatly by having a professional Short Sale Negotiator on your team helping you every step of the way through this very complicated process. However, beware of short sale negotiators who charge a fee to you, the seller. Let your experienced Short Sale Realtor connect you with a professional Short Sale Negotiator who is compensated directly by the Lender via the short sale agreement and not as a cost or charge directly to you or your Realtor. Should your short sale not close for any reason, there would be no cost(s) to you or your Realtor when working with a professional Short Sale Negotiator. There are people who have seen an opportunity with short sales and are calling themselves short sale negotiators—charging an upfront fee to walk you through the paperwork—beware of paying any upfront fees. Also, some of these people will merely assist you in gathering the documents necessary to begin the short sale process and send them to the lender on your behalf.
