Welcome to Short Sale Steve (.com)

This blog is my way of sharing my thoughts and experiences working with home owners, buyer agents and the banks doing short sales. Commenting is open but only to registered users. I've limited to visitors that register to keep down the 'drive by' comments that add no value to the blog.

My hope is to help other Realtors that are new(er) at doing short sales find some answers quickly as to avoid a failed short sale. As you may know the national average for short sales success is only at 10%. That suggests that 9 out of 10 home owners end up going to foreclosure due to their failed short sale attempt. Those are horrible numbers and as Realtors serving our local communities we have to get the training, tools and knowledge to successfully represent home owners needing support to do a short sale.

So why is this free? For a few reasons. The more Realtors doing a better job and closing these deals the better for everyone and the local market. The other reason quite honestly is I would like your short sale referrals if you are too busy to work them. This blog allows me to spread the wealth as it were and generate short sale listing leads from Realtors that would still prefer not to do them yet. So stop back, check out the posts and if you are our here in Northern Virginia and need to refer a short sale keep me in mind.
