How do I find a capable agent to list a potential short sale in Bonita?
The agents I've spoken to want to charge extra for the services of a negotiator. Do I really need a negotiator to get the property sold? The bank already has my info, has appraised the property and said to go ahead with a short sale at the appraisal price.
It's ILLEGAL for a real estate agent to charge upfront for negotiating a short sale.
Our commission is payment and in our listing agreements, It is more work than a traditional sale.
No agent should charge the buyer or seller for a negotiator and even if they make that part of a listing disclosure, it should be struck out and initialled.
You should work with an experienced agent that would help by informing you and negotiating you around those issues.
If I can answer any of your questions feel free to contact me, I am an experienced agent in short sales and have listings in Bonita Springs.

We have many different ways for short sale solutions, most at no cost to the seller, and an agent should never charge the seller, a commission will be paid out of the proceeds the bank agrees upon to the agent. Please consult with an experienced agent who has done a minium of 10-20 short sales successfully and has references. I would like to discuss with you my opinion about how to proceed. You may want to look for a couple of other opinions as well before you decide. My contact information is on my website below.
Danielle is right on the money. My team has completed many short sales in the past couple of years. I would be happy to speak with you in more detail about the short sale process at our office here in Bonita Springs.

It's ILLEGAL for a real estate agent to charge upfront for negotiating a short sale. Our commission is payment enough, even if it is more work than a traditional sale. Some agents will hire the negotiator out and charge a buyer a fee or charge the bank for those services. A negotiator is not a necessity as long as your agent has experience. If your lender has already approved it, all of that work is done so there is no real reason you should have to pay a fee.
