Realtor Short Sales Training and Resources
Qualifying a Listing agent for a short sale

Lets face it. Time is money. When working as a buyers agent in a short sale, it is extremely important to
qualify the listing agent for competency. After all, the last thing any
agent wants is a wait of several months in a short sale that is going
nowhere fast due to inexperience of the listing agent, only to have the
buyer back out of the transaction.
Prior to showing ANY short sale listing, its a good idea to screen the listing agent to see if it is worth spending your time and your buyers time on it. When working as a buyers agent in a short
sale transaction, you will want to quiz the listing agent to see what
their knowledge and experience is with short sale transactions, you
will want to use caution if the agent is inexperienced or not
confident.
Here are some helpful questions to ask a listing agent:
A good rule of thumb is that the listing agent should be "hands on" when it comes to the process, have
knowledge of the process, and be able to give updates when needed.
Taking the time in advance to ask some questions like the ones above
will ultimately save you and your buyers many headaches in the long
run. Doing so can lead to a much smoother transaction, and ultimately a
much happier buyer!

Hope somebody found these useful! For preferred partners or anybody purchasing the training program, we have a form with these questions that will be up on the put on the preferred partners site next week for your use.
