Quote of the Week

 

"A referral is the key to the door of resistance."

                                                                               ~ Bo Bennett


President's Corner

       Well Labor day has passed and we are now looking ahead to the last quarter of 2012.  It is my hope that the information I have been providing you with every week this year has assited you in growing your business. This week I want to mention something that several note investors are enforcing, or rather, re-enforcing a No Note No Quote policy.  Not all have adopted this was of thinking but it is something you should know about.  

          Some note buyers require a copy of the note before they will work up a price or options for you on a particular note.  Here’s a few ideas of three nice ways to ask the note seller for a copy of the note.  

 

          "...In order to give you a sincere price that we can stand behind, we need a copy of the note so we can see exactly what you actually have to sell..."

 

          "...As a professional note buyer, I can’t offer a responsible price sight unseen, without the basic information of what the note says..."

 

          "...It is the best protection for you from note buyers who promise you the world in the form of unreliable quotes and deliver you nothing but a waste of your time..."  

         Again, you will not use these items all at one time but rather test them out one by one for yourself on your next several phone calls and see which methods work best for you.

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

When developing your own network of referral sources, whether it is attorney’s, accountant’s, real estate agents, financial planners or whomever you are focusing on it may take some time.

Question of the Week

Q - Hi Jeff,

          We met at the presentation that you gave for Renatus in Beverly Hills. I am interested in working with you. I am a Renatus member who came through their education and have watched your 2 day Seller Financed Notes class online. I have a friend who is a mortgage broker. During a recent conversation, he shared with me that his business has been slowed by the stricter lending criteria that the banks now require. I explained to him that it may be possible for him to get deals closed with Seller Financing and that I knew of someone (you) who would be interested in buying the notes when structured appropriately. I would like to work with you to help him get his deals closed and develop this as a source of business. I am confident that if we can work successfully with him, we will get referral business from other brokers in his office. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you. - Simone


A - Hello Simone!
     Thanks for the email!  I'm glad that you took the time to take the online video classroom Seller Financed Notes class and that it sparked your interest. As for working with mortgage brokers, it is not something that is done the way that you are describing. A mortgage broker can be a potential referral source for you - for example, if someone were to contact a mortgage broker and ask them if they know someone that buys notes, that mortgage broker can refer them to you. We, the note industry as a whole, do not work with mortgage brokers to show them how to teach property sellers how to carry back a note and then sell the note to us. Understand that in theory could it work, yes, but when you start to talk about the reality of trying to convince a seller of a property to carry back a note and then convince them to sell it at a discount versus waiting for a buyer to come along who can qualify for a conventional mortgage and give them 100% of their money, the probability of it happening would be few and far between. In my opinion, you and your mortgage broker friend would be spinning your wheels.  Just trying to give you the reality of the business. 
Hope this helps!  TWITA! ~ Jeff
