Verbiage on website concern

This is kind of an awkward question to ask, and I'm somewhat hesitant to do so, but I'm going to anyway. Basically, I'm using a kind of "packaged" website, I guess you could say, in which there is content built into the pages. I like the content, but some of the verbiage concerns me a bit. Specifically, it indicates that I'm even able to help sellers who owe more than the house is worth, and will therefore negotiate with the lender (in other words, as I understand it, attempt a short sale). The problem is that I'm not sure if I AM, in fact, willing to attempt a short sale, especially as a beginner. In fact, I'm not even sure of the legality of it at this time!

The question, therefore, is whether or not I should just remove that text. The obvious answer is "yes," but I also don't want to make it sound like I'm not willing to help (as in buy from) distressed sellers, because of course I am, and to be in this business, HAVE to be. While I certainly don't want to commit false advertising, do you think there's anyway to "finesse" it so that if someone who's underwater does contact me, I can kind of gracefully back out of that particular deal? Hope that makes sense.

Thank you!
