Hello, This is Shawn Polston of Tuscon Short Sale here to answer another frequently asked question of people in the short sale business. And that question is, "Shawn, How do you get paid for doing a short sale?" Well first it is important to know that your first meeting and consultation is entirely free and gives you a chance to ask any short sale questions you have. It is always important to feel comfortable and confidient that you understand the process before starting a short sale and that is what I am here for. A short sale follows the same process as buying and selling any other home, so a short sale agent gets paid just like a normal real estate agent. Your lender understands the best way to get the most for your house is by finding the real estate agent who can sell it at the best price in the shortest amount of time. Because of this the lender will pay fee’s on the sale of the house regardless of whether it is a short sale or normal foreclosure. The difference is that in a short sale the money made by your short sale agent is paid by the lender and nothing will come out of your pocket. I hope this answers some questions on the subject and if you have any more feel free to call or go online and I’ll be happy to help. I look forward to speaking with you and hearing the details of your situation. Once you contact me we can decided if a short sale is right for you. Thanks for tuning in and have a great day.
