June Forum 2011

Many topics, other than those shown in the agenda, were discussed. Really great ideas were shared for increasing production, enhancing customer interaction, increasing your Book of Business, ethics issues, legal issues, and best practices. Attached are a few photos for your enjoyment.

Walter Church, Attorney at Law, Law Offices of Walter Church, briefed everyone on unconventional financing options for distressed properties where sellers are upside down on their mortgages. Mr Church shared in detail the process of closing WRAP around transactions where the first lien is wrapped by a second inferior lien carried by the seller. Sellers whose mortgages are more than their home’s market value are potential candidates for this type of sale. Typically, these sellers cannot qualify for a short sale because of their favorable income and employment and thus have few options to foreclosure. The WRAP transaction might be an option for them to consider. Mr Church was accompanied by Kathleen Church, Attorney at Law, who assists at his Law Offices. Be sure to contact either one of these able attorneys should you or your customers need help legal counsel on real estate issues. Great Information, Many Thanks Mr Church!!

Kim Kelman, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage (WFHM), briefed everyone on the Wells Fargo Reciprocation Program. Kim wants to become your first choice in loan officers. This program offers our agents another opportunity and source for buyer and seller leads in addition to the venues already available through our company. Reciprocation means it is incumbent upon you, our agent, to refer buyers you secure from our company and other sources to WFHM, specifically to Kim. Kim met with a number of our agents after The Forum and set up a Bank Days Program for July 15, 2011. Fantastic and Way to Go Kim!!

Patrick, Nancy, and Kristi, First American Title, dropped in on The Forum. Their message was on of service to CENTURY 21 United-Northside agents and staff. This is the most highly qualified and agent centric Title Teams in San Antonio. Anything you need regarding property details you can obtain by simply placing the call to this team. We are proud to be associated with this wonderful group. Great Team Work Patrick, Nancy, and Kristi!!

Mark Castricone, Chuck Henry, and Hector Escobar related their experiences of the past month. Their insights were thoughtful and beneficial to everyone. Real estate is an unusual business where you must always be flexible and wear many hats to succeed. Super Information, Many Thanks to Mark, Chuck, and Hector!!

June Sales Meeting

Cynthia Hinman, Sales Counselor, Woodside Homes, provided an excellent luncheon for everyone. Agents toured the model. Afterwards, Cynthia took us on a tour of one of her spec homes. She explained all the wonderful benefits of the community, such as, accessibility to centers of employment, shopping, dining, and entertainment venues. She also mentioned the opportunity for our agents to win an I pod when they sell a Woodside Home. Wonderful Luncheon and Great Homes, Way to Go Cynthia!!

We had a great Sales Meeting. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Cynthia and the hospitality she demonstrated was wonderful. She was a really good sport. Thanks Cynthia!!
