Today is the Day to Begin Building Your Real Estate Dreams! - 11/25/08 08:36 PM
I was speaking to a student from SUU who is taking some business classes.  He was telling me that his teacher said that most people are waiting for the bottom to start buying which is unrealistic because it is impossible to predict the actual bottom or top of the real estate market.  He said he believes the time to invest is now to make sure you catch the rise which surely will come.  I agree.  Interest rates, sales prices and huge inventory are all at a point to benefit the buyer right now which I would think would be rare in the … (0 comments)

For Real Estate News: Janet Naisbitt-Bagley Now Blogs on her website - 11/24/08 09:28 PM
My goal is to provide real estate information and news that is beneficial to buyers, sellers and real estate agents/REALTORS.  My understanding is that blogging is the best way to do that.  Recently, I wrote "15 Points for Your Real Estate Success," which has been published twice.  I put a slightly different and updated version of that on this Active Rain Blog in my last 15 blogs.  I have also put a slightly different version on my blog at www.homesincedarcity.com.  I may not always have time to blog in both places.  If you would like, you can check out my website for any recent … (0 comments)

How's The Real Estate Market?(Pt.#15of15 pts. For Your Real Estate Success!) - 11/22/08 06:11 PM
Everywhere I go people want to know, "How's the market," so I tell them:  People are buying homes in Cedar City, UT; and Janet Naisbitt-Bagley's office at ERA Realty Center is selling homes.  According to a local appraiser, we have a steady market which is great!  It is a buyer's market with more homes & land on the market than we have buyers, but we do have good buyers!  Supply and demand is in the favor of the buyer right now; however, if you sell and buy in the same market, it evens the playing field for the seller.  Prices and interest rates are … (0 comments)

pt.#14. HOMES ARE INVESTMENTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY USED--NOT JUST PAPER! - 11/20/08 09:10 PM
 
HOMES ARE ASSETS THAT ARE ACTUALLY USED THAT OVER TIME GROW IN MARKET VALUE.  OF COURSE, YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP YOUR HOME IN GOOD REPAIR TO MAXIMIZE YOUR INVESTMENT DOLLAR OR IMPROVE IT TO POSSIBLY INCREASE ITS VALUE.  IF YOU WANT TO SELL, YOU'LL WANT TO HAVE A CONSULTATION WITH JANET'S TEAM TO LEARN HOW TO STAGE THE HOME TO SHOW IT OFF LIKE A FANCY STORE WINDOW.  I CAN'T THINK OF ANY OTHER INVESTMENT AS HUGE AS REAL ESTATE THAT IS ALSO NECESSARY AND ESSENTIAL TO OUR PERSONAL WELL BEING AS WELL AS OURSOCIETY'S WELL-BEING.

Owning A Home Or Rental Property Is Better (Pt.13of15pts. for R. E. Success!) - 11/19/08 09:19 PM
One of my investors called and said he was taking his money out of the financial institutions and investing it in real estate because he felt that was a safer place for his money.  I agree whole-heartedly!In my opinion, owning a home or rental property is a better investment than stocks or bonds.  I've had nearly all my money disappear that was in the stock market, but my homes are still here with most of them being paid for by my renters. 
No one ever put their money in the stock market for me when prices plummeted.  On the other hand, my kind … (0 comments)

Live Where Most People Love to Play: (Point 12 of 15 pts. for R. E. Success!) - 11/18/08 07:16 PM
Cedar City is the Place to Buy!  I believe that Cedar City has incredible attractions to invite buyers to choose our area to live and/or invest. We have breathtaking national parks nearby.  We have skiing, hunting, water-skiing, golfing, fishing, cultural events, concerts, plays, camping and more. 
I read that it's wise to include rentals in a college town in your investment portfolio.  What luck! We are located in the very town where SUU has been named as one of the top 10 in the nation for value for the $ for education.  Our Shakespear Festival has received the Tony Award and is World Famous.  According to an … (0 comments)

Live Your Dream Lifestyle: (#11 of 15 pts. for your real estate success!) - 11/18/08 03:14 PM
Lifestyle:  There's an immense amount of pleasure, satisfaction and self-esteem that are derived from home-ownership that give you that warm fuzzy feeling of contentment and joy that we all dream of having but sometimes are too afraid to achieve.  You deserve to choose the neighborhood, style and size of home that fits your needs--your dream home--while it's affordable and obtainable!  Call Janet's team at 435-865-1019 & start today.
What is your dream home?  One of my favorite definitions is:  "Your dream home is everything you need and as many of your wants as you can afford."  You may need to start with very few … (0 comments)

More on: WINNING REQUIRES HOMES STAGING (Back to Pt. #6of15 pts.) - 11/13/08 03:57 PM
How many of you have heard of or were trained by Barb Schwarz?  How many of you REALTORS use her materials to train sellers to stage their homes?  Have any of you buyers ever chosen a staged home over another home just because you really appreciated how nice the home looked and you knew it would feel good to live there?  How many of you sellers have been trained to stage homes by Barb's DVD or an agent trained by Barb Schwarz?  How many of you have seen her on TV?  In my opinion, shes the best!
I recommend staging homes for all sellers … (1 comments)

In Your Lifetime, You'll Buy a Home for Someone:(Pt.7of15 pts. for RE Success) - 11/10/08 08:51 PM
According to recent statistics, new home sales in most regions of the country stayed the same or declined; however, the west saw an increase.  Hey--that's where we live!  What a great time for buyers to pick up their own real estate bargain while rates and prices are low and affordable.  Why buy a home for your landlord?  Buy your own home and enjoy Christmas in the cozy warmth of your own dream-come-true! Home ownership brings great satisfaction.  Enjoy the incredible feeling of self-confidence that comes from owning your own home.  It might as well be now, and it might as well be for you rather than for your landlord.

Winning Requires Home Staging: (Pt. #6 of 15 Pts. for real estate success) - 11/08/08 06:18 PM
Approximately 20 years ago, I attended excellent training on preparing your home for sale by Barbara Swartz at an ERA Convention.  I loved her presentation and bought her videos.  She made staging your home look so vital and yet so fun by saying that the way you live in a home and the way you show a home are two different things.  She did it in a way that was not offensive but delightful.  Have you ever been to her training or seen her on TV?  Isn't she fabulous and so incredibly talented?
Several years later, I gave out the last copy of her … (6 comments)

BUY NOW BEFORE THE RUSH: (Item #5 of 15 pts. for your real estate success) - 11/03/08 02:10 PM
I know it's been a few days since I wrote the last blog of item #4 for your real estate success, but here's item #5 now.  The delay in my writing was caused by a very spectacular event:  Kinsey Naisbitt, who weighed in at 8 lbs. 12 oz. and was 20 inches short. was born Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 2:17 p.m.  The doctor who assisted with her grand entrance exclaimed that he didn't think he'd ever delivered a baby with more hair.  She's adorable!  That makes me a happy grandma for about the 30th time.  I'll move forward with item … (0 comments)
