Short Sale Negotiating!!! Holiday Special at Lotus Realty Group.

Dear REALTORS,





Lotus Realty Group will be running a holiday special on our original 1% negotiator fee. Any short sale transactions that come in ABOVE $350,000 between November 1st, 2011 thru December 31st, 2011, we will be offering our services for .5%. (A HALF A PERCENT.)




I wanted to share with you exactly what the 1% negotiator fee covers when you outsource your short sales to Lotus Realty Group:




Why use Lotus?



1. Qualified, experienced and professional staff. Everyone employed at Lotus Realty Group are licensed REALTORS.




2. # 1 Real Estate Attorney, David Bright. David Bright is my attorney at Lotus Realty Group. My short sale package has all of the disclosures to protect all parties in the transaction. All disclosures were either co-created with David or approved by David. David is a huge asset to have on our team and he is always available for my clients.




3. Experienced negotiators with all of the large financial institutions( and the small ones) and are able to handle all of the banks requests and requirements before the file hits their desk.




4. We have a stream lined process that allows our company to handle all files with ease. Our organizational skills are like no other. Nothing falls through the cracks.




5. In addition to negotiating your file Lotus Realty Group offers the following assistance to REALTORS:




A) Prospecting



B) Prequalifying



C) Full short sale package readily available to hand off to your clients to get started.



D) Pricing and listing



E) Marketing




6. Lotus Realty Group will only take qualified short sale transactions. We will only take deals we know we can close and not waste time on deals that do not make sense. This allows us to maintain our excellent track record of closing short sales.




7. Weekly updates




The goal is to build your pipeline with the right deals. If you have thirty in your pipeline on a regular basis you will be closing 2-3 monthly.



The questions to ask your self are:







A) Can you do the negotiating yourself and build your pipeline to where it needs to be?



B) Does it make more sense to hire a company for less than the 1% fee for negotiating your file where there is a lack of service and legal protection to save a little money and in return lose sleep at night?







Here a couple suggestions to help you with the 1% negotiator fee:







1. Ask the buyer’s agent to split the fee with you. If the buyer’s agent understands what it is he or she is paying for to ensure the deal closes it has been my experience that they are willing to contribute.







2. Offer 2.5 % to the cooperating broker in the MLS and 3.5% to the listing agent if you have to carry the full 1%.







REALTORS, we have truly created a system that works. Where do you see your business headed? What number do you need to make next year? Have you thought about it? Have you written it down? What do you need to do to execute your business plan? Where is your time best spent?



I would like to end with a short story. When I first started my business I had my hands in several cookie jars. I was door knocking and taking listings, working with buyers, looking into a property management service as an addition to my business, and becoming my own broker to build a brokerage. It was EXHAUSTING!



When I changed my business model and decided to focus ONLY on negotiating for other REALTORS and perfecting that system all of the sudden I looked up and everything had come full circle. I get 3-5 of my own listings monthly by referral only. 6-10 new transactions from other REALTORS monthly. I have created this on a $500.00 monthly marketing budget. Sign calls come in and I hand it over to one of the agents on my team . We are still in the process with the paperwork at the DRE to become our own broker but it is happening. And it has all happened by laser focus on one particular part of the business.



I would like to encourage you to evaluate your current status and consider allowing Lotus Realty Group to help you achieve your goals.



(Quote) "Persistence is the ability to maintain actions regardless of your feelings. You press on even when you feel like quitting. When you work on any big goal your motivation will wax and wane like the waves hitting the shore. Sometimes you’ll feel motivated, sometimes you won’t. But it’s not your motivation that creates results - it’s your action.



Persistence allows you to keep taking action even when you don’t feel motivated to do so, and therefore you keep accumulating results. Persistence will ultimately provide its own motivation. If you simply keep taking action, you’ll eventually get results, and results can be very motivating." – Zig Ziglar
