Be a Short Sale Business Superpower…Going Way Beyond Commission!

We have it drilled in our heads that we have to leverage, automate, and outsource to take our businesses to the next level.  We should all hire virtual assistants to do the grunt work so that we can list and sell more homes.  But, what if you think about this in the reverse?  You could be missing out on a source of revenue that other agents and investors are passing on.

Short sales require a systemized approach.  With the right systems, you can maintain a high closing rate that makes short sales a solid profit center.

Despite the opportunities that lie in short sales, there are many agents and investors that simply don’t want to take the time or energy to create the necessary systems.  They avoid short sales.  These people are missing out on the profits that could be earned listing and/or buying short sales.  Their loss can be your gain.

Let’s break this down…..You can use your systemized approach to short sales to earn money off of your fellow agents and investors.

Using the right systems, you could even effectively train an assistant in your office to help you create an additional and consistent income stream.  Potentially you could cover all of your overhead plus have the liquidity to grow simply by doing offering a service that already fits within your business model.

This market requires an approach that is outside of the box.  Agents need to make more than standard commission.   Investors need cash-flow between the ‘deals.’  

Do you have the systems in place?
