With short sales everywhere and the need for short sales growing on a daily basis, the number of short sales coaching and short sale experts is also growing.
Yes, I do believe that is an excellent time to invest in real estate. But I also caution you that it is an excellent time to be sure that you are getting the advice of seasoned real estate coaches. You really want to be sure you are talking with people who have weathered some markets so they can give you the best possible advice.
While looking for your coach, don’t be fooled. Just because he or she has letters behind his/her name doesn’t make him/her an expert. Ask questions and get to know her/him. Many people have taken classes and been certified but have never made a transaction.
Here are some questions that you might ask when meeting with your coach. If he or she is great at what he or she does, he/she will be able to answer these questions.
• How long have you been doing short sales?
• What lenders/services do you work with? Those you like best and why?
• What was your worst short sale?
• What was your best short sale?
• How many successful short sales you have negotiated?
