Do you need an attorney to complete an Orlando Short Sale?

Orlando short sale

Hello folks My name is John Conde with Orlando Realty Consultants and if you’re looking to hire an attorney… then you’re in the wrong place… We’re to talk about Orlando short sales and why you don’t need an attorney to complete a short sale.

John Conde: “first question please…yes,  the young lady with the dread locks”

Question from audience:  “Don’t you need an attorney to do a short sale?
John Conde: “The short answer is … No you do not.”
Now, there are some cases where you would want to consult with an attorney if there’s title issues or if the property’s in probate court, if there’s a Bankruptcy involved,  etc.
Now with that being said, When it comes to attorneys doing Orlando short sales, the truth is that most people just don’t need them.

One of the biggest reasons people go to a short sale realtor instead of an attorney is the cost.
Attorneys can charge you thousands of dollars to do your short sale, where an agent does it for free. The agent only gets paid if the short sale closes, and they get paid by the lender, it doesn’t cost the homeowner a dime….not only that, but most of the time we get you cash back a closing. We’ve gotten our clients anywhere from $3,00 to $30,000.00 back at closing… How’s that for incentive?
John Conde: “Next question?…..Yes sir with the top hat”

Question from audience:  “How does a realtor get paid from a short sale”?
John Conde: “Great question, as opposed to a lawyer that you have to pay upfront,… a real estate agent does not get paid unless the deal closes.
A  good short sale realtor is going to do everything in their power to make the deal happen. Or they don’t get paid… It’s that simple.
I would much rather see a homeowner keep that money to pay bills or put it into their savings instead of turning it over to an attorney.  Watching people throw down thousands of dollars for help they can get elsewhere for free is just sad.
It’s like seeing people suffer from the housing meltdown not once, but twice”.
There are currently thousands of Orlando homeowners that are looking for help with their situation. And I’m not Gonna stand here and sugar coat things…. The process isn’t just hard, It’s scary. We’re talking about potentially getting kicked out of your home. This is why it’s crucial that you get help from a proven Orlando Short sale Expert.

Short Sale Specialists vs Real Estate Agents

Like any profession in the world, there are specialists in every field… Orlando short sales are no different. If you’ve ever attempted to do a short sale, you know that not only can things get frustrating but the situation can change at a moment’s notice without any warning whatsoever. You could be negotiating with a lender for weeks or even months then finally get your approval letter with the buyer lined up and ready to go, etc. Then all of a sudden WHAM!… the loan just got sold to another lender and all of your hard work is gone… just like that.

As short sale realtors, we have to follow very detailed instructions as laid out by the lender. The problem is that these instructions can sometimes be ever-changing and you have to be flexible enough to roll with the changes… it’s kinda like trying to hit a moving target.

The 2nd worst part of a situation like this is that the real estate agent handling the short sale will usually get blamed [out of ignorance] by not only the seller but the buyer and the buyer’s agent as well. I know this because it’s happened to me more times than I care to remember. A true short sale specialist will or should handle a situation like this with patience, persistence, and grace. Also, a good short-sale agent can’t be the type of person that is easily discouraged or they won’t get anywhere in this “dog eat dog” profession.

They call us “specialists” for many reasons. It’s not just about getting the short sale done, it’s about educating everyone involved along the way on what’s going on and why. We’ve been Negotiating Orlando short sales since 2004 [before it was even in style] and we understand what a stressful time the homeowner is going through which is why we maintain good communication with them and keep them informed every step of the way. Even if nothing happens inside any given week during the process, our clients get a weekly update regardless if there was any progress with their file or not.

The way I see it, If a distressed homeowner had enough trust in our company to hand us over control over their short sale listing, then we owe it to them to get the job done, and get it done in a timely and professional manner, after all… we’re not just real estate agents, we are short sale specialists and that’s something that we’re very proud of.
