  FIND A SHORT SALE LISTING AGENT IN PALM DESERT CA / PALM DESERT SHORT SALE REAL ESTATE AGENT / SHORT SALE REALTOR PALM DESERT CA   It is easy for Palm Desert CA home sellers to find many listing real estate agents to list their Palm Desert CA home, but if you need to find a Palm Desert short sale listing agent, the task will be more difficult. A short sale real estate agent does much more than take pictures and put your Palm Desert home in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and put a sign in the yard.   The Palm Desert CA short sale agent also handles negotiations with your bank or banks. If your Palm Desert real estate agent has no experience dealing with short sales, loss mitigation and bank negotiators, you, the seller, may suffer. Most of our real estate home listings and sales ha...
