Realtors: Don't Short Sales Stink?

SHORT SALES SUCK!!


We here at BlackDog Properties of Central Florida love our real estate agents. Why is there the stigma of the Real Estate Investor being a bad guy? Some real estate agents think that there is an unwritten rule against Investors and them working together. When it comes right down to it, if in harmony, we complement each other.

Short Sales SUCK!!
An average short sale takes 8-months to complete and all in all takes 30-hours. If you're a real estate agent and have attempted to work a short sale, you know this is generous. How often are you stuck on HOLD for at least 45-minutes at a time while your life is on pause? When the pre-screener on the other end answers, how often are they nice and courteous? NEVER!


When they begin speaking to you, they often start the conversation condesendingly, insulting your intelligence and laughing at your incomplete short sale package. Then you ask the homeowner to dig up the missing documents. As time goes by, you are now ready to resubmit the package. Then on HOLD again. And again. And again.

Then you find a buyer. Great news! Now, if only I could get the negotiator on the phone, then we could close this case out. Wait, you still haven't passed the prescreen part! 30 days go by, 60 days go by and you have yet to speak to the negotiator of your case. Then... you lose your buyer.
Short Sales Suck! Just check out the graphic to the right and you will find our tip for you to help get these things closed quickly! Allow us to free up those 45-minute to 1-hour blocks of your daily life. We do not charge you. You can be more attentive to your clients and work on client retention and referrals. You always get your commission, anywhere from 2.5% to 4%.

You can get more short sale deals closed; wash, rinse and repeat! Let us do all of the dirty work. We work with a team of real estate agents who funnel their short sales to us and they just focus on finding the buyers. On average, our deals are ready to close within 90-days!! All you have to worry about are getting the contracts signed!!
