I used to use a company, but now I do it internally. I find that when I outsource things, I end up managing them as if they were poor employees. I may as well manage my own employees.

Anne,
I just don't think anyone will do a good job. I incorrectly used to think that you could pay someone to do it for you. Unfortunately, no one but you is knowledgeable enough with the details to negotiate.

I was once told.....If you have recognized an area in investments that you either need help or can free yourself up to focus on your strenghts than outsourcing is an answer.

I think you have to get pretty big and powerful (like trump) before you can hire a negotiator for you.
I outsource much of the short sale follow up. I have a full time assistant that does the leg work. Even though I outsource it, I have to manage it. My only point is that outsourcing to someone that you do not know to negotiate for you is an exercise in futility (in my humble opinion - as someone who has actually tried it).

Hi Gang,
My name is Cory Boatright. I own a company that provides outsourcing for short sales. My wife is a Realtor and I am an investor. My company completed over 2.2 million dollars in debt reduction in March of 2008.

If you're interested, I can recommend someone who actually made the decisions on whether a short sale got accepted or not. He no longer works at the bank...he makes a living doing short sales. You can PM me for more information.
