Choosing a short sale agent is as daunting a task as choosing any other professional in the real estate market today. The process of choosing a short sale agent, however, can be tough because of the complex nature of a short sale. Here are some basic questions to ask a potential candidate.
How long have you been doing short sales – they say experience is something that no classroom in the world can equip a professional with. At the very minimum, you want to work with an agent who has a minimum of 3 years experience in the field, but more is better.
How many sales have you closed since you started – just imagine the wealth of knowledge an agent who has managed to close over 500 short sales has? Such an agent probably has all the short sale packages from all lending institutions on hand and knows how each institution operates.
