bryan knight in las vegas: How to add a hyperlink into you blog. - 09/09/09 11:03 PM
Have you ever wondered how to create a word in the blog that you can click on and have it take you to another webpage that the word could possibly pertain to? Well I did for a long time, and then I found out how to do it. It's called a hyperlink and here the HTML code to make it happen.
Example: To embed a link into a Page, blogpost, or comment, it may take this form:
<a href="http://www.websiteurlhere.com">word to click here </a>
That's the code to make it happen. In ActiveRain, you'll have to click the tab at the top … (1 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: Las Vegas Market Statistics April 11th 2009 - 04/11/09 04:37 PM
I just picked up some good information on Las Vegas Real Estate statistics! Check it out!
"During the first week of April 2009, the number of units in a contracted status jumped beyond 10,000 for the first time in years and was double the number reported one year ago. Contracted units represent homes that have been negotiated but are waiting to close. They consist of contingent units (6,295 homes) that are contingent on some action taking place (e.g., a lender approval on a short sale) as well as pending units (3,795) which are transactions waiting for customary closing procedures to complete. … (0 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: Your Big Why...................Why do YOU do it?????? - 01/21/09 12:44 AM
So anyone that's read "The Red Book" aka "The Millionaire Real Estate Agent" or that is familiar with Keller Williams Realty knows that you absolutely must have a big why that is your driving force that makes you keep going on the roughest of days. When you have "One of those days" and feel like the lowest of low, it's what makes you dig deep....not sit and wallow in your own self pity. It's what makes you get up and get to it!
Well my big why is a two for one deal. First I do this for my daughter. I … (7 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: How has blogging affected your business? - 01/20/09 12:37 PM
I just attended a class by NFSTI (National Foreclosure Sales Training Institute) were the instructor Dan Waterman got into a contested discussion with an attendee about the importance of blogging in today's world. The agent didn't believe that blogging was that important. She felt that she should spend more time working on her website than blogging and that blogging was a waste of time. Dan on the other stated how important blogging is and how search engines actually look heavily at blogs (sometimes ranking them higher than websites) due to their relevance to specific subjects.
That said, what has blogging done … (11 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: Having Great Vendors can be Key to your Success as an REO Agent!!! - 01/18/09 11:18 PM
Having great vendors can have a big impact on your REO career. Working with vendors (Locksmiths, Property Preservation companies, Rehab Contractors, etc.) that understand the REO business and how reimbursements work is a big bonus to you and your business. Our vendors will carry our invoices for 30-45-60 plus days before seeking payment. This lessens the amount of "float" that we have to carry at any one time. It's our job to stay on top on submitting the invoices immediately upon receiving them and getting our vendors paid in a timely manner and everyone stays working and happy!!!
There are plenty … (7 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: Tales of a Las Vegas REO Agent Part 5!!!!! - 12/28/08 04:01 PM
Since the last post I finally got it with IndyMac Federal Bank. This was after paying the 900 plus dollars for the default school training for them. They hit me to two properties, so we're off and running with them. Not sure what going to happen to them with the whole FDIC deal however so I wouldn't be surprised if that relationship doesn't last long. One of my clients haven't issued out any new listings in the past 3 months. I called them and they haven't been getting any new properties from their clients, so they don't have anything to issue out … (3 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: You have to pay the late / extention penalties not closing an REO deal on time!!!!! - 12/28/08 12:58 PM
So, for the past 2 months, there hasn't been not one deal that I've had close on time (meaning the original closing date on the contract). The problem that I'm seeing is that EVERY SINGLE TIME the buyers don't want to pay the penalties for closing late!!! Just about every bank has it in their addendum/counter offer that if the buyer doesn't close on time, then they have to pay both an extension fee and per diam until they actually close the deal. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO ON THE BUYER SIDE IS CAUSING THE DELAY. IT CAN BE THE BUYER, BUYER'S … (14 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: Diversification.........How many REO accounts are you carrying???????? - 11/26/08 12:31 AM
After the huge cuts that Wells Fargo did throughout the country, our mastermind group discussed being better diversified that just having 1 or 2 BIG accounts and take the chance that one of those accounts can be pulled from you overnight for whatever reason.
So now I'd like to know on average how many REO accounts that the average REO agent carries at any one time.
Personally from my current inventory, I'm carrying 6 REO accounts.
So from your current inventory now, how different clients are represented? Just state the number, no need for names.

bryan knight in las vegas: Why are you not buying real estate in Las Vegas, NV right now!!!! - 11/14/08 02:00 AM
So being an REO agent that sells properties directly from and for the banks, it is amazing me that tons of people are not jumping in and buying up all of these great deals that I see coming across my desk on a daily basis!!!! I can't believe that people are still sitting on the sidelines waiting................for what I don't know. This is called a buyer's market...............so BUY!!! It's not called a waiter's market.....or a wait and see market......or a sit on the fence market. Think about it. You never want to do what the "herd" is doing. Right now the "herd" … (0 comments)

So I went to hear Gary Keller speak about always being able to shift your business and your life to regardless of what the market is doing and you want to talk about a "get real" session!!! He was matter of fact about getting real with yourself in all areas of your life. I loved it. I was talking to an agent in the back of the room before he got started. It was one of those agents that's not giving 100 percent to real estate, and she had a totally negative outlook to state of the real estate market! She … (7 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: Bad buyer's agents strike again!!! - 11/10/08 11:37 PM
I'm in the middle of a couple of deals right now that are not going as desired. Lately I can't pay anyone to actually get a deal closed on time! I had two that were due to close today. One is waiting on the sellers deed to be signed which is understandable, but the on the other I've got a case of disappearing buyer's agent and disappearing lender!!! This always happens when something fishy is going on with the buyer side. About a week before closing, the buyer's agent becomes difficult to get hold of, and the lender stops answering the … (11 comments)

Ok, so you've been working your butt off blowing out those BPO's for month after month after month, long after some of the other agents that started with you have given up and you finally get hit with your first wave of REOs!!!!! Now you get a 24 hour crash course in servicing REO properties!!! Check occupancy, order a re-key, trash-out, sales clean, initial yard services, get the power, water, and gas turned on in your name, track down the HOA and pay back six months of past due HOA dues and then keep it current throughout the listing period, schedule … (4 comments)

bryan knight in las vegas: Looking for 4-6 REO agents from across the country to Network / Mastermind with!!! - 11/01/08 10:07 PM
I'm looking for 4 to 6 other REO agents in different markets to share ideas, mastermind, and help each other to grow their business buy sharing contact and helping each other "get in" with clients that they are not currently in with.
There will be no competition due to all agents being from different marketplaces. You need to actually be doing REO's and have clients / contacts to contribute to the group. It's a give and take situation, not just a "take", so have something to contribute. If you've been working with a client and don't know how to get another broker … (7 comments)
