Top 5 Ways a Short Sale Realtor Can Save You Time & Stress

Thinking of doing a short sale? You might be wondering: “Can’t I just handle it myself—or use a general agent?”
Here’s the truth: short sales are complex. If you choose the wrong agent—or try to DIY—you could face months of delays, lost deals, and unnecessary stress.

According to the National Association of Realtors, only 1 in 5 general agents feel fully confident handling a short sale—and even fewer stay up-to-date on changing lender requirements. 

That’s why working with a short sale expert—especially one who uses AI to streamline the process—can save you time, money, and a ton of headaches.

What Is a Short Sale Realtor?
A short sale Realtor is a licensed agent with experience in handling sales where the homeowner owes more than the property’s value. They know:
✅ How to negotiate with lenders
✅ How to manage court or probate steps (if needed)
✅ How to avoid common delays
✅ How to attract the right buyers for short sales
