How Much is one Short Sale Worth?

Last year I wrote this post about being hired by a woman who found me on Google while searching for a short sale REALTOR in Western Massachusetts and asked for my help with her short sale in Chicopee, MA. She had tried to hire other agents, and none of them would take the listing.

I took that listing and within six months, I had that home sold to a buyer who used me as their agent.

The seller had a friend who was also in danger of foreclosure and she gave him my name to try to sell his property, which is also in Chicopee, MA with a short sale. That home closed yesterday.

From a real estate agent’s point of view, those three closings took much more effort, time and patience than a “traditional” sale, but they were three transactions that I wouldn’t have had if I didn’t say that I would help that first client.

Like everyone else, I have to earn a living, but I get paid in better ways when I am able to help with a short sale. I get paid in gratitude and satisfaction. I get paid in the knowledge that I helped someone move on to the next phase in their life. I get paid in knowing that I am, in some small way, helping with the foreclosure crisis in America.

One short sale is worth a whole lot.

Why Should You Hire Lesley Lambert, REALTOR in Westfield, MA?

In the course of real estate over the last few years, the short sale has become a normal part of my work as a REALTOR in Western Massachusetts. I have personal experience with the stress that a distressed sale can cause and have endeavored to do all I can to help others get out of their situation and move on with their lives.

As such, I have worked with many Western Massachusetts home sellers who need to sell with a short sale and that is how I met Janine. She called me after her previous listing expired. She had tried to sell her home in Chicopee, MA for enough to pay off the mortgage due, but current market conditions didn’t prove that sales price and after some research she realized she needed to try a short sale. Her real estate agent wouldn’t take the listing as a short sale, nor would the next agent she asked. She turned to Google and found me. I was happy to help her and while it wasn’t necessarily easy, together we got her Chicopee house sold and Janine was able to move on to the next chapter in her life.

I am grateful for the business, not only because I was able to sell the house, but I sold it to a lovely young couple who are just starting their lives and are thrilled with their first home. The greatest joy in this situation, however, is knowing that I was able to help a home owner in distress when no one else would and that she feels I did a good job for her.

I will let her words speak:

“Lesley (Lambert) is an outstanding real estate agent. She is a go-getter! I would recommend Park Square Realty to anyone buying or selling” –Janine Provost

Thank you Janine and I hope this new start brings only the best to you and yours!
