There’s a computer expert on the radio here who says the only time he buys the extended warranty is laptops, because if the pixels on the screen start to go, the replacement cost is almost the cost of the computer. And pixels die a lot.

This is the first I’m hearing of this term…”short sale”. I can see though these types of agents are not for everyone (buyers) out there. Great info.

I think if you know what you are doing and have the intelligence and knowledge then you can invest in a short sale. Investing in real estate is always about having the knowledge and doing things smart.

Short sales are not for every buyer. I just helped some clients get an excellent deal on a rural property in Florence, Texas. Short sales can be hard for the Buyer’s agent & buyer. Agents representing the seller & lender need keep in contact & share any information on how the sale is proceeding with the buyer’s agent.

We tell our clients that short sales are sometimes cheaper but you put for it in time and frustration. Also you put in an offer and hope you will get it in two months. But you could wait for a month for bank to dork around and then say no. On a house you close in a month and its rare something happens that prevents you from getting the house.

Short sales take a lot of time and devotion – precisely why my partner does nothing but work with the short sale seller and the banks. It’s daily communication with the banks and IMO, using a one agent show that is also doing everything else is really going to hinder chances (or significantly increase the time) of getting that short sale through.

Short sales require experience in this specialty — not just a real estate license.

Having an agent that is experienced, professional and competent makes a world of difference during a short sale. My neighbor ended up getting burned because he didn’t do his research.

This is one aspect of the current real estate market situation that a bad agent can really screw up. If you or someone you know is considering a short sale, be SURE you get an experienced, trusted agent.

why is that short sales have such a hard time going through? There is a home that i am really interested in and the agent said it wont be that much of a hassle but what i have read so far online that the process can be a nightmare and most wont go through.
