Welcome to the new world of Mars Compliance.

 

If you are an agent that is active in short sales.

That is you tell people you can help them in a short sale.

Or you introduce them to someone who can help them do a short sale. That is you are the originating agent. Then guess what your business card must have on it?

The Following:

 

Important Notice: Exit Premier and Cathy Meyers are not associated with the Government, and our service is not approved by the government or your lender. Even if you accept this offer and use our service, your lender may not agree to change your  loan. If you stop paying your mortgage, you could lose your home and damage your credit rating.

 

 

So what if you have just bought new business cards for the year? What if you ordered five thousand. You know your broker thinks you are going to have a tremendous year and it is time to get yourself out there.  Well whatever is on the back side of the card will now have the opportunity to have something new.

Yes you guessed it:

 

Important Notice: Exit Premier and Cathy Meyers are not associated with the Government, and our service is not approved by the government or your lender. Even if you accept this offer and use our service, your lender may not agree to change your  loan. If you stop paying your mortgage, you could lose your home and damage your credit rating.

 

I would suggest that you get some sticky labels and use that program in Word  that lets you copy things over and over again.

So whether you do short sales or just introduce. OR Get this answer the phone

And Say, “Yes we do short sales—and here is something that I need to read

With you before we go any further….Important Notice: Exit Premier and Val Rensink are not associated with the Government, and our service is not approved by the government or your lender. Even if you accept this offer and use our service, your lender may not agree to change your  loan. If you stop paying your mortgage, you could lose your home and damage your credit rating.

Yes I know I said it three times. But it is just that important.

Hey Cathy,

Nice Article.  Thanks for keeping us on the right track. I Heard Vanessa Liddel talk on this. It has its good and its bad parts. I guess I will have to get some Stickers for my Business cards and get used to

answering the phone like the Short Sale Banks answer theirs: YOu have reached Bank we are a debt collector and anything you say can be used to help collect a debt.

 

Thanks again

Thanks for the heads-up, Cathy. This is one more reason I personally try to avoid short sales.

Bisendra, if you have enough blank space on the cars, or a blank back, you could use Cathy's suggestion of printing up a small sticker with the disclaimer and adding it to the cards.
