How Are We Different? A lot of new agents, companies and websites have been popping up on the internet claiming to have experience and be experts, and some agents even claim to be the area #1 expert in short sales, but when you get down to the true numbers and their resume, they are NOT! Just because they have alot of short sale listings, does not mean they know how to close them and get the short sale done! Some nationwide companies are out there claim to help, and they can, but in the end you are referred off to a local agent who may or may not have the necessary experience level. Many agents are just getting into short sales, as where before they avoided them like the plague, due to the additional work and decreased commissions, and are simply doing them now as a matter or survival. Don’t be fooled by agents claiming to be the #1 expert. Be sure to ask questions, before choosing who to work with!
