If you don’t call the Short Sale lender EVERY 3 days…

1. It might be a month before the short sale lender lets you know you are missing paperwork (they “lost” it)

2. You won’t know you’re not “authorized” (they misplaced your letter)

3. You won’t know they NEVER got your short sale package, (although you have the fax receipt)

4. They might never “refer” the file as a short sale (Countrywide cases) because it’s still in loan modification process

5. They won’t call YOU with a counter offer until they “get” to it next week

6. You might not get connected with the “right” rep who gives you a different answer and really cares

7. You won’t be able to tell them the appraisal STILL has not been ordered

8. You won’t be able to tell them the BPO agent went out to the property 3 weeks ago

9. You might not find out about the scheduled foreclosure sale date, nor be able to postpone it

10. You won’t find out they’ve switched negotiators, because the previous one no longer works there, so you’ll have to start all over

11. You won’t be able to save the file from going to collections

12. You won’t find out the junior lien was sold to an MI company as an insurance claim

13. You won’t know they rejected the offer and closed the file

14. You won’t find out the negotiator didn’t get your email because you mispelled her name

15. They’ll forget about you

In short, no matter how excessive it may seem, it’s critical to stay on top of the short sale lender. One phone call may be the difference between approval or denial. 

It’s Wendy!

Do you plan your showings in advance? Or do you fly out the door with a customer and call the listing agent at home on Sunday morning on your way to a showing with 15 minutes notice?  Do you call an agent at 10:00 p.m. Friday night to set up a showing at 9:00 a.m. Saturday morning?  Or perhaps you call Saturday night to set up a showing for Tuesday?  When you call, do you ask if the agent has a moment to speak with you? Or do you begin your request right after “This is Sue”?  Do you say, “I apologize for having to call you at such a late hour or on a Sunday?”

When you get a new buyer, do you school them regarding setting up showings in advance, so they get the opportunity to see all the properties they want? Or do you let your buyer take over the showing schedule for fear you might lose them?  Granted, once in awhile, there might be a last minute switch or change of heart by the buyer, but agents will get better results by both planning in advance and agent courtesy. Planning will bring you control over your professional life and stress management in your personal life. Courtesy will bring you better relations with everyone.

It’s Wendy!
