“Successful Short Sales”

Foreclosures in the US are at an all-time high. People are saving less and less, and most people do not have much equity in their home. Short selling real estate is the best way to create equity in these homes where the seller is extremely motivated to sell. The best part is that banks are highly motivated to work with you because they do not want to take another home into their inventory.

Graham Treakle is a former banker. Having a former banker's insider perspective, on short selling real estate, will skyrocket your business to success by giving you the confidence and knowledge to communicate more effectively with the banks. This will literally make you thousands more on your very next deal. Don't you agree that having a banker on your investment team will help you make thousands? Do you think that adding thousands dollars on each deal would make your life better?

Here is what one of Graham's students have to say about his system:

..As an Ex- Banker turned Short Sale Expert, Graham knows Exactly how banks operate because he was the one at the bank making the decisions. Graham has condensed his knowledge into an easy, complete & highly effective system , endorsed by the best foreclosure investors in the country. This is quantifiable data NOT just conjecture. Believe me, I have spent countless dollars on so-called guru’s “systems” BUT I hadn’t learned anything like what Graham teaches!

About Graham

Graham bought his first foreclosed property three months after graduating from college. “I learned in college that about 90% of millionaires start in the real estate business, and I have followed that model ever since. On my very first investment property I bought and sold it in less than 15 days, and made over $12,000.”

After investing in real estate for additional income for several years, Graham decided to use his banking experience to master the real estate foreclosure market. “By knowing what numbers the bank is using to determine whether or not to accept a short sale request allows me to make offers that I know will get accepted.”

We were working on several deals at one month and we got another lead on a foreclosure. I was too busy to work on another short sale. I asked my wife Donna to handle the deal. She knew very little about how to negotiate with the bank, and I told her to just follow the steps on the checklist and that everything would be fine. Well needless to say, she negotiated a great short sale on her very first try. She negotiated a home appraised at $123,000 with a $97,000 loan balance down to $68,000, and the home needed less than $10,000 in repairs.

“If I can negotiate a short sale with one child on my hip, a child pulling at each leg, and nursing a newborn, then anyone can do it. Short sales are actually pretty simple. You just have to let the bank know that you are an investor who knows their numbers, put together a professional offer, and be kind to the negotiator. It can’t get easier than that.” -Donna Treakle

Graham and Donna have four children under the age of five, three beautiful daughters and one little man. They run a successful real estate business from their home, and have been active real estate investors since 1998. They specialize in helping people who are in difficult situations, such as foreclosure, divorce, separation, or job loss. People in these situations need to sell their homes quickly.
