The Short Sale Document Checklist

The Short Sale Document Checklist should be used with each and every appointment you go on to help you keep track of documents you’ll need to get from the seller. The “Transmittal Sheets” help to keep track of which documents are being sent to our Loss Mitigation Group at LRA and have proven very effective. The New Short Sale Information Sheet is used by agents with LRA as a tool to keep track of the basic data needed on an upcoming Short Sale to be processed.

The Hardship Letter Worksheet

I recommend that you print out a blank copy of the Hardship Letter Worksheet to use when you meet with your Distressed Sellers. You should be the one to fill in the different sections of the Worksheet during the question phase of the appointment and once completed go ahead and give them (your sellers) a blank pad of paper and the completed worksheet and instruct them to write it out in their own handwriting.
