Practice what you preach.

That’s the motto here at Foreclosure.com because it is impossible to run the most successful distressed real estate Web site on the Internet without everyone at every level having a firm understanding of the foreclosure process from the bottom up.

So it’s Thursday morning and instead of braving the commute south to our corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., I am headed east for the weekly “class trip” to the Palm Beach County Court House in West Palm Beach to provide Foreclosure.com staff members with a refresher course on the auction process.

It’s company policy that we offer this type of activity annually to introduce some of our new employees to the actual experience, as well as keep the topic fresh on the minds of our more experienced team members. From customer service to human resources to programming, all personnel types from every department at Foreclosure.com are invited to participate in the weekly excursions.

Let’s quickly take you through a typical day for us at the court house.

Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates, will show you how to begin 2009 on the right foot in a FREE Webinar training presentation, which is dubbed “Make 2009 $hine with Real Estate Foreclosures,” on Wednesday, January 14 at 7 p.m. ET.

When the market is booming, foreclosures are few and far between — homeowners in good economic times more often than not have the wherewithal to stay current on their mortgages. They also have the upper hand when it comes to selling, enjoying the luxury of considering multiple offers … usually all at or more than fair market value.

Accordingly, the opportunities to capitalize on bank-owned homes are minimized.

However, in a situation that we are currently experiencing, which is the result of unaffordable Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) loans, job losses and utter financial turmoil, foreclosure homes are more readily available. And, with inventories soaring across the board lenders are looking to liquidate sooner rather than later to avoid crushing carrying costs.

Always remember: Banks are in the money business and not real estate sales.

Therefore, there is a ton of money to be made RIGHT NOW for those smart (and brave) enough to capitalize on these amazing deals. Banks are basically letting homes go for a fraction of their true values.

Linda is set to show you how to strike it rich in real estate in 2009 during this 60-minute FREE online training session. Linda will breakdown the entire process from A to Z, ensuring you know exactly how to get your feet wet before it’s too late.

This is a “must-see” presentation that is designed to help you cash in on a starving market and earn money hand-over-fist. It’s going to be a Happy New Year indeed … make 2009 your most profitable year ever by taking advantage of deals that only come around once in a lifetime!
