    The Art of the Exit
    How to Position, Price & Sell Your Rehab for Maximum Value
    Presentation by Sharyn Mancini
    A great rehab isnโ€™t finished when the renovation is done, itโ€™s finished when youโ€™ve chosen the right exit.

    In The Art of the Exit, Sharyn Mancini of will share how investors can position a property to capture its highest potential value, including pre-listing inspections, strategic repairs and preparation, pricing and positioning, and creating a stronger launch to market. Sheโ€™ll also explore alternative exit strategies, including seller financing and Lease Options, for properties where a traditional sale may not be the best, or most profitable, solution.

    Bio - Sharyn speaks on using multiple exit strategies to customize solutions for homeowners and guides real estate agents and investors nationwide on using a three offer system and seller finance to build their income and wealth.
    She has been in the real estate business for over 25 years and has worked as a seller finance specialist, rehabber, wholesaler, and now focuses primarily on acquiring rehab projects and seller finance deals through her company, Sharyn Buys Houses. She is a realtor in Medford NJ which is her main farm area where she strategizes solutions for home sellers, advises them on how to sell their houses for a premium, and has a professional home staging company.
    A portion of her expertise is in wholesaling lease options; assigning terms contracts instead of the standard cash deal. Sharyn negotiates lease option agreements with motivated home sellers and then assigns the contract to an end retail buyer.
    She prides herself in offering multiple solutions to sellers and buying either cash for a quick closing, on terms for the maximum net price, or staging and listing the house to offer to regular retail buyers.
    Sharyn also works with Brookline Labrador Retriever Rescue rescuing dogs from shelters and Chair the Love, an organization that provides wheelchairs to people in need worldwide.
    On a personal basis she enjoys being outdoors, being involved with her church, reading, healthy eating, and spending time with her family.

    HOST & Presenter Ian Walsh - HardMoneyBankers.com | 215.839.3271

    Ian Walsh started in the real estate business over 15 years ago. He built the largest wholesaling company in Philadelphia at the time. He then began Atlas Property Management which was sold several years ago .. He is currently an active partner in Hard Money Bankers. He has been a part of over 1000 transactions to date and Hard Money Bankers deploys roughly 40M per year currently.

    Group Leader message: I really appreciate everybody joining our meetings. I always let people know that something they should experience from SJREA is their main meeting in person each month because it's kind of hard to replace, but we use these Zoom meetings as supplemental to that. It's a great organization, and probably the best, I would say. It's certainly the best in South Jersey. One of the best probably in the tri-state area.
