New Law Gives Renters Protection During Foreclosure, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. I've heard too many stories about homeless families because THEY paid their rent on time BUT the homeowner did not pay the mortgage! I jumped up and down when I read this new law.

An urgent email from the National Low Income Housing Coalition says:

"Important protections for tenants living in foreclosed properties were signed into law by President Obama. The renter protection provisions took effect immediately and expire at the end of 2012. S. 896 contains key renter protections, advocated for by NLIHC and other organizations:

• 90-day pre-eviction notice to tenants whose homes have gone into foreclosure.
• The rights of tenants to remain in their homes for the terms of their leases. (However, if the new owner will live in the home, leases can be terminated subject to the 90 day notice.)
• Tenants with Section 8 vouchers able to remain with both their lease and rental assistance payments intact, subject to the rights of the purchaser at foreclosure who wants to occupy the home after 90 days notice.

"Currently, in most states, renters get little or no notice to vacate their homes upon their landlords' foreclosures. The new federal law will not preempt state laws that provide a greater level of renter protections at foreclosure."

Thank you for all your advocacy and support to make sure innocent renters are offered protection against losing their homes without reasonable notice. For more information, visit www.nlihc.org or contact the NLIHC Outreach Team at (202) 662-1530 or at outreach@nlihc.org.

Rich Levin, top real estate trainer, sent me a great article that I just had to share! It's called "The Four Required Skills to Work with Buyers" and says "there are four distinct skills you need to develop to take full advantage of this tremendous opportunity with buyer leads:"

1. Contact the leads
2. Convert the leads into appointments
3. Develop and conduct a winning buyer presentation
4. Stay in touch with the leads until they buy from you or you drop them

First you need the habit and discipline of contacting enough of the leads that you generate to reach your goals. Most Agents generate enough leads to reach their next level of production. What they lack is the habit of following up on all the leads they generate.

When you get a lead, call it that minute. If you can't that minute and most of the time you can. But if you really can't, call it at the next ten minute break you have in your day.

"The Art, Science, and Story of PowerPoint Presentation Design" was a sold-out standing-room-only presentation by top writer and business consultant Adele Sommers at a recent STC meeting. She demonstrated the "10 types of design and delivery dilemmas, related mistakes, and a set of corresponding remedies. They can easily apply to any presentations you create with slide software, such as Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Apple® Keynote, or the free Google® Presentations software."

Below are Adele's TOP TIPS:

• Tip #1: Text - Display only one basic idea per slide. Place your talking points (your narration script) in your handouts and speaker notes.
• Tip #2: Graphics - Let relevant and symbolic photos; drawings; screen captures; and simple maps, charts, graphs, and diagrams do most of the visual "heavy lifting."
• Tip #3: Details - Put the intricate image details in the handouts instead of on the slides to avoid overloading your audience's visual processing abilities. Avoid "branding" your slides with your logo, which can be distracting.
• Tip #4: Special effects - Use relevant sounds, videos, animations, transitions, and physical props -- in moderation -- to highlight or demonstrate key points.
• Tip #5: Focus - Begin by framing your audience's role, perspective, and needs. Then introduce the challenge the audience faces and your solution, and explain the actions that the audience members can take.
• Tip #6: Structure - Create a logical sequence and flow based on a scalable hierarchy of detail, starting with an audience orientation.
• Tip #7: Scope - "Chunk" all of your material into just 3-4 main topics. Include reviews along the way to summarize your information. Practice extensively beforehand while timing yourself, so you can then "scope" your talk using the scalable 5-, 15- and 45-minute detail hierarchy from your outline.
• Tip #8: Remember to face your audience. If you break eye contact with your attendees to read from projected slides, it interrupts the flow and further splits the audience's attention.

• Tip #9: Remember to converse with your audience. Not engaging the audience enough during your presentation invites their attention to wander elsewhere.

• Tip #10: Remember to respect your audience's time. Running way overtime trying to cover too much information in the time available dilutes your impact and can even cause resentment.
