Anybody attend the NARS seminar this past weekend? I am especially interested in how the Short sale program with The California Housing Group(TCHG) is coming along. I am trying to understand how the numbers work. I am personally working on three short sales with more coming from my network and marketing efforts. At this point I have heard that Chad’s group gets 80 percent of the profit spread. The other 20 percent goes to NARS with a minimum of 20 percent of the NARS profit going to the Transaction Coordinator(TC). I will not get into the details of Ruby level membership as I will leave that to Bill. So I am trying to understand why Chads group gets so much of the profit spread when all they are doing is the negotiations. I have about 4 negotiation experts that I personally know. All charge a flat fee.
My main question here is who does what to get these closed? Does the TC have to sell the Seller and or Sellers Realtor(r)? Does the TC have to find a buyer? What is the value add to have Chad’s TCHG company negotiate the deals for 80 percent of the profit? See the example below:200K FMV
190K Sales price to final end buyer
170K BPO and offer by investor
20 K spread not including closing costs, commissions, etc.
16K to Chad’s CHG company
4K to NARS
800 dollars to the TC (not taking into account Ruby level)My set up
200K same as above
190K same as above
170K same as above
20K same as above
3400 to “flash funding” lender
3000 to “negotiator fee”
13,600 to my companyI have to be missing something here because Bill is the most honest, straight up guy I have ever met in this business. Maybe I am dreaming I really do not know.
July 21, 2009 at 4:23 pm #29769I am curious as to where you are getting this info from on the pool sharing?
Have you checked with your Account Manager?cork horner

July 21, 2009 at 6:57 pm #29771Cork,
Another thing I would not post info on the pool sharing as hearsay in this forum. I got that split info direct from Bill. Why did you ask the question? Did you hear different?July 21, 2009 at 7:19 pm #29772I think it is prudent to not go into at length what applies only to SoCal for now re NARS/TCHG joint venture and Texas about to begin.
My question to you was: did you check with your Account Manager? have you been to any of the Ruby level trainings on Thursdays?I don’t, because I have a working relationship with the appointed Account Manager for san Diego County who ‘keeps me filled in’ as things evolve/change.
Imo, this latest approach to Short sales is anothe niche market, it’s not for everybody and it is ‘not perfect’. That means there will be Short sales that don’t get accepted by the lender but they will go back to the seller with a ‘ready to go short sale package’ at a stated price/value agreed to by the lender.cork horner

Right okay I agree. I did with the AM over here. He confirmed the split. Yeah half of short sales will not close and they will take a long time to pay out but that is what the market is offering right now so I am going to jump on this ship before it sails off again.
July 21, 2009 at 9:52 pm #29774Homesaver, being on the many ‘ships’ since 1961 when I was first a know-it-all agent at the crisp age of 24[!]
My experience there are lots of ships going a lot of places ALL the time–especially ‘cre’ channels.I know, what do I mean by that.
There are many cre activities all the time, in every city with different ‘ships’ coming and going. Called, in other words; the cycles.
I ponder what are all the boats doing, in what cities, and then appropriate whatever energy I want to apply. Albeit flipping to wholesalers for ‘walking around money’ to working on getting various EHT’s into the ppipeline and just plain ‘paying attention ‘
The greatest challenge these days ;lies in knowing what the wind is doing and where the boats as sailing to.If ya watch Congress and Bernanke, one would wonder if ‘anybody’ knows anything these days.;
i didn’t know Bill G was back priming the pumps, back then, when I started out as a snot nosed Rookie. Now, snot nosed ~50 years later, I continually am looking for who hid the cheese.
I know, I know, what the hell did he say.
Sorry.

July 22, 2009 at 7:16 pm #29775Okay thanks for the input but let’s not going sailing off from the original question and intent of this thread. To answer, Why is Chad getting such a big piece of the pie? What is he doing and what are we doing? If I am just sending him a name, address and phone number a checking into a few details then 20 percent is great. If I have to market and sell the concept to each Seller and their Realtor then that is another thing.
July 22, 2009 at 11:38 pm #29776homvesaver,
Have you had explicit conversations with your Account Manager , yet?That is handled there.
i am building a team for San Diego county consisting of my dedicated broker and agents who will be on our team.
Of course, you can choose whatever you like.

The answer to the question of why Chad’s company (California Housing Group) is getting 80 percent of the NET profit is not at the AM level. This answer comes from the top of this pyramid.
I appreciate your input but you are not the person that should be addressing this. I need to figure this out so I can be comfortable giving up 80 percent plus 80 percent of the 20 percent NARS gets. This leaves very little for the “little guy” on the street.July 23, 2009 at 3:35 pm #29778Homesaver,
you may notice the agenda of todays meeting in Irvine Jul 23 2009 addresses many issues around what MAY be your concerns?U R right, it is NOT my intention or position to speak ‘for the system’.
If you are attempting to get the ‘hierarchy’ to publish its propretary intellectual propert here, it is gonna be a looooong wait. It would anti productive . Does Macy’s tell Gimbles?
You may notice too, the training in San Antonio coming up will include short sales.
a suggestion: the meeting in Irvine starts at 10 a.m. today—’go there’?
Have your ACCOUNT MANAGER represent your questions?
Here is my viewpont: it’s still a ‘free country’ [at some level] and ANYBODY is welcome to start their own widget and gadjet service.
I recommend you do 2 short sales in actual real time….as I am. One thru ‘my way’ and one thru NARS/TCHG. Then compare time and volume results.
Dealt with the ‘Customer service Center’ lately where they are handling 120,000 mortgage arrears/nod’s/loan mods and short sales? Spent any time on the phone with them, lately? I do/I have.

Why someone is requiring 80 percent of the profit has nothing to do with intellectual property. I have no interest in what CHG is doing to put the deals together. Have you ever worked at a JOB? Say you got paid 10 dollars an hour. Your employer got 8 dollars you get 2 dollars. I think you would start asking questions don’t you?
Sure there are other ways to push a short sale through. I personally know at least 6 negotiators and 5 transactional funding sources. If one fails me I just fire them.
However, you may have hit on something significant-Volume. If I can do 10 and spend 1 hour per deal for 2000 dollars versus doing 1 and taking 5 hours that may be significant depending on how much I make per deal.
I do not know about you Cork but I have one Hell of hard time making other people rich.
July 23, 2009 at 6:53 pm #29780Homesaver,
So, you are doing a voluminous short shale program with your ‘team’?I am plugging along one at a time and also am the ‘Transaction Coordinator’ WITH buyer contracts submitted. so far, I have been on the phone with Bank of America on the most recent one for the last 30 days.
I disagree with your what is proprietary and what is intellectual property.
I don’t think it is prident to market company trade secrets on the World Wide Wait system.As to your 80-20 perspective, I know most General Contractors and specialty trades pay out about 20% of their hourly charges to employees.
Unless they use subs and more volume.If it bothered me as much as it bothered you, I would be talking to Bill Gatten and Chad Lyon IN PERSON and not on a witch hunt on the internet. Do you REALLY expect them to address you here?
Your last sentence is the most telling. You “have a hard time making others rich”. ‘Rich’ and wealth lies in team building and sharing the wealth based on WHO is doing what.

This is new to me but it figures that is why the General Contractors are living in the houses on the hill and the employees are in apartmentsIf it bothered me as much as it bothered you, I would be talking to Bill Gatten and Chad Lyon IN PERSON and not on a witch hunt on the internet. Do you REALLY expect them to address you here?
I did talk to Bill about it. I do not know how to contact Chad. Looks like Bill has well answered the question belowYour last sentence is the most telling. You “have a hard time making others rich”. ‘Rich’ and wealth lies in team building and sharing the wealth based on WHO is doing what.
Right but make sure you are not acting as someone’s “dog” for very long.over,
