Here are some high-level thoughts/ideas now how to fill your short sale pipeline as quickly as possible.

We will help you create a marketing plan so you can become a short sale magnet.  Just ask!

• The Number One Magnet Maker is so good we can't even put it on this web site. This one does take a little more effort, but by far will get you the best results! Call Joel convince him to have lunch, and you'll talk about this one.  You won't regret it.
• Agents In Your Office
  • Personally get the word out that you’ve been hand-selected by Michigan’s leading short sale and loss mitigation negotiations team.
  • Although the agents won’t be able to participate directly in the short sale transaction, for zero risk, they can refer their listings to you in return for a 33% referral fee.
  • Together we’ll achieve almost a 79% short sale acceptance rate so chances are excellent they will get paid for their referral.
• Email to Area Agents
  • Same message as to the agents in your office, but through email.
• Joel’s Continuing Education Course
  • The best source of a long-term series of referrals
  • Present to your office
  • Broader market of REALTORS® through
    • Your favorite title company
    • An inside track to someone on the education committee of your board of REALTORS®
• Loan Originators
  • Contact the lenders you do business with and ask them “when you get calls from people that want to refinance and if you can’t help they’ll be heading towards foreclosure, and they owe too much to sell it, who do you send them to?” - have them start sending them to you!
• Property Managers
  • Out of town investors need property managers. They typically know when their clients are unable to make payments on their properties.
• Direct Mail
  • We have complete written procedures that will show you how to market to people that are hitting the foreclosure lists when they are first published in the county newspaper. We provide many county lists to you at no charge.
• Current Listings
  • If you haven’t asked your current non-short sale listings if they are behind on their mortgage, you may be surprised by how many are but haven’t told you.  Just ask!
• Door Knocking
  • Instead of, or in addition to direct mail: when people first hit the foreclosure lists.
  • We will occasionally provide you names/addresses for houses we feel we have an excellent chance of getting a short sale approved for.
• Advertorial
  • An advertisement that looks like an editorial (ask me for a sample)
• Market to Expired Listings that are subject to Short Sale
  • Be sure to check RealeFlow for the foreclosure sale date first
• Others? What can you think of on your own?
