Our group is "Short Sale Specialists".So far I am the sole member. Am I in a bad group? When I'm by myself, I'm told-" I'm in bad company. I am going to blog as often as I have the nerve to do so. I am going to write about my experiences. I'm 68 and have less time than a lot of you (is there a you out there, reading this?) I'd love you to join SHORT SALE SPECIALISTS and contribute.
Does the fact I have't told my wife she is part of our group "SHORT SALE SPECIALISTS," COUNT? BECAUSE i'M OLDER THAN MOST OF YOU (IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE?) I ALREADY KNOW YOU DON'T TELL YOUR WIFE ANYTHING. YOU MAKE SUGGESTIONS YOU RECOMMEND. YOU INVITE! YOU BEG! There you may have learned something already.
I'm doing this to increase my business to get more money to advertise to sell more houses and help more people to increase my business to get more money to sell more houses to help more people to get more money to advertise to...........................
Cecelia and I took a course from Zig Ziglar called "Train the Trainer". We flew to Carrolton, TX and had the pleasure of meeting Zig Ziglar and learned what most of us know in our hearts, "You can get everything in your life you ever wanted, if you help enough other people get what they want" The course was great. We learned techniques that have helped us in all areas of our life.
Up front- There are very talented people that I read to learn from regarding short sales. Having said that, I am going to blog about customers and transactions, what went wrong, what worked, how could I have done it better.
I will be truthful. I always see the humor in things (like imagining there is someone actually reading this (I'm 68. You can't trick me)
I went with my broker to meet a woman that has 8 properties, most of them bought at excessive prices and all highly leveraged. She is fairly well stressed out. I'm pretty good with stressed out people. I'm a retired stock broker and was known to have caused a fair amount of stress myself in other peoples' lives. To make a long story short, we got the listings and now I had to learn what to do.
Cecelia and I drove to Tampa and took a 3 hour seminar. We learned the language and got enough background information to enable us to proceed. Cecelia is great with paperwork and organization. She is a great listener and puts people at ease. I get people excited, wanting to do something! We are becoming Serious short Sale Specialists. I am torn between saying I know next to nothing and my commitment is to be the best I can be in this area. I don't want to focus on what I don't know. I want you to know I (we) are getting better every day, every conversation, every e-mail!
I'm stopping. I hear a voice (It might be my inner child- it says shut up, stop wasting your time, no one is out there. Even though my mother used to tell me "there's something just not right about you" I have no pride. I'm into it and there is no quit in me.
Thanks for being out there.!
I reread my blog and mentioned I am 68 3 times. It must be an issue with me. It may be true, but I still don't think 68.Next time I'm going to write about our customer with the 8 properties.
