ATTN: Michigan Real Estate & Mortgage Professionals:

Good Morning from Franklin Title Agency  & Welcome to another great week in November 2009! This Monday I want to focus on 6 Great Referral Partners for you as well as 5 Great upcoming Events.  

As we all know, this is an extremely unique time in our businesses (title, mortgage, Real Estate, etc) and now is the time more than ever to have a great team around you covering all angles of your business, from appraisers to insurance to moving companies to even out of the box partners like loan mods & credit repair companies for you and your clients.  

These are 6 great referral partners for your business today. This is how I've built Franklin Title Agency - from great referral partners from all angles under the Real Estate umbrella:

• I have referred over Rob Butler, CPA to all my mortgage & Realtor clients in the last couple of years taking care of their FHA audits or any tax issues as well as getting FHA approvals for mortgage companies throughout Michigan for a fraction of the cost. Contact Rob at rbutler2005@comcast.net or 248-496-8231


• I have referred over Rob Ruhstorfer for Short Sale Negotiations from Michigan Loan Help to all my mortgage & Realtor clients to do all the negotiating with the banks at no charge to the Realtors with of course the Attorney on staff. Contact Rob at robr@michiganloanhelp.com or 810-265-3164


• I have referred over Marc Wilner for Loan Modifications to all my mortgage & Realtor clients for the files they cannot get done in turn putting money in the Loan Officer's pocket that would have otherwise never been there on a 'dead' file. Contact Marc at bluedogfinancial@gmail.com or 248-808-6857


• I have referred over Ron St. Amante from Changing Places Moving to all of my mortgage & Realtor clients for their customers when moving making them look like All-Stars at closing. Ron is also a great Referral Partner in our industry. Contact Ron at ron@cpmoving.com or 248-496-8601


• I have referred over Jennifer Reese from Reese Apparaisals to all of my mortgage & Realtor clients over the years with great response from clients. Contact Jennifer at jreese@irr-residential.com or 586-954-3561


• I have referred over Tim Thrift of TJT Financial Services for years to my mortgage & Realtor clients for Credit Repair for those files that fall just short of approval based on credit. Tim can turn those 'dead' files around in no time keeping that file alive for you! Contact Tim at tim_thrift@yahoo.com or 248-830-4832

Here are 5 Great Upcoming Events in terms of Real Estate Networking, giving back to the community, and meeting some amazing business professionals here locally:

• November 11th - Operation Kid Equip @ Salsarita's Cantina Troy on the southeast corner of South Blvd & Rochester rds from 4-8pm Operation: Kid Equip works to break the cycle of poverty through education by providing free school supplies and books to local low-income children.


• November 18th - Realtor's Toy's for Tots @ Dick O' Dows in Birmingham 1 Free drink per person for attending with a unwrapped toy includes Hors D'oeuvres, entertainment by the Shawn Riley Band, and all encompassed by some great networking while supporting a great cause in the biggest time of need!


• November 28th - Sotelo Family Bowling Fundraiser @ Bowl One in Troy Nic Sotelo (my lifelong friend) was diagnosed with LeioMyoSarcoma this past spring. This rare cancer spreads through the blood stream and can affect the lungs, blood vessels and other soft tissue. In Nic's case, the cancer is a part of Nic's heart. At the moment, the tumor is inoperable, but hopefully with continued chemotherapy the tumor will shrink enough for surgery to be an option. In the meantime, our goal is to help Nic, his wife Brianna and their two children - Kaden, age 5, and Dominic, age 1. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=175159866648&ref=ss
