Their 70+ page report has just been published and became the basis of a report televised by 60 Minutes. As a result of this telecast, consumers have been bombarding REALTORS(R) with questions regarding unbundled services, fee for service models, pricing negotiations, and cooperation/compensation issues.

Things Just Don't Gotta Get Better - You Do!
Start Time: 09:00 AM
End Time: 05:30 PM
Description: Things Just Don’t Gotta Get Better...You Do! with Jerry Rossi. October 7, 2010 from 9am - 5:30pm. Real Estate Agents and Brokers live on borrowed time and money stuck in a slow moving market of sludge. Sluggish price point, lowball offers, angry sellers, rigid money, frigid appraisers, and a grinning squirrel saying, “I told you to stash nuts when the market was hot!” We need a solution! Here are the four points I have uncovered as “Areas Needing Immediate Attention”: Attitude – Waiting for things to get better can pull even the strongest, most productive real estate associate down. Personal/Business Planning – Only one out of seven associates creates an annual plan or set written goals. They cannot even account for the financial results of the money spent on marketing. Technology – Those who are into it are often too into it - wasting time - achieving nothing. Those who are reticent need to ‘Stop It’ and learn how to get up to speed quickly. Google and Joomla have changed marketing forever. Marketing – Even though marketing and technology run hand-in-hand, real estate associates cannot forget the “Work Smart” effect. That is, doing the basics better and more often than anyone else. Rossi will uncover the New Basics.

Less-than-perfect credit resulting from foreclosure, short sale, bankruptcy or job loss complicates an already difficult situation for would-be buyers. For real estate agents, working with these buyers is not a question of “if” but one of “when.” Agents prepared to help these distressed buyers not only add an additional pipeline of customers to their business, they are better equipped to counsel their clients no matter what financial changes life may bring. In “Cracking the Credit Code: The Key to Buyer Recovery” you’ll explore • The effect of the economy on home ownership • How the credit scoring system works • The ability of credit scores to impact purchasing power. • What can be done to improve credit scores. • The appropriate—and legal!—role for the agent in helping with damaged credit • FHA, VA, and conventional financing guidelines and the numerous rules associated with seller concessions • Resources to educate the buyer and/or enrich their ability to purchase • A systemized marketing plan that keeps you in contact so when the time is right, you’re there!
