So Who is My Client? The Bank or Home Owner?

For many of us we know the answer to the question who is our client during a short sale. But honestly it is a good question to answer for those who have not stopped to ask the same question.

Simply put the home owner and not the bank is your client during a short sale listing. All things being equal the only difference is the need to get the banks approval for the agreed sales price. Will they accept a lower payoff to release the lien? You will most likely see this noted in other posts but remember this as you stay tuned into your fiduciary responsibilities.
