We’ll be attending and speaking at the Housing Intelligence Exchange in Fort Worth next month, and I’m especially looking forward to this event.

I’ve been following the development of this organization and am pleased with the direction it’s taking, particularly its emphasis on practical industry discussions and cooperation between the different segments of the mortgage and real estate business.

One of my scheduled sessions is:

The Long Game of Short Sales & Alternative Resolution
Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2:30 – 3:15 p.m.
Panelists:
Mary Best-Brill – Equator/Altisource
Clay Kellett – BOK Financial
Michael Krein – NRBA/CSSE
This in-person discussion will cover borrower engagement, deeds-in-lieu, short-sale execution, operational delays and alternatives to foreclosure.

We’re also working on a private CSSE get-together

One thing I’d really like to arrange is an informal meeting for CSSE members during the conference.

Depending on space and scheduling, we may be able to put together an hour or two for an open discussion, Q&A and brainstorming session.

Nothing overly formal.

Just a room full of people who understand short sales, talking about what they’re seeing, what’s working, what isn’t and where the opportunities are.

I’d be happy to answer questions, share some of the things we’re learning from the servicing and asset-management side, and hear what everybody else is doing.

We may even come away with some new marketing ideas, referral relationships and opportunities to work together.

We’ll share more information if we’re able to finalize the arrangements.
