Why do I want to do shortsales?

That’s quite a question.

I want to be the best that I can be to help the client, to do what’s right for them, and also to succeed in this business. I believe that learning the entire process of short sales and becoming an expert on how to do them will not only gain me tremendous experience, but will help homeowners who need an objective, and skilled agent in the coming years.

I’m relatively new in Real Estate (received my license in February 2009). I have used the last half of 2009 to find a fantastic broker who teaches me a lot, and I have learned a tremendous amount. I was able to close two transactions by year end, have dealt with a foreclosed (bank owned) purchase dealing with a mortgage broker whose lender shut loans off mid-purchase. I have had to deal with a bankruptcy which caused a sale to go kaput, and multiple offers on short sales which did not work out.

I got into this business for a couple of reasons, including the fact that since it’s a changing marketplace that my lack of knowledge in certain areas is no different from those who have been in the business for many years. And this has been proven to be true, with the extreme short sale situations occurring.

I believe that the time and effort to learn as much about short sales is important and I want to focus on that in the first quarter of 2010. Winning this contest would be the best thing that I could ask for. Knowledge is Power. I need more knowledge! Thank you for your consideration.
