Dear Trina and Aaron,

 

It was a real pleasure to work with you on the 222 Chimney Oak Dr, Joppa, MD settlement. This was the smoothest 'short sale' yet, thanks to both of you and Anne Thai. The quick turnaround on FHA Amendatory / Real Estate Cert was a record...and much appreciated.
 
Also, many thanks for your hospitality at settlement. Your offices are amazing and add a touch of class to an already up and coming neighborhood!

Hi Aaron,

 

I was one of the attendees in your CDPE certification class last week at the NVAR location in Fairfax.

Unfortunately I did not take the opportunity to speak with you in person at the class but I want to thank you for the exceptional presentation that you gave at this training session, I thought you did an excellent job and I think that the CDPE organization is fortunate to have you on their team.

I took the liberty to Google your name and also visiting your websites, and after viewing the many videos and much more that you have posted, I, especially being the new agent as I am, just two years in the business, was overwhelmed with the effort I am seeing on your part. It is obvious why you are successful, congratulations.

 

One of your admirers,

Hi Aaron,

 

Thanks for teaching such an informative, enlightening class. I picked up my 1st high end buyer client as we dicussed the unserved distressed luxury market problem over a huge Ruth Chris dinner.
I will launch my new CDPE business when I return from Jamaica May 2nd. My first targeted mailer will go out just before I return. I will face my shortsale business with a new attitude. 7 new listings next month. I aim to get more than my fair share.

Hi Jonathan,


We wanted to let you know how well the CDPE class is going here in Jacksonville, FL. Aaron Rice is not just a great CDPE trainer; he also is able to relate to agents in real life situations since he is a practicing short sale expert agent. Aaron has given us many ideas on how we can assist consumers when it comes to the short sale process. He has also shared numerous marketing ideas that we are very excited to implement. This is one of the best trainings any agent can receive in regards to short sales and we will continue to encourage all of our agents to participate in future CDPE trainings!

Local Agent Known As The Short Sale Wiki Provides Top Secret Video Testimonials on Luxury Foreclosure Alternatives, Successfull Short Sales

 

For luxury homeowners struggling with mortgage payments, These WikiLeaks explain differences between foreclosure and short sales.

 

BALTIMORE, CITY, MARYLAND - 2/4/2011 - WARNING: The Contents of these Short Sale WikiLeaks may cause your home to sell! Other side effects may include: joy, sudden urge to give a video testimonial, hug your REALTOR®, potentially improve your future financial stability, or last but not least referralitis.

For Immediate Release:

 

Local Agent Provides Resource on Luxury Foreclosure Alternatives, Short Sales

 

For luxury homeowners struggling with mortgage payments, website explains differences between foreclosure and short sales.

 

BALTIMORE, CITY, MARYLAND - 12/8/2010 - Local Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) - designated agent, Aaron Rice of Keller Williams Realty Baltimore, has released an informational report comparing the consequences of a short sale and foreclosure.

 

The report provides a thorough explanation of how a short sale may potentially improve a homeowner's future financial stability.

 

"Considering how damaging foreclosure can be for the homeowner and the surrounding community, it is important that everyone knows all of the alternatives available," Rice said. "This report is the latest addition to my website, which gives luxury distressed homeowners a way to inform themselves on their best options."

 

Currently, more than one in seven homeowners with loans in excess of a million dollars are seriously delinquent. Once a mortgage payment has been missed, the lender has the ability to begin the foreclosure process. A short sale can potentially minimize the damage to one's future loan eligibility, credit score, employment, security clearance and more.

 

"We often see homeowners enter the foreclosure process without any visible means of professional guidance," Rice said. "My hope is to inform the community that there are legal, dignified alternatives to foreclosure." The Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation provides real estate agents with the tools and knowledge needed to efficiently, ethically and effectively pursue foreclosure alternatives, specifically short sales.

 

In addition to their initial training, CDPE-designated agents are connected to a network of professionals via the Distressed Property Institute, allowing them to remain regularly updated on the complex and quickly changing real estate market.

Good morning Aaron,


I was in your class in Denver earlier this week.  Your ideas were great and I realize I need a website. I'm a new agent, 1 year, and I've been very busy building my business listening to everyone's ideas. Actually, I'm taking from the buffet only what I need and what works for me, and leaving the rest. And, I'm trying to eat the elephant one bite at a time.

Thank you in advance. I wear my CDPE pin with pride!

Kindly,

I wanted to take an opportunity to follow up with you regarding the CDPE training class. First of all, I would like to say thank you for such an informative class - you were right, it was like trying to take a drink out of a fire hose.

Our team (3 of us took the class this week), is excited to start helping people work through their short sales and get them back on the right financial track.
 
Thank you again for the great class - I hope to sit in on another one of your sessions in the future.

I've looked at your sites and found them to be very informative. I think that every once in awhile we should let people know how much we appreciate their service to the world. From the classes offered, to the market trend info, to simply being an excellent example of an all around good man, it's all good stuff! By the way, I think your marketing skills are phenomenal as well. Even though I don't know you, I believe we need more people in the world like you. Oh, and I just love the Keller Williams slogan "Giving, sharing, helping", it says allot.

Thanks Aaron. Depending upon what happens today with the townhouse I applied for, I will get movers for June 3rd with the place cleaned out on June 4th. Is this within the time frame Litton has set? You and your team have been life savers!
M. Matthews, Distressed Seller

 

5/20/10

I acknowledge receipt of this expeditious approval from SunTrust and will forward it to my client as soon as I complete this email.  It was also gratifying to note that the bank is paying a 6% commission to the Realtors instead of the published 2% for the selling and buying Realtors respectively on MRIS!

I'm assuming Aaron worked some "magic" to secure this much-needed and deeply appreciated commission increase for us from the bank. Bravo Aaron!

Hello, Aaron.

It was such a pleasure to be in your class. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I went home with my brain spinning from all the new ideas. Now it's just a matter of implementing those ideas. That's the hard part, right? I appreciate your effort and the time you took to teach the class.

2/18/10

Aaron Good morning,
This is O. Hill, I am one of the agents who attended and completed your CDPE February 16th and 17th class in Upper Marlboro, MD. I wanted to take a moment to thank you greatly, for the wealth of knowledge, education, enthusiasm, compassion, and understanding that you brought to this two day course. It was very helpful to me that you have so many years of know how in this business. You seemed to be ready and prepared for the litany of questions that my fellow agents had, for that I am eternally grateful, there is nothing more frustrating than attending a class when you can tell that the instructor/ facilitator is not very knowledgeable in regard to the subject matter or isn't a practitioner. I thank you for also being so completely forthcoming with all of the information on internet advertising that is available at no additional cost to us. I want you to know that I will be keeping in contact with you so if ever I become a pest let me know.

I thank you so very much for you being you. Make today a great day for you Aaron you truly are a real estate rock star.

Thanks

O. Hill, REALTOR®

2/18.10

Hi Aaron,

Don't expect you to remember me but suffice it to say that I was in your CDPE class on Feb 17th. Since you were kind enough to offer giving us "stuff" if we sent you an email to remind you, consider this a request for the following:

1) Copy of weekly StatusGrams

2) 101 Ways to use Virtual Assistants

3) Forgot what you called it - it's your Attack Plan (Marching Orders?

Yikes, truly forgot and I can't read my notes!)

My colleague (G. Shikwa) has already signed up for the Advanced Version and is planning to join you for the Phone Rescue Workshop tomorrow.

We are part of a team and have already told our other team members to get certified ASAP! Best $600.00 I ever spent.

Cordially, M. Gilbert, REALTOR®

Hi Aaron.
What a great class today.
Would Monday be good for a coaching call?
Thanks!
