We’ll be the first to admit, not every Fresno short sale is going to end successfully with the homeowner avoiding foreclosure.
But, if you’re thinking that a short sale is right for you, then there are definite steps you can take to help increase your chances of short sale success.
FRESNO SHORT SALE TIPS FOR SUCCESS
This ongoing series of short sale tips is designed to teach and inform you on how to increase your chances of beating foreclosure and pulling off a successful short sale. After all, avoiding a foreclosure on your record is the main goal right?
Besides, once you finish your short sale, you will be surprised at how big of a relief it is to be out from under that huge dark financial cloud.
HIRE A FRESNO REALTOR®
One of the first things on your to-do list after you decide to take on a short sale, is to hire a professional and qualified REALTOR® to guide you through the short sale process.
A Fresno REALTOR® is going to be your partner through the process. It’s important that they’re local and it’s important that they know the local market conditions. Hiring an out-of-town outfit to manage your short sale just doesn’t make sense.
In fact, your REALTOR® is going to assume many roles through-out the short sale process, and this list touches on some of the main ones:
- List your home for sale,
- market the property in order to find an interested buyer,
- assume the burden of dealing and negotiating with your lender, and hopefully,
- closing the short sale in the shortest amount of time.
It’s important to note here that not all real estate agents are REALTORS®. The REALTOR® designation is a sign that the agent has voluntarily pledged to a strict code of professional ethics from the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, to protect and promote their clients’ best interests.
