“The key to success is to focus on GOALS, not OBSTACLES.” ~Unknown

Dear Team, Last week we hosted a listing panel comprised of 5 of our top listing agents who are among the very best at getting their listings sold! I hope that their pearls of wisdom were helpful as we tackle this extremely low inventory market. While low inventory remains a significant challenge, the pent up buyer demand and all time low interest rates have created a surge of home sales. Based on our current forecast, we should exceed the June closed sales budget. With that being said, we continue to use the term, "cautious optimism" to describe our business. Knowing that we are all hungry for information to share with our clients and prospects, I have included a few articles about our industry for your review: • Mortgage rates nose-dive to new low and bring out the buyers: https://ca.yahoo.com/news/mortgage-rates-nose-dive-low-155200304.html • Real estate is still a popular investment pick. Here's what you need to know about buying in a downturn: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/12/investing-advice-real-estate-investment-buying-a home-in-a-downturn.html • Forget About Recessionary Real Estate Bargains: Home Prices Are Still Rising: https://www.realtor.com/news/real-estate-news/prices-rise-in-may-coronavirus/ • Jeff Bezos Says 10 Choices Lead to a Life Without Regrets: https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/jeff-bezos-says-10-choices-lead-to-a-life-without regrets.html The last article is not business focused as much as it is life focused. I think that many of us have seen life through a different lens recently and the questions Jeff Bezos poses are thought provoking. Much love,

REAL ESTATE REVIEW…MIKE LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON ABOUT FOLLOWING UP! It all starts with Real Estate Reviews and gets back to Ninja business actions, maintaining communication and trying to position myself as a trusted advisor. I did a review for clients who bought a home two and a half years ago, they are in AutoFlow but shame on me I had not kept up with them otherwise. In January I did the review, called up talked to Mrs, I mentioned I had already put the information together and could I drop it by. She said sure and we ended up spending 40 minutes together. She showed me around and shared what they had done to the place since they bought it. During our visit, she mentioned her husband is getting ready to retire at the end of 2020, in all likelihood they would be moving to Texas. My internal dialogue – they are going on my warm list.

Fast forward to March, we invite them to a Bloody Mary Springing the Blues event, they beg off. Shortly thereafter, they call me for some advice on attorneys, Mr had just been laid off. Now I am the trusted advisor again. Just 3 days ago they called me to list their home, and we will be signing the agreement tomorrow. The Real Estate Review connected us after 2.5 years of radio silence. With all the success I’ve had with these, I think maybe I’ll amp this up to the Ninja recommendation of 2 of them per week.

Mike

HOME WARRANTY SUCCESS I just watched the second training video for the Let's talk CRM. What a game changer for me! It is worth more than the 2 minutes required to watch! Awesome video! I've also started paying attention to email tracking, looking at how many people are opening the emails I send. The numbers were amazing! In one week I sent 330 emails & 46% were opened. How crazy is that? Over 170 emails opened by my database in 1 week! I’m still working hard on my CRM, better ways to utilize it, and updating information for each client in my database. I cannot believe how much I have underused it. Covid-19 has become a serious game changer for me in how I run my business-not just connecting to clients-but how I utilize the tools the company offers me.

POWER OF ATTORNEY: The use of a Power of

Attorney must be approved in advance of settlement by the closing agent and your lender. If you are planning to use a Power of Attorney, inform the closing agent as soon as possible to allow time to properly review the document.

MARITAL STATUS: Spouses may be required to sign

certain closing documents even though they do not intend to hold title and their name will not appear on the deed. Check with your closing agent and lender to see what documents you and your spouse will be required to sign at closing.

Although closing procedures vary from state to state, having an understanding of what may be required at closing and preparing accordingly will help your settlement process go as smoothly as possible. HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE (Hazard/Flood): Your lender will require a copy of the policy(s) and a paid receipt prior to closing. The lender’s full name and address must be shown on the policy. CONDOMINIUM APPROVAL: Written approval of the

sale may be required from the Condominium Association. Your closing agent must have this approval form in order to close. Be sure to make application early in order to avoid any delay in closing.

It is very important to understand, you can’t “double dip” on the rent. For example, if a tenant fails to give proper notice when vacating, you could hold them responsible for the rent until “proper notice” is fulfilled. But if you find a replacement tenant within a few days, then you can’t keep the new rent AND the former tenant’s deposit – simply because you can’t claim any actual damages (other than a few days of vacancy) since a new tenant started paying. It is against the law. Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC is not affiliated with any government agencies.

This offer must be presented at time of application and all eligibility requirements met no later than 2 days prior to the New Loan closing date.
