The past few years have been challenging for real estate professionals. The plummeting economy and damaged housing market has left many realtors in the field financially strapped and in some cases with damaged reputations through no fault of their own.

Financial institutions, having played fast and loose with mortgages, assignments, appraisals, securitization, and credit default swaps have tainted what was once a lucrative and honorable industry.

Millions of homeowners find themselves under water, owing more than their home is worth – a home you may have sold them. Many of you have been approached by clients with nowhere else to turn and in desperate need of assistance.

While offers of modifications and short sales by lenders and servicers may appear to be reasonable and sometimes lucrative solutions, in most cases these "deals" could potentially do more damage to your client's credit and finances – a deficiency judgment on a short sale, for example, could follow them for decades.

Obstacles for realtors include:

• The foreclosure occurs before you can make a deal work.
• Commissions are discounted by lenders.
• No written offers to bring to the bank.
• Lenders are unresponsive.
• The process takes so long the potential buyer backs out.
• Wasted time and effort on deals that don't close.
• Lenders are unrealistic on the asking price.
