Well I can honestly say that on the listing side I certainly have not done a hundred as you have. Over a hundred short sales in the past year is quite impressive I must say. On the selling agent side, representing the buyer, I do not have any control over what activity the listing agent does or does not get done with the negotiator. As far as the short sale process, your implication that there is little documentation at all that is required from sellers while my experience is different. My experience also is that a notice of default has been recorded. Perhaps yours is different as well. Also my experience has been mixed with regards to the lender requiring a note to cover the deficiency, some do and some don’t. So while your experiences are different, the is nothing invalid or misleading about what I wrote contrary to your implications.

It would be interesting to hear what the other realtors experience is with regards to the short sales as well.
