Biggest Little Broker in the World
Baking and Short Sales in Real Estate the Common Denominator

BriefingWire.com, 1/08/2010 - Reno, NV -- by David Hoebbel You would think that in today’s economy where banks are inundated with unprecedented requests for help that getting banks to listen would be impossible; but you are wrong.

Since 2003, one REALTOR® has been rapidly making her way through the ranks to becoming one of the most highly-regarded real estate agents in Northern Nevada currently specializing in the dreaded short sale. This real estate juggernaut I’m referring to is Rochelle Mezzano in Reno, Nevada.

A short sale is where one sells a home for less than what is owed on the mortgage and where the bank, or more appropriately, the investor or mortgage insurance company accepts the proceeds from the sale-less the costs incurred. It should be noted, there is nothing short or quick about a short sale. “To the contrary, short sales are time-consuming and ulcer-inducing. Short sales offer no immediate gratification,” informs Rochelle.

In this rapidly-declining market, Rochelle is fast approaching her 100th short sale. Rochelle admits she couldn’t do it alone, but when asked what separates her from the competition, she replies, “My die-before-failing attitude.”

Rochelle, proudly proclaims herself “The Erin Brockovich of Short Sales.” And when you meet with Rochelle, she will take the time to discuss with you the benefits of a short sale over foreclosure. Sooner or later you will likely find yourself or someone you know in need of assistance on a short sale transaction. And after you’ve exhausted yourself going 12-rounds with the bank, you will want the best advocate possible in your corner.

Do you know the number one proven strategy to overcome any obstacles that come when negotiating a short sale? Rochelle does. Like the quarter back climbing over the players for the game-winning touch down, Rochelle’s dedication and perseverance help her push through multiple layers of first and second lien holders, servicers and master servicers, investors and mortgage insurers, loss mitigation negotiators, debt collectors and attorneys, home owner association liens, and any conditions thrown her way to get even the hardest short sale approved.

Almost as sweet as her success in short sales are Rochelle’s home-made chocolate chip cookies. During her limited spare time, Rochelle originated a recipe for the perfect high-altitude cookie. And for all of you bakers out there, you know that your cookies come out of the oven flatter than the economy. With her recipe, however, the cookies are to die-for!

What does baking cookies have to do with short sales in real estate? Just as Rochelle has mastered the home-made chocolate chip cookie, she has also mastered her ability to negotiate short sales. And while she won’t share her secret to success in short sales, Rochelle will divulge her home-made chocolate chip cookie recipe just for the asking.
