Barry Johnson…
Another week gets started off right here at Real Estate Radio USA. After talking about the latest news out of NAR, we went had an interview with Tom Long from the Osceola County Landlord Association. He is an interesting guy and a savvy investor. His personal investment strategy is to buy and hold, but he never limits his options when it comes to disposition.
Today we discussed the 12 Steps to Real Estate Agent Success. Not to offend anyone, but people suffering addictions have been successful changing their lives with similar steps, why not real estate agents. Really look these over and listen to this episode to learn more and hear us discuss each one in detail.

I am a realtor and I know you guys bag on us all the time but I am trying to learn as much as I can about short sales. I have 4 listings 2 of them will have to be shorted. On one property I think I will have to short the first and the second.
We just put on market. Right now I am advertising it very low to get a offer to submit to the bank to get things moving. My seller has already contacted bank to get a seller packet for the short sale. I need to call the bank and start making the contacts for the short sale my question is what do I need to do to be able to get the lenders to work together so that the 1st and second both get money and we are able to sell this house. PLEASE help I love your show and you guys obviously know what your talking about.
