A Tribute To Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture

A Tribute To Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture

I'm not sure if you have seen "The Last Lecture." It has received a lot of publicity. If you haven't, then it is a must watch. If you have seen it, then watch it again. Last week Randy Pausch passed away after his courageous fight against cancer, so I decided to watch his last lecture again. I also watched a speech he recently gave at the Carnegie Mellon University graduation ceremony. Even if you have seen it before, it's worth watching over, and over, and over.

When I heard the news that he had died, I thought to myself, "I remember him and that speech he gave." And when I watched it again, it sent chills up my spine. So, even if you have seen it before, watch it again. We all need to take his advice, because we never know when it may be our "last lecture."

Pricing Strategy - Which Do You Subscribe To, If Any, And Why?

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 19:34:46 -0500

Pricing Strategy - Which Do You Subscribe To, If Any, And Why?

$349,877

$349,900

$350,000

Where do you price your listing? What is your reasoning?

Our understanding, and the "history" of our pricing strategy goes a little something like this...

When we first entered the real estate business, we were taught to price our listings at $349,900, for example. That's because the MLS Book was still in use, and the computerized MLS was "fairly" new. We were told that if we priced it there, then it would show up "before" the other listings, priced at $350,000, in the MLS Book. If ours showed up first, then it would likely get more showings. Also, it sounds like less money than $350,000. "That's why gas prices are listed at $.99 and 9/10, rather than $1.00. It sounds like it's less." Obviously, that was a while ago!

Then after a few years, we learned to price our listings at $349,877, for example. Then our listings would show up even before those priced at $349,900! Also, our listings would stand out from the other listings, and if we had a reputation of doing a good job, and being good to work with, then other agents, working with buyers, would notice our listings, and show and sell them first. Honestly, we didn't really notice a difference in our showing activity.

Now, we price our listings at $350,000. It's called, "pricing on the quarters." With the MLS information now being "public" information, and all searches being done online, you can get broader exposure by "pricing on the quarters." How, you ask? Well, when you search for listings in the MLS, do you search from $314,386 to $349,877 or do you search from $300,000 to $350,000? On Realtor.com, and all of the other "consumer MLS" websites, the price points aren't usually editable. They're preset to $300,000 to $325,000 and $325,000 to $350,000.

So, if we price at $349,877 or $349,900 then our listing will only show up in the $325,000 to $350,000 search. If we price it at $350,000, then it will show up in the $325,000 to $350,000 search and the $350,000 to $375,000 search. Since we started "pricing on the quarters," we have seen a noticeable increase in our "virtual" showings, along with the "real" showings. We regularly track the traffic that "view" our listings online, and that number has jumped up! We have also seen a significant increase in the number of "real" showings as well.

That is just one of the many things that we're doing in this market to help get our listings sold.

We're continually educating ourselves, so that we can provide the best service to our clients, and get our listings sold. So, we ask again...which strategy do you subscribe to, if any, and why?

Welcome, Fellow CDPEs

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:54:09 -0500

I just came back from Star Power, in Orlando, Florida last night. We spent 4 days with many of the top Realtors in North America, and many of them were incredibly excited about the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation.

The course is already being taught all over the country, and with the amazing amount of interest of these top agents, I imagine that we are, fortunately, going to have a lot more CDPEs to learn from and refer to. So, I figured, why not have a forum specifically for us?

Please, use this forum well. As the description says, it is "a forum for graduates of the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation course to share successes, ask questions, stay informed, and send referrals to other effective, efficient, and EDUCATED Realtors."

TOP STORY: Rates Creep Up

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 06:59:47 -0500

TOP STORY: Rates Creep Up

A recent survey and a rate increase could mean more competition for homes

Recent indication is that first time home buyers are getting tired of sitting on the sidelines. According to a recent online poll taken by the National Apartment Association, 17 percent of renters plan to make the jump to home ownership in the next year; 41 percent of the 2,041 respondents planned to be home owners within two years. Only 31 percent planned to still be paying rent five years from now.

Another factor that could very soon contribute to an increase in home buying could be rising mortgage costs. Fixed-rate mortgage rates rose to 6.32 percent, the highest it has been since October. After months of aggressively dropping interest rates, many lenders are worried that the Fed will be forced to raise rates back up. As interest rates rise, so do mortgage rates. According to a press release on freddiemac.com, Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist said that, "Mortgage rates jumped this week after a number of Federal Reserve officials, most notably Chairman [Ben] Bernanke and Vice Chair [Donald] Kohn, expressed concern over a threat of inflation." We may very well be seeing the beginning of the end of the super-low mortgage and potential buyers may realize that with rising rates, now may be the time to jump in. Nothaft added, "Moreover, pending home sales for April unexpectedly rose by 6.3% and mortgage applications for home purchases ... were also up last week."

What Interest Rates Really Mean

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 08:18:08 -0500

What Interest Rates Really Mean

The Fed did this! The Fed did that! Rates are up! Rates are down! Aaaagggh! Okay, now exhale. In turbulent economic times the media can't wait to report what interest rates are doing. Pundits prognosticate, forecasters forecast and soothsayers sooth. When should you buy a home based upon interest rates and when is it the right time?

The fact is that interest rates, while important, have little impact when it comes to buying a home. Alright, alright, I'll admit: it's important...but it's not a deal-killer.

There is a fixation on what rates are doing. A fixation on what rates will be in the future and what rates were in the past. I've heard potential home buyers tell me, "I'm not sure I want to buy now because rates are ¼ percent higher now and I think I'll wait." I say, "Wait for what?" I say let's not look at the rate but instead concentrate on what that rate actually represents ... your monthly payment.

Let's look at what an interest rate move of ¼ percent really does to a $200,000 mortgage. Say a 30-year interest rate at 6.00 percent "jumps" to 6 ¼ percent. Shall we sit on the sidelines, thinking such a move is suddenly unaffordable? No. The payment on a $200,000 loan "jumps" by about $32 a month!

Now let's get a bit more draconian and look at a ½ percent increase and the monthly payment increases by $64. Putting that into daily financial terms, $64 is about a tank of gas. While not insignificant, it's hardly a reason to stay on the sidelines of home ownership. Right now, buyers should have more urgency than ever. Home prices have declined enough to make buying more affordable than it's been in recent memory and interest rates (whether at 6 percent or 6 1/4 percent) are historically low. It's time to act.

Are rates important? Sure they are. But are they the end-all? Heck no. Interest rates over the past few years have been in a very tight range, with few major swings. Just remember what interest rates represent, your monthly payment, and pay less attention to the headlines.

We Do...Do You?

Fri, 30 May 2008 17:28:50 -0500

What is it that we do?

We do at least an hour of focused lead generation every morning that we work! Our "Power Hour."

The idea is simple. Each morning between 9 am and 10 am, we start our day with an hour of focused lead generation. The results are simple too: we close more deals and make more money.

We are trying to reach our past clients and sphere of influence (SOI) personally. It is no longer good enough to simply leave a message on their voicemail.

When we get them on the phone, we:

Thank them for their past business and support.
Let them know about value added programs: that we can help people avoid foreclosure, Free Moving Truck, upcoming Client Appreciation Party, etc.
Ask questions, listen, and record the answers in our database (we use Top Producer).
Oftentimes, we use the F.O.R.D. method of asking questions:
- Family: "How's the family?"
- Occupation: "What's new at the office?"
- Recreation: "How did Suzie's first basketball season turn out?"
- Dreams: "Have you given any thought to investing in property to fund the kids' college education?

After we call our past clients and SOI, we then focus on Expireds, and unrepresented sellers (FSBOs).

The results are terrific!! We've been getting more and more listings and referrals.

No matter what type of business you're in, if you need clients/customers, then you should be pro-actively searching for them.

You owe it to yourself to commit to an hour each day. We understand if you don't want to do it though...success isn't for everyone! ;-D

How Do I Attract More "Perfect" Clients?

Thu, 29 May 2008 20:24:23 -0500

Have you ever had a "nightmare" client? Someone who makes it really difficult to do your job? Someone who makes it hard to smile when you're dealing with them? Someone who causes you a LOT of stress? Someone who maybe even makes you second-guess yourself?

No matter what your business, if you interact with the public, then you probably "bump heads" with your clients on occasion.

So then, how can you minimize that friction? The answer is by attracting more "perfect" clients.

The next question, then, is how do you do it?

Define what you want. As an example, this is how we define our "perfect" client for our real estate business: "Someone who we like, and who respects us and our team. Someone we really connect with, who understands the current market, is motivated, financially capable, and who wants to buy, sell, invest or refer us to someone who does or wants to, in the next 30 days."
Once you've defined what you want, then you have to go "kiss a bunch of frogs," to "find your Prince." Go find your "perfect" clients. You have to lead generate to get in front of potential "perfect" clients.
Type up your definition, and post it in your office, and anywhere else that you will see and read it regularly.
Visualize meeting a "perfect" client every day. If you see it, you can realize it. The Law of Attraction states that "you get what you focus on." If you focus on the positive thought of finding more "perfect" clients, rather than the negative of, "I don't want to work with any more jerks," then you will get exactly that.
Write down, every day, "I am in the process of meeting another "perfect" client, or more, today."

We also recommend reading the book, "Attracting Perfect Customers," and watching the movie, "The Secret." (www.thesecret.tv)

Doing this has helped us attract more "perfect" clients. When we're interviewing buyers and sellers, we're going over our "perfect client criteria," in our heads. If they don't meet our standards, then we're passing on them. It's a great feeling to work only with nice, happy, cooperative people who appreciate your efforts.

We hope that you benefit from this as much as we have. As we said, no matter what type of business you're in, focusing on your "perfect" client will bring you a LOT of success and happiness.

I Think That We're Golfers Now

Wed, 28 May 2008 18:56:40 -0500

We recently acquired 2 sets of golf clubs.

Neither of us has ever golfed before, and yet, all of a sudden, here are 2 sets of FREE golf clubs! From what we've been told, they're not exactly high quality, however, for the price, they're good enough for us.

A friend was brave enough to take us out to Southwinds Golf Course in Boca Raton this week, and show us the basics of the game. We lost several balls in the water, got a little sun burned, and really enjoyed ourselves!

We will definitely go out again, so if you're behind us, just let us know, and we'll happily let you play through! Otherwise, thanks for your patience!

If you're brave enough, have plenty of patience, like to laugh, and wouldn't mind playing with a couple of rookies, then let us know...we'd love to play with you too!

For our current and future clients, along with any other Realtors that we'll be working with...we promise not to become addicted! We'll only golf occasionally for fun, and to get out into this beautiful South Florida sunshine!

Just In Case You Were Feeling Young Today

They've never heard "Where's the beef?" "I'd walk a mile for a Camel." or "De plane...de plane!"
They don't care who shot J.R., and have no idea who J.R. is.
The Titanic was found? They thought it was just a movie.
Boston, Chicago, Kansas, Alabama, and America are places, not groups.

There has always been MTV.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Feeling old yet? Us too!

Hope you got a chuckle out of these!

The Best Haircut Around

Wed, 21 May 2008 18:07:08 -0500

Hey Everyone!

We each just had our hair cut at a new local barbershop. WOW! This guy has a beautiful shop, extraordinarily nice people, great prices, and gives the best haircut around!

Located on the Southeast corner of Hillsboro and 441, at 5450 W Hillsboro Boulevard in Coconut Creek, Florida, across from the new BIG Wal-Mart, and next to Bru's Room. It's called Volkan's Barbershop, named appropriately for the owner, Volkan Bulmus. When you go in, you're welcomed with big smiles by Volkan, his wife Roseangela, and oftentimes, their 2 sons, along with the other barbers and stylists on duty.

Talk about great service! Volkan takes his time cutting your hair, making sure that you're happy with the results. He even uses hot shaving cream to shave your neck! Then comes the wonderfully aromatic, yet subtle, Turkish (appropriate, as Volkan is from Turkey!) after shave lotion.

Before we were "up," we watched as he gave a gentleman a hot towel shave. He took his time, made sure that the beard softened, carefully shaved the man, massaged his face, and "cooled him down," with a nice after shave cream. You don't see service like that anymore...unless you visit Volkan!

Clearly, Volkan is a peace-loving man, as you can tell from some of his decor. He has the Red Sox AND Yankees hanging on the same wall! (We do know, that his true loyalty lies with the Sox, though!) Conversation comes easily, and doesn't feel forced or uncomfortable. He is truly a "good man."

They cut men's, women's, and children's hair. So...the next time you need a haircut, or feel like lavishing yourself with a hot towel shave, make sure to call Volkan (954-419-9494) to reserve a spot, or just drop in. Walk-ins are welcome. Make sure to tell him that the Nathanson Brothers sent you! Maybe we'll see you there...we will definitely be back!

What Is A Certified Distressed Property Expert?

Sat, 17 May 2008 14:17:59 -0500

What Is A Certified Distressed Property Expert?

Eighty-five percent of homeowners experiencing financial distress say their first contact will be to a licensed agent. Yet, less than 1 percent of agents consider themselves foreclosure or distressed property experts. The Nathanson Brothers have taken the time and money to invest in the education necessary to allow them to help people in this most difficult and stressful situation.

The developers of the Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation (CDPE) believe that in almost all cases the best person for a homeowner in distress to speak with is a well informed licensed Realtor® that has the tools needed to help that homeowner find the best solution for their situation.

Foreclosure is a devastating financial and emotional process for a homeowner to go through, and in many cases they do so alone and without guidance of any kind, and therefore never recover financially.

Through extensive and ongoing education, the Nathanson Brothers have earned the CDPE Designation, and have dedicated their time and effort to understanding the issues distressed homeowners are dealing with. They understand the full range of solutions and are ready to help.

While experiencing financial distress is difficult for any family, the process of finding a real estate professional shouldn't be. Selecting a CDPE agent ensures you are dealing with a professional ready to address your needs.

We are here to help, and will use the utmost discretion!

Having Trouble Making Your Mortgage Payments? Call An Experienced and Educated Realtor First.

Fri, 16 May 2008 18:53:40 -0500

Having Trouble Making Your Mortgage Payments? Call An Experienced and Educated Realtor First.

We believe that the most important person to talk to if you are having trouble making your mortgage payments is an experienced and educated Realtor.

Notice that we qualified ourselves by saying experienced and educated. In reality, the majority of agents are not experienced in working with homeowners experiencing financial distress. The agents that DO have experience can give you valuable information on your options as a homeowner.

There IS hope!

It doesn't matter if you are:

Facing Foreclosure
Just received Notice of Lis Pendens or Notice of Default
Are considering filing for bankruptcy
Are upside down on your house and owe more than it is currently worth
Have a damaged property
Lost your job
Are getting divorced

If you are in trouble, then find an experienced and educated Realtor to discuss your options. Many times the homeowners we have met with actually do have equity, and we can help them access it and solve their issues. You may be in this situation and not even know it.

How do you find an experienced and educated agent?

Ask.

Qualify them by asking the following questions:

What is the foreclosure process in (insert your state here)?
The agent should be able to give you an exact answer as to how the process works and how you can work together to slow it down.

How many distressed sales have you closed?
The agent should be able to give you a number and tell you of their successes.

How many distressed homeowners are you currently working with?
You want to know what kind of experience an agent has, and you probably do not want to be the only distressed homeowner they are working with unless they have a GREAT answer to the next question.

What kind of education do you have on this subject?
If the agent has taken the time and money to get an education in foreclosures, short sales, and other distressed property issues, then they are probably a good bet for you to work with. On the job training in a situation like this, is not the way to go.

Don't Lose Hope!

We work with distressed homeowners, and for the vast majority of them there are options and we can help them.

Want A Better & Less Expensive Option Than A Hotel?

Fri, 16 May 2008 18:13:46 -0500

A friend introduced us to a great website a couple of years ago. On the website, you input your criteria for where and when you will be in a particular area, your budget, and private owners of homes (the homes are fully furnished) contact you with offers. Essentially, you look for vacation rentals on the site.

As an example, we like to go to Disney World a few times each year, now that we're living in beautiful South Florida. So, we go to the website, enter Kissimmee or Orlando as our destination, our desired visit dates, and our budget. Then private owners email or call us (our choice) with offers. You can then contact the individual owners, and negotiate directly with them.

Recently, we booked a 3 bedroom condo, only about 2 miles from the main gate at Disney for $50/night! A single room at the Days Inn could cost that much! Another time, we booked a 5 bedroom house, with a heated pool, about 2 miles from the main gate at Disney for $1,000 for 7 days! We had friends from Canada who came down for a week's vacation, and that home worked perfectly. The house was in a nice subdivision, with a pool, basketball court, barbeque area, clubhouse with game room, billiards, etc., so we had things to do on the days we didn't feel like going to Disney.

They have participants all over the world! So, the next time you're planning a trip, take a look at the website, enter your criteria, and enjoy your vacation!

What is the website, you ask? www.rentalo.com

We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

Why Not Just "Let The Bank Take It Back"

Fri, 16 May 2008 17:49:48 -0500

Unfortunately, many frustrated and scared homeowners say that they will simply "give it back to the bank." There are many who have been so frightened by the bank's bill collectors, that they simply move out in the middle of the night!

What they don't realize is that a foreclosure doesn't come off their credit in 7 years, it follows them around forever. They will always have to disclose that they have had a foreclosure on any financing application, and on many job applications. Many employers are running credit reports on incoming AND current employees. If there is a foreclosure on their record, they may not be hired, and we're also hearing of people being passed over for promotions, demoted, and even fired. Anyone with security clearances (government, military, law enforcement, etc.) may have that clearance jeopardized by a foreclosure.

While it may not seem like it now, there will come a time when their current financial troubles will pass, and they will feel much better knowing that they did everything they could to avoid foreclosure. So, if you know anyone who is facing foreclosure, or is upside down on their mortgage, please let us know. We will handle it with the utmost care and discretion.

We're Toastmasters!

Thu, 15 May 2008 20:23:29 -0500

That's right!

We recently joined the Toastmasters organization. Why, you ask?

Survey after survey shows that presentation skills are crucial to success in the workplace. Many people pay high fees for seminars to gain the skill and confidence necessary to face an audience. Toastmasters provides an option that is less expensive and held in high regard in business circles. This organization has been around for more than 84 years and offers a proven...and enjoyable way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.

We want to...

Learn to communicate more effectively
Become better listeners
Improve our presentation skills
Increase our leadership potential
Become more successful in our careers
Build our ability to motivate and persuade
Reach our professional and personal goals
Increase our self confidence

It has only been a few weeks, and we're enjoying it already!

Worried About Losing Your Home To Foreclosure?

Thu, 15 May 2008 18:51:37 -0500

Worried About Losing Your Home To Foreclosure?

You are not alone. Florida alone has almost 1 million distressed homes (pre-foreclosure, bank auctioned, and bank owned homes), and makes up over 15% of the national distressed property market. In Broward and Palm Beach Counties, approximately 1 in 25 homes are in some stage of the foreclosure process.

There are many different reasons for someone to be unable to make their mortgage payment, and regardless of what yours may be, there is most likely a way to avoid foreclosure!

The Nathanson Brothers are Certified Distressed Property Experts (CDPE), and can help you find a solution. Whether your solution will keep you in your home, or allow you to sell your home in what is called a "short sale," our goal is to negotiate with your lender and help you avoid a credit-destroying foreclosure.

To speak confidentially with the Nathanson Brothers about what your options are, give them a call at 561-948-1591 or email them at Sold@NathansonBrothers.com. Visit their website at www.NathansonBrothers.com

There is light at the end of the tunnel, and we can help you reach it.
