Our expert California short sale negotiators focus on one goal: closing your short sale quickly and efficiently. We handle your documents, flag any missing items, and keep you updated throughout the approval process.
Secure and Convenient
You don’t have to worry about your client’s confidential information getting into the wrong hands. Our password-protected online system keeps all information secure and easily accessible.
Consistently Up-to-Date
We stay current with the latest updates from the California Association of REALTORS® and the Department of Real Estate, ensuring your short sale always complies with the latest laws, policies, and banking information.
How Short Sales Work
A short sale allows a homeowner to sell a property for less than what’s owed on the mortgage, with lender approval, offering an alternative to foreclosure.
The process though is anything but simple. Short sales often require 3–6 months of back-and-forth with lenders, hundreds of phone calls, and intricate documentation. That’s where we come in.
Learn MoreWith decades of experience and thousands of closed short sales, we know how to:
- Reach the right lender decision-makers
- Package documents for faster approval
- Spot potential pitfalls before they cost time or money
Partnering with Short Sale Expeditor® means you control the transaction, protect your clients, and close deals faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work directly with homeowners?
Mostly, we work through agents. However, if you don’t already have an agent, we can be a partner in agent selection by recommending a trusted professional to guide you through the process.
When should a short sale begin?
The earlier the better. Ideally at least 90 days before a scheduled foreclosure; in some cases, we can work with as little as one month’s notice.
Do you charge upfront fees?
No. We only earn a fee if the deal closes
Why should I hire Short Sale Expeditor® instead of handling it myself?
Short sales are complex. We’ve closed thousands, know lender systems inside and out, and help agents avoid costly mistakes while saving time and protecting clients.
