goomzee: With Our Powers Combined: R.E. Investing & the "Four-oh Wunk"
- 11/25/09 08:14 AM
A little bird fluttering about the office last week told me of a tantalizing opportunity for my 401(k). For those of you in the dark, a 401(k) is a retirement savings portfolio and can be used to facilitate investments. You may hear experts refer to it as a “four-oh wunk”; don’t be alarmed, this pronunciation also points to the same section of IRS Tax Code that serves as both an IRS Tax Code and the name of a retirement portfolio that can be used to facilitate investments.
Among other things, the bird mentioned that I should be primarily looking … (2 comments)
goomzee: How Being ‘Hyperpersonal’ Helped Me Meet New Bloggers
- 07/13/09 07:54 AM
Everyone knows the importance of having ‘hyperlocal’ content on your blog, but how many people, I wonder, recognize the importance of being ‘hyperpersonal’? Last week I was tasked to uncover some hyperlocal blogs in our current clients’ markets. Most ‘experts’ will say the best way to get on another blogger’s radar would be to lurk around the site until you find a post you feel comfortable commenting on. But I must say that I am not a fan of waiting, plain and simple. I found several blogs across the States worth following and here is how I went about garnishing the … (3 comments)
goomzee: "What happens if I put a '0' here..."
- 06/29/09 10:07 AM
Last week’s team meeting produced an interesting tale of ‘overpricing woe’. The parents of one of my associates listed their house in mid-2006 at $590,000. The inaccurate list price was determined by their real estate agent, and the property sat on market for nearly 2 years, suffering a price drop of almost $200K. By the time my co-worker’s family unloaded the property, they had to settle for only $400,000; this unpleasant situation could’ve been avoided if only it had initially hit the market in the correct price range.
Overpriced listings are, unfortunately, a common practice in real estate. Some agents … (13 comments)
goomzee: Wishing I Was a First-Time Homebuyer in '09
- 05/28/09 04:06 AM
I am in no position to stand on a soapbox and preach a “How To” on revitalizing the real estate market. I can however let you in on today’s most un-secretive, yet still ambiguous headline that stands to be one of your greatest selling tools for 2009: The $8,000 First-Time Home Buyer’s Tax Credit. With more than 300,000 buyers ‘coming off the fences’, one could attribute the recent industry uptick to several factors: a reduced inventory of agents which means a higher quality offering from those that remain; constant technological innovations serving to assist agents and streamline the closing process; the … (2 comments)
goomzee: 'Green' Goomzee
- 05/21/09 06:07 AM
A recent sign order resulted in our supplier mistakenly printing over 30 extra sign riders. Acknowledging the mistake, our supplier offered to dispose of them at no charge, a courteous gesture... ...but in today's economic and environmental climate... ...how could we just throw away 30ish perfectly good signs? Instead, we returned the signs, and asked our provider to simply re-label them when the time comes for the next order. Fantastic! An environmentally-friendly, all-around 'green' solution to a potentially wasteful problem! Goomzee also reduces paper waste by delivering listing information to homebuyers via text message. In fact, I even get 'THE … (3 comments)
