My questions on the short sale process are as follows:1) Assuming that all parties are working toward the sell of the home to the buyer, once the seller has agreed to the purchase, is it standard to request bi-weekly updates from the seller's realtor on the short sale progress, even though the banks/lenders hold the key to the approval process?

In my market in Milwaukee, WI I've seen some steady declines in my farm area.

@Aaron Ram any updates on your progress.

GOOD Realtors are always looking for steady business.

Good luck with the rehab and hope you would post the progress soon.

Typically I set some goals that I try to achieve each week and track my progress that way.Weekly goals are 1. 50 direct mailings - absentee, probate, vacant houses, etc2.

I do have a small buyers list...very small, but I do have some buyers so I progressing.

You can always ask more questions as your studies progress, we will put two cents worth in anytime.

Should call people to action.If you don't have a steady stream of leads you're out of business.

I like to ask it in a natural progression with my other questions so it flows with the conversation.
