President's Corner

       I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Holiday weekend! The unofficial start of summer brings some sad news.

     Henry Dvorken, one of the true legends of the note industry passed away last week.  At 84 years old he was as active in the note and real estate business since the day he started, some of us believe he was one of the few true pioneers of the note business.  Henry inspired and educated countless individuals and was always willing to lend an ear or give advice.  I can remember the first time I met him at a convention way back in 1991 and he was talking about his 23 ways to buy a note and especially his "Salle Bop Te Bop" option he came up with and we spoke after his session for over an hour. From that time forward Henry and I have visited at conventions and industry sessions for the last 21 years.  When I started sharing my information at workshops and conventions Henry never failed to show up and sit in them and listen.  He followed my career from the beginning and never failed to have a kind word of encouragement and a smile on his face.  He would often email me and comment on my articles and newsletters.      

     Henry... Thank you for showing me how to be successful by being generous, respectful and empathetic.  I will continue to follow your lead of giving of yourself, your information, your experiences and your wisdom freely and graciously. You will be greatly missed my dear friend.

     Moving forward, I have been asked on short notice to speak in San Jose, CA and Pleasanton, CA next week June 6 and 7 Wednesday evening and Thursday evening at the East Bay RE club and SJREI, purely informational speaking about the current note business. As soon as I have exact details I will send out an email to you.

       Remember, Success Demands Action! Keep on marketing, it’s going to work! TWITA!


Feature Article

Are You Prepared to do the Time?

       You’ve done your marketing properly and the phone rings. You do a good job of gathering the information, getting the story behind the note and finding the sellers need on the first phone call. You proceed to get some good options from your investors that you believe will exactly meet your note sellers need. With confidence in your voice you call your note holder back and explain the options like a real note professional. But, the seller says they will “think about it”, “check with their spouse”, “check with their attorney or accountant” or other response to delay their decision on accepting one of your options. What do you do... Read More...


Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          Here is a question: I've made contact with a servicing company. Before she gives me referrals, she wants to be sure that the servicing stays with her company if we ended up purchasing one of her customers notes.  Can I reasonable assure her of this if I end up brokering the note to another investor? ~ Brent S.

 

A - Hi Brent!

          The answer is possibly.  Some investors need the servicing in house and others will leave it in place. I just depends which investors you sell it to and what their policies are when they buy the note.  If you know in advance that the servicing must stay in place we can make sure we use an investor that will do so in the first place, just write it on the worksheet when you send it in.  Good question, hope this helps!  TWITA! ~ Jeff
