- Working Short Sales is certainly not a glamorous job.
- Short Sales don't pay very well (at least in my area).
- Short Sales are hard work.
- Short Sales can be very frustrating.
- Short Sales take a long time to get approved and closed.
Would I still work Short Sales if I had it to do all over again? Absolutely!!!! And here are a few reasons why..........
My husband and I currently live just outside of Manchester, New Hampshire. We owned a house in Haines City, FL that we’d been trying to sell for over two years, but to no avail. After having it listed with three different agents with not so much as a single offer, our next option was foreclosure which would have devastated our credit! While doing a search online, I stumbled upon Bryant’s website which talked about alternatives to foreclosure, one of which was The Short Sale. Bryant Tutas saved us from having to go into foreclosure! He worked very hard for me and my husband and got the bank to accept the short sale! Less than 4 months later, from start to finish, we closed!!! Bryant was a God send to us and we would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to sell their home! – Lara and Dan
Bryant, I want to thank you for all the help you provided in a professional manner. The short sell went well considering all the negotiations you had to do with First Horizon and Etrade. The end result saved us money and I hope some of our credit rating. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone interested in purchasing a home or doing a short sell.
Best Regards to you in the future,
David and Sara
When we first met Bryant we were at the point of total despair and we were seriously contemplating walking away from our home, but Bryant calmed our fears and explained to us the option to do a short sale, which is a better avenue than going into forecloseure. Just a short two months later Bryant got the bank to accept an offer. Our house was sold and most importantly we saved our credit. My wife and I now have a second chance to make it right this time. Thanks Bryant for all your hard work and dedication to us.
Sincerely, Vanessa and Garry
It's a tough job but someone has to do it!!! Do yo have what it takes?

Baby...
I thought we work short sales because they let us play with the farm animals and ride the donkey :)
TLW...ROAR!
"Bryant Tutas saved us"
Nuff said!

Good stuff Bryant - testimonials from your folks who truly appreciate all your time, effort and all for less money. TLW - you just make me smile -
BTW Bryant - I loved you video about the seller and your counter offer.
If one of my clients or someone they referred me to wanted me to help them do a short sale, I probably would, and for the same reason you would, Bryant. But I won't actively search them out, that's for sure!
Bless you.
Robin
Congratulations to you on making this work for you! Those testimonials are the reason for any one to conduct business in an honest upfront manner. My hat's off to you guys.
Inspirational to say the least. Nice work, not surprised.
Hi BB - I agree that it is frustrating and at times depressing, but no clients are more grateful for our help than the folks who have been saved from foreclosure or other sure financial disasters by our helping them through a short sale. Very rewarding in other than cash.
It's all about the people in the end BB. You are helping many out there that need your skills and abilities.
It's IS hard work...and that's the small of it. The rest is all worthwhile from those rewarding words.
Bryant - I have my sleeves rolled up every day fighting for short sales for my sellers! Bring it on!
BB, great job you are doing, these people need someone like you on their side, that is more than obvious!
BB- Are those really farm animals? or did the petting zoo bus get a flat tire? Love the pic. And yes, people need help, and we should help them.
There are people who will not go anywhere near a short sale, I will and will continue to do so in order to help those who are in need! Thank you BB, great post!
Hi Bryant, nothing better than a letter substantiating what your clients already know. Nice post. I like the donkey too TLW! Nice post.
BB, you are so right that it is not glamorous (at least, I haven't seen a Hollywood movie on it yet), hard work, and we get to see most everything raw and out in the open. Must not be any gators in the lake near that home! John
You definitely can get referrals for life when working short sales. I am always up for a challenge, so they (short sales) are perfect for me!
Bryant, testimonials like that make you feel really good and gives some purpose to our profession. Nice work.
Bryant - Rock on !!! We have had very similar stories recently with similar testimonials. I always say one more short sale is one less foreclosure ! Thanks for sharing these personal success stories. They are a lot of hard work but one take a lot of personal satisfaction out of the process. It makes out all worthwhile.
On a side note, I need to get back on the website that you started regarding Short Sales. I registered but have not had a chance to be interactive as of yet. Is it too late ?
Bryant,
You take the load off their shoulders and help them through a difficult time in their lives. They appreciate you and all your hard work as these testimonials show.
BRYANT,
BECAUSE THEY NEED US! and that's enough for me.
Short sales. Oh what fun. They didn't teach us that in pre-license class. You are doing a great job at helping people out.
Why... Because in this period of history.... this is the cause, this is the commitment, this is the right thing to do!
Love the photo... seriously, it is great that you have tesimonials from the folks you have helped. Short sales are tough to sell but your reward speaks for itself.
I often wonder why I inspect foreclosures. I have yet to find one in anything resembling reasonable condition.
Testimonials speak volumes. Being able to help folks is the intrinsic beauty of this business. Good for you, Bryant!
Hi Bryant... You are absolutely on target! I have been working for my short sale sellers for over 5 years now and the kind thank you notes, tears and hugs at the closing tables and clients telling me that they prayed for help and that they were convinced that I had been sent to them as an answer to their prayers more than make up for an additional work or reduced commission I may have to accept as a part of the type of career I have chosen. I sleep well at night knowing that I made a difference in my clients' lives.
BB,
Even though you greatly helped the sellers in these testimonials. I strongly suspect that the buyers of these same properties would also praise your professionalism and ability to get the deal done. You made a huge and positive impact on the lives of 2 families in each transaction!
Bryant, I think of short sales as a type of community service. Yes we're being paid, but often our commission has been reduced, and it is at least three times (maybe 10 times!) as arduous to get a short sale to closing than a normal sale. The more homes we can save from being abandoned, the better off our neighborhoods, local government, state government and economy will be.

Bryant Thanks for validating one of the most important reasons for doing short sales: to help people in distress.
In spite of the frustrations, etc...when we do close a short sale, there is such an overwhelming wave of relief and gratitude. And all the folks I've helped sell their homes as short sales also tell me that when they are back on their feet again, and are able to buy, they will come to me. And in the meantime, if someone they know is looking for a realtors, they said they will always refer me.
THAT is our reward.
Bryant, I'm with you 100% There is nothing better than experiencing the why of doing Short Sales. I need to elaborate on my blog and not take over on your post. It is momentous the "why"!
