Press Release: Los Angeles Short Sales Bank Negotiation Expert Launches Nationwide Service For Real Estate Agents

Short sale negotiation firm L.A. City Short Sales launches nationwide service to help real estate agents close more deals and save time by handling bank negotiations for them.

Online PR News – 09-February-2011 –Santa Monica, CA – Short sale negotiation firm L.A. City Short Sales launches nationwide service to help real estate agents close more deals and save time by handling bank negotiations for them.

While she says that handling distressed properties can be a time killer for most real estate professionals, she has proven ways to achieve a much higher success rate than most agents acting alone.

“Our mission is simple: To close more deals between banks, sellers and buyers while removing the headache of the short sale process for referring agents.”

She says that as a result of her firm’s high success rate, agents who refer short sales to her firm L.A. City Short Sales can still earn a great income. Commission splits are generous and vary from 25% for straight referrals to 50/50 co-listing arrangements depending on the experience and desired involvement of the referring agent.

“We work with a lot of agents who have short sale experience and want some involvement in the transaction, but a large percentage of our affiliate agents simply refer their short sale listings to us. We just write them a check when we complete the deal.”

“We work with a lot of agents who have short sale experience and want some involvement in the transaction, but a large percentage of our affiliate agents simply refer short sale listings to us. We just write them a check when we complete the deal.”

Elizabeth Stein of Team Stein in the Pacific Palisades, one of Patillo’s referring agents, agrees. Stein is a believer, and says that for them, there’s no better way to make a living helping people in the reality of today’s difficult real estate market.

“Referring short sale business to Toni has been very rewarding. When I come across a seller that is behind on payments or even a competing agent that needs assistance, she’s the first person I call to step in and save the day for them.”

As an experienced short sale negotiator and expert co-author of the book “Should I Short Sale My Home,” Patillo has an intimate view of the short sale process from the points of view of the distressed property owner, the listing specialist and the negotiating agent. She says her compassion for the seller’s predicament drives her to get the best deal possible from banks.
“With the poor job market and arguably the worst real estate market in history, homeowners who are behind on their mortgage payments and need to sell their home are in a very vulnerable position. It’s easy for them to be taken advantage of, and our job is to help them avoid that.”
