National Closing Center

Archive for the ‘Uncategorized’ Category

Nothing can replace face to face meetings with Realtors. I wish we had more time to visit them in their offices… There’s always something new to see and learn.

While visiting Hensley’s Prairie Path Realty in Villa Park, IL, I learned quite a few things. For instance, that real estate brokerage can still be an important community center with its own unique character. This is not exactly a thing of a past.

HPPR is a great example. Their office looks more like an antique shop than your typical corporate style brokerage. They treat people who come in their office as if they were their family. In fact, spending a few hours with Hensley’s does feel like watching one big family at work.

And there’s another thing that I learned. Raymond ‘Doc’ Hensley showed me his newest gadget: an old fashioned phone receiver attached to his smartphone. Think of outsmarting a smartphone… Very cool.

If you’re reading this, hope you’re ready for NAR Convention in Anaheim!

We just checked in, set up our booth, prepared some surprises for you and even had a few very productive meetings.

The Convention Center looks wonderfull. We’re trully excited to see you during the next few days. Please do not hesitate to stop by. We want you to leave Anaheim ready to become a short sale listing machine: Work less, close more!

Finally, National Closing Center is on Facebook!

For now, it’s just a bare bones page, but during the coming weeks we will be working on it.

If you’re on Facebook, please find NCC and ‘LIKE’ us!

Exclusive member benefits, webinars, information on short sales and more awaits you.

Thank you for supporting us and we look forward to chatting with you on FB!

We’re back to Chicago…  Home sweet home met us with some seriously chilly weather. In fact, there was more than 50 degree difference between the weather in Dallas and Chicago–107 vs 50!

The good news–we’re back in our office working hard to get approvals for your short sales, developing the second version of our short sale processing platform and, of course, sorting through all the business cards and answering emails.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by our booth in the Five Star Conference in Dallas. Thanks to The Five Star Institute and the beautiful Hilton Anatole Hotel. Thanks for those of you who already visited our website and signed up. We look forward to closing many short sales for you.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by our booth at REO Expo in Fort Forth, TX! We appreciate your suggestions and support. If you haven’t done it yet, make sure you stop by and say “Hi” to us on Tuesday or Wednesday.

This time we have a prime location–we and our partners from California, Capital Cove, are located on the left-hand side just when you walk into the exhibit hall. You really can’t miss the first booth in the hall!

National Closing Center team loks forward to working with you and closing short sales for you–at no cost, fast and efficiently!

Just a quick update on what’s going on with our short sale processing platform. We have made some things simpler and got rid of some redundant features all together.

We have eliminated the broke ID and office ID fields in our initial new member registration form and made it super simple to register. If earlier we used to say it took ‘under a minute’ to become a member of National Closing Center and start enjoying all the perks and benefits of free short sale processing, so now it takes under 30 seconds.

We don’t want your credit card, we don’t want your broker ID or any other sensitive information. Just enter your firs and last name, email and phone number, and you’re in.

As always, the software itself is being updated constantly. Our customer service and our processors and attorneys, however, are the same knowledgeable and reliable people… just the kind of folks you would trust your short sale files to.

If you’re not our member, please register TODAY and let your friends know about NCC.

If you are attending REOMAC Spring Summit in Palm Springs, CA, you must stop by and say hi to the team NCC! Ask as questions, give us your feedback and drop your business card to participate in a drawing of an iPad 2.

Millions of homes have gone into foreclosure in the past two years, and it seems that God’s houses also are starting to fall victim to the recession.

Nearly 200 American houses of worship experienced foreclosure or short sales in the past five years, and the numbers seem to be growing rapidly, said Chris Macke, a spokesman for the CoStar Group, a real estate analysis company.

In 2006, only two churches in the United States lost their buildings to foreclosure or short sale, Macke said. By 2009, the number had grown to 61, and there were 95 in 2010.

While that number is small, “what caught our attention was the rate of increase year over year,” Macke said. “What we’re seeing is religious real estate and secular real estate are subject to the same laws of economics.”
