Cracking the Credit Code: Getting the Lender to Say Yes – Chandra Hall

Today’s future homeowners are challenged by tighter lending restrictions. Less-than-perfect credit resulting from foreclosure, short sale, bankruptcy or job loss complicates an already difficult situation for would-be buyers. For real estate agents, working with these buyers is not a question of “if” but one of “when.” Agents prepared to help these distressed buyers not only add an additional pipeline of customers to their business, they are better equipped to counsel their clients no matter what financial changes life may bring.

Critical Rules, Reforms, & New Realities – Chandra Hall

This course aims to empower you and your clients through an understanding of recent changes relevant to predatory lending, mortgage fraud, foreclosure, and short sales. Find out how conditions have altered business practices; how government has intervened in real estate loans; and how NAR has responded. Attendees can also expect an overview of the foreclosure and short sale process, a look at the market to date, and resources for assisting consumers.

Dealing with the Distressed Property Reality – Chandra Hall

Foreclosures are on the rise–offering both challenges and opportunities. Real estate licensees must be prepared to competently explain, caution, and advocate in this market reality. This course offers a fundamental look at how and why foreclosures happen in addition to explaining how to work with lenders to get Real Estate Owned properties off their books and into the hands of buyers and homeowners.  Get up-to-date information on the REO, foreclosure, and short sales laws and current developments that directly affect how you do business.

Negotiations: The Games People Play – Jackie Leavenworth

What is the difference in a master negotiator and the typical sales person? A master negotiator understands and practices solid, proven techniques that get to “yes” bypass “no,” and end up with delighted clients leading to future referrals. These negotiation techniques are not human nature, we are not born with these skills! Master negotiators are created through a sincere desire to help others and to learn new skills. 

It’s a Price War to the Door – Jackie Leavenworth
