BrokerIPTV: Today we are talking with Jerry Biesboer from Metro Brokers Realty Oasis, Jerry welcome to the show.

Jerry Biesboer: Thanks for having me.

BrokerIPTV: Thanks for being here. So tell me a little about your business, what do you do, where do you specialize?

Jerry Biesboer: Yeah I have been doing real estate in Colorado now since 1993, started with the good old company Van Schaack you know we knew them in Colorado you know been around met up with Mark I have about eight, nine years ago when Mark and kind of working with his platform.

BrokerIPTV: Are you down in Castle Rock you said?

Jerry Biesboer: Yeah I work primarily out of Castle Rock, Douglas County area, Parker you know in our office I actually office out of Inverness office now.

BrokerIPTV: All right so I understand short sales maybe one of your specialties?

Jerry Biesboer: Yes I will tell you?

BrokerIPTV: Heavens why Jerry?

Jerry Biesboer: Two years ago I was like looking outside my door and when I was working my neighbor's, I said man I do not want to get back into short sales ever again but it is the market.

BrokerIPTV: They sucked you in.

Jerry Biesboer: They just got me back yeah.

BrokerIPTV: Like the God father every time I try to get out they suck me back in. You are also an owner a part owner I should say Meridian Title and Escrow as realtors are able to participate is that correct?

Jerry Biesboer: Yes I have been there since they started.

BrokerIPTV: Tell me a little bit about that experience.

Jerry Biesboer: You know I have enjoyed doing that because the way I look at it, its rolled in with our the Meridian Title is rolled in with our transaction management you know so its kind of a one stop shop that we have always promoted and that was the main reason I think I got involved with it you know definitely not that, not so much the money but the money does help, transaction coordinator interconnects with our, all our Title reps they take care of all the back scene stuff for me it kind of leaves me out of loop via e-mail but the only I have to stay in the loop.

BrokerIPTV: What do you like best about Meridian Title and Escrow?

Jerry Biesboer: You know it's...

BrokerIPTV: Besides the connection on this.

Jerry Biesboer: Well the clients I mean it's a better even for our clients you know we have a ten year reissue rate and then that's even saved the few deals with these short sales because of cost and you are down to the wire on who is bringing what to the table and the banks are you know fighting over what they want to keep you know so saved the few deals in the short sales.

BrokerIPTV: So you know the agent on the other side says am I getting paid and you are you know...

Jerry Biesboer: Yeah, yeah.

BrokerIPTV: You are getting paid and then of course that you know there is the seller involved and the bank and then if you can shave a little money off the Title I guess it all helps.

Jerry Biesboer: Oh yeah just I got one I got approval and they wanted a few bucks more and its always, its always been us they have been going after you know it seems that we reduce our commission, don't have to do any more when you got your cost down.

BrokerIPTV: What are the things I hear about Meridian Title and Escrow that people seem to like is the service?

Jerry Biesboer: We have got a great couple of closures now I mean they will travel, the service will travel I mean I just talked to her the other day and she went to someone's home.

BrokerIPTV: Yeah.

Jerry Biesboer: To get some paperwork signed. So what we go beyond the extra mile when it comes to service.

BrokerIPTV: Let's talk a little bit about the connection between short sales which you are specialize in and having a Title company that specializes in short sales is there such a thing?

Jerry Biesboer: That's exciting because that's something new we just started at the Meridian Title and through our [indiscernible] network. We are actually offering a certified specialist with that in that boom, the minute we got there I started sending all my short sales I was on and maybe I was even in the middle of negotiating some of them and I passed them under because what a way to free your time up that what we do, we show and list properties.

BrokerIPTV: Yeah and so I think the title that they are referring to that is a certified distress property specialist which you know as the market change there is new titles all the time to accommodate what's going on in the market?

Jerry Biesboer: You know one thing and I would like to emphasis on that too it is the system is not a listing tool because when you are going up against other agents you got another team, you got another player, you got somebody else its all they do is sit in front of a phone, sit in front of a computer and get those things out and get those things that are needed while I am out showing property, I can't be negotiating.

BrokerIPTV: Yeah well they are complicated deals and it certainly cannot hurt have to have specialist in there thanks so much Jerry.

Jerry Biesboer: Thank you.

BrokerIPTV: I appreciate it.

Jerry Biesboer: Thanks.
