Short Sale Sherpa

When I think of a Sherpa I think of those brave souls leading a group of anxious and hopeful climbers up the face of the world's highest mountains. This is the Sherpa's back yard and they know it well. It is up to the knowledgeable Sherpa to guide his group safely to the summit. Sound familiar?

In this day of short sales and foreclosures buyers need to be led by an experienced guide to get through and over all the pitfalls of this kind of transaction. Can you imagine an individual trying to "climb the mountain" without a guide (Realtor)? This why we spend time in classes, sales meetings and seminars. We are the ones that need to stay up to the minute on information in order to be the best guide for the buyer or seller.

All of you Sherpas out there, go forth and learn to earn. These types of transactions are going to be around for a while. So get out of base camp and become the guide you need to be to help your clients.

For all of you buyers and sellers, do your homework and get with an agent that can lead you to the top of the mountain without a misstep. We are out here, waiting for the call to lead.
