Micheal Briel says these are thing a realtor should never do while working on a short sale:

1. Never discuss tax questions.  Refer the home owner to a CPA or any tax professional
2. Never assume it will close in less than 4 to 6 months

Michael Briel says a realtor should always do these things when working on a short sale:

1.  If you negotiate your own short sale - make sure your E&O covers you.
2. Attend the short sale appointment (at Michael Briel's office) with your customer
3. Remind your buyers and seller that a short sale is a process, not an event

I cannot thank his office enough for their valuable information at our training this morning.
