My Facebook Friend asked "what is your favorite piece of modern technology?"

Complete Realty, LLC — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:01:01 -0600

This is my response... copy and pasted,

Angie Ridleyomg, my list is a long one... Motion Computing so my clients can sign on my screen when at their home, Bambo so the clients can sign at the office on the Bambo and the signature show up on the screen, e-signatures so the client can review and sign docs anywhere in the world with out printing or faxing, transaction management software, again I can located any file or document from anywhere in the world...this is just the beginning... I am actually speaking on theses products in Jan at a conference....Oh, let's not forget "Shared View" if we have a transaction together and you are somewhere other than with me, you can log into my screen so we can view the docs together and you can also control the mouse as a pointer... and remember this is just the beginning!!!

Together these tech toys has made my office green. Less paper, less ink, less gas, less carbon footprint...my office is now growing with agents under 30...

Green for the future...

A Service Testimony and Thank you...Complete Realty, LLC with Localism/ Activerain

Complete Realty, LLC — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:25:06 -0600

I just wanted to let you know, we got the keys. He was able to pick them up no problem. WOOO-HOOO!! There was/is one thing, though. When we first got there, on the counter was a champagne flute. Inside the flute, was a letter from the seller, Elaine. It made me cry. Gave us a little info on he life, and her moms. How she (her mom) lived there till she was 87, and Elaine and her siblings grew up there. And how the house was full of love, and joy just waiting to make us happy. It was really sweet. I don't know if you can pass on to them, that i really appreciate it A LOT!

All i can say to you is i am forever grateful. You really made my dream of being a homeowner, realty. You have been wonderful to work with, and really helped out, even in the bad times... lol. You are a awesome Realtor, and would recommend anybody to go through you. Woody and Jessica are also awesome. Definitely will recommend both you and them to go through. Thank You thank you thank you!!!!!!!

Malisa

Appraisal for Declining Market or Energy Efficient Home...

Complete Realty, LLC — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 11:37:37 -0600

An interesting story...

My current client had spoke with a few real estate agents in our area. All the real estate agents told the homeowner he needs an appraiser to price the home for listing because of the declining market. The homeowner had 2 appraisals that came in about $30,000 less than we expected...

I now have a client for life.
I let the homeowner talk for about a 1/2 hour or 45 minutes. I realized this person knew he had an an energy efficient / green home and didn't know how to word it.

We toured the "WOW" home. At the end of the tour we sat down to talk. He asked me what I thought about the appraisals he received. I explained, "the appraisals that you have are useless." He looked at me with a huge question mark.

I was able to explain that he needed a HERS (Home Energy Rating Score) by a RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) person before the appraisals. The RESNET person will put in the report the score of the home and the "value added" because of the rating and home energy savings. I also added information about special loans for buyers that may purchase his home.

He trusted my advice. He called, energy auditors, LLC. David Nash took his equipment to the home and preformed the test. This home was proven to be an energy efficient home. While at the Michigan Realtor Conference the client called me totally excited about his progress.

The report will given to an appraiser for an accurate "opinion of value".

To be continued...

Have a special "Green or Energy Efficient Client" in Michigan. I love referrals...

Angie Ridley, LOCAL REALTOR® ACHIEVES NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® GREEN DESIGNATION

Complete Realty, LLC — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 15:26:50 -0500

Sept. 2009

Genesee County, MI - Angie Ridley, owner of Complete Realty, LLC, has been awarded the National Association of REALTORS^®' Green Designation, the only green real estate professional designation recognized by NAR.

Angie Ridley achieved this prestigious designation after completing 18 hours of course work designed specifically for REALTORS^®. The courses were created in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of industry experts from across the country; ensuring designees gain comprehensive knowledge of green homes and buildings and issues of sustainability in relation to real estate. Angie is currently the only EcoBroker Certified® in the area.

More specifically, Angie Ridley was trained in understanding what makes a property green, helping clients evaluate the cost/benefits of green building features and practices, distinguishing between industry rating and classification systems, listing and marketing green homes and buildings, discussing the financial grants and incentives available to homeowners, and helping consumers see a property's green potential.

"As energy costs rise along with concern for the environment, homeowners are looking for innovative ways to save money and live responsibly," said Dick Gaylord, NAR's immediate past president. NAR's Green Designation was developed in response to growing consumer awareness of the benefits of resource-efficient homes and buildings. The designation helps consumers who care about energy efficiency and sustainable building practices identify REALTORS^® who can help them realize their green real estate and lifestyle goals.

As an NAR Green Designee, Angie has gained the knowledge and the tools necessary to become a trusted green resource for MI's Genesee, Oakland and Lapeer Counties. For more information about Angie Ridley, please visit www.AngieRidley.com or e-mail Angie@AngieRidley.com.
