       Wonder what to say to Note Holders? Negotiation starts from the moment you first connect with a note holder. "Scripts and Tips - A Handbook for the Serious Note Broker" was written to help you with just that. Every month I am asked about what to say to note holders when they contact you on that first phone call, when gathering information, giving the price and negotiating.  The book lists for you more specific questions for certain situations and property types including condo's, commercial properties and land. It also spells out a few of what I call "magic" questions to help you determine that all important motivation or need that the note holder must have if you are ever going to get them to accept an offer.

Quote of the Week

 

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.
                                           ― H. Jackson Brown, Jr.


 President's Corner

       When I first started my note business 26 years ago I did not feel ready, and the note business seemed a few sizes too big, however it seemed unwise to turn down such a great opportunity.  A year and a half later, after closing a transaction equal to one year of my annual pay at the grocery store, I quit my job and began growing my note business further. I didn't have time to second guess myself; I made the decision and I had a lot to learn, and quickly. I would have never thought of myself as technically qualified to do what we do in the note industry but I had persistence, I put in the effort and I gained whatever knowledge I needed back then.

       After about 7 years, my learning curve eventually flattened and I had finally felt I was qualified to be a note professional.  From that point forward the motivation to continue on came from and still comes from the never ending supply of note sellers.  Their stories, the different types of properties, the puzzle of trying to figure out the note holders need versus their want and the challenge of bringing notes to closing continues to be very exhilarating and fun for me.

       The excitement of who might be on that next phone call and what puzzle they will have for me to solve continues to motivate me after 26 years in the business.  I hope and wish that everyone reading this finds the same type of excitement in whatever you are doing.  If it is in the note business, all the better. Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!
