Russ Hiner Speaking on Negotiating at Atlanta REIA West on June 27, 2011
Posted on June 27, 2011 by
I’m SO excited about our Very Special Guest Speaker this Monday at the Atlanta REIA West Meeting that I almost wish we could just skip right over the weekend and get right to it! RUSS HINER is gracious enough to come speak with us about “How to Negotiate Your Way to Success”. What a great opportunity to learn priceless negotiating skills from one of Atlanta’s strongest real estate investors! Russ is definitely highly qualified to speak on this topic. Listen to this… you wouldn’t know it from talking with him, because he is not one to “toot his own horn” and he may be upset with me for even sharing this with you, but I found out through the grapevine that his background includes being a coach on the teams of such legends as Russ Whitney and Robert Kiyosaki! You think he may know something about negotiating that we can learn from? ABSOLUTELY!
Let’s face it folks, whether we are buying a house from a seller, selling a house to a buyer, or simply buying something at our local retail store, what comes out of our mouth when we are negotiating on every transaction determines our financial success in life. Those of us who learn to negotiate the best, wind up with the biggest stacks of CA$H! Listen, all the techniques and strategies for buying and selling real estate can be learned along the way, but it’s the negotiating that determines how big our checks are with any strategy. So, it just makes sense that if there is one skill that we as real estate investors should spend our time and efforts learning, practicing, and continually improving upon, it’s DEFINITELY negotiating. And Russ is going to speak on this very topic for us this Monday, June 27th at the Cherokee Cattle Company for FREE for Atlanta REIA Members, and only $5 for non-members! No matter if you haven’t done your first deal yet, or you are a seasoned investor, DON’T MISS THIS ONE, its sure to be some of the best information you could possibly expose yourself to in order to help you get to the next level. See you Monday! Be sure to come early to get a great seat and soak up everything Russ has to share with us. Have a great weekend! I hope it goes by fast!
