John Matthews:  Sure, White Orchid Interiors, we are a full service home staging and interior design firm, and we serve all of Colorado.  We stage properties in all price points, and all styles, and we, one of our areas of expertise is that we own all of our furniture, our working accessories, we have our own delivery trucks, and our delivery crew, so we can keep cost down, and at the end of the day, nobody stages more Colorado real estate than White Orchid Interiors.  We stage about $100 million a year in real estate. 

Interviewer:   How important is it to stage a property?

John Matthews:  Oh it's critical, you pretty much have to stage in this market, in the climate that we are in today, the prospective buyers are very picky, they have the ability to go through, and look at a lot of different properties, and so you really need to make your home stand out.  There are so many keys to that, it's obviously marketing, pricing, and the presentation of the home, making sure that it looks its best.

Heritage Title has the tools and products to help agents get the information they need...fast!

Interviewer:   Hi, I'm Kathy Soltero with MetroBrokersTV.com.  Today we are at the 2012 Metro Brokers Annual Meeting at the Wellshire Event Center and we're talking with some of the great sponsors that we've had for this event, we are with Heritage Title and thank you so much for being one of our sponsors.

April Kovari:  Thank you for having us here today.  

Interviewer:   Tell us why Heritage Title is such a great company?

April Kovari:  Well the list is pretty long but let me see where I can start.  You know, Heritage Title is a local company with a very strong national presence that gives us a lot of strength and security in our industry and that's so important for our customers these days because we know as realtors you guys want to make sure that your customers are covered and safe and that their properties are going to be insured down the road.  So that's one of the things that we bring, the other thing that we bring is education to our customers and we have employees that have an average tenure of 15 to 16 years with the company.  So that just speaks to the knowledge that's out there and available to our agents.

The other thing that we really brag about a lot is the amount of tools and products that we have, that we can offer to agents to help with their business.  While we totally understand not every product is going to meet a specific need we do know that there will be something that will work for you.  So when you talk about having figures fast, being able to have a web listing for your home, being able to get your documents online real time, all those things are important.

Interviewer:   April, thank you so much for being our sponsor here for our annual event.

April Kovari:  Thank you for having us.  We're so glad to be here and able to sponsor and support Metro Brokers.

Interviewer:   Absolutely.  And for more real estate related videos like this one, be sure to tune into MetroBrokerTV.com.

RENAV offers lead generation and property tracking services for real estate brokers and investors providing the most accurate and fastest foreclosure data in Colorado.

Interviewer:   Hi, I'm Kathy Soltero with MetroBrokersTV.com.  Today we are at the Metro Brokers Annual Meeting at the Wellshire Event Center in Denver.  We're talking with some of our sponsors and we're with Renav, the folks from Renav.  Thank you very much for joining us and being one of our sponsors.

Aaron Lebovic:  Thank you, it's our pleasure.

Interviewer:   Tell me about your company.  What do you guys do?

Aaron Lebovic:  So, basically we are a lead source for investors and real estate brokers.  We track distressed properties and as an example, there are over 16,000 properties that are actively in distress in the counties we track and 85% of those are not listed on the MLS.  So we are finding an opportunity for realtors and investors to find properties with motivated hopeful sellers that should be selling their properties rather than losing them to foreclosure We also offer tracking services where we let people know when a property that they're tracking changes status, like if it's about to be lost to foreclosure sales so they can save deals.

Interviewer:   So, is this sort of lead generation business?

Aaron Lebovic:  It's definitely lead generation and it's also property tracking services that we offer.

Interviewer:   So it has a lot of information on the website as well?

Aaron Lebovic:  Oh, yeah we have a lot of information.  So as soon as a notice of election and demand is filed within about one business day that property is in our system and we're also pulling data from many other sources.  So we offer a searchable database so someone can look for a property in their farming area that meets their criteria, that's the ideal listing opportunity or for those hard to shop with buyers where it's hard to find a good deal, we offer properties that are in distress, might not be listed on the MLS and they can use our service to find deals for their buyers too.

Interviewer:   So do you find also the banks and the contact information and that sort of thing as well?

Aaron Lebovic:  Yeah, we're offering the homeowner's information - who they are, where their mailing address is, which is sometimes different from the property that's in distress.  We're also offering the bank's information - who is the foreclosing lender, who is the attorney that's representing the foreclosing lender and we even give their phone number so you can contact them and try to work something out if the bank is not complying with what you are trying to accomplish.

Interviewer:   Awesome.  Well it sounds like a great company.  Thank you so much for being a sponsor for our event.

Aaron Lebovic:  All right, thanks for having us, its great.

Interviewer:   Yeah.  And for more real estate related videos like this one, be sure to tune into MetroBrokerTV.com.

Jeff Henke:  Oh, it's our pleasure.  What a great event, we have been working with REALTORS® and Metro Broker agents now for 20 years, so when we heard about the opportunity, we were glad to be here. 

Interviewer:   Well tell me a little bit about your company, and how it works?

Jeff Henke:  Oh yeah, Roof Brokers has been around Denver for 20 years, we actually, our business model is actually designed around REALTORS® wants and needs.  We know you need everything yesterday, so we have got six inspectors that could be actually be at your property within 24 hours, weather permitting, and get the house assessed, get it measured, and we actually can offer three bids within 24 hours, from the multitude of companies that we work with. 

Interviewer:   Do you think that this really helps in the real estate business in the sense of being able to get people out there quickly?

Jeff Henke:  You know what, it definitely does.  I mean especially in this economy and in this world, everybody needs something right now.  I had a gentleman just last week that called me up at a 2 o'clock closing, and found out 9 o'clock in the morning they had roof issue.  We actually got one of our inspectors down, it was a minor repair, got him taken care of, everything closed perfectly, and went great.  So, I think being able to be expedient like that is definitely a plus.
