I finally got this video uploaded that I made a couple of weeks ago.? I don’t know why, but YouTube acts a little flaky sometimes with uploads.? Am I the only one experiencing this?? Anyway, this video goes over how I was able to streamline my offers to listed properties.? All that I had to do was setup a mail-merge and utilize the “Convert to Adobe PDF and email” function.? This process will save you quite a bit of time.? If you have any questions about it, feel free to leave it in the “comments” section.

I’ve spent some time tonight revamping my PDF for the Illinois Realtor Residential Sales Contract.? Using Adobe Acrobat, I was able to make some tweaks and make every desirable field fillable electronically.? I can even include a (electronic) signature that I’ve scanned and uploaded to my Adobe account.? Once finished, I should be able to pump out offers quite expeditiously and not have to shuffle tangible papers and initial and sign, after printing out contracts.? I will shortly be on the prowl for MLS deals.? All offers will be purely electronic…Game On!

The majority of our meeting was spent going over the Champaign County Association of Realtors contract.? I don’t know why, but I was expecting that contract to be more complex than it turned out to be.? That thing is only 4 pages long and very easy to understand.? I now have it saved in PDF form and since I have Adobe Acrobat, I can manipulate it so that I can do everything electronically, even my signatures.? You know I’m all about using technology for sake of efficiency so it’s on now!? To supplement each offer, he suggested that I enclose a letter explaining who I am and why I want to buy the seller’s house and also a bank pre-approval letter.? The bank pre-approval letter is going to be a mini-hurdle.? I have a 700 credit score and a decent income, but my debt to income ratio is through the roof (I finance a lot of my business on credit cards)!? I’m pretty sure that is a deal breaker.? I mean it’s not like I’m going to close on any of these houses, I just need the letter.? This is a classic, “It’s not what you know but who you know” situation.? I’ll figure it out.
