Over the last year, I have been building a team of associates to help me provide the best solutions for my clients who have found themselves up a creek without a paddle during this housing crisis. Just like each oarsman of a crew team steers the boat to victory through the elements, so does my team.
So, let me introduce you to my crew "Smart Short Sale Team" and a little history on the sport of Rowing!!!
Chief Operating Officer and Real Estate Agent
Rowing Positions: The Stern Pair, The Bow Pair, Coxwain, & Steersman
Well, I actually operate as many positions currently but together with my team working with our clients daily to help them find their way to their finish line out of of this mess of the Housing Crisis remains my PRIORITY!
Jane Sales
Chief Executive Officer
Rowing Position: The Coxwain
The purpose of a coxswain is steering the boat, providing encouragement to the rest of the crew, communication to the crew of how close they are to the finish line, and any other race tactic calls.
Not only is Jane my devoted wife, she is CEO and my backbone offering moral support!
Financial Institution Communication Director
Rowing Position: The Middle Crew (The Fuel Tank, The Engine Room, The Power House, The Meat Wagon)
The middle crew has numerous nicknames for themselves as shown in the title. In an eight-person boat, the middle crew is made of numbered individuals three, four, five, and six. In a four-person boat, the middle rowers are numbers two and three. Because the boat moves less in the middle, the middle crew is often the most powerful and heaviest of rowers. They are referred to as the ‘fuel tank,’ the ‘engine room,’ or other nicknames because their focus is simply pulling on oars as hard as they can. It is not necessary for these middle crewmates to be exceptionally reactive or technically sound (like the strokesman). The middle crew is known for their brawn, and it is common for the most technical rowers to be placed at the bow and stern with the strongest rowers in the middle.
Her name says it all! Julie is our latest addition to the Short Sale Team. Julie comes to us with tons of legal experience and will be responsible for the distribution and the communication, with our banking partners. She will feed all the data and information to the various banks, mortgage companies, etc., that we collect from the distressed property owners. Additionally, Julie will have her own short sale listing portfolio that she will process through the Smart Short Sale Team.

Additionally,he maintains our entire filing system for the endless paperwork we submit to the Governement, banks, and legal counselors involved with the maticulous processes of short sales.
Chantal Sales
Marketing, Advertising & Public Relations Director
Rowing Position: The Bow Pair
The rower closest to the bow of the boat is called the ‘bow’ or the ‘bowman.’ It is the bowman’s responsibility for the stability of the entire boat. They are expected to be quick and agile, responsible for not only the stability of the boat, but the direction of the boat as well. As expected, the bowman is expected to be quite technically skilled. Furthermore, boats that are bow coxed are dependent on effective communication between the bowman and the cox. The cox cannot see boats coming from behind them, and good communication is essential.
Approximately a year ago, Chantal started assisting me with my marketing plan. With the ever changing social networking world, she set up my blogs and network profiles. She continues to manage the websites, blogs, and designs my print & digital marketing media for each listing and keeps me alive in the Cyber World. Although she not truly the closest physcially to our team like the Bow Pair is in the boat, she is our social connection to the rest of the world.
