If you would like to learn how to successfully do short sale deals, we have a specially scheduled Training Opportunity Webcast coming up very soon.

Join Realtor, Broker, Short Sale Expert and Trainer, Kimberlee Frank on Monday, February 6th at 7PM for a special webcast where she will share her secrets of how she and her students find and successfully close short sale deals down in Orlando, FL and around the country. Things are constantly changing in the short sale industry on a daily basis and if you don’t change with it, you won’t make a dime.
