As a Real Estate Broker over the years, I have played alot of different roles. Sometimes I have played a coach helping agents in making a game plan. There have been times where I have led my team down the field of the sales process, calling plays and orchestrating the team's success. As a trainer I have trained young Realtors in skills such as time management, ABC's of closing, greetings, follow up and the basics of sales. As the Broker or Sales Manager, it is important to determine what role you need to play to ensure your company's success. We don't know if our team is going to win the super bowl of Real Estate. But, by knowing our strength's and weakness as Team leader it will help us determine our best management style. Then we can lead our team members through the season, maximize their personal potential and score more touchdowns (closings).

Five Reason's To Buy A New Home Now! (edit/delete)

Five Reason's To Buy A New Home Now!

Keith Furrow www.keithfurrowandassociates.com publishing courtesy of Henry Company Homes www.henrycompanyhomes.com

If you've been waiting for home prices or interest rates to fall further before you buy a home, it's time to rethink your strategy. If you act soon, you'll be able to take advantage of historically low prices and interest rates that won't be around forever. And if you're a first-time buyer and you act very SOON, you can still take advantage of the TAX CREDIT. Here are five reasons to take the plunge now.

 1. You may get a fat tax credit.

The first-time homebuyer's tax credit is in most cases worth 10% of the home's purchase price..

 2. Prices are scraping bottom.

It's hard to know whether prices are as low as they'll go, but the housing market is showing signs of life.

3. Foreclosures are at record highs.

Buyers think foreclosures are a great deal until they see them in person and realize that often, they need a lot of work.

4. Rates are cheap.

If there's a silver lining to the recession, it's that interest rates will stay low.  If you can qualify for a mortgage on the home you want at today's rate, holding out for a slightly lower rate is probably a fool's errand. And, if inflation resurges, locking in today's interest rate (and mortgage payment) will look brilliant in hindsight.

 5. Demand is growing

 In some areas, competition for deals can be fierce.  A good new home at a good price will get multiple offers and sell quickly. What's a good house? It's new, clean, it shows well, and it's in a good neighborhood in a good school district.
