Your target for a 'specialist' is critical; short sales are a very complex portion of the industry and it will be extremely beneficial for you to be partnered with a very experienced (specifically in short sales) agent.

Morning,

There are homes available in the area and I'm sure you'll get plenty of agents willing to work with you. Going for a short sale will require patience. What I've found on the homes that I've been working with clients on is that the homes are out on the market at a reduced rate to get bids to see what the bank will go for. When I asked one agent how he did his pricing he told me that he used the lowest price in the area and by doing so got a lot of hits=new clients. If I can be of help please email me.

Kris,
There are plenty of short sales and foreclosures out there today in the market. I can set you up on email notification for any properties out there meeting your criteria and any new ones as they come on the market. Just let me know your criteria. I'll be glad to help.
