How Real Estate Agents Can Win with Short Sale Listings

Posted on 30. Sep, 2025 by ctlms in Foreclosures, My Blog, Short Sale

The Challenge of Short Sale Listings

If you’ve taken on a short sale listing, you already know the challenge. Convincing a lender to accept less than what’s owed is complicated, time-consuming, and often frustrating. On top of managing your client relationship, you’re suddenly expected to become a negotiator, legal document preparer, and loss mitigation expert.

That’s where many short sales fall apart—agents burn out, buyers lose patience, and lenders drag their feet.

Why Partnering with a Short Sale Expert Matters

Instead of juggling every moving part yourself, you can focus on selling the property and let an experienced team handle the lender negotiations.

Loss Mit Services, Connecticut’s first licensed debt negotiation company (NMLS #828273), has built its business on helping agents succeed with short sales. Here’s what they bring to the table:

  • Dedicated Negotiation Team – They deal directly with the lender, so you don’t have to spend hours on hold or resubmitting the same paperwork.
  • Compliance & Credibility – Licensed and regulated, they know how to structure a file that lenders will actually approve.
  • No Cost to You or Your Client – They’re paid through the transaction, not out of pocket, which means you and your seller get full support without added expense.
  • Protecting Your Reputation – By outsourcing negotiations, you can confidently tell your client their case is in the hands of specialists.

How the Process Works for Agents

Working with Loss Mit Services is simple:

  1. List the Property – Do what you do best: market and find a qualified buyer.
  2. Bring Them In – Once you know the deal with be short, even before there is an offer, Loss Mit Services steps in to determine the facts and strategize the sale and negotiations with the lender.
  3. Stay in the Loop – They keep you updated while they push the file through approvals.
  4. Close More Deals – Instead of spending months wrestling with banks, you can focus on new listings and clients.

Why This Partnership Benefits You

  • More Closings – Faster approvals mean more deals that actually make it to the closing table.
  • Happier Clients – Your sellers avoid foreclosure, protect their credit, and are grateful for your guidance.
  • Professional Edge – By aligning with a licensed debt negotiator, you can take on listings other agents may avoid.

Final Word for Agents

Short sales don’t have to be a headache—or a deal killer. With Loss Mit Services as your negotiation partner, you can confidently take on short sale listings, knowing the lender side is covered.

That means more listings, more closings, and more satisfied clients—without burning yourself out on the phone with banks.

Our company Loss Mit Services and Sean Wilder is not the same as Loss Mitigation Services, LLC out of Massachusetts.

Over the last couple years, I have heard several times that agents have been contacted by another company with a very similar company name trying to solicit the agent to hire them to negotiate the agent's short sale listing.  In some instances, the agent believes that the company they were speaking with was Loss Mit Services and that Sean Wilder would be negotiating their short sale.

I have been told that when directly asked if Sean Wilder is with the company, the question is either deflected or a vague answer is given.  I have even worked with an agent that came to me, months after starting work with this other company, not realizing that she was not working with us.  After months of not hearing from me, or being able to speak with me, she realized she was not working with me.  At that time, she reached out to me and upon researching the file, we learned it was now too late as foreclosure was imminent. This is very disheartening.

I do not know how many other instances like this are out there.  But I have heard enough stories to know there are plenty.

My staff and I have worked very hard over the last 12 years to maintain a superior image of competence and professionalism.   I am not one to meddle in other people's businesses and have chosen not to address this issue for quite some time in order to "stay out of other people's business".  I honestly regret to even have to address this issue.

Today I learned that this company has been Charged in Massachusetts for crimes related to their short sale business.  So I need to make it clear that there is no relation between us and this company in Massachusetts.    Below are links to two articles related to the pending charges.

We pride ourselves on our ethics, morals and professionalism and I need to make it clear that we are in no way associated with this company or their acts.

Your comments or experiences on this matter are welcome.  Thank you

View our 3-Hours of live short sale training videos.

In August 2018 we conducted a live 3-hour training event for all real estate professionals.  We had over 150 attendees including real estate agents, paralegals, attorneys and mortgage originators.  It was a great event.  Many people that wanted to attend were not able to do so due to other conflicts.

Well, we had the event professional recorded and broke down the event into 20 digestible video clips, organized by topic.  We've posted these videos on our website and our Facebook page.  You can click here to view the videos on our Facebook page or click the Videos tab at the top of the page to view them here on our website.
