FACT: Only 25% of Short Sales close due to the Scattershot approach used by most agents who are not properly trained. The truth is that most agents who are attempting short sales both on the listing and buying side have NO training and if they have some training it is simply not enough training. The short sale process requires an expertise like no other.
