How can a reputable source for a short sale be found ?

I'm facing foreclosure and was told that I should seek someone try and do a short sale. the last time I did this I was approached by someone after listing on Craigs list, only to find out that they prolonged the process for about 2 and a half months. complaining that the mortgage co. was not responding to him. ultimately the property went into foreclosure anyway. "an investment property. "

since I lost half of my income I'm not able to keep up the payments on my primary residence, and desperately need to downsize. any advice would be greately appreciated. thank you.........

You can go to any Realtor or Lender With Experience in doing a short Sale , Don't go fishing on Web sights trust me you will be in the Same boat as last time, Call your Bank your Note Holder, Ask for Loss Mitigation's Department and ask for some advice see if they can point you to a Responsible Agent , OR once again Use a Realtor or Lender Experienced in the Process of Short Sales Also Stay away from Mom and Pop Real Estate Firms when dealing with this matter. Stick with your Bigger Name Real Estate Firms Or Lending Firms..

Good Luck hope all works out in your favor!!!!!

The very first thing for you to do is call your lender and ask for their help. Then second call regardless of what the lender says, is 888-995-HELP. This is a counseling service to advise you that HUD set up. It's free. It is invaluable to you now. Don't wait call them now.

A short sale has to be approved by the lender, and they aren't quick at making decisions.

If you like I can make a referral for you and get an agent that knows your area , that is your decision. But make those two calls today. Please don't wait. If I can help further, email me alterfemego@yahoo.com
