Short Shale Genius Imparts Additional Knowledge
We are embarking on day two with Trent Chapman and we’re taken aback by the number of appearances Trent has had on shortsalepowerhour.com. We asked Trent to come back to speak about the Short Sale Genius Designation course. Everyone understands that we are not huge fans of designations. We have contributed on our own designation recently, but we stole that from Trent. Still, Trent has decided to do a real designation. The designation is for agents who work with distressed homes.
The designation is different from other designations. With other designations, you go to a lecture and take a test and receive your designation. With the Short Sale Genius designation, there are distinct levels based on how many short sales you have closed.
If you take the class you will get a general designation, but it will also note how many short sales you have closed. Trent merely figured that taking a class and passing a test didn’t make somebody an expert. So, he decided to introduce a little bit of common sense and honesty into the process.
On a new note, software is something that many other agents ask about. Trent offers software that is state of the art with features that assist the agent that is doing a few transactions or hundreds. His system essentially coaches you along in the short sale procedure. There are red flags that let you know if a file is out of compliance or taking excessively long. There is also a characteristic that allows the house owner to log in and see the standing of their file. It was particularly created for short sales. Check out the theshortsalegenius.com
