Bob MasseyHave you ever had the problem of coming across a great short sale deal but it’s listed with an agent who refuses to work with you because you’re an “investor”?  Ever had an agent tell you that flipping short sales is illegal? Would you like to know what to say to those agents to get them to work with you and not against you? On October 6th, 2011, Bob Massey did a Training Opportunity Webcast with Atlanta REIA to teach us some simple ways to overcome the issues that often separate agents and real estate investors and prevent us forming profitable, working relationships. Bob addressed many of the common issues we must face when working with agents and also talked about how to make some huge profits investing in short sales by working with agents. Just so you know, Bob is one of the foremost educators in the country when it comes to teaching both real estate agents and real estate investors to work together for their mutual benefit and profit and has been doing so for years.
