Tony Marriott Keller Williams Realty	We've been working with Mike and the gang at Short Sale Specialist Network for about a month and already have received 8 qualified short sale listing leads, one of which is about to go under contract with a Buyer less than two weeks after Listing!!! A key differentiator is that the Short Sale Specialist Network contacts and pre-screens EVERY LEAD - meaning that the leads you receive are REAL!
Dawn Maloney Re/Max Commitment	"They always send me excellent leads, well qualified and ready to go. I am closing two more deals in April from listings they sent my way. And they even sent me my first million dollar listing...so when I tell you the leads are good...THE LEADS ARE GOOD! If you do short sales, if I were you I would contact them right away. You will be very glad you did."
Joshua Jarvis Keller Williams Realty	"I've worked with internet lead companies for over 8 years. We have a 90% lead to listing ratio with these leads and closing them is up us. If you know how to close short sales, you have no excuse not be a part of this network."
Guillermo Coronado Coronado Home Selling Team	"The Short Sale Specialist Network has helped me double my business the past year. If you are serious about building your short sale business the Short Sale Specialist Network will be the best gift you will ever receive."
Debbie Parkans Re/Max Integrity Realtors	"The Short Sale Specialist Network is awesome to work with. Probably 75% of the leads that I have gotten have turned into listings. I currently have 8 listings, 3 of them under contract that came directly from them. The best thing is that I don’t have to pay for them unless they close."
Betsy Verrico Home Style Realty	"The referrals I have received from the Short Sale Specialist Network are all pre-qualified. When I meet with the sellers they are ready to list the house. I have closed SEVEN short sale transactions from the referrals I have received from the Short Sale Specialist Network. I currently have 21 homes listed for short sale."
Kim Kaplan West Real Estate	"I have been a member of the SSSN for the past 8 months and I can credit 90% of my business to this great group. I generally hold 50 listings at a time and I am currently negotiating 25 contracts with the banks. It is critical to become a preferred partner as that is how one receives referrals. In the next 4 weeks I expect to have 8 closings all a result of the SSSN."
Susan Story Prudential Texas Properties	"The Short Sale Network has always been very professional and organized to deal with. I have ended up listing many of the leads homes. I would recommend this network to anyone looking to expand their short sale business."
Brenda Rogers Coldwell Banker Apex	"I am proud to be a member of The Short Sale Specialist Network. This group does an amazing job of screening their leads to the point that it is a 99.9% certainty that the homeowner is ready to list by the time you have their contact information. Their commitment to quality and integrity is outstanding. Since these qualities are imperative for me to consider being associated with anything, and hard to find these days, I feel extremely fortunate to have formed this alliance."

Agents in our network receive referrals from us based on availability and are graded based on consistency, accountability, experience, and production.
Different areas of the country produce different numbers of referrals. Our top agents who prove themselves over time receive up to 4-8 listing referrals/assignments per month from us consistently. Our AVERAGE agent receives 1-3/Month. Some rural or small areas will produce less.
There is a need for multiple agents in major cities, as sellers are "paired up" with specific agents who may best be able to meet their needs. There are a few areas where we have filled up on agents that are noted on the payment page, or you can CLICK HERE for a list of areas where we are currently filled up. We still post TONS of listing referrals on sites like activerain.com because we do no even have ONE good agent in many areas. Not to mention we are growing in volume very rapidly and will continue to do so this year!
We believe in giving ALL preferred partner agents in our network a chance. If you join, you will receive at least one listing referral as available in your market area from us during your membership. You will likely receive several, and if you are good you will likely receive them regularly.
ALL referrals are 100% Pre Screened. They are informed about the short sale process, given a financial worksheet and list of all required documents, and instructed to have these ready for their referred agent at the time of listing.
Prior to receiving any referrals from the Short Sale Specialist Network, you MUST sign and return our network referral agreement. Click Here for our network referral agreement. ***Please read our network referral agreement prior to joining to make sure you agree to our terms and conditions!
If you are considering joining our preferred partner program, please read our testimonials and see what some of our active members have to say about us. We have been doing this for a little while and have not even charged ANY membership fee until very recently. Feel free to also set up a profile at www.TheShortSaleGuide.com and participate in any way you like!

Comment by Bonnie Adamson on July 1, 2010 at 12:55am: I like the idea of access to a group of agents in the trenches of working short sales. Every one of them offers unique challenges. I am looking forward to sharing, helping and referring (going both ways) whenever I can.

Comment by Miguel Rosario on June 21, 2010 at 9:28am: Good morning everyone:

I am available for any short sale referrals listing in Oviedo or Orlando area Florida. I am bilingual for any spanish speaking clients that you might have and are having trouble communicating with.
Have a great day!!

Comment by Nancy Hodgson, GRI, SFR on June 18, 2010 at 2:28pm: Greetings to all! I'm available for referrals to beautiful Southern Oregon, including Josephine, western Jackson and southern Douglas counties. Let's have a great year!

Comment by Mike Linkenauger on June 10, 2010 at 12:13am: Absolutely Paul and Tony! We're here to help each other out. Its perfectly OK to refer to each other on here and we strongly encourage it in the our online community! Referrals are just something us agents do. If you want to see a consistent flow of screened listing referrals directly from The Short Sale Specialist Network (not agent2agent) than you need preferred partner membership.

To answer Moriah's question, sounds like you are a very good and experienced agent, and we can actually use another agent or two in PA right away. We've been hunting for a couple. Experience is good, but we really aren't big on training, it means nothing to us if agents have it or not. I have no designations or training and have done pretty good I think. The annual membership fee is not flexible, it is however very fair considering all we deliver to our partners. Preferred partner membership does include some pretty good resources for agents that want them on the members only site. Even veterans would be foolish not to take advantage of them. It does NOT however include our training designation at this time, and we do not require our referral agents to take the training either.

Comment by Paul Antonelli on June 6, 2010 at 12:21pm: Thanks Jim but I have one in Deltona already that I am almost done with. Even though I'm in Kissimmee, I have listings in Deltona, Merrit Island and Miami. But I will keep you in mind for future listings.

Comment by Jim Mulvey on June 6, 2010 at 11:28am: Paul - I can help you with Florida people if they are in Volusia County(Daytona Beach/Ormond Beach/Deland/Deltona/New Smyrna Beach/Edgewater/Oak Hill). Would give 25% referral fee.

Comment by Andrew Sawyer on June 6, 2010 at 2:17am: Hey Paul, I would gladly give you a 25% referral fee for any listings in Phoenix area or Las Vegas.

Comment by Tony Camero on June 5, 2010 at 4:52pm: Hi Paul....I think thats a yes
This site is for SSSN to give out referrals for short sales for a referral fee for them...but also agent to agent referrals as well. I am in Houston Tx and would be happy to accept any short sale referrals here. I will have an immediate buyer for any short sale listings I get.

Comment by Paul Antonelli on June 5, 2010 at 1:11pm: Hey guys do you still help with out going referrals? I have not joined your preferred section because I have more than I can handle now. I gave out a lead to someone on here for a short sale in the Carolinas, and she is helping my client. I don't want a referral just want people that can help my clients. From time to time I do get people that call me that need help that are out of Florida. Can I still give them to agents on here?

Comment by Tony Camero on June 1, 2010 at 11:31pm: Good point Moriah. I would be curious if Mike and SSSN would consider somthing like that..maybe not....never hurts to ask though:)
