In today’s current real estate market it seems like every real estate agent is attempting to handle short sales. At Toni Patillo and Associates we have getting short sales closed for over six years and have the knowledge and experience to back it up. Being a Santa Monica short sale agent gives us the opportunity to share this experience every day and we want to be the answer to your questions.
While short sales have certainly taken off in the last few years the process of negotiating with your lender and getting your file approved fast cannot be trusted to just anyone. In my time as a Santa Monica short sale agent I have learned the ins and outs of negotiating with your lender while also developing relationships with different lenders. Your lender may not always be keen to forgiving your mortgage debt and for this reason having experience and staying up to date on this ever changing market are a real asset. When selecting a Santa Monica short sale agent make sure to ask the tough questions about their experience with your particular lender. On average in the United States it takes four to six months to complete a short sale. This means your Santa Monica short sale agent will need to assess when your foreclosure date is and have an approval as soon as possible. Some agents also have specific training or certificates stating they are short sale agents. These classes cannnot replace experience as a Santa Monica short sale agent.
Buying and selling a home may be the biggest transaction of your life and for that reason it is important to find someone you trust. As your Santa Monica short sale agent I will use my six plus years of experience and established relationships in the real estate market to get your file approved fast. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
