I've learned this lesson the hard way and now I abide by the rule -- I don't ignore my first impression. Although I love to help people, I've had to learn to limit my impulse to help. Some people are committed to taking you through the fire with them. Others are so angry at what the bank has put them through during the loan modification process that they are determined to spread the pain. And then other people (the vast majority) are simply a dream to work with. I prefer to work with the latter. Tni LeBlanc Broker/Attorney, Short Sale Agent Hi Tim,

They will normally have some reference to their forms and what they want. If not, just put together a standard short sale package and submit it. When they review it, they will ask for anything that you do not have in the package. It is better to get the package perfect the first time, as it goes through quicker. However, if you cannot find what they want in their package, just submit something reasonable and respond to whatever they ask for after that.

I have never done before but I am going to learn. I am working with a client that must sell her home with a short sale. However, it took me 3 days of constant calling the bank to talk to someone to give information about doing a short sale through their bank. A receptionist told me to go to the bank's website and pull the short sale package from their site, complete and return. When I opened the website...there was nothing specific that referred me to short sales, forms nor package. It seem such an easy task. Here it is the fourth day, and I'm still looking for those short sale forms. The bank is wearing me down. I've been on the phone holding the line for some to pick up only to be told that they can not help me and that I have the wrong department. I do have a sweet lady for a client and do want to help her. So Monday, I will go directly to the bank until I find the forms that my client must complete. Tell me, do you have any knowledge about where or how to find these short sale forms? Please advise. Maria This is my first short sale attempt. I have never done before but I am going to learn.
