continued education: Short Sales: What is the distressed homeowner really saying? - 08/12/07 05:28 PM
Avoiding the Six Traps of Ineffective Listening in Short Sales
Most people don't realize that effective listening isn't something that comes naturally. In fact, many real estate agents are too busy working Short Sales that are never going to close to begin with because of something they didn't hear or recognize in the very beginning when talking to the homeowner. Knowing what the homeowner is really telling you in the qualification stage of the Short Sale process is initially one of the most important steps in the beginning. It's something you need to practice. To see whether you yourself could use some improvement in this skill, … (2 comments)

continued education: Survey - Do you like or dislike Short Sales? - 08/09/07 09:36 PM
Fellow real estate enthusiasts...
America's Home Rescue, a leading nationwide provider of Short Sale and pre-foreclosure education and resources for real estate agents, is conducting research as to why real estate agents don't enjoy working Shorts Sales or as to why they actually like working this kind of transaction?

continued education: What closing costs will most Short Sale lenders cover? (Can everyone read this thread?) - 07/12/07 04:51 PM
As part of the Short Sale or Pre-Foreclosure Program, the Short Sale lender will cover most all of the closing costs on behalf of the homeowner(s), as well as the real estate agent commissions. Most lenders pay a total of 6% in agent commissions, however, we have encountered a few that pay less. There are a few closing costs that the lender will not cover on behalf of the Seller, such as the cost of a home warranty if requested by the Buyer, HOA transfer fees and certificates, and any delinquent HOA dues. If the bank is offering a Seller Incentive, … (9 comments)

continued education: Short Sales: Your Emotional Nightmare OR a Great Business Opportunity? - 06/03/07 10:47 PM
We vote for a fantastic business opportunity to truly HELP people in need! This is your greatest moment to create what might be considered the ultimate commission generating machine. Here's what we consider the truth about these transactions. Real estate agents, for the most part, would rather press the "Easy Button" when it comes to business or making money. We teach short sale seminars for real estate agents and the most common response we get is that they're either too difficult or this is the greatest business opportunity ever. The agents either see it as their "emotional nightmare" or as their wealth building machine. Too many agents … (1 comments)

continued education: New for 2007!! Short Sale Solutions: An Instruction Guide for Real Estate Agents - 11/26/06 11:56 PM
Folks, wouldn't you all agree that when we, as a profession, are weak at providing a service, that it reflects poorly on all of us? Most of the education available on Short Sales is from investors to investors. What about real estate agents? Nearly all mortgage banks require for the property to be listed for sale when being considered for a shorted payoff. This means that a real estate agent must be involved. Well, who is teaching real estate agents how to effectively do Short Sales? How does a short sale change when the loan you're shorting is a FHA, Conventional, or VA loan?
