Many Agents walk away from short sale deals because:Homeowners owe too much.Their expectations of the price is too high.Market times are too long.Little room for commissions.Just don’t do short sales.Don’t know how to do short sales.Can’t submit a short sale without an offer.Illegal for an Agent to represent a seller on a short sale in some states.Often lose out because a prospective buyer won’t wait for the short sale transaction.Banks want Agents to cut their commission rate.In some states a Realtor runs the risk of being accused of acting as an attorney without a license when they represent a seller on a short sale.Although a small number of Realtors actually do short sales, I’ve heard they’d rather have a root canal!

In florida, you can't have access without having a license (or some agent in your pocket which for the record is totally against the rules and comes with nasty fines if you ever get caught.)As for doing the course and taking the test but not getting a license, it seems like thats just like going to a bar, buying a girl a drink, driving her to your place and then telling her you aren't interested.

What do you guys/girls have in mind?

There are places meant for that like schools and Boys and Girls Club.
