In 2007, I made a pivotal decision in my business.  I joined a short sale coaching program offered by America's Home Rescue (AHR).  At this moment in time, I was in real estate for approximately 2 years and my business was doing "OK" but certainly not where I wanted to take it to.  I had about 1-2 listings at any given time, and was closing about 1 deal a month.  It was a critical time in my business.  I was considering whether to stay in the business or get out.

I went to a 9 hour training offered by Michael and Stacy Spicks of AHR.  I saw Short Sales as a way to position myself in front of the economic downturn that I was seeing on the horizon.  Taking that leap of faith, I joined their 12 month program and have not turned back since.   A little a year after I completed that program, I now average 20 listings at any given time and this month I will be closing 4 transactions.

Because of the success I have had with AHR's program, I have become an affliate trainer/consultant/coach with them.  I have been traveling Texas teaching other agents how to successfully navigate short sales and help homeowners avoid foreclosure.  It has been a blessing for me and I am glad I can help agents help their own real estate market by reducing the foreclosure rate, one homeowner at a time.

AHR has launched their 2009 Short Sale Coaching Program, and I will be one of the consulting coaches for the program.  Below is a flyer giving more info on the program.  If you have questions about this program, please don't hesitate to contact me.  I highly encourage agents who want to develop a niche in short sales to take this program in consideration.  It changed my business, and I know it can change yours.
