Keller Williams Realty Professionals in Oak Park is proud to announce the addition of another great agent to our team!
Loria Hamilton-Field
Loria was with Keller Williams before and left to be a large independent company in Oak Park. When asked why KW and why did you want to come back, here was her response:
"I came back to KW for a couple of reasons. After being with a company for over a year that treated me like just another number, I missed the atmosphere. I never felt like I was just another salesperson with KW. Everyone always took a genuine interest in helping me with my business. This really felt more like coming back home. I also came back because of the training and support. I've attended tons of trainings and seminars over the past year and KW is in a league of their own. I missed the accessibility of training on any and all subjects crucial to my business. Finally, in this economic climate I truly appreciate a company that wants me to get ahead financially. The commission splits are fair and give me an attainable incentive."
Welcome back Loria, we are glad you decided to join us and take your business to the next level!

How many agents have multiple short sale listings? How many agents have ever tried to do the exact same thing to each and every short sale listing? How many brokers have agents in their offices that are listing short sales but have never had an "formal" training on the matter? When our real estate attorney began to ask me these questions, over a year ago, we decided that we would come up with a short sale packet that would forever answer these questions.
No agent in our office could participate in a short sale unless they had been through the training and used the packet. That way, all of our listings for short sales were handled professionally and in a consistent manner, so there was no risk of any problems arising from different treatment of people for one reason or another.
What we found is that the agents who embraced the program began listing more and more short sale homes, and, as a result, began closing more and more short sale homes. This was a GOOD THING. We decided to take the packet and test it in several markets throughout the country where short sales played a major part of the economy, and we have had GREAT success thus far.
Now, the packet is available nationwide through our efforts of partnering with the right people to help us get the information out there. As a thank you to all who purchase the short sale packet from ShortSalePacket.com and all who join the ShortSalePacket.org national referral network, we will be donating 10% of all revenue - not profit, but REVENUE, from each packet sold and each referral received, directly to KW Cares, a non-profit organization ran by Keller Williams Realty that assists agents when they are in need.
We feel so strongly aout this product, we are even giving up our portion of the profit over the next few days to get this into the hands of agents. If you are interested in purchasing the product, please go to http://www.ShortSalePacket.com to learn more about it and click on ORDER NOW to purchase the packet.

As a BONUS right now, we are also giving you a short section on BPO's and a list of 96 BPO websites to register your information. It is that simple, purchase the packet today with the coupon code provided below, and receive the entire packet and BPO list for $179.00. Also, know that $17.90 of your purchase will go to KW Cares to help agents in need. Lastly, know that the coupon code is only good for one week, until April 4th, 2009. After that, the price goes back to $199.00

The only requirement is that you use the packet you purchased from us and that you pay a referral fee of 25% of the listing side of the transaction.
We hope you are as concerened about the risk management of short sales as we are, and we hope that you have already taken steps to avoid any future problems. If you have or have not, this packet will help you do so. Written by real estate attorneys, the packet has proven successful in several situations throughout the country - with the agent and the seller, the bank and the seller, even the seller, buyer, and buyer's agent.
Please feel free to join our Short Sale Success Group on LinkedIn and our Keller Williams Short Sale Expertsgroup on Facebook. You do not have to be a member of Keller Williams to join either group.
