Yes, I’m lazy. This is an email I received from the Mortgage Press. I’m all about free training, and anything that helps LO’s find ways to work with RE Agents is probably worth their time.
Yes, 2008 can be the year of the Real Estate Agent for you. We have been able to secure 10 slots for you and anyone at LENDERAMA for the upcoming AskWalterSanford.com Tele-Seminar. During these 70 minutes, you can get inside the mind of America’s # 1 Real Estate Agent, Walter Sanford.

Who is Walter and how can he help LENDERAMA?
For our subscribers who are not familiar with Walter Sanford, here’s a few tidbits of information about Walter:
* He was ranked as North America’s #1 residential real estate agent for 16 straight years
* He has closed more than 300 transactions per year
* His annual production volume has been over $65 million
* Has a database of more than 26,000 clients
* Holds a record of $3 billion in closed transactions
There’s no better time to capture agent business—because people are still buying houses in today’s market, and up to 40% of the buyers are asking their agent to recommend a mortgage professional they can ‘trust’ in today’s market.
How much of that business are you getting?

thanks, Todd! Real useful.
I’m glad I don’t close 300 transactions a year! Seriously, I’d have to kill myself!
Having said all of that I think it’s important that more and more lenders learn how REALTORs think. Though we share the same clients we have different goals for them.
And it will take a little effort to win over an established agent. Just because your business is down doesn’t mean we’ve been waiting for you.
UK estate agents may become regulated soon under the FSA to stabilise completions however regulation often increases costs which are passed on to the public and impedes growth.
