RainCamp Los Angeles - The Date and Venue Are Set
Many have been asking me when...When... WHEN is RainCamp coming to Southern California?  We just received our confirmation so I'm typing this as fast as I can.  Los Angeles it is - May 15th, 2010.  Mark your calendars and register quickly, we only have about 300 seats open, and only 84 Platinum seats available with tables and power for your laptops. That is about 1/2 the size of an average RainCamp in a much bigger real estate … (0 comments)

REO Agents Are Moving Into Short Sales as Foreclosures Decline in Sacramento - 04/06/10 01:11 PM
Exceptionally well written post regarding the significant differences between REOs and Short Sales.
Pay close attention to the comments - some great analogies made by those commenting - here is a sampling:
"I can't imagine any of them trying to do the job of another.  You make your nitch and you work it.  No jumping on the band wagon where you see success.  It just doesn't work like that."
"REO agents that think handling short sales is the same as what they are doing now are in ffor a rude awakening."
"Like I mentioned to Chris Ann, a short sale is … (2 comments)

Short Sale Specialist - 04/05/10 11:39 AM
I came across a very interesting blog post - not on Active Rain - but on a sub domain of housingstorm.com.
The author, Elizabeth Weintraub, apparently shares my perspective on the distinct differences between listing and selling REOs and successfully listing and selling Short Sales.
Notable Quote:
 
"But REO agents are jumping into short sales because the foreclosure market is dwindling. I hear them say that selling a short sale is no different than a bank-owned home, but I suspect they are deluding themselves."

Wachovia Fast Track Short Sales in Anthem Arizona - 04/05/10 09:13 AM
A Short Sale in Anthem Arizona is nothing more than a regular resale with one critical difference.  The Listing Agent MUST be able to successfully negotiate a Short Sale Approval from the Lien Holder(s) in order for the Short Sale in Anthem Arizona to close escrow.  That's where the failed Short Sales fail.  The Short Sale Listing Agent lacks either the skill, the will, or both, to do what it takes to secure an acceptable contract, convince the lien holders to accept the proceeds, and escalate the file as and when needed.

As a follow-up to my previous post re: apology to Andrew Monaghan
Via Andrew Monaghan CRS, GRI, EPro Associate Broker (Keller Williams Professional Partners):
I have been reading through many posts learning and taking in the information about short sales, I am absolutely amazed by some of the comments i have read, Why I'm the best, Why I am the one to use not that other guy, degenerating the other agents out there, calling them names and so on.
A short sale is a transaction just like any other transaction, it has its similarities and you need to be able to get the home sold … (0 comments)

A sincere apology to Andrew Monaghan - 04/04/10 03:33 PM
Apparently I unintentionally offended my friend Andrew Monaghan with one of my previous blog posts:
REO or Short Sales - What's YOUR area of expertise?
In what I thought was a friendly, spirited debate, his response to my response to his comments was to remove his comments and advise that he would not be doing so again.  Not the response I was expecting!!
He subsequently wrote an excellent blog post regarding Short Sales and the need for caution when selecting a Short Sale listing agent.  Here is a link to it, and I will reblog it after this post.
