A new agent for a new market! Why pay a storefront rate when you can get storefront service for less? Would you buy a car for 20,000 dollars when you could get it elsewhere for 15,000? Probably not (even if you would - you can call me too!) The market has changed - real estate sales must change too! Everyone says they handle foreclosures and short sales these days, after all, if you don't you probably aren't in business anymore. There is however a BIG difference bewteen having the ability to sign bank docs and knowing how to really handle a short sale or foreclosure. Having the right information at the right time makes all the difference. The right information can include:

• The most update market declination rate
• Cost of foreclosure for that county
• Cost of negotiating away 2nd and 3rd position liens
• Long term holding costs in that market
• How to get your folder on the right desk when it counts
• The right time and the right way to get the mitigation negotiated

Simply submitting an offer and waiting for an answer is just not good enough anymore. Savvy real estate investors have known for years that distressed markets are a buyers GOLDMINE! Let me help YOU make the most of this golden opportunity!

What is an intangible asset? Those are the things that matter most! Unlike most classes in real estate training, they are the things that books can't teach you!

• Do I have to have a degree in psychology to be a real estate agent? No, but my B.A. in Counseling Psychology certainly makes me a much better agent! Knowing how to establish better relationships adds value to all sides of every transaction. Sometimes, the best service I can give is telling a potential client what they NEED to hear, not what the want  to hear. My psychology background has also taught me the most effective way to bring the other side of a table to a decision without becoming confontational. Reflective listening works! Let me prove it to you!
• Did I have to earn Summa Cum Laude honors to graduate? Absolutely not - but if something is worth doing - it's worth doing all the way!
• Did I have to put 10 years as a builder, contractor and site manager to become a real estate agent? Not even close - but if I am selling houses, the more I know about my product, the better I can service my buyers and sellers!
• Do I have to read every real estate book I can get my hands on? Do I have to go to every seminar and training session I can? Certainly not - but the world of real estate is constantly evolving and I want to make sure I give my clients the best and most accurate approaches to selling, marketing, buying and negotiating!

My past customers words speak far louder than anything I could say for myself. My aim is complete satisfaction in every area of the transaction, from the first meeting to after the sale. Here is what they have to say:

Jan and Cary Forton, Ortonville, MI:

Jason,  

     Thank you for finding our "dream home". You are the only realtor that actually listened to what we wanted in a home. One agent told us that we had the same access to the internet that he did and for us to call if we spotted a home we wanted to see. Another agent emailed us houses that were not within our specifications. He even sent us a home that was not in move-in condition. We would have had to tear it down and rebuild. What part of no fixer-upper did he not understand?? You were great in knowing what we wanted and what we didn't and in setting up houses to look at, saving the best for last. We will definitely refer you to anyone looking for a realtor. You are fantastic in every aspect of being a realtor. We are so glad that we found you.  

 Thank you again,  

Jan & Cary Forton
