There are many people in Western Massachusetts who need to consider utilizing a short sale to make a move. It is imperative that you are working with a team that is knowledgeable, credible and professional to make your short sale a success.
It is crucial that you find a REALTOR that is ready to help you resolve your distressed sale situation in Western Massachusetts. I have had several years of experience in successfully closing short sales in Westfield, West Springfield, Chicopee, Springfield, Southwick, Agawam and the Pioneer Valley.
#1- Hire a REALTOR who is experienced in successful short sale closings.
#2- Make sure that you provide a COMPLETE package to the lender.
#3- List at a price that is competitive, but not too low.
#4- Hire an attorney who has a team that will work to negotiate for you.
#5- Explore tax ramifications
#6- Make price adjustments on the schedule recommended by your Western MA REALTOR.
#7- Allow showings at all times.
#8- Stay in contact with the lender. Answer phone calls, return documents as needed.
#9- Negotiate with all offers.
#10- Have buyers do inspections prior to purchase and sale agreements.
I have lived through this experience in my own life…I am empathetic and ready to help anyone in Western Massachusetts who wants a short sale specialist with heart and professionalism. I work with a team that includes a well respected attorney who specializes in short sales and an accountant. We will be hosting a FREE, no obligation, educational short sale seminar very soon. Be sure to reserve your space and we will notify you as soon as we schedule the date.
This may be a stupid question, but could you elaborate a bit on what you mean in #2 “Provide a complete packet to the lender?” Packet of what, exactly?
Not a stupid question at all…the packet is sent by your lender when you initiate the short sale process. It can be a bit intense and extremely detailed, but it is very important that you submit a complete package. Many people get tired of the process and sent a partial package…this will never work out.
Please let me know if you need any kind of help.
