Investors and Short Sales

We find that most sellers of short sale homes didn't start out with the realization that they could, in fact, relieve their stress and anxiety so quickly. In our investing business, and in today's real estate climate, we have by necessity become short sale experts.
Our investing includes a number of purchases which have come to us through short sale purchases. Yes, they take a certain amount of time to acquire, but in the long run, we get an opportunity, and the sellers of the home are relieved of their burden. Here's how it works:A home owner who is underwater finds out about us, and contacts us. We take a look at the home, and, often, it suits our needs as investors. Either way, we put the homeowner in contact with our amazing and talented short sale team, Short Sale Angels. What they do is list the property and help us write an offer on the home. Since banks require that a property be listed in order to approve a short sale, this facilitates the short sale, and the homeowers are not left stranded and waiting for the bank to come and kick them out of their home.Sometimes, instead of the home owner contacting us, we find a property through usual channels such as the local MLS, or because a Realtor contacts us with one he or she feels would work for us.What we really like about the process is that we can do much the initial counseling and support for the home owner who is in need, and direct them to a variety of services provided either by our team or by our associates. One of the most important things to accomplish as a successful investor is to be prepared to be of service to the home owners you want to work with. We believe in solving THEIR PROBLEMS FIRST. If you can do that, you will always be somebody who has earned and kept their trust.~ Posted by GRR/GSH
