This beautiful 4 bedroom 4.5 bath single family home listed as a short sale went to settlement yesterday morning. Jan and Steve Bachman were the listing agents.
Short sales are very challenging and you as a seller will need patience and perseverance to work through the process. It took 5 months of negotiating with the bank and buyers, to get this to settlement.
Kudos to Ekko title in Vienna VA for outstanding support work. They have become our "go to" company for short sale transactions.
Folks who are contemplating a short sale always wonder why it takes so long. Well.... Most bank short sale officers have over 250 cases they are handling at the same time.
The burden is great and the resources banks are assigning to short sales are not great.
Not a good system but it is what it is and you need agents who understand the process and pitfalls.
If you are thinking about selling your property in the future, we would love the opportunity to interview for the job.
Below is an example of part of our online marketing campaign that brought a buyer in 23 days.
The buyer was great and understood the process and had the patience to catch a great house at an awesome price.

Just listed,this 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath beauty has over 4400 finished square feet and resides on a cul-de-sac backing to acres of open space leading to the community pool, tennis courts and play ground.
Purchased brand new in 2005 for $830K at the height of the Northern Virginia price boom, you can now get this amazing home for hundreds of thousands less as a short sale.
Short SALE? Don't be afraid....My wife is exactly the kind of diligent, detailed real estate agent who will get this through.
The short sale package has been submitted, the bank's short negotiator identified and contacted AND we will be using one of the best local short sale negotiators around to assist us in making this a successful transaction: Ekko Title. Their short sale track record is awesome.
Folks are often worried about the condition of short sale properties...don't worry. This home looks as good as its pictures.
Let's take a look at the property web site below. Personally....I prefer the photo gallery view , since the pictures don't pan....and the scene is not cropped.
