Trent Chapman, Outside Man
Trent started out in the Mortgage Business in the area of Construction Lending, where he eventually met Lee. At the time Lee worked in ‘asset management’ for one of the top construction lenders and happened to call Trent on one of his files (it ended well 
. A few years after they met, Lee continued working for the same lender and was transferred to the HELOC division and Trent became a Broker and opened an office in North San Diego County. Trent and Lee worked on some small projects together in 2006.
Early in 2007, after Trent had spent thousands of dollars learning all that the self-proclaimed ‘experts’ knew about short sales, he finally teamed up with Lee. Together they created a system to effectively acquire short sale listings, market them and negotiate with the lender and prove that it is in their best interest to accept the offers presented sooner rather than later. Trent lives with his wife Sarah and their 3 children in San Marcos, CA.
Ryan Chapman, Tech
When Lee enlisted Trent to support his mission to teach real estate professionals across the country how to take advantage of his bank insider knowledge to close short sales, Trent enlisted Ryan. Ryan leverages the internet to make Lee’s bank insider tools (like the Short Sale Calculator) and File Tracker accessible to thousands of real estate professionals across the country as they fight the banks to take care of their clients.
Ryan lives in San Marcos with his beautiful wife and 6 children. (yeah, that’s not a typo…6!)
Lee Honish, Inside Man
Lee Honish no longer actively works with Short Sale Genius, after his decision to pursue the establishment of CLEAR® (an alternative to NAR).
While Lee doesn’t work with Short Sale Genius anymore, what he taught Trent 4 years ago, while fresh out of the bank, provided Trent with the insight he and thousands of other agents have leveraged to protect their clients from abusive negotiation tactics utilized by lenders.
