Here is your opportunity, something for everyone.  If you’re a buyer, and you want to know more about the process of buying a short sale, please call.  Just as it is vital for a seller to have an experienced short sale agent, it is equally important for a buyer to FULLY understand the short sale process to avoid frustrating while waiting for an offer to be reviewed by the seller’s bank.  Your buyers agent should know enough about the process to be able to discern if the listing agent knows what he or she is doing .  If the listing agent has never done a short sale, your chance of success goes down.  There’s no reason to skip short sales, they are excellent opportunities, you just have to know what to expect.
