Realtor Group Cites Lack of Expertise a Major Trigger of Legal Disputes over Short Sale Transactions


(PRWEB) September 01, 2011

A current survey performed by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) concluded that a lack of realtor education in the negotiation and disposition of short sales is causing a flurry of lawsuits.

According to Raffi Tal, EVP, I Short Sale, Inc., The short sale niche for realtors could be a bottomless pit unless they genuinely know what theyre performing. Negotiating a lender-authorized sales cost, compiling a full documentation package and following all disclosure suggestions is unfamiliar territory for most actual estate agents. He continued, Its undoubtedly in the realtors very best interest to seek out knowledgeable quick sale negotiators with the knowledge necessary to manage the heavy lifting otherwise, as this survey clearly demonstrates, they might put themselves in legal jeopardy.

With help from both the federal and private sectors, brief sale transactions are projected to exceed 250,000 in 2011, a 25% enhance more than the previous years. The governments House Affordable Foreclosure Option (HAFA) system continues to remove restrictions to make the brief sale choice a lot more desirable, and lenders proprietary brief sale programs are outpacing the governments applications with 113,000 recorded quick sales in the 1st quarter alone. Real estate agents find themselves unprepared for these complex negotiations and disclosure specifications that involve the lender, distressed borrower and purchaser. Not surprisingly, the outcome has fueled a spike in litigation over mishandled transactions. The very best way for realtors to stay away from expensive litigation, Tal states, is to have a strategic partnership with a short sale negotiator that has a track record of good results managing the complexities of the quick sale procedure.”

When you look at all of the dynamics, its simple to see why its in everyones best interest to bring in a short sale specialist, Tal concluded.
