Club Tsunami a Hit with Foreclosure Angel Foundation

Foreclosure Victims Receive Help From National Network of Real-Estate Agents Who Sell Foreclosed Homes

Over one-million Americans have lost their homes due to the Tsunami of Foreclosures that have hit our country and many need immediate help or face homelessness. Marilyn Mock who founded the Foreclosure Angel Foundation has been joined by the NFSTI REOMasters™ Network, a national network of REO agents who sell foreclosed properties for a living, to provide relief for these people and keep them out of homeless shelters. To raise awareness and money for this cause, the REOmasters™ Network is throwing the nations largest networking and charity party in Ft. Worth TX on Monday night, Sept 21st, 2009 during the industry’s largest default servicing conference. Over 5000 real estate agents, banks, and industry professionals will be in town and many are expected to attend the party called Club Tsunami.

(PRWEB) September 13, 2009 — On Monday, September 21, 2009, at 8:30 PM in Fort Worth, Texas, the NFSTI REOMasters™ Network, a national group of real estate agents who sell foreclosure properties, are bonding together to raise money and awareness for the victims who have lost their homes from the Tsunami of foreclosures that have swept our nation in the last three years. The charity event is called Club Tsunami, in which all ticket proceeds will go to benefit the Foreclosure Angel Foundation, a not for profit. Club Tsunami is being held at the 22,000 sq/ft City Streets Venue on the corner of 4th Street and Commerce, in Fort Worth, TX. Club Tsunami includes a red carpet celebrity style entrance and photo with the Foreclosure Angel (Marilyn Mock), VIP Section for special guests, a Fidelity National Title sponsored cigar and scotch lounge, plus two dance floors.

Marilyn Mock, the Foreclosure Angel herself, a title given after purchasing (and saving) a foreclosure home at an auction for a complete stranger, is founder of the Foreclosure Angel Foundation (As seen on Oprah, 20/20, CNN, and more). Now joined by the NFSTI REOMasters™ Network, they are helping those in need who are facing foreclosure by paying back balances, purchasing new homes in auctions, finding suitable rentals, renegotiating loans, and more. “The ultimate goal is to simply to help our neighbors, and those in need.” said Marilyn.

In 2008 alone, over one million people lost their homes to foreclosure. To put this current national crisis in perspective, compare the 275,000 homes lost in Hurricane Katrina with the number of American’s losing their homes now. It is expected that over two million will be lost by December 2009 as a result of foreclosures. These families, our neighbors in every state, have been foreclosed on and are in need of immediate attention, otherwise face eviction and homelessness.

The REOMasters™ Network is raising money and awareness by hosting a three week Coach-A-Thon™ with top foreclosure industry experts providing free training and coaching leading up to the Club Tsunami Celebrity Style Charity Event. “Our goal is to raise $50,000 for the Foreclosure Angel Foundation at this event.” Said Scott McLaine Co-Founder and CEO of the NFSTI REOMasters™ Network. Banks, title companies, industry vendors, asset managers, agents, and even celebrities are stepping forward to support this event and this cause. We all need to “BE A PIECE OF THE SOLUTION” said McLaine … quoting the tag-line of the initiative.

Get an REO Coach: Edge up on Competition

Every Wednesday and Friday I pay extra money to have a personal trainer whip me into shape. For over 20 years I have been an endurance athlete with an above-average amount of discipline. I was a swimmer for a nationally ranked high school (an article that I wrote a few years back about my experience), a gold medalist in the Arizona State Games at the cycling crit, a triathlete, backcountry snowboarder…you get the picture.

Then why the extra money to pay a personal trainer? I’ll tell you why – I want to be pushed further than I can push myself. I want to be held accountable and assure myself that my goals will be obtained. If there’s one thing that I don’t love about my tenure at NFSTI, it’s watching the dozens of agents who have incredible skill and talent give up on REO before they break through. Usually, this is caused by distraction, false information, a lack of discipline, or a misunderstanding of what’s going on.

NFSTI wants everyone to better themselves through coaching. There are several coaching systems that exist out there. Probably to many. But if your experience with NFSTI has been positive and you want us to help you along, then we’re here for you.

I’m embedding a powerpoint presentation that we have published online for you to see exactly what we’re offering. As usual, we have done our very best to offer as much value as possible for the least amount of money. I hope you enjoy.

Las Vegas REO Course – Great turnout!

Last week was the second Las Vegas-based REO course put on by NFSTI and it was a great success. The event was held at the First American Title office off of Lake Mead Blvd and was hosted by Kim Petersen. Kim was able to bring some great knowledge to the event during her presentation and even left behind a breakdown of what it would take to start up an REO business.

The course was lead by Dan Waterman but was quickly turned over to Bryan Knight. Mr. Knight has gone from Zero to Hero in the past couple of years, starting with zero REO business and now successfully operating an REO business with over half of his inventory in escrow this month.

Lowell Caro, Jr. also stepped in and made his debut as an NFSTI instructor. He quickly got into his comfort zone and delivered flawlessly.

Other guests and speakers worth noting are: JC Melvin (National Speakers Association, author, speaker, real estate expert), Thomas Moore (eBroker House and REOIntelligence), and Nicole Ocean (BPO Expert, author, and consultant). Each of our guest speakers brought forth an amazing array of information and products that added value to the ever-evolving REO business.

Thanks again to all who participated. You were an amazing audience and we wish all the best with your business!

Sincerely,

NFSTI Team

Twitter Lesson from Lebron James

Twitter.comIf you’ve never been on Twitter, it’s OK. 

Just a few months ago I was giving my girlfriend a hard time about the fact that she felt Twitter was the next great social media tool.  I was on the cutting edge and was Tweeting as far back as 6/08.  I didn’t see any value in it.  That was until just recently.

Today I was on Twitter bouncing around on some of my favorite Tweets.  I enjoy following people like Lance Armstrong, David Beckham, Alexis McGee (ForeclosureS.com), and Shaq.  I happened to be catching up with King Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers – a hometown favorite of mine.  You see, Lebron grew up in my home town, Akron, went to my mother’s alumni for high school, St. Vinent-St. Mary, was in the Catholic high school that rivaled my brother’s school at the same time (Hoban) and now plays for my favorite basketball team, the Cleveland Caveliers.  So staying up with what he’s doing is almost like being a friend even though we’ve never met.

As I was reading through Lebron’s Twitter page I came across a Tweet (the name Twitter gives to a micro-blog, or comment, that is left on your Twitter profile).  The Tweet was an apology to his fans for not being on Twitter for a while and that he was back to keep them informed of his everyday thoughts, actions, and reactions to life.  My reaction internally was, “You really let your readers down.  You have to keep that content fresh, otherwise they’ll go away.”

BAM – Reality just kicked me in the head.

It had been over a month since my last blog entry and boy did it show.  I logged into WordPress (which I used to do daily) and checked our reader activity…yuck!  Our viewership had dropped to next to zero! 

So, all of this to say, “Sorry Lebron and NFSTI readers.  I should not  be casting stones.”

Look for new updates on our blog much more frequently.
