ala carte real estate: Opportunity is always knocking, Go open the Door
- 11/22/11 03:25 AM
Behind every business idea is a point of frustration that motivates an entrepreneur to take action. It can solve a small problem like how to find the remote control when it finds itself under the sofa (clapper!) to figuring out ways to take your phone with you everywhere you go. For those paying attention, opportunity is always knocking. The biggest challenge is knowing when to answer the door. As the owner of Family Abstract, I have been intimately familiar with problems that face the real estate industry in general and the title business in particular. Contrary to popular belief, the title … (1 comments)

- 10/21/11 07:07 AM
As part of our roll-out of Nucazza, we're speaking to a number of Realtors about the program and how it benefits both of them and home buyers.

Home Buyers Working with Realtors Through Nucazza can save a lot of money! Technically, this is correct. But the reality is that the money changing hands … (0 comments)

Bruce Springsteen's' Rosalita, was just playing on the radio, the line, "Some Day We'll Look Back on This and It Will All Seem Funny" resonated to me as a question for real estate professionals.

ala carte real estate: Why offer respectful choice when you can make more money from forced compliance and social pressure?
- 10/04/11 04:17 AM
Is it any wonder that market-leading organizations fear the "A-Typical"? The defining idea of the twentieth century, more than any other was mass. Mass gave us efficiency and productivity, making us (some people) rich. Mass gave us huge nations, giving us (some people) power. Mass allowed powerful people to influence millions, giving us (some people) control. And now Mass is dying! We see it fighting back, clawing to control conversations and commerce and politics. But it will fail, it must. The tide has turned, and mass as the engine of our culture is gone forever. That idea may make you uncomfortable. … (5 comments)

We need you! Nucazza is completly free for consumers and Realtors. Your comments are appreciated. We have buyers that are going through our seminars and webinars and learning about Alternative Compensation Models. The only real estate business model that guarantees payment for work done by realtors. The model, as co-presented by one of our marketing partners, CitiBank, gives the home buyer a credit card with the necessary monies needed to pay for the services of their Realtor up front thereby alleviating the issue of the buyers not having the cash on hand to pre-pay for their buyers agent services. The theory … (7 comments)

3 Things You Should Know About Being A Real Estate Consultant by Glenn Freezman As anybody who reads my blog on a regular basis can tell you, I'm a huge fan of finding new ways that real estate agents can bring greater value to their home buying clients. One way that I feel we can creating significant and lasting change is if we can develop better models to serve our clients as consultants instead of salespeople. While at first it may seem like a semantic distinction, the reality is that offering consulting services to home buyers changes an awful lot of … (4 comments)

Alternative Compensation Models: Quick Math by Glenn Freezman A large part of what I think about every day is how our industry can create new models that are fair to both home buyers and the agents who serve them. For me, alternative compensation models are creating a doorway that allow agents to do a better and more fair job of representing their home buying clients while still getting paid in a manner that is respectful of their professional status and the hard work that they do. Alternative compensation models are basically real estate agreements that allow money to be shifted in … (4 comments)

The Discount Airline Ticket, Im Just Sayin Your ticket price is $129.00, one way, if you want to fly back it’s another $249.00. Your seat assigned is in the middle seat between 2 others, if you want a seat by the window, an additional $30.00, the aisle, $15.00.

Always Leave Something On The Table by Glenn Freezman If you've been in business for any period of time you been a situation where a deal needs to be negotiated. Sometimes it's a gentle push and pull that allows both a buyer and seller to get a lot closer to what they need out of the agreement. There are other times, for various reasons, when the deal is just not going to happen because one side or the other is not willing to make concessions. The art of negotiation is just that, an art. At the end of the day it's … (6 comments)
ala carte real estate: Why Not Get Paid Before the Closing?

Why Not Get Paid Before the Closing? By Glenn Freezman Here’s a quick scenario to think about: You are a Realtor representing a home buyer. They’ve found the perfect house (partly thanks to you) and everything looks good to go! Suddenly, the whole deal hits a huge bump. The inspection turns up some surprises or the home buyers have to deal with a family emergency or maybe they just changed their minds. That’s it - game over! You provided an unparalleled level of professional support, spent countless hours showing them around properties, made calls on their behalf and advised them on … (2 comments)

Through Webinars, co-branding and a message of positive choice we can identify home buyers on behalf of the lending institution and give them all the tools to make an informed decision as to how they wish to buy a home and how they wish to pay for the services provided. Nucazza, LLP will pass all interested home buyers to our database of participating Realtors. We are a free service to the home buyers as well as all ACRE graduates. We are an ACRE industry partner in the education, effectuation and Rabble Rousing of the Alternatives to Commission.
While in my 25th year as a multi-state title insurance agent I am fulfilling a promise I made to myself just 3 days into my new career. "This industry is broken, I need to part of the change" Over my tenure, the companies I have been involved with, Family Abstract, Inc. et al has been involved in over 100,000 real estate transactions. The number one question that continually rose was regarding the commissions being paid to the Realtors(r) at closing. The buyers insisted it was their money that paid for the commissions since it was added to the sales price, the sellers believed it was their money because it was paid as part of the sales price and the "Gentlemen of Real Estate that began it all were smart enough to put it in the Agreement of Sale to protect their own ASSets. Question 1A was, what does 6% commission have anything to do with the value my agent brought me? How does one equate to the other? Why am I handing money to everyone? :(
Nucazza, LLP was created as a way of giving back for an incredibly rich life that I have gotten to enjoy thanks to the real estate industry. I see great changes coming in real estate all to the benefit of our children and our grandchildren. Both as buyers and sellers as well as for those that become a new "Evolutionary" Realtor all will enjoy the richness of life that will be associated with this profession.
