The following is the addendendum mentioned in my article the law as applicable to Short Sale in San Diego.
C.A.R. RELEASES NEW SHORT SALE LISTING ADDENDUM
The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS(r) (C.A.R.) released yesterday
a new standard-form Short Sale Listing Addendum (SSL). Listing agents
may attach this addendum to their listing agreements to advise sellers

Short Sale Listing Addendum include the following:
- Advises that the seller may be required to bring in funds to close
escrow or to obtain lenders' agreement to accept less than what's
owed.
- Advises that alternatives to a short sale may be more appropriate,
such as refinancing, bankruptcy, or foreclosure, depending on the
seller's own circumstances.
- Authorizes the listing agent to advertise a property as a short sale.
- Authorizes the listing agent to contact lenders concerning their
approval of a short sale.
- Advises the seller that a short sale has possible tax, credit, and
other legal consequences. "

California Short Sale addendum from the California Association of Realtor
The following is an addendum from the California Association of Realtors. It seems designed to notify homeowners they may actually be hurt by short sales. California has a complex legal framework which is designed to protect homeowners from deficiency judgments. These same laws may operate to protect Californians from tax liablity. Oddly, in many situations it may be better for the homeowner to accept a foreclosure rather than agree to a short sale.
Unfortunately far too many Realtors have been imporperly advising homeowners to short sale their property.
The following California Association of Realtors short sale addendum seems designed to advise homeowners to review other options before agreeing to a short sale. In my opinion, the addendum also puts limits on Realtors activities in this area of pre-foreclosure solutions.
In my opinion Realtors are on notice that they may only adverstise short sales and they may only "seek approval" of the sale from the lender. Conspicuous by their absence are the words, negotiate, represent or other words Realtors have been using to cover up the fact they have been practicing law in short sale transactions.
