How To Avoid The Top Ten Reasons Short Sales Fail

Much has been written on why short sale fail and how to avoid them. But only so much information can be entered into a blog or article, no matter how good the information is.

We are doing a FREE live (NO SALES FEST) webinar for a local real estate group and would like to invite any Active Rain members to join us. The webinar will be "content rich" with opportunities for questions.

The webinar will be held Tuesday May 12 at 3:00 PM Central time.

The top ten reasons we will cover are:

  1. How lack of experience and education can defeat you from the start

  2. Why not qualifying the seller can waste your time and your buyer's opportunity

  3. Why many short sale packages are turned down or ignored by the lender

  4. How an incomplete or inaccurate "estimated HUD1" can cost you money or kill the deal

  5. How to follow-up with the lenders and avoid the "waiting for them to get back to me" syndrome

  6. How to price the property to attract buyers and please the lender

  7. Why ignoring the lenders BPO process is the number 1 reason for failure

  8. How to avoid the buyer walking before the lender approves the short sale

  9. How to present the short sale in financial terms the lenders understand

  10. How to counter the lender's short sale approval offer
