“I received a message from a friend in the business. “You have to go to the NFSTI training. It’s amazing.”
My business had been dragging for the past 6-8 months with the moratorium and stimulus, and the banks not releasing assets and my finances were down to the bottom. My level of despair was amazingly low and my business partners knew something was not right with me.
It took me a while to dig up the finances (thank goodness for a friend who works for the airlines and got me a buddy pass), and my Visa helped a lot.
I boarded the plane feeling even more hopeless knowing that I had spent the money for this trip. Another wasted class telling me what I already knew, or so I thought.
When I got to the first class, my skepticism kept nagging me. The kind that sits in the back of your head and tells you… “uh oh” money down the drain, again…” But I sat and listened. After all, I did put out some money!
As the day moved on I found myself involved more and more with the class. The instructors were involving us in the learning process. They held my attention and I started to feel a sense of optimism. “Maybe that Idea would work,” I kept repeating to myself.
When the first day was done, I was on the phone to my business partner, Andy. He told me that he hadn’t seen me with this much energy in months and started listening to his ideas.
I have been home over a week now and Andy and I are working relentlessly to put new systems in place (at minimal cost, of course). We are functioning as a team and seeing some results!
I don’t know any other way of saying this and it may sound cliché, but NFSTI helped me to revitalize my outlook on this business and the information I gained was priceless.
I can never thank the instructors, Richard and Lowell enough and I would highly recommend these classes to anyone in the REO business. If you think you have been in it long enough and don’t need to be taught anything, you are hurting your business. Instead, grow if with the help of NFSTI!
I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF MY BUSINESS!
Sincerely,

“Mr Dan Waterman is one of the premier REO experts in America. He delivers a no nonsense, down to earth program filled with take home value and material real estate agents can use the next day. We hired Dan for a Las Vegas/Henderson program in 2008….His organization, NFSTI (National Foreclosure Sales Training Institute), is head and shoulders above most of the REO training programs in the country.
Our real estate community has had Mr Waterman back and again he filled the room.
What makes him different is his website, ongoing coaching and the ability to reach him and interact with him in your business!JC Melvin

“I have had the great pleasure of being involved with Dan Waterman and his company NFSTI. Dan played a key role in the development of my flourishing career as an REO agent. I have leveraged my affliation with NFSTI to set myself apart from other agents in this industry. Dan is consistantly improving and innovating his courses and he plays a very valuable role in the integrity and professionalism of all the agents that have the benefit of taking his courses. I would highly recommend to any REO agent to get in touch with Dan, take his courses and learn from his great experience and knowledge.” March 28, 2009

“I have known Dan for a few years now and feel extremely blessed to have had the opportunity to have meet him.
For those of you that don’t know him personally or professionally, let me just say that Dan is someone that I feel is someone who I could compare to being that one very brilliant, special and uniquely rare gem that seems to be so very hard to find in life and within the real estate business.
I’ve found through working with and for Dan both from afar and right beside him that he is someone who is extremely passionate about all that he takes on. I see him as someone who easily standouts professionally from others, even though he makes doing difficult things look like they are a piece of cake when indeed they are just second nature to him.
Dan is articulate, a talented speaker and just plain someone who you can see that actually cares about other people. You can tell that he truly wants people to succeed and goes above and beyond to help other people in anyway he can.
I’d have to tell you that without hesitation that I feel that Dan is the TOP REO Trainer in the U.S. His excitement for the business is very evident and quite contagious. One of the things that I really enjoy about Dan’s teaching style is that when he teaches something, his knowledge stems from first hand personal accounts and experiences within the REO business. I think that this is so important. In closing, most of all I see that Dan knows what it takes and how to help other people learn how to succeed and novitiate through the REO business.
Wishing you the best of continued success to you Dan for years to come!
Warmly,

“Dan is a well-known leader and trainer for agents in the world of REO. While there are many such trainers, coaches, gurus, and network creators, Dan is distinct in his path to success, taking a grass roots, high value appraoch that has created a large and loyal following. Through the years, I have personally witnessed how his advice and judgement have kept me on the most practical and meaningful path to REO mastery. When I hear other gurus talk about establishing real and meaningful network relationships, I think about Dan. Not only has he been a great friend and advisor, he is the source of many meaningful friendships I have developed in this industry. Whether it’s Unversal REO, NFSTI, REO Masters, or whatever lies ahead, I plan to stay close to Dan.” July 21, 2009
