EDUCATE, and INFORM your clients on what a Short Sale is and entails. Then you need to let the lenders know you are experienced in the process of short sales. If you are not, you should point out other advantages of using you for their service. I would use a newsletter maybe instead of a postcard. I would write about unscrupulous investors who may pray upon them if they know that they are facing foreclosure. You may want to let them know that NOTS (notice of trustee sale) is a public document that anyone can find if they know how. Explain all the advantages of a Short Sale, and the disadvantages of a Short Sale. In the end your must make them feel that Short Sale is their best option. Either the lender or the seller should feel that they are better off. Lenders will not lose as much money as if they had to foreclose. Sellers would be free of the monthly mortgage, although tax consequences could still apply, however that might not be as bad a foreclosure on their record. There is so much involved in a short sale. You can email if you like ulisesromo29@yahoo.com and we can discuss any questions you may still have. Good luck.

Joe I think you could do this with your eyes closed!  You have helped me out numerous times with my Short Sale questions.  How about one on how to buy a Short Sale, I think the most important point is that a Short Sale is not an REO and low balling will not get your client the property.  Qualifying for a Short Sale, Seller information.  You could blog on the new bill to stop the 1099C... Good luck and let me know when your blogs are up because I would love to read them.
