I would like to ask you a favor, if you can take a few minutes to check out my new website designed to teach realtors & auctioneers the 'The Secrets of an AARE Auctioneer' or:

How to make money offering auctions to your clients whether the property sells or not.

http://www.aareauctioneer.com/

The program was originally developed to be used only by auction listing agents who work exclusively for my company.

The problem with the exclusivity was, auctioneers wanted to get my processes, forms, contracts, techniques etc. but did not want to be tied into channeling 100% of their real estate auctions through me. That is an objection that I totally understand but I did not want to 'give my playbook' to the competition, which is something that you all understand too.

Realtors have been knocking at my door wanting me to teach them about real estate auctions but like auctioneers they think they can do it all themselves and don't want to share the deals or commissions with us. Kind of the same mentality as with the auctioneers and being one who earns about 10% from every real estate transaction without any splits, exclusivity to be trained is something I would not want to do either.

I am a student of the industry and have purchased every book, training program that I could find and have attended more real estate and auction seminars and workshops than I care to remember. My research has shown that outside of the National Auctioneers Association's Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate (AARE) certification program there is nothing on the market today designed to teach the real estate professional the A to Z of real estate auctions.

That has now changed with my workshop which includes a manual or kit that is over 350 pages and growing titled:

The Secrets of an AARE Auctioneer

The Most Complete Guide to Selling Real Estate at Auction Available

This training program is not only beneficial to realtors and the general real estate public but a number of auctioneers whom I have worked with, blog with and asked for feedback on the program are ready to fly to Maryland for the first session!

WOW all I asked for was a little feedback from a few industry professionals I know, some who think the right to use my Uniform Standard Real Estate Auction Listing agreement is worth ten times what we are charging for the workshop.

The listing agreement cost me about $100,000.00 in legal fees to develop and another $10 million in trial and error field use while we have been 'vetting' it over the past five-years and its simply 'The Industry Standard' for listing real estate auctions but until now was only available to our agents

The initial workshop / seminar style training program is designed to be taught in a conference room setting to large groups of 100 to 250 people at a time as an all day event. Here is an outline of the course schedule: http://www.aareauctioneer.com/workshop-schedule.php

The cost is $395.00 per person which is cheaper than any other real estate auction training program in the marketplace and its the only one (again outside AARE) that was developed by a certified auctioneer with 'in the field experience' who has had to eat what he kills so to speak.

The only other ways to get this type of real estate auction training are:

1) Trial and error and as stated above you can learn from the $10 million in mistakes I have made.

2) Purchase a franchise in California or Colorado for $25,000 to $100,000

3) Attend AARE for a week at a cost of about $2,500.00 (worth every penny by the way)

4) Attend the NAR auction workshop prepared by realtors without any real input from auctioneers and taught by realtors with zero marketing experience. The course was given really *BAD* reviews by people who have attended both the courses and the 'Train the Trainer' sessions but since they are realtors don't want to be named.

5) Sign up for any number of "Learn how to sell your home in 5-days" programs on the Internet, again prepared by realtors and people with little to no auction experience for $500 to $1,500 or pay www.auctionmentoring.com $10,000.00 to be a listing agent.

6) Get a job with an established auction company that offers real estate auction services and mentor at a low wage or split commission while you are learning, maybe even sign a non-compete as part of your employment agreement.

7) Attend the Secrets of an AARE Auctioneer workshop seminar and receive 'The Most Comprehensive & Complete Guide to Selling Real Estate at Auction Available' which is 350 pages and growing along with several CD's jam packed with useful information, developed by a practicing auctioneer.

Please take a look at the website http://www.aareauctioneer.com/ and download my e-book which is a 'myth buster' about what top realtors think auctioneers really do and get back to me with your feedback.

'Myth Busting' Auction misconceptions by realtors & the public 'Exposed.' is the headline for our new website dedicated to teaching Realtors and real estate professionals the mechanics of real estate auctions.

AUCTION FACT: OVER 1-MILLION PROPERTIES WERE SOLD AT AUCTION DURING 2008!

Did you know that there are less than 350 people who hold and have earned the Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate designation offered by the National Auctioneers Association, which is the only organization with the credibility to offer auctioneering designations?

The National Association of Realtors predicts that one out five real estate transactions will be sold by auction in less than 5-years, yet there is no standardization of the real estate auction industry or auctioneer designed training for realtors.

• Selling as is where is with no fix up expense or repair contingencies
• All cash no contingency contract with 30-day closing
• Guaranteed sale of their property in about 30-days
• Buyer pays all of the closing costs
• No seller commission!

THE NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

1.4 million Members of the National Association of Realtors sold about 5 million properties during 2008 or about 3½ properties each or about 1 sale every 4 months. (If averaged)

5,000 Members of the National Auctioneers Association (with less than 350 holding the AARE designation) and there were over 1-million properties sold at auction during 2008, which spread equally would average about 200 each or 16 properties a month each.

BASED ON THE NUMBERS WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR PROPERTY IN THIS MARKET?

Are you starting to get the picture about the earnings potential by offering real estate at auction?

AUCTIONEER SECRET: HOW TO CHARGE UP TO 50% MORE COMMISSION THAN "TRADITIONAL" NEGOTIATED SALES.

This is the most comprehensive training from an experienced hands-on auctioneer available to the general real estate community.

The program has been developed ‘in the field' with verifiable results from a person with a proven track record in the marketplace.

As an Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate (A.A.R.E.) who has been involved in over 3,000 real estate transactions since 1988, I have decided to teach people how to sell real estate at auction and offer real estate auctioneering services to your sellers, without becoming an auctioneer.

AUCTION FACT: The marketplace needs tens of thousands of people who can deliver auctioneering services today, not 3-years from now and using our proven system you can cash in now.

LEARN HOW TO GET PAID WHETHER THE PROPERTY SELLS OR NOT!

The program we are offering was originally conceived in March of 2004 with the intent of giving traditional real estate agents the ability to offer real estate auctions to their seller customers. The market in 2004 saw 400% to 2,000% price appreciation and most agents simply were too busy to spend any time with auctions but times have changes. Everyone I presented the program to kept asking the same questions; what have you done with this so far? How much money have you made? We are selling everything we list so fast that we don't have time to waste giving away property at fire sale prices.

So I went to work farming, listing and auctioning property so I could answer those questions with examples, case studies and cancelled closing checks.

If a picture is worth ten thousand words how much do you think I made from this one?

2005 - 2006 & 2007 I started making so much money listing and performing auctions that recruiting and training listing agents was not that important and to be honest most realtors had a pretty bad attitude towards auctions and auctioneers during those bubble years.

AUCTION MYTH: AUCTIONS ARE FIRE SALES WHERE YOU GIVE AWAY PROPERTY!

AUCTION FACT: A properly advertised and promoted auction will deliver 100% of the present cash market value for a property 100% of the time!

There is nothing sadder than when a real estate auctioneer hears than "we sold it in less than a week" because we know there was money left on the table, it's really just a question of how much.

The picture above is a perfect example where several agents proposed listing the property with the highest price proposed being $315,000.00. At auction there were 7-registered bidders and the property delivered $577,500.00 to the sellers and I earned a $57,750.00 Commission check for less than 20-hours total work on the auction event.

QUESTION: How would you like to be able to ask potential real estate sellers this question?

"Mr or Mrs. Seller; would you like to sell your property for 100% of the present cash market value in about 4 to 6 weeks, in as-is condition, with no fix up and no seller commission?"

AUCTION FACT: Our auction marketing delivered an all-cash, no-contingency buyer after 33- days of aggressive marketing for $650,000.00 plus a 10% Buyers Premium and closed in 24-days!

AUCTION MYTH: AUCTIONS ARE FIRE SALES WHERE YOU GIVE AWAY PROPERTY!

If auctions are fire sales or giveaways why do multi-millionaires and billionaires buy and sell high end art, antiques, furniture, real estate and collectable cars at auction?

• Last year the record price for a vehicle was set at absolute (no minimum no reserve price) auction with a Shelby Cobra delivering $5,000,000.00 plus an 8% Buyers premium.
• There is a mentality amongst auction buyers that if someone is going to steal it, then it's going to be me and they pay full market value every time!

WE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO GET PAID OFFERING AUCTIONS EVEN WHEN THE PROPERTY DOES NOT SELL!

Learn how to stop foreclosures.

Learn how to cash in on short-sales.

The price, list & pray method of selling real estate is broken and does not work in this market.

Homes are having birthdays or anniversaries of being listed on the market with few showings and no "offers" at any price. People who are behind in their payments or facing foreclosure cannot even get an "offer" for a short sale. Agents are wasting time sitting at open houses where nobody even bothers to show up.

AUCTION FACT: AUCTIONS ARE THE SOLUTION TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS IN 2009

Auctions deliver results and by becoming part of this new wave of the real estate industry you can be delivering CASH CONTRACTS to your clients and customers instead of excuses.

I have taken my complete course which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce and I'm offering it for the first time to real estate agents and opportunity seekers in a workshop format. The program is totally proprietary and designed for people who would be exclusive auction listing agents listing auctions for my company only; but the truth of the matter is:

AUCTION FACT: THERE IS TOO MUCH REAL ESTATE AUCTION BUSINESS FOR ANY ONE COMPANY TO HANDLE & THE PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TO REAL ESTATE AGENTS & OPPORTUNITY SEEKERS
