I co list with my fellow agent Chris Ann Cleland who handles the short sale negotiation end of it while I do the rest of what is required for a listing.  It works out beautifully;  we each get to do what we do best.

I do list properties that will probably be a short sale, but only if the seller has contacted the lender prior to listing.  The seller has to be aware of what the lender will require and how it really works.

I have been listing them since 2007.  They are not so bad when you get the hang of them, and start a great referral base, unlike REOs.

I do list them and sell them. The process has changed and is much easier if one is well experienced with them, The  key is asking the seller the right questions and making sure they can even do a short sale. The next key is a barrage and constant communication with the lender.

Hi Tony & Suzanne - We did one many years ago, and quickly realized that we were well out of our comfort zone and area of expertise. After that, we always referred them to a specialist we trusted.
