Short Sales from Your Perspective

Hi Everyone,
As Director of Member Services, I need to address current market issues based on hot topic items in the industry. In our current economy, I’ve heard a tremendous amount of feedback from REALTORS® regarding short sales; such as how to close them, how to get the banks to return calls, and how to figure out the necessary paperwork, just to name a few. If you are an agent who struggles with these questions, or some like these, then you are not alone.

Help is on the way! We have secured a short sale expert to come to GHAR to address issues like the ones mentioned above and more. On Friday, March 18th at 9:00am, George Tifft, REALTOR® and Certified Depressed Property Expert, will be speaking regarding short sale topics such as:

  • Why will a lender do a Short Sale?
  • Understanding how banks make money and how it relates to short sales
  • Just how big is the short sale market going to get?
  • Where do you start?
  • The Listing Package
  • MLS Disclosures
  • The Offer
  • The Lenders Package
  • Lender Negotiation
Visit George’s Blog for more information and helpful tips:

Sincerely,
Gina Micelotta
GHAR Director of Member Services
