Short Sale Timeline Depends On Your Specific Situation; Work With An Experienced Short Sale Agent

January 29, 2013

Hi there, I’m Shawn Polston with Keller Williams Southern Arizona in Tucson and TucsonShortSaleNegotiator.com. Today I’d like to go over short sale timelines with you because it comes up all the time. I commonly have homeowners ask me how long their short sale is going to take and, honestly, it’s a loaded question with no simple answer.

We’ve done hundreds of short sales and each one has been different, even if they have similar lenders. If you have an FHA loan, a VA loan, a conventional loan, multiple liens, etc., all of these things factor into the short sale timeline. One of the things that it’s probably safe to say is that on average it’s a four to six month process; some can take longer, some can go quicker. It really varies and depends a lot on your circumstances.

One of the things to know when you’re talking to a real estate agent is to find out what their short sale experience is. For example, has it been three years since they’ve done a short sale with Bank of America? If so, I can tell you that Bank of America’s short sale process is completely different and have improved dramatically from three years ago. In getting an answer to this question, the recent experience of the real estate agent that you’re talking to is very important. These lenders do business completely different than they did in the past.

What I’d love the opportunity to do is sit down with you and discuss your situation. Do you have one loan, two loans, an FHA loan or other liens that would affect the short sale? We’d like to help educate you on how long your short sale process could take. Please feel free to fill out the short sale request form at the top of my web page or pick up the phone and give me a call because we’d be happy to help you assess your situation and go over your specific short sale process with you.

Make Sure Your Short Sale Agent Is Truly An Expert And Not A Rookie

December 5, 2012

Hello everyone Shawn Polston here with Tucson Short Sales and 520 Short Sales thank you for your time today. I work with Keller Williams Realty in the Tucson region and use this blog to share valuable information with distressed property owners who are ready to get out from under their mortgage debt. If you are struggling to make your mortgage payments every month or have seen the value in your home dissapear please browse through the website or call me today to learn about your real estate options.

For my blog today I wanted to talk with Tucson homeowners about the importance of finding a trusted short sale agent with experience and results to represent them. As short sales have become more common, or cool as I like to say, more and more agents are claiming to be experts or specialists when they simply are not. When choosing your short sale agent in the Tucson area make sure you see there results first hand and don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions. Right now in Tucson there are one day semninars being given that will teach any average joe how to complete a short sale. These seminars do not even require you to have a real estate license and may result in short sale beginners handling your important file. When I meet with a Tucson homeowner who needs to sell their distressed property I am very upfront with my results and my door is open to anyone who wants to know how successful I have been closing short sales over the last four years. Completing a short sale, or avoiding foreclosure in general, is a very important matter to you and should not be trusted to just any short sale agent.

If you have questions about your distressed property or are already considering a short sale please fill out a contact form on my website or call me directly to chat with a real expert about your options. Thank you for checking out my blog and I hope you have a great day.

Why Is It So Important To Find A Trusted Short Sale Team?

July 26, 2012

Hello everyone Shawn Polston here with 520 Short Sale and Tucson Short Sale thank you for your time today. My team of short sale professionals are working every day with Tucson homeowners to find the best alternative to foreclosure for each unique situation. If you are having troubling paying your mortgage each month or have seen the value of your home continue to drop take a minute to browse my website or call me directly to learn about all of your real estate options.

For my blog today I wanted to talk with you about the importance of finding a short sale agent who has the experience to get you a fast approval. The short sale process is still rather new to the real estate market and in turn not all agents have the knowledge and experience to answer your questions and provide you with the best advice. If you hire a single agent to handle your short sale it is important to know that they will guide you from start to finish. I say this because many Tucson homeowners have told me stories about their short sale agent handing off their file to a third party or real estate attorney and this can be frustrating. My team of short sale agents are all located in this office and if hired you will have contact with our entire team. A short sale requires plenty of private paperwork, including pay stubs and tax returns, and you need to be able to trust your agent with your financial records.

If you have questions on your distressed property please contact me today to learn how we can help you make the best decision available. Thank you for your time today and I hope to hear from you soon at Tucson Short Sales.
