A professional short sale negotiator can help you get the deal of a lifetime on a home, but only if you act fast. The Newport Beach, Calif., area is one of the best areas in the world for home sales. But in recent years, there have been many foreclosures as jobs have been lost and poor loans were approved. Rather than foreclose on every single homeowner, many lenders are working to rectify their mistakes by allowing the short sale option, which would give the homeowner a chance to sell at a cost lower than what they still owe on the home. While it means a smaller take for the lender over time, it keeps them from losing money by ensuring that the property remains occupied over the long haul. You as a buyer can benefit from these transactions, but only if you find the right professional short sale negotiator. These individuals are different from plain old real estate agents. Just how are they different? Consider the following: Agents know about sales before they become officially listed. A regular agent may just stick a sign out in the yard, publish his listings in a magazine, or throw up a billboard with his picture and phone number on it. A short sale agent works in the trenches and doesn't wait for the properties to come to him. He examines homes that have been on the market for a long time. He knows the right amount to offer for a short sale home so that the seller will actually take the offer seriously while the buyer will benefit from a great deal. He works connections that he has developed within the lending industry to make sure that he knows where the distressed properties are and how to get the best offer in front of the right eyes as quickly as possible. Working with a professional short sale negotiator takes a load off the home buying process. But you will still have some obligations throughout the process. Buyer obligations It is up to you to have a strong credit rating, a consistent and strong revenue stream, and the ability to walk away and forget about the offer while moving on to the next one. Competition is fierce in the short sale market, and if you dwell on any one offer for too long, it can drive you a little batty. By living up to your end of the obligations, you make the negotiator's work much easier, and you increase the chances of getting a luxury home at a not so luxury price. When you are ready to buy a home, consider going with a professional short sale negotiator first, and you may be surprised by what the two of you together can achieve.
