BrokeripTV : We are talking with Grant Dolby today team leader for Keller Williams. And Grant wants to talk about some of those niche markets, a lot of realtors think that foreclosures are the place to be right now. What are your thoughts on that market place?
Grant Dolby: Well. Definitely foreclosures are huge opportunity. They are not for every one because they are also extremely challenging and very technical and even though thats a very obvious opportunity right now, and I am noticing a lot of agents are shying away from working foreclosures. So I think the challenges for agents to get the technical expertise and then be prepared to go and work in that market its too big an opportunity to ignore.
BrokeripTV : How about the dangers of working in a short sale of the foreclosure that agent should know about?
Grant Dolby: Well. On the listing side, for the listing agent I dont think that foreclosures and short sales are all that difficult or terrible because you got the sign and you got the listing and its bringing you business. For the buyers agent trying to work to short sale, it can be an entirely different equation. Because if you cant get that buyer into that particular house you are not going to have a good experience.
BrokeripTV : I have heard horror stories about banks holding up these short sale deals because they are taking their sweet time getting their ducks in a row and mandating specific things and agents not getting paid commissions and things like that . Have you heard some of the same?
Grant Dolby: I heard about it and you see in but it is kind of like
