As a listing agent, I've found the help of our short sale specialists to be excellent. Regardless of the involvement of a short sale negotiator, banks still appear to take their sweet time in negotiating, or even responding, to any offers submitted. Now, as a buyer's agent, the two things I advise my clients are: 1 - Patience 2 - More Patience Just because we submit a great offer on a short sale, does not mean that the bank will take our offer. We're advocating that as a listing agent, don't put yourself between the bank and the seller. As buyer's agents, we need to counsel patience for our clients and manage their expectations in this rapidly changing marketplace. John,

Thanks for your comment. As a listing agent, I’ve found the help of our short sale specialists to be excellent. Regardless of the involvement of a short sale negotiator, banks still appear to take their sweet time in negotiating, or even responding, to any offers submitted.

Now, as a buyer’s agent, the two things I advise my clients are:
1 – Patience
2 – More Patience

Just because we submit a great offer on a short sale, does not mean that the bank will take our offer.

We’re advocating that as a listing agent, don’t put yourself between the bank and the seller. As buyer’s agents, we need to counsel patience for our clients and manage their expectations in this rapidly changing marketplace.

Of all the short sales I have been involved with, the one where a short sale company was involved was the least productive, least informed, and worst outcome. In this case, the seller signed up with a short sale negotiator that advertised and purported to have a great relationship with the big banks, and promised a fast response and help on negotiating. After 90 days of waiting, our offer was rejected, no counter offer, no nothing. Thanks a lot, short sale specialist.
