I was not around last time the “short sale” slammed into the economy. So I attended a seminar this week from a very knowledgeable lender to learn just what was coming my way.

In addition to the technical terminology and ins and outs of dealing with lenders, sellers and buyers I learned something very valuable, Realtors must once again be ready to educate our clients and be the source of the source, pointing them in the direction where they can receive sound advice to make decisions that impact their lives.

Of course, in seminars such as these there is always one doomsayer that recalls how he has been involved with these and how horrible it is, taking up time with his tales of woe.

If my business is going to thrive in this tumultuous time I need to be informed so that I can inform. Home staging class here I come!
