A large percentage of our real estate business is working with Jacksonville Short Sales. We represent both buyers and sellers in this type of transaction.
Working with short sales you have to be ready for anything. We find it particularly challenging when the listing agent has no knowledge or expertise in short sales. There have been times that our buyers have had to look for other alternatives, even though a particular home was very appealing, because those hired to do the job lacked fundamental knowledge in the short sale arena.
There are basic questions that you have to ask (and know to ask!!!) when you are representing a buyer in a Jacksonville short sale transaction. We are often shocked at the responses we get when we ask these all important questions when representing our short sale buyers. Most agents are not educated and qualified in the short sale arena since it differs so greatly from a normal transaction. There are some Jacksonville short sale specialists that are very good at what they do, this is SO VERY IMPORTANT in a short sale transaction.
If you are underwater on your mortgage and need to sell your home, hire a Jacksonville Short Sale Specialist. ASK what qualifies them to be a short sale specialist. The use of a Jacksonville Short Sale Specialist is also becoming increasingly important when you are looking to buy a Jacksonville Short Sale property since you need to be represented by someone who has a complete understanding of short sales and how to structure your offer based on the type of loan the seller has and the lender involved.
