How to Chose a Short Sale Realtor in Elk Grove

It seems like every Realtor in Elk Grove is claiming to be a Short Sale Specialist or the #1 Real Estate Agent.  In reality there are a handful of Elk Grove Realtors that are actually capable of selling your home as a short sale. 

There are many Elk Grove Realtors who will take your short sale listing and refer it to a 3rd party short sale negotiator for a percentage of the commission.  The problem with this strategy is that these agents are not accountable to the seller because they have little idea of what is really going on with the short sale negotiation. 

Questions to ask your potential Elk Grove Short Sale Realtor :

1.  Can you explain the Short Sale Process?  An Elk Grove short sale Realtor should be able to clearly articulate the short sale process so that you, the seller, understand.  If your agent sounds unclear, chances are, they have little experience actually negotiating short sales themselves.

2.  What is your short sale experience?  An Elk Grove short sale expert should be able to go into detail about some of their short sales closed in the last 6 months.  Also, find out if your Elk Grove short sale Realtor has ever closed a short sale with your lender.  All lenders are different!

3.  Can you tell me about my possible short sale liability?  Most Realtors are not also real estate attorneys and can not give legal advice.  However, Elk Grove short sale specialists should be able to explain possible tax issues and be able to refer you to a trusted, tested, and reasonably priced real estate attorney who will be able to advise you on your specific situation.

Interview at least three Elk Grove Realtors.  You will be able to tell who is the most qualified agent to sell your Elk Grove home.
