Many Thanks
I'd like to publicly acknowledge Megan Viering and my wife Donna for the great job they're doing on closing these REO deals. I'm just the front guy who does the pictures/videos, they are the ones doing the heavy lifting daily to get them closed.
We have one closing today, a manufactured home that needed FHA certification, which means something about the tags needed to be verified and foundation retrofitted. Usually you can get the help of the seller, but when it's an REO, what do you do?
I don't know exactly how they figured it out, but they got Countrywide to pay $2,250 for it, which is a minor miracle in itself. They also got the septic tank pumped and certified when no one knew where it was.
Yesterday the buyer's agent, who does her fair share of buyer-side REO deals, called to say it was the best experience she's ever had in dealing with the listing office, and the escrow officer also sent this along:
"Many thanks for all your help and an awesome job you and your team did. It made my life easier!"
Thank you Donna and Megan for your tireless efforts. I appreciate what you do!
Jim the Realtor

Congratulations even though sometimes I give Realtors a hard time. Putting deals together in this market has to be difficult. Hard work is rewarded. Stories like this are what I want to hear a regarding where my 6% is going.
I've said that the only thing a great leader needs to know is how to surround himself with good people. Looks like you have that quality, Jim. :)
Plus, it can never hurt to suck up to the wife in public. (I believe it was you who said on this very blog, "a happy wife is a happy life")
