I have one bank that I absolutely adore working with, which accounts for about 10% or less annually. Short sales are very rare these days and there has to be a real good reason for me to do one. Otherwise, fortunately it's all equity sales.

For the past few years, zero.  For a few years, from 2007-2010, it was probably 50% since I was co-listing with another agent REOs for Indymac Bank.  

And, for the record, despite what the media may have you believe,  our experience was that in every case except one these were people who were gaming the system - renting out the properties, collecting rent from tenants and not ever making the first mortgage payment.  In those days, it took a very long time to get foreclosed on, so there was plenty of money to be had.  The people who were evicted (rarely) or to whom we offered "cash for keys" were the victims, NOT the homeowners.  It was a real eye opener.

Bank owned or REo are = foreclosures. Shortsales are pre-foreclosures.

Thank God none since 2011. I've had 2 on the brink of short sale since then, managed to sell them both with enough gain to cover in the end.

2006-2011, 99% were REO & Pre-foreclosures though and I had to become an expert in them to survive.
