montgomery county: Hard Money Lenders-Predator or Savior?
- 03/11/19 11:26 AM
There are two myths about hard money lending that I like to address today. One, hard money lending is the best way to get funding for a fix/flip. Two, hard money lender prefers to foreclose on your investment rather than collect the high interest payments. Hard money lending is misunderstood by new investor. It's unfortunate because it can be easy to navigate if understood properly. The myth that hard money lending is the only way to go when buying a fix/flip is inaccurate. There are several sources of funding to seek out first and foremost before selecting a hard money lender. However, after (0 comments)
montgomery county: You really want Zillow to buy your house?
- 03/06/19 05:24 PM
Zillow's new service-ibuyer has hit the market in Phoenix, Atlanta, and Denver. There are three commercials which play on the emotions of a seller. Zillow claims a seller would be interested in selling their home for cash to a company they know and can trust -all while making a bubble beard and cooking unicorn pancakes. Very cute, but misleading. As there are many educated consumers that will be able to understand this arrangement, at the same time there are many others that will not. Unfortunately, a lot of sellers will not hire a professional realtor or real estate attorney to help navigate them (4 comments)

montgomery county: You want to buy a home? Do this first...
- 02/16/18 03:39 AM
If a buyer is interested in buying a home, they should start the process 6-9 months before the purchase. It should begin with checking their credit. If any issues are found, they can work on that immediately. However, it takes several credit cycles (every 30 days) for the credit report to update. Credit is one of the 3 C's (credit, capacity, collateral) needed with buying a home and it is very important. Having a good to excellent credit score will determine how much you will pay to borrow money-essentially your interest rate. When reviewing their credit reports, they should be looking (2 comments)
montgomery county: Property Coin is the new Bitcoin for Real Estate
- 02/15/18 09:09 PM
It's exciting times in the world of technology and real estate. A new cryptocurrency called property coin will hit the market in a few weeks. It was built on a blockchain platform similar to bitcoin. The future is here Realtors. Title companies will soon be obsolete and real estate will transfer via a click of a mouse. Are you afraid? I'm not. Change is inevitable.
The concept is interesting. Aperture Real Estate Ventures is the genius behind property coin. The currency will be back by real estate investments and loans from the investment company-which as the companies holdings increase so will the coins value. The (3 comments)
1. RE License courses didn't teach you how to find new clients. 2. You are in the lead generation business first, real estate business second. 3. Your work hours will be crazy.

montgomery county: How do you stay motivated?
- 02/13/18 04:17 AM
The sales industry is stuff. It doesn't matter if you are selling cars, insurance, advertisement, and such-it's a daily grind. How do real estate agents stay motivated to continue on day after day, week after week, month and month, year after year in the face of rejection, disappointment, and a roller coaster ride of a dozen more emotions along with commissions. Well, I write my goals down everyday and every time I encounter a frustrating or difficult challenge to remind myself of what my end game ultimately is. I also exercise, blog, journal write, read, pray, meditate, take mini breaks, and laugh. What do you do (2 comments)

montgomery county: Why agents are afraid of the big F/U???
- 02/11/18 07:46 PM
Yes, i said F/U! Follow Up! As a Realtor following up should not be a scary thing to do. It puts money in your pocket and gives you an opportunity to soar beyond measure. I sold approximate 100 homes in my first two years of real estate sales, and many of those sales came from relentless following up. I did not quit when the homeowner said no I'm not ready to list my home, I kept pushing gently, with their permission of course, to continue to pursue the listing. Sometimes, I followed up once, some twice, but often it was months (1 comments)
montgomery county: Showcasing Your Home to Sell
- 01/12/18 05:29 PM
Once you've decided to put your home on the market, it's important to take a close look at it from the viewpoint of a prospective buyer. Objectively evaluating each area and then making your home "show ready" can have a major pay-off in terms of the offers it will attract and how soon those offers come in.
The Big Picture 1. Keep in uncluttered 2. Keep it clean. 3. Keep it repaired. 4. Keep it neutral 5. Keep it inviting. 6. Keep it bright.
The Small Details 1. Trim, weed and tidy up lawn and garden 2. Clean up pet areas 3. Repair screens, windows and doors 4. Rearrange furniture for a more (1 comments)
