- Choose a realtor with short-sale experience
- Many short-sale properties are sold as-is, which means no repairs will be made by Seller
- Your offer may be rejected or countered. Be prepared to consider raising your offer prices as lenders want to net as much as possible
- Be very patient!
- Consider continuing your home search even if you submitted an offer on a short-sale property since it is not guaranteed your offer will be accepted
- Short-sale properties may be less likely to be trashed or ransacked
- Don’t assume a short-sale property is a steal. Get comparisons for other properties in the area
