Inspiration Station brings you Short Sales

I'll have to work on this. I actually received a call from an agent in another state who also works at a bookstore and she called to tell me that they were shipping lots of short sale and foreclosure books to Austin!

Hi!  I wasn't ready to blog about Christmas lights in December so this is my first real "visit" to Inspiration Station.  This is really useful information.  Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for the inspiration. I've had many blogs on short sales, and I do need to refresh some of these blogs and bring them to more current situations. In 2011, nearly half of my listings were short sales, and nearly half of total sales were short sales. Although I still run into agents who won't do anything with short sales, I find that it is a necessary tool in our arsenal of marketable skills.

I am going to work on alot of short sale posts, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to reach out to more areas. I target three counties, which includes multiple cities. Should I write the same post multiple times using different cities as the keywords in each one? Or try to incorporate the different areas in one post?

So true! Short sales are hot for buyers, and now that the holidays are over the banks are back on the foreclosure notices. Hopefully all of our blog posts will be the answer for some.

Cheers,

Kim

This is right up our alley, so I will have to work on it and get some Short Sale posts out. Thanks! -Kasey

I'm glad you have this "idea generating" blog to help us AR's find topics to discuss.  However, I am sick of hearing about short sales!  I'll bet everyone else is too.  The sooner they go away, the better.

Fantastic post... I will be sure to incorporate those terms!  Thanks!

Wow it seems like by now everyone knows about short sales, I guess not!

Looks like short sales will be a topic for me this week.

Thanks for the reminder....I have had it on my schedule to go back through my short sale posts and do some updating, etc. and have not gotten it done.  I think I just needed the reminder!

I just listed a short sale and already have two offers. I was going to write a blog to help agents know the first steps on taking a short sale listing. It seems like people say they are experts, but are absolutely clueless... They should let us SFR Short Sale Experts handle these transactions. 

I agree though... Great group for topics ;) 

I totally agree from doing four short sales.

Sad to say I missed the SFR course when it came to our area. I didn't really want to deal with short sales, but I can see now how it's really hard to avoid that. I'll be wanting to take that course after all!

I have a mere 9 short sales that I am ready to list. It is the market of 2012. I DO need to post more often about this.

Great info.  I have done 2 short sales in the past 6 months and being informed on the procees has made all the difference as I have navigated my client thru the mind fields of a short sale.  It is an area we need to bring into the light with more education.
