DAY ONE: "Real Estate 'Work Out' Solutions"

8:30am - 9:30am | Financial Literacy - The "Basics" of the HP10BII:

This is a brief overview of key functions of the HP10BII financial calculator. Students must bring (purchase if necessary) the HP10BII financial calculator.


9:30am - 10:30am | Real Estate "Work-Out" Finance:

Today there is a need for a different set of financial tools. In this session we are not talking about comparing leases, we are talking about rewriting leases - not closing traditional loans - we will discuss sitting down with lenders and trying to show, mathematically, what's in their best interest to recast a mortgage in midstream. This is an essential session for today's market.


10:45am - 12:00pm | Restructuring Leases and Lease Buy-Outs:

This session is about being able to value the user's contract based on the market conditions specific to the user's submarket so that leases can be restructured accordingly. We will also discuss how to negotiate the buy-out of a lease when there is a remaining term from a corporate user who deems the space 'surplus', or from a tenant who can no longer afford the space - we will discuss the range of techniques.


1:00pm - 2:30pm | Mortgage "Haircuts" Renegotiating Loans and Mortgages:

What happens when the lender shows no early willingness to renegotiate terms, the lender is entrenched and your client has personally guaranteed the debt. Your client is still solvent but loan to value is off, it's no longer at 70% - it's now 115%. How can you help your client stem the slow bleed that will eventually lead to insolvency? In this session we will discuss the changing cap rates, predicting where cap rates will be 2 years out, determining if this is a short-term downturn or does your borrower need to get ready for the long haul. We will discuss amorization, reduction of interest, reduction of principle, extending term, interest only, and outright debt relief.


2:45pm - 4:00pm | Painless Cram Downs:

Your client has waited too long. In this session we will assume you are representing a client who is out of options - he has liquidated his net worth and needs you more than at any time during the business relationship. Bankruptcy is an unpleasant option. How do you intervene to communicate to the lender and propose a reasonable mathematical alternative to avoid financial collapse?


DAY TWO: "Back To Basics"

8:30am - 9:30am | Business Development:

  • New Markets
  • Selling by Phone
  • Tours that Win
  • Much More

9:30am - 11:00am | Team Brokerage:

  • Personality Insight: Yourself and Others
  • Characteristics of High Performing Teams
  • Types of Teams (Deal Teams, Core Teams, Tour Teams, ect.)
  • Forming Effective Teams (Organization, skills and positions)
  • How to Develop a Team Scoreboard

11:15am - 12:15pm | Negotiating Skills to Close More Deals:

Since more and more negotiations may end in deadlock under current market conditions, this session teaches ways around a deadlock with strategies that work focusing on the benefits of thorough preparation; identifying needs and anticipating questions to ask while negotiating.


1:00pm - 4:00pm | Presentations that Win:

Learn the five key components of a winning presentation. Understand what information to include in each phase and why. This session will focus on individual and team presentation skills using the five components and will include the effective use of visuals and other presentation media.
