Confessions of a Short Sale Expert in Reno
By: Joe Salcedo
“Genius is the art of taking pains” - Jane Hopkins
Working on a short sale listing was never on my short list. Many horror stories have been told. We were advised to stay away from it, if we can. Much to my surprise a few people came to us asking for help on their homes. And with hesitation, I leaped into the world of selling short sale homes.
Here's what I learned so far:
-
It takes me thirty minutes on the phone(on hold) for a simple 'Yes or No' answer.
-
Yesterday, I faxed a letter (asking for authorization) to the bank five times before I got what I needed.
-
You can be sure that delays will happen in the deal.
-
However great the need, you can't be a jerk. You're at the bank's mercy.
But at the end of the day, I realized the rewards for sellers far outweighs the difficulties. It is still worth a shot.

Simple but concise. It's not hard to understand what you are telling us people.
It would be nice if you added more copy to have a greater persuasive power.

Edward,
Your right. It would be a lot more potent if we can tell the whole story.
Unfortunately, I only had a one 8 X 11 white bond paper quota to fit all the words.
Thanks for the suggestion.
