Shortsaleopedia

We were fortunate to have been invited to speak at this year’s Leadscon NYC yesterday as one of five companies featured in their vertical business breakthrough showcase. Here’s Sean’s 6min talk giving an overview of how Shortsaleopedia has evolved and how we work to maximize the most beneficial outcomes for homeowners:

Here is the slide deck on Prezi.

We’re excited to be partnering with Elk Software, the makers of Short Sale Commander. This helps further solidify our coverage of niche markets with top agents as well as strengthen our ability to deliver the best possible outcomes for homeowners. You can read the official partnership announcement in our press section. If you’re a homeowner investigating the options on your distressed property and you haven’t yet taken advantage of our starter kit, use the box on the right to request the kit that’s most appropriate for your situation.


We’re excited to unveil a new feature today that helps support our goal of making the short sale process more transparent and accessible to everyone. We just launched our Resources Wiki which is essentially like a mini Wikipedia for short sale-specific resources. Right now it contains contact info and downloadable forms for all the major banks. It’s editable by anyone with an account on our system and uses the same syntax as Wikipedia.

This new feature allows all members of our community to update information they find to be obsolete or inaccurate as well as add any new useful info they discover. We’ve also enabled comments on these pages to facilitate discussion around each resource. Let us know if you have any feedback or questions about this new feature by clicking the green support button in the lower-right corner of any page on our site.

We’re excited to announce the new & improved Shortsaleopedia.com. We’ve been hard at work incorporating everything we’ve learned over the past six months and are happy to unveil a brand new site built from the ground up to better assist homeowners. Here’s a quick overview of some of the enhancements we’ve made:

Basically all the changes we’ve implemented are designed to help you get the most useful and timely feedback to assist with your situation. Our goal is to provide homeowners with the ultimate set of resources to resolve their financial hardship. Our network of short sale specialists beat the industry close rate for short sales by 220% in 2011. We aim to continue improving that number in 2012. Browse around the new site and leave us a comment to tell us how we can better assist you.
