3 Questions to Ask Your Short Sale Agent:

Selling your house can be a very stressful experience, especially if you are considering a short sale. There is a lot of uncertainty involved, and it can seem like a daunting task. Knowing the right questions to ask can help reduce some of this stress and help you to feel better about the whole process. Here are three vital questions to ask your short sale agent before starting the sale:

What is your level of short sale expertise?

Albert Einstein once said that “the only source of knowledge is experience”, and this is especially true when it comes to buying and selling homes. A short sale agent with a lot of experience knows what they are doing and can help you navigate through the complicated world of real estate with minimal stress. Make sure that the agent you are trusting your home’s sale to has been around the block a few times.

How long do you estimate that it will take to get approval for a short sale?

While the time to get approval can vary from case to case, an experienced short sale agent can usually give you an estimate based off of similar cases they have dealt with in the past. Having a time frame in mind can help reduce your stress and give you a general idea of what to expect and when to expect it.

What fees will I have to pay?

This question is very important. Making sure that you are both on the same page at the beginning of the process can help prevent any nasty surprises or disagreements at the end. It is also generally a good idea to get this in writing so you have a record of the agreement you both had in case any unexpected charges arise later on.

Asking these three questions can help you make a smart decision about selling your home. If you are ready for your free, no-obligation consultation or still have questions about the process, contact us today!
