Short Sale ExpeditorThis week I wrote a letter to my friend, the CEO of GMAC mortgage because one of his employees wasn't responding to my phone calls and emails. As a result, I may have gotten a few people a little bit upset with me. I also told my youngest that he had to get back to the books. School is starting soon, and it would be best if he actually remembered how to read. He was not too happy with me either. So, when a few people are frustrated and/or unnerved by you, it's great to hear that others may actually appreciate you.

I conducted my short sale webinar this morning, and Bill Archambault, Jr. was on the line with several of my Active Rain friends. I'm so flattered by all of the great things he had to say about the webinar.

I'll be conducting another one in a few weeks; if you are interested in having me send you an invitation, please let me know. I'll also post the invite on Active Rain. Thanks, Bill, for all of your support!

Yesterday I re-bloged Melissa Zavala's  Free Short Sale Webinar Tomorrow: You Are Invited  as most of my readers know I've been doing "short sales" from all sides of the desk since 1970.

My first were as a young banker and we refereed to them as "settling with the bank" or "a negotiate settlement" at that time I made the decision normally the next day. Then as a listing agent representing troubled sellers.

Three years later from my own office, I'd represent aggressive buyers saving under represented sellers.

As an investment instructor and author I taught "short sales" to investors. I've advocated "Short sales" in three of my books.

I've had banks forsake less than $100.00 to exactly $8,000,000.00.

I tell you this because Meliss's webnar for REALTORS® all 55 minutes of it was absolutely excellent. She advocated things I hadn't heard outside of my own classes. If people listened they will make money! It was indeed 55 Minutes Well Spent

Meliss was promoting her company I suggest you check it out at: http://www.shortsaleexpeditor.com/ I can only add unless I had lots and lots of California "short sales" I'd seriously consider using her services. If your out side CA shell still give you access to her "short sale" list and forms. Please if you're considering doing "Short Sales" take my advice check it out!

 

My only reservation is that I don't often over post my own material so please don't miss:

Melissa - well the abnk will get over it,or they won't. Too bad.

What a nice compliment to you. I remember the seminar I took from you some months ago and it was terrific. Now if I couldget some folks to try out the shortie instead of deciding to go the foreclsoure route.

Melissa - Congratulations on the compliment!  You certainly are well informed about the short sale process so I'm not all that surprised.  As far as GMAC is concerned I'm not too happy with them either for other reasons.  If people get frustrated with you it usually means you are doing our job and they are not so phooey on them!

Melissa, Sounds like you are on top of things, and making others keep up with their commitments can often be a hard place to be, but you have not choice if you are looking out for your client's best interest.  (and your child's).

Always nice to receive postive feedback as Bill did.
