I’m Attending the 5 Star Conference in Fort Worth, Texas

If you are in real estate, this is the conference to attend.

The Five Star Default Servicing Conference and Expo brings together a vast network of government, lending and service providers in the real estate industry. The annual conference gives us an opportunity to discuss every aspect of the industry, including where it’s been, where it is now, and where it might be headed.

It’s the largest conference in the foreclosure and REO industry and it offers networking opportunities designed to help us build new client relationships and strengthen our growing market presence.

Sessions of interest to Shandrow Group include:

  • Real Estate and the Government: Making It Work for You
  • Marketing REO Properties
  • The Psychology of the Borrower
  • Steve Forbes Featured Address: America’s Housing Crisis
  • Financing Options for Your REO Buyers
  • Advanced REO: Marketing Large-Volume REO Portfolios and High-Dollar Properties
  • Speeding Up Short Sales
  • Streamlining Servicing Workflow
  • REO 2.0: Cutting-Edge and Innovative Technology for Real Estate Professionals
  • Letting It Go: Outsourcing Strategies for Developing a Vendor Management System
  • Freddie Mac Economic Outlook
  • The New Landlord: What You Need to Know About REO Rental Programs
  • Advanced REO: Solidifying Client Relationships
  • The Next Big Wave: Commercial REO Roundtable

There are too many great sessions to mention, and I’m sure there won’t be enough time to attend them all. I’m really looking forward to learning from the keynote speakers and networking with brokers and asset managers that I’ve built relationships with over the years.

This year, the Five Star Conference will host 5,000 default servicing pros, including lenders, servicers, agents, brokers, attorneys, title companies, service providers, investors, vendors, and anyone else who’s interested in how our industry work and how we’ll cope with the recent industry changes.

With foreclosures hitting a record high and prices hitting a record low, it’s one of the most challenging years we’ve experienced here a Shandrow Group. I’m hoping that the conference will stir up some new ideas for business streamlining and innovation and get people pumped about the future of the foreclosure industry and help us to rehabilitate our market.

When I return from the conference, I’ll post an update about my experience and share the latest industry news.
