"They always send me excellent leads, well qualified and ready to go. I am closing two more deals in April from listings they sent my way. And they even sent me my first million dollar listing...so when I tell you the leads are good...THE LEADS ARE GOOD! If you do short sales, if I were you I would contact them right away. You will be very glad you did."

"The Short Sale Specialist Network is awesome to work with. Probably 75% of the leads that I have gotten have turned into listings. I currently have 8 listings, 3 of them under contract that came directly from them. The best thing is that I don’t have to pay for them unless they close."

"The referrals I have received from the Short Sale Specialist Network are all pre-qualified. When I meet with the sellers they are ready to list the house. I have closed SEVEN short sale transactions from the referrals I have received from the Short Sale Specialist Network. I currently have 21 homes listed for short sale."

"I am proud to be a member of The Short Sale Specialist Network. This group does an amazing job of screening their leads to the point that it is a 99.9% certainty that the homeowner is ready to list by the time you have their contact information. Their commitment to quality and integrity is outstanding. Since these qualities are imperative for me to consider being associated with anything, and hard
to find these days, I feel extremely fortunate to have formed this alliance."

Since joining the SSSN about a month ago, I have received 2 leads. Both were from extremely qualified sellers and very motivated. Within a few days of each I was able to secure a listing agreement and we are already marketing them. Thank you!

The leads that come from the SSS DO close! I have 2 to 3 under contract right now and have closed several. Most are in my OWN backyard. I really appreciate the relationship I have with them. Keep em' coming!!

I joined the SSN about one month ago and yesterday, I got my 1st lead. I met with the sellers today and listed the property. Now I will begin my marketing to sell the home quickly. The sellers were very qualified and motivated
WOW this is exciting! Thank you April and the SSN team!

I've been fortunate to receive numerous leads from the Short Sale Specialist Network and am very happy to work with them on a consistent basis for short-sales in the Central Ohio area.

I rarely refer my REALTOR friends to "networks" and I've been doing to help the network grow into the areas around Ohio that they need assistance.

I've had two closings with Short Sales Specialist Network and two more in the hopper and a couple of active listings that we plan on having in contract soon.

Diane VespucciPermalink Reply by Diane Vespucci on June 17, 2010 at 8:52pm

I've been a member of the SSS Network for awhile too and have had over a dozen good leads. Most have become listings, with 4 upcoming closings on the books. The people at the office are responsive and friendly, and if you have a question or problem, April is wonderful at directing you to the right places and people. Closing short sales provides me with an immense sense of personal satisfaction. I appreciate the leads the SSS Network has sent (thanks one and all). They're qualified, ready and willing to listen. Well worth trying it!

 

Dawn MaloneyPermalink Reply by Dawn Maloney on June 18, 2010 at 1:25am

I added it up...I've earned well over $20,000 from leads from SSSN in the last year...that doesn't include the buyers for other properties that have come to me through SSSN listings. If you know how to do short sales, you should be a preferred partner. I have NEVER had such a fantastic single source of business in such a short time.

Sharon MolnarPermalink Reply by Sharon Molnar on July 26, 2010 at 11:10pm

Ok, so I should share. Received 1st lead within days of joining. Hard time getting ahold of seller due to his hours. Listed. Received another lead maybe a few weeks of joining. Tried to reach owner for a month. No response. Not unusual. Received another lead, no response. Received 2 more leads. Waiting on one to notify tenants of plans, and received keys from another in the mail. Will be listing one by the end of the week.

 

Dawn MaloneyPermalink Reply by Dawn Maloney on July 26, 2010 at 11:18pm

Just closed two more from SSSN and listed another. Hey guys at SSSN, you are my favorite ;)

 

Terry L. Osburn, SFRPermalink Reply by Terry L. Osburn, SFR on October 9, 2010 at 12:04pm

I just closed my FIRST SSSN referral......It should have closed a month ago....It had nothing to do with the sellers lender but everything to do with the buyers lender......but yesterday we closed and all is happy....the seller's are now able to move on with their lives.

It is a pleasure to be able to send referral check to SSSN... So WATCH for it!

I have 3 other SSSN referrals in various stages of the game...one just received an offer yesterday so will get the package in action and hope to get closed within about 3 months.

Looking forward to more leads and closings....
PS I also closed another short sale yesterday NOT thru SSSN.
Short sales do close.....persistence is the key!

 

Scott TaylorPermalink Reply by Scott Taylor on October 26, 2010 at 5:52pm

There are so many other companies out there selling leads with no results but the Short Sale Specialist Network Preferred Partner program delivers leads that list and sell! Thanks Short Sale Specialists Network and keep those leads coming for Orlando area! Got one closing coming up next week from one of your leads.
 
Karen WallsPermalink Reply by Karen Walls on October 26, 2010 at 7:55pm
This company speaks volumes with providing leads! A lot of flukes and imitations out there! That's not the case with the SSSN when it comes to providing leads, the volume with SSSN is consistently there. I like the fact that for every lead you get, they highly refer you as a professional with their company as one entity! They garner as much information as possible and qualify "if you will", the clients position to see if they are facing a hardship, not to say that we take a backseat and let them do most of the work. They simply ask enough questions to make us look the professionals they are touting this company and their agents to be! So a big thumbs up, they keep it real, simple and yes the leads come and a very friendly staff. They are tangible, friendly and above all easy to reach, just ask April and Andrew on my behalf! Mike is on the right path to grow this company, so, hope he continues to plant seeds and grow SSSN, and in turn, we reach out and help those who at all costs need professionals to assist and avoid foreclosure as their only option! :-))))

I am Happy to be a member of the Short Sale Specialist. My first Referral was AWESOME!! A double referral (both Seller and Buyer) met with both Clients in one day. Closed out within 30 days and walked away with $18,000 Commission. UN-BELIEVABLE for a short sale. This group of people are great to work with and I would Recommend this network to any one wanting to BOOST their Short Sale Business.
 
Mike LinkenaugerPermalink Reply by Mike Linkenauger on October 31, 2010 at 11:37pm
You definitely have an awesome testimonial there Hazel, I've mentioned it around to a few people! I remember when that deal happened back in like March or April. We referred her the seller and if I remember correctly the buyer was already in place. Easy deal with Litton (They ROCK!). Pretty good return for a $295 preferred partner membership fee, especially when that $18,000 commission was in your POCKET the month after joining us...

As a typical Realtor/Salesperson, and having the mentality to go with it, I must apologize for being out of touch with the people and organization that gave me most of my success in 2010 ,SSSN. The main reason I am the leading listing agent in my office, and in my Farm Area, is because of this great organization and people like Mike, April, and JP. I have recently had my first closing and have a hand full of pending offers. As the new year rolls around, I have already made a commitment to be more in touch with the people that I owe my success to. I have signed up for the GOLD membership in the Buyer referral program, following the systems and the formula of success that has made me happy to say I am a Realtor, and I can help.

Since Joining SSN I have received 5 leads, I have closed one, another in escrow and working on other three to list! Thanks so much!
 
Gloria OquendoPermalink Reply by Gloria Oquendo on January 27, 2011 at 6:01pm

I got my first referral and i contacted the seller and meet with them and i went to the appointment prepared with my short sale package and listing agreement and they gave me the listing right away. I am preparing the package to send it to the bank as soon as i get an offer. Helpfully it is on the way. I get a lot of referrals from attorneys, loan officers and clients but, I am so glad to be part of the Short Sale Specialist Network.

Sonia ShanahanPermalink Reply by Sonia Shanahan on February 8, 2011 at 11:47am
I love Short Sale Specialists! The leads I get are high quality leads that they have prequalified. I have not only gotten listings but I have also gotten sales! They really know this niche market! If you are doing short sales you want to get involved and be a part of this organization!!

I absolutely love the leads I receive from the SSSN.  I just closed my first deal, I have 3 under contract, listed one this week and got another lead today.  I can't thank them enough for the increase in my business.

I am so happy to say I have CLOSED my first deal with SSSN!! :D  I just want to thank April, Andrew, JP, Mike L., and everyone in SSSNetwork!  Looking forward to a lot more deals! :D

Mike LinkenaugerPermalink Reply by Mike Linkenauger on March 19, 2011 at 12:46am

Pretty good one if I'm not mistaken Mohammed, Andrew showed me the other day. 

We sent him BOTH the buyer and the seller on a $300,000 listing for a 6% commission which came out to like $20,000 (15K after referral fee).  Pretty good return on investment...

Rick DevinePermalink Reply by Rick Devine on April 7, 2011 at 12:27pm
I joined The Short Sale Specialist Network about a year ago. The leads I have gotten have been very good and they are easy to list. I love the idea of having homeowners so eager to sell and they feel very confident in my services. When ever I call or have any questions there is always someone very helpful. I feel very lucky to be apart of this group.
Cindy Billman, CDPE, SFRPermalink Reply by Cindy Billman, CDPE, SFR on April 21, 2011 at 6:15pm
Kudos to this network - they are true to their word - I have received 4 leads - 3 were listings with one of the seller's leasing his house, the other 2 are currently listed!
 
  Andrew SawyerPermalink Reply by Andrew Sawyer on July 8, 2011 at 12:30am
The short sale network is the best, I have closed 4 deals so far and 5 more in escrow. 95% of the leads are ready to go. This is the best referral network out there.
 
Jose A. Rivas (RDCpro,SFR, CDPE)Permalink Reply by Jose A. Rivas (RDCpro,SFR, CDPE) on July 11, 2011 at 8:05am

My team joined SSSN last fall. I am very please with the ROI and the opportunities to increase my clientel and my business. There was a slow start, but now we are rolling, from 7 leads only two were bad, one was trying to get a loan modification and in denial, and the other was too late to save. However the other 5 have been good listings and we are closing the first one this week, and have the other 4 under contract with 2 of them already approved by the banks.

I am glad we signed up for the preferred listing agent, it has been one of the best investments to increase my business, continue the great work Mike and keep them coming.
