What’s The First Step Of A Short Sale?
Short Sale Process Step 1:
The first step of the short sale process is no different that making the decision to sell your home. With a few exceptions, there is nothing that can be done that is different than marketing your home for sale if you were selling and did not need to request a short sale from your lender. The Twin Cities Short Sale Realtor is an expert in the entire short sale process. That short sale process starts with marketing your home and receiving a purchase agreement, or offer to purchase, your home.
We are Realtors® at heart. One of the main functions of a real estate agent is to market your property to prospective buyers that are interested in your type of home. We do all the little things that go along with the real estate sales process including the basics:
- Getting your home on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service)
- Providing detailed information for prospective buyers
- Scheduling professional interior pictures and/or virtual tours
- Providing sales brochures
- Ensuring that your property disclosures are filled out completely and accurately
- Adding your real estate listing to all the appropriate online real estate websites
Although marketing your home for sale is Step 1, it's only a small portion of the entire short sale process. Working with your lender to get them to agree to the short sale request is by no means a short process, but it is the necessary part of selling your home.
