People assume they need an attorney to handle a short sale.

In many cases, they do not. Most of the time, what they really need is a better understanding of the process. If I know how to get authorization, build the file, and work directly with the bank, I can usually keep the deal moving without turning it into a legal production.

Sometimes an attorney makes sense. But a lot of short sales get overcomplicated just because people do not understand how the process works.
