Keys to Understanding Short Sales

Our very own Realtor Paul Surles will be participating on a panel of short sale experts in the Kansas City market on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 for members of the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors (KCRAR).  Working with short sales is one of the hottest topics in real estate today and this is sure to provide practical short sale tips for Kansas City-area Realtors.  Following are topics to be discussed:

  • Buyer issues, such as presenting multiple offers, expectations, etc.
  • Short sale procedures for some of the major lenders in our area
  • Seller issues, such as credit, possible ongoing financial obligations to lender, expectations, etc.
  • Educating buyers and sellers about short sales, including the estimated timeline from offer to closing and the approval process for short sale offers.
  • Broker Price Opinion ( BPO ) preparation, the importance of listing at fair market value and encouraging lenders to obtain other valuable opinions at the time of listing rather than after an offer.

Paul Surles’ short sale experience includes being a listing agent, buyer’s agent and investor.  To find out more about Paul Surles, visit www.PaulSurles.com or contact him directly about helping you with a short sale at 913-488-7588 or Paul@PaulSurles.com.  For local Kansas City real estate investment property visit www.MetroREOSales.com.  More information about the panel discussion and to sign-up can be found at www.kcrar.com.
