Simplify Your Short Sale Faxing!

This is a short post on getting your offers over to the banks. Often the short sale package can have more pages than you are able to fax comfortably using a standard fax machine. Some of our recent packages have had 150+ pages. We have been using an efax service with great success.

Simplify Your Short Sale Faxing. The reason we like this is it lets us send it over and more often than not it goes over the first time. Imagine sending these pages through your company fax or home fax. You would have to stay and monitor the fax while it went through and it could take up to an hour. If it is also your office/home line then forget that option all together.

A couple of quick suggestions when faxing. Always call the fax number just prior to faxing and make certain the line picks up. Many of the efax services will charge you for large, failed faxes due to the amount of resources used to continually re-send the fax. The second suggestion due to how busy the short sale departments are is to try and fax during off hours so you can get through easier.

Currently we use MetroFax because of the cost and fee structure. It is the best one out there that we could find and has been very reliable. Check them out at MetroFax.com
