God has taken Action
Man, I never thought something could take off so fast. I have an appt. tomorrow with another agent whos handing over 30 customers, all with the same bank. I called the Vice President today, was told he never does short sales, but after talking to me hes eager to help these people, he does not want all these foreclosures or possable bankruptcies. Hes even agreed to refer some of his default customers my way,great connection. I ask about refering them to another broker with different programs, he doesn't care, he may lose money that way but nothing like if they foreclose.
They won't all be short sales so I made a call to my lender who knows of a program offering a 125% LTV to help some of these people. They put this program together just for this purpose. See some of these people have good scores, money, just have issues with this bank due to the end loan & have not been told they have options. So even if I can't short sale them, I'll refinance with a lower mort. then I'll list them as a rental/lease to purchase/or for sale. I also have got a tax acct., attorney, & credit profile restorer working with me on a case by case bases. You will need these people so set up like Dan & Tim said your connections with them, they are valuable assets.
I currently have 6 short sales working & just met with a investor who wants to work exclusivley with me on multi-family units, or any good potential rental properties. The day I met with him we wrote a contract on one of my already listed short sales. Hes agreed to let me list those hes going to flip/sale. Plus he gave me 3 pre-foreclosures hes interested in,so I'm trying to get ahold of the owners to work out the short sale. Who would say no with already a buyer??
I'm so excited at whats happening, its like Dan said, these people are Sooo. appreciative of your help. The one thing I hear over and over is " I know you can't make me any promises, you may not even beable to help us, but all we wanted is someone who truly cares about trying to help us'. Most of these people have honestly reached out to banks, realtors, mort. brokers, etc., but noone has offered to help or give advice on where to go for help. I see how we can really make a difference in these peoples lives, so lets not dissappoint them. Remember God is watching!! Don't have the money drive you, that will come, be driven by the difference you can make in someones life.
I'm so thankful that God convinced me to listen to the Webinar from Harris, and that my Dad convinced me to sign up for the 6 month course.
God bless you all,
Ocala Realtor
