Fernando ~ I'd never seen the "Real Estate Agent's Prayer" before.... Thanks for the chuckle.

A little prayer can be good.

A little rant to make one feel better.

A nice day to all ...

Keep Smilin'

I love the p.s. on the prayer. That is funny!

Hello Fernando.

I love the prayer and the "post script".

Some banks handle short sales with ease. Others make you want to go "POSTAL".

Have a great day,

Best, Clint McKie

Good Morning Fernando, Prayer never hurts, and I especially like the P.S.

Have an AWESOME day!

And the AR congreation said "Amen". You may be seated. Today's lead in worship song is "The Landlord Looks An Awful Lot Like Satan".

Fernando, this is awesome!  Love the prayer, make that a post of its own and AR can adopt it as the official listing agent's prayer!

Good Evening Fernando, Thank you for sharing the prayer. i will be printing and posting it. I have to say I work a lot with Bank of Americas and I have it down to an art. Things go very well, they go slow but they go when you have a good raport with the people you are working with. I have had great luck with them . They will eat up most agents though if they are not prepared.

Morning Fernando I like your prayer and you know it is true.  I just can't imagine what goes through their mind at BOA.  But it is what it is and right now we can't change it.  Have a great day sir

Great prayer Fernando, maybe if we could get some Divine intervention in some of these transactions there would be lots more happy buyers, agents and sellers.

Hi Fernando - Great prayer.  I wonder how many agents know the reference to St. Joseph?  I think I will write a blog about that.

I personally love BofA. Easy to work with and they gotten much more efficient than what we were used too a few years back. Besides, you want real difficulity? Bring back Countrywide! Also, BofA in my area is now giving the homeowner $2500 to do a short sale.

Anyway, you might want to look at finding a great CPA that handles short sales and refer the tax questions to that CPA. When your client learns that you have assembled a team of experts, they will give you their business. My CPA writes all the 1099s on a rental as a business loss. So if you can find a local CPA that can tell that client of yours that she doesn't have to pay taxes on a business loss, you will get 6 short sales instantly. CPAs also have access to clients who are under water and they can refer the real estate business to you. Same goes with divorce attorneys, loan modification companies, etc.

By the way, I had a client like yours. I was in his garage helping him write his hardship letter while looking at all his cars: lamborghini, mazerati, porche 911 and a Mercedes Benz S550.

Good luck.
