When one of our F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate Agents list a property in Northwest Indiana subject to lenders approval of a short sale, as Broker/Owners, we help them facilitate the process once an offer to purchase is received until the transaction successfully closes.
Recently, our agent Olga Kwolek had such a listing that received an offer and within 29 business days we had a lender approval in writing and it JUST SOLD!
Mentoring and Coaching is part of a Principal Brokers role in our opinion!
Not all short sales are the same. Providing insight and support once an accepted offer is received can help our agents firsthand, there is an ol saying -> teach them by showing them!
We've even had several lenders who represent the buyers of our agents listings call and thank us for getting involved (as brokers) in our agents deals to provide suggestions when situations arise so that a purchase transaction can move forward.
Collective experience and knowledge come in handy sometimes in problem solving:)
Being accessible to our agents to help them is our duty.

In these changing times with social media morphing at about the rate of the speed of light... LOL...i.e. micro blogging on twitter... the whirlwind of RE barcamp and who knows what next (Google wave?).....
Our most recent listing that sold was brought to us courtesy of another type of social networking :
Interacting personally with past clients - > sphere of influence.
Here's how it went :)
We were driving by a former clients home in Valparaiso, IN and saw an empty garbage can at the curb of a very long driveway.
Yea, my Jeff responded, "He reminds me of my grandfather. I'm gonna stop and take the trash can up the driveway for them and put it near the garage so they don't have to."
We tried to make our stop transparent (just do the deed and leave), but the wheel of the trash can got stuck in the groove between the driveway and grass. When Jeff pulled it up, the can tilted and knocked off the rear view mirror on the drivers side of our truck ;0
As Jeff wheeled the can up the driveway, our clients came out. After thanking him for wheeling the trash can up for them, Jeff asked to borrow some duck tape, (reluctant to explain what had just happened). He ended up telling them while laughing about it, after they asked why he needed the duck tape... and told them it was no big deal.
The next comment I heard from our client was pricless & well worth the stop. "In all my years of building and selling homes, I've never had a REALTOR do such a nice thing for me, and I've worked with many."
"Well," Jeff said, not missing a beat, "Keep us in mind if you know of anyone needing our services other than trash can retrieval." and we all laughed.
Funny thing..... the next day we get an email from a relative of this former client......asking for our services to list and sell multiple properties in NW Indiana.
Connecting by social media is something we are striving to learn.....
Connecting in person is still the best !

Just as the seasons change here in NW Indiana, we help clients achieve their Real Estate Goals in various seasons in life. We look forward to serving you.
