If you are considering buying short sale real estate or foreclosure real estate, it is important to work with a REALTOR who has the experience in these sorts of properties.  Short sale and foreclosure properties are different from traditional homes that are for sale by non-distressed sellers.  A distressed real estate sale can be tricky, and you will want the expertise of a Quicksilver Real Estate agent to help you with all of the "ins and outs" of these transactions:

• Searching the MLS and other sources for foreclosure, short sale, and distressed properties;
• Preparing sold comparables and a Market History Report to aid you in your decision-making process;
• Recommending a offer price that will get you a good deal;
• Aggressively negotiating with the listing agent or bank's listing agent for favorable terms to give you the most control of the transaction;
• Arranging for an experienced title company to review the title abstract to make sure that there are no hidden title problems, tax liens, IRS issues that might surprise you after closing!
• Arranging for skilled and knowledgeable inspectors to inspect the property because most of these homes are sold in "as is" condition;
• Giving you the opportunity to review the Home Owner's Association (HOA) to ensure that there is an adequate budget and reserves, because many distressed properties are part of HOAs that are bankrupt or failing financially;
• Recommending experienced attorneys and CPAs to guide you in your short sale or foreclosure purchase;
• Walking you through the property and the community right before you sign the closing documents, to make sure that nothing has changed with regard to the property after you wrote your offer;
• Reviewing your final closing documents and attending the closing;
