Do You Need Short Sale Help in Western Massachusetts?

A new seller client found me on Google by researching the term “short sale real estate agent in Western MA” and has been following my blog articles of short sale advice and education which are posted here as well as at my regular blog.

While no one wants to be in a situation where they have to sell their home via short sale, I am honored that she valued my input enough to want guidance through this and I am thrilled that I may be able to help her through this difficult time.

She tried to get several other agents to help her with getting informed and I was shocked that they gave her answers like: “short sales are too much work” and “I don’t DO short sales”.

While there is some truth to the fact that there can be extra work involved in selling a short sale, each one is different and they can go fairly smoothly. They are also a reality of our market right now. I find it hard to believe that agents are simply refusing to help, even if only with a referral to another agent that knows how to work short sales.

I find great pleasure in helping sellers with their short sale situations for a few reasons:

#1- I was there and feel empathy for their level of stress. I want to help that stress decrease.

#2- It is a hands on way for me to help the housing market recover and stop properties from foreclosing

#3- It is an avenue of business for me.

So, if you are a homeowner in Western Massachusetts who needs a real estate agent to help you make a short sale work, call me. If you are a REALTOR in Western Massachusetts who doesn’t want to work short sales: refer those clients to me, I will take good care of them!
