Clint Bolton (RE/MAX Advantage) — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 10:29:42 -0600

DEAR FELLOW REALTORS, I JUST RECEIVED THE BELOW EMAIL TODAY FROM DON FERGUSON AT NATIONWIDE FINANCING. THIS EMAIL IS IN THE SAME FORMAT AND HAS EXACT NUMBERS AND INFORMATINO THAT MATCHES THE OLD "MONEY TREE FUNDING" COMPANY THAT USED TO PREY ON REALTORS AND SELL BOGUS LEADS AND NEVER DID ANYTHING THAT THEY PROMISED TO DO. IF YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL LIKE THE ONE BELOW FROM NATIONWIDE FINANCING, TRASH IT OR FORWARD IT TO THE AGENCIES THAT HANDLE SCAMS. THIS "DON" MUST HAVE TAKEN THE PLACE OF THE INFAMOUS "ROBERT BECK" WITH MONEY TREE FUNDING. PLEASE BE AWARE!!!

COPY OF EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED IS BELOW:

WHY SELL YOUR REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION? WELL, THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO SELL AT AUCTION, SUCH AS:

YOU WILL RECEIVE OFFERS ON THE DAY OF AUCTION!

YOU WILL RECEIVE MARKET VALUE ON THE DAY OF AUCTION!

AUCTIONS BRING BUYERS TO THE POINT OF DECISION, THEY ONLY HAVE SECONDS TO THINK ABOUT MAKING A DECISION WHERE AS IF THE PROPERTY IS LISTED FOR SALE, A BUYER HAS DAYS OR EVEN MONTHS TO THINK ABOUT MAKING A DECISION WHILE YOUR PROPERTY IS SITTING AND WAITING ON A BUYER

SELLING A PROPERTY AT AUCTION MEANS THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL OWN THE PROPERTY AFTER THE AUCTION IN FINISHED AND BUYERS REALIZE THIS, THEREFORE THEY ARE MOTIVATED TO BID TO KEEP SOMEONE ELSE FROM OWNING THE PROPERTY THAT THEY DESIRE

EXTENSIVE MARKETING IS DONE ON THE PROPERTY WEEKS PRIOR TO AUCTION TO GET MANY QUALIFIED BUYERS TO ATTEND

AUCTIONS TAKE THE GUESS WORK OUT OF SELLING A PROPERTY. PROPERTY IS SOLD AT AUCTION UNDER THE SELLER'S TERMS WHICH MAKES REAL ESTATE AUCTIONS VERY DESIRABLE TO SELLERS.

THIS IS JUST A FEW REASONS TO SELL PROPERTY AT AUCTION. CALL ME FOR MORE COMPLETE DETAILS & FOR FREE AUCTION PROPERTY EVALUATIONS ON YOUR PROPERTY.

North MS Real Estate Market

Clint Bolton (RE/MAX Advantage) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:07:37 -0500

Well, fall is upon us and as we near the end of October, we have Thanksgiving and Christmas on our minds. As real estate professionals, we are used to a slower market in our area during this time of year. However, this is a great time to invest in real estate in our North MS market! It couldn't be better! There are deals to be had along with great interest rates. In the last 2 months, I've helped several first time home buyers take the step into home ownership. All of these clients of mine purchased and moved into homes that had instant equity. I helped them negotiate the best price and terms for the purchase and because of this, they now have approx. 5% to 7% equity in their homes already, even with only putting 3% down! Wow! What does this mean? It means that if we are close to the bottom in this housing market slump, like alot of real estate professionals believe, these clients and first time homebuyers will make money off of these homes within the next two years. It will be much easier for them to buy a larger or more expensive home in two years after they meet the requirement for not having to pay capital gains taxes. Not only will this be tax free profit from their home sell (if we elect a president that will stand for the capital gains tax to remain the same or lessen) but they will have more than the required 3.5% down payment that is required by FHA. This is a win win situation for the buyer!!! They have lived rent free for 2 years and profited off of the purchase of a home. With a little elbow grease and sweat equity in a foreclosure or short sale home, they've made an excellent investment!

If you'd like to learn how to do this, contact me!!! I'd be happy to help!!!

AVOID ANYONE FROM MONEYTREE FUNDING

Clint Bolton (RE/MAX Advantage) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:49:57 -0500

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF A SCAM BY MONEY TREE FUNDING. IF YOU RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF EMAIL OR CONTACT FROM MONEY TREE FUNDING OR ROBERT BECK WHO "SAYS" THAT HE IS THE SALES MANAGER FOR MONEY TREE, DISREGARD THIS COMMUNICATION! YOU WILL END UP PAYING FOR LEADS AND SERVICES THAT ARE NEVER DELIVERED.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF THIS. THEY PREY ON MORTGAGE BROKERS AND REALTORS BECAUSE OF THE SLOW HOUSING MARKET AND THE FACT THAT ALOT OF PROFESSIONALS IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY ARE HUNGRY FOR SALES RIGHT NOW.

PLEASE, PLEASE BE AWARE AND PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPANY ALSO!

Improving Market & Investment Opportunities

Clint Bolton (RE/MAX Advantage) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 12:37:18 -0600

Our market here in North Mississippi has been improving since the first of January. Buyers are slowly taking advantage of the extremely low interest rates and the deals that can be found at this time. Whether you have someone looking for investment land for development, houses for rental or just good deals on a new home, the North Mississippi real estate market is a great place to invest in real estate. We have not seen a huge reduction in sales prices but on some new construction, you can get a great deal if the builder has several homes on the market.

If you are in one of the higher priced markets in the nation and are looking for a place to invest in real estate, North Mississippi is THE place to do it. You can buy lots of real estate here for half the money that you can in the higher priced markets. For example, if you sold a home for for $500,000 in California, you could move to our market and buy a home twice the size for half the price and still have $200,000 left to purchase a minimum of 2 investment properties for rental. There are many great ways to invest in real estate in our market.

For more information on our local market please feel free to contact me. I deal in residential, commercial, land and investment properties. I look forward to hearing from you!

Great Investment Opportunities in North Mississippi!

Clint Bolton (RE/MAX Advantage) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 11:06:39 -0600

Well, things are not all that bad in our real estate market in North Mississippi. There has been a slight slow down but it's been caused mostly by the national media which has clouded buyer's perspective of real estate investing. We are in a buyer's market currently and there are many great deals that are here to be taken advantage of. In our local market we have not seen a large reduction in prices but there has been a slow down in new construction due to a surplus of homes, mainly new construction on the market.

Now, I said all of that to say this... Now is the time in our local market for investors to buy properties at great prices. I have several great investment opportunities currently for someone looking for a profitable long term investment.

There is a subdivision in Desoto County (last time I checked Desoto was the 26th fastest growing county in the nation) that was foreclosed on by the lender. The subdivision is already developed with curb and gutter. The infrastructure is in place. The foreclosing lender is offering this 66 lot subdivision for a great price. Our local market is already starting to pick back up and for the right investor, there is money to be made on this subdivision.

There is also a piece of commercial property in a prime growing location in Desoto county that the seller will allow me to sell for almost half the price that the surrounding properties have sold for. There is a huge development potential for this property!

Also, if there is any in the California, Nevada, etc. markets where home prices are much higher than the national average, Desoto County Mississippi is the place for you to invest. For example, if someone sold a home or piece of property in one of these higher priced markets, they could come to North Mississippi and purchase a home of their own and several investment properties for the same amount that they had in the one property in the higher priced market.

If anyone has questions about our market here in North Mississippi or Memphis, TN area, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be more than happy to discuss investment opportunities here in our market or work with any referrals that you may have to our area. Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hearing from you!!!

First Time Homebuyers

Clint Bolton (RE/MAX Advantage) — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 11:14:09 -0500

I am going to hold a first time homebuyer forum in the near future. I am currently gathering information that will be beneficial to first time homebuyers and I would like to receive feedback from any agent that has experience with this. If you have done this before please let me know how it went and some of the things that you offered to your attendees. Was it a success? I hope to provide lots of information on financing, building credit so that you can afford a home and lots of other information.
