How do I start a short sale?

by Charlie Allred on December 29, 2011

Most of my articles come directly from clients.  I know short sales, so sometimes I forget what a potential client doesn’t know yet.

A client asked me “How do I start my Short Sale”?

My Answer: You make an appointment with Secure Real Estate.

However, the answer is a little longer.

First- Make sure a short sale is your best option.  We offer a free phone consultation.  The phone consult takes 5-10 minutes.  We have an assessment to determine if you are a good candidate for a short sale.  If you are not- we refer to a non-profit HUD approved counseling group for other options.

Second- Once we determine a short sale is your best option, we set an appointment.  In this first appointment we will answer any questions, complete all listing paperwork to put your house on the market for sale, take photos and install the lock box.

Third- We look for a buyer.  The home is actively listed on the MLS- and is for sale.

I go into further details on the Short Sale Process in other articles.  I want this article to be on the beginning of a short sale.  The beginning is always the scariest, it is the unknown.
