Partnering with a Professional Short Sale Negotiator Makes Sense
Short sales are complex transactions that require much more time, energy and effort than traditional transactions. An average file will take 45 to 80 days to work through the lender’s process and if the file submitted is incomplete or inaccurate, often times the entire timeline starts over. Further, a single file will typically require hundreds of phone calls, emails and faxes.
It is estimated that short sales negotiated without a dedicated short sale professional have a close ratio of 5% to 20%. Additionally, timelines to complete a short sale vary widely ranging from three months to over a year. To date, our team has a close rate of 88.6% and on average, files take between 90 and 120 days to go from contract to close! While it is impossible to guarantee exact time lines, this type of success is the result of skill, experience and a deep understanding of each specific lender’s processes.
