Coach Collard Recollects the Past

Short Sale Power Hour

Coach Collard, back in late 2008, started a real  estate team that focused meticulously on short sales. In  a matter of 4 months, they went from nothing to approximately  sixty listings. It took some time to put together the  structure, but doing all of the small things like  systems, models, procedures, etc. was initially a  challenge for him.

Nevertheless, he had various things that he did extremely well,  such as escalations and how he handled banks.

Let’s look at a certain case in central Phoenix  that had a area with 38 houses on one  specific road.  Within this area we had a  listing with M & I bank. The bank was very  certain that they would not assume less than $750,000  for the house in spite of the fact that Coach Collard had  an bid on the table for $680,000.  After waiting a  few weeks to let the bank mull over the offer, Coach  started working his way up the food chain to find  the response that he was looking for. 

He finally found a big shot who said yes to the  $680,000 bid just one day before the trustee sale.  However, the buyer then requested a $10,000 discount  because of the location of the house. So, ultimately  the deal fell through.

What might have been done in a different way? Think about  padding your HUD very well.  If you don’t need the  padding to conclude the sale, you could just give it to M & I bank. The  other thing to reflect on is escalating more. 

This is just one of the reasons that it is essential  to have a collaborator. From time to time two brains looking at a  quandary from different angles can turn out improved  results.
