I built my business to take advantage of what I knew was coming and put systems in place to leverage technology and a couple contracted helpers. Once I list a short sale there isnt much for me to do other than move docs around via fax/email and take phone calls. Offers roll in and I see all kinds of buyers who are out there pleading their case to us. I have someone who handles all the lender negotiations for me and he has for the last 4 years across about 100 deals. I could do that part of the business from the beach.
BTW I dont sit around all day. I’m always on the move running in and out. But the first thing I do when I get back to my home office is sit down at the computer move some docs around and play with my piggies.
