Date: March 25, 2010 Time: 10:30am Topics Covered: The 7 Most Important Myths concerning Short Sales.  As a Buyer, what should you look for and know about Short Sales?

BUYERS – First Time or Not

• We explain everything about all facets of Real Estate (others say, “I am not going to teach my client about the market – it is only my job to sell them a home”) – We respond, “They are not buying a pair of shoes…” - “We explain everything”.
  
• We cover the in’s and out’s of Lending (we are not lenders, but we have been in the past so we know what you need to watch out for – Don’t forget – You don’t pay our commission as the Buyer, we are compensated by the Seller, but the Lender’s fees are part of your closing costs and no matter who is paying those, it will have an impact on your bottom line!)
  
• All contracts explained, “Chapter and Verse” (some issues come up when we have our buyer and sellers meetings, we find out fast of the past experiences with others that have sold our new clients homes – stuff was not explained and questions were not answered. “If I am buying something so expensive that it takes me 30 years to pay it off – I want to have every document I sign covered…”)
  
• Working at our Clients Pace without Pressure (simply – some are not ready to purchase a home.  In fact, we have been known to turn some away so they can wait until they can do it more comfortably – We are supreme advocates that being “mortgage poor” is horrible. When you view the numbers and the portion you will be paying out each month to own and if it is not a good fit, we explain and remind you about our thoughts on looking for something less-expensive.  We will stand by for as long as it takes until you are ready.) 
  
• Our Bottom Line – (Having you as a Client for Life is the most important part for The Paris911 Team)
  

SELLERS – Private or Corporate

• Real Estate Advertising (A True understatement.  You will see the results from all of the places we strategically place your home for sale.  We have Internet marketing that is unparalleled – We incorporate Social Media, Twitter – Facebook – We still believe in Publication Print to Employer and Union Based, Private, Public and Corporate Businesses.  Besides the Usual, our focus and drive is to obtain the Buyer ourselves – With that in mind – your home will appear in front of more Qualified Buyers.  We also have a HUGE Top Agent Data-list and are members of “Top Producing Real Estate Agent” groups where we pitch each listing we secure.  Our Database of over 11K is composed of past clients, their Sphere’s of Influence, other key investors and First Time Buyers – Your home will appear to those groups as well.  “I’m going to stop now – Call us for an appointment so I can get into more detail!”)
  
• Results Oriented (Our client’s happiness is our main concern.  We can have a Tactical and Strategic approach to selling your home – We have have the drive, excitement, and pig-headed discipline to accomplish that task.  However, if you are not happy with the Service then something has gone amiss.  We have an open door policy with every seller and buyer.  If you have decided that working with our Team is not a good fit – then say so and we will stop and part civilized.  But we will do everything in our power to make any misunderstanding right!)
  
• Booby-Traps, Trip-Wires – Proximity Mines – ALARMS (This section would not be complete without me including some of the “advertising” tricks of the trade.  Whomever you decide to utilize with the Sales of your Home, Condo, Townhome or Business – Make sure you are not signing because you were lured in with some fancy bait!  Allow me to expand.  If someone is telling you they will sell you home in a defined time frame or they Will Buy It – You should develop the technique to see the “flag on the play”.  Take your time, ask them to leave your home and go through the contract that is loaded with the *******asterisks*******. Then call us :-) - But seriously, be careful and make sure you recognize the dangers of getting tied up into a contract with someone that does not have an “open door policy”.)
  
• Short Sales Assistance and Help (CDPE – Certified Distressed Property Experts / CSE – Certified Short Sale Experts) (two great certifications that our team possesses.  over 60% of the folks that come into our offices decide a short sale is not the most advantageous choice for them after they complete the assigned home work.  That is True – When you look at the Real Estate and Short Sale market as a whole – there are a lot of Short Sales listed that should not be – After closing the Sellers are going to encounter a lot more heart-ache and not healing.  A final word on the Short Sales – There should be no charge for anyone Short Selling your home.  The commissions are paid by the Bank – If they decide no one gets paid – then that is the way it is.  Another Booby Trap to watch out for is when you see this, “We will Sell your short sale for FREE!!!” As a benefit. The qualities you should be looking for in a Short Sale Expert are the Multiple Short Sale Certifications and track records from Successful Short Sale negotiations, not something that is non-tangible like a clever spin that points to something that is a “material fact”.)
