Just because a Realtor is experienced, does not mean that he/she is experienced with short sales. Here’s an example which illustrates the importance of hiring the right real estate agent to handle your short sale.

Las Vegas, NV - February 4, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- Many Nevada homeowners have tried loan modification; however, loan modifications just don’t work. Remember that until you have equity in your house, all you are doing is renting. That's correct! You are renting from the bank! There is no reason to pay off $300,000 in debt when the home you bought is now worth $150,000 or less. Most experts predict that it will take 10-20 years or more for the Las Vegas housing market to rebound. It makes rational sense to walk away and get a fresh start. Surrendering a home worth half of what you owe is not a failure, it's a business decision.
