How this works

Work with the seller's trusted agent, not around them

A California homeowner may already have a REALTOR® they trust. With the seller's authorization and appropriate broker cooperation, Gary may be able to assist the agent with the short-sale process. The listing relationship stays with you. Short Sale Deal Maker does not suggest bypassing an existing agency agreement, and it is not a substitute for the listing agent's own obligations to the client.

Gary's distressed-property experience spans short-sale work since 2007, more than 100 REO listings, BPO and valuation assignments, foreclosure-related transactions, and lender-facing negotiation strategy. For the agent carrying a California short-sale file, that experience is available as support: what to file, how to document the hardship, how to price the property credibly, and how to move a stalled file forward.

Ways Gary can help with the file

  • File review and short-sale package organization
  • BPO and valuation strategy for supportable pricing
  • Documentation guidance and hardship-package review
  • Lender-process coaching and escalation strategy
  • Junior lien, HELOC, HOA lien and title-issue guidance
  • Transaction support for buyer-side agents and offer timing

Support is subject to the seller's authorization, the agency relationships in place, applicable licensing requirements, brokerage supervision, and the facts of the file. Nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice.

Has the seller authorized this inquiry? *

Gary assists with the short-sale process only with the seller's authorization and appropriate broker cooperation, and never by bypassing an existing agency agreement.

Leave blank if not scheduled or unknown.

Requesting assistance does not create an agency relationship, guarantee lender approval, or postpone a foreclosure or trustee sale. This website does not provide legal, tax or financial advice. Your information is handled according to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Are you the homeowner, not the agent?

If you own the property and want a confidential read on whether a short sale is worth evaluating, the homeowner review is the right starting point. No value, loan balance, or hardship details are required to start.
