Is it a good idea to get an agent if you are doing short sales?
I know that you want an agent to list the property for you when you are trying to sell, but what about when you are looking for the short sales? If you do get one how do you get them to let you take over negotiations with the bank if it is thier listing? Also how do I get them to let me have the owner sign the release agreement that let's me speak to the bank on their behalf? I talked to an agent and he said his broker would have to ok everything and might not go for the release agreement.
