"Valarie, It seems as if you have great success with closing short sales. What is your secret?"
This is the question that I received in my mailbox today. There are actually no huge secrets to completing short sales. The process is actually quite simple. Many try to make it seem as if there is a great mystery and that you must spend tons of money to find out the process.
I have successfully completed tons of short sales and taught many to complete them with great success in a few hours. The most important aspects to completing short sales are follow up and organization.
Call the banks everyday to follow up on your files. Always remain calm and kind. NEVER argue with the loss mitigator! You want to be a "friendly pest". This way they never forget you or your client and when you call back with your next client the loss mitigator may remember you. Plus, they can't wait to get rid of you...which ussually means an approval.
You also want to document every call and what was said even if you just left a message. This documentation can be very valuable later in the negotiation phase.
Good Luck with your short sales...Go Make Some Money!
If anyone else has a question, send it to me in an email. I may answer your question in a note so that everyone has the benefit of learning.

Meet Valarie Jacobs
Valarie Jacobs is no stranger to “Education.” From her Bachelors of Education from the Penn State University to her Masters of Education degree from Howard University in Washington, DC, she has created for herself a world of success through teaching. Post degree acquisition, she opened two children’s fitness centers in the northern Virginia area. While operating the centers full, she decided to explore the opportunities that the Real Estate industry had to offer. Soon after, she became a Licensed Real Estate Agent.
As a business owner, Valarie’s entrepreneurial spirit grew by the day. Her interest in Real Estate began to take the front seat to her other business ventures. Valarie began to study the “non-traditional” methods and strategies of Real Estate investment, learning the ins and outs of the transactions, when agents like her, were not used. She grew an extraordinary amount of understanding when it came to what happened behind the scenes of a real estate transaction. Her transformation to the savvy “guru” that she is now, came from becoming a loan officer so she could competently protect her clients when their best interests may not have been looked after by a mortgage brokers or lenders. She obtained a license in Title Insurance Production and began executing several acquisitions and closings per week.
With a natural heart for teaching, she became a Mentor with one of the largest Real Estate Investment Programs on the East Coast where she coached and mentored over 500 investors. She is thoroughly immersed in all aspects of creating wealth through real estate investment. She is President of DMV Real Estate Investor Association, Vice-President of Dynamic Realty and has a gift of guiding others to their destinies of financial freedom and dreams of being experts in real estate investment.
