Vanessa Liddell, Realtor (Specialist in Short Sales & Negotiating)  

Vanessa has enjoyed a career of over 35 years in the real estate industry, involving herself in   almost every aspect of the real estate business, from title and escrow to training, coaching and educating.  Currently she is a full time agent with Real Estate Xperts, Inc., located in Fullerton, CA. 

Vanessa’s background of detail and process has allowed her to create a model of exemplary service, especially for those clients involved in distressful situations; a market which Vanessa caters to. 

In 2006, when the market slowly began to change, Vanessa was approached to help create a short sale processing company.  At that time short sales were not even on the bank’s radar and therefore very confusing and many times frustrating.  However, even in the infancy of this new market she was able to create, manage and ultimately be involved in the process of hundreds of short sales from all over the country.  She also co-authored the first California DRE approved short sale course which was taught to hundreds of California agents during the California Association of Realtors S.W.A.T. programs.  She is still actively involved in these state-wide programs. 

From the experience of working with agents struggling to understand their role in the short sale, Vanessa decided to leave her processing company and began teaching agents with a nationally recognized organization.  In a short period of less than 2 years, Vanessa travelled across the country training more than 7000 agents in the short sale process.   

Missing her home and family, in 2010, Vanessa left the Austin based company and returned to California. Since then has dedicated herself to personally educating fellow agents and assisting homeowners in distress.  She also has been a featured speaker for many real estate organizations including the California Association Realty (CAR), NAHREP and Women’s Council of Realtors (WCR).
