home buying revolution: How to Make a Realtor Hate you!
- 08/24/11 06:33 AM
I have seen so many blog postings complaining about the buyer that it seems like the buyer is out to try to make you hate them. Buyers want to look at houses, they watch HGTV all the time and know how things work! Buyers don't need financing approval, their brothers',cousins',sisters', father was a loan officer at Commerce Bank 2 years ago. And on and on it goes. Click on my video, I hope you like it, leave me a comment.

home buying revolution: Why Not Create New Real Estate Income Streams?
- 03/31/11 08:15 AM
As real estate professionals we already understand that the market of the last few years is tougher than ever. We understand that finding qualified buyers is super hard providing they can even sell their current homes in order to afford to buy a new ones. On these forums and when checking in with my broker/Realtor friends I hear way too many horror stories of time spent with potential buyers that looked like everything was going swimmingly only to have it crash and burn before the buyers could make it to the closing table. The result has been a lot of bitterness, … (4 comments)
home buying revolution: Real Estate Compensation - Alternatives to the Commission-Based Model (and yes, we still make a good living!)
- 03/31/11 03:24 AM
As a principle at Home Buying Revolution and a firm believer that the Real Estate industry is becoming consumer centric, i felt compelled to re-blog Jennifers blog. The home buyer will replace the risk the realtor is asked to take every day by working "On the come" by paying for the services required to buy a home, especially the fiduciary councel that a Realtor can provide best. I beleive the days of adding in the commission for a buyers representitive are numbered, as money continues to get tighter, the buyers and sellers are going to continue to grind down to … (4 comments)
home buying revolution: Japan, 8 days to go... Can Home Buying Revolution count on you?
- 03/30/11 08:51 AM

Join Home Buying Revolution and my daughter Ali in her initiative to send tea bags to Japan from us in the US! Time is running out of an initiative that my daughter started with a simple question, "What can we do to help". We were having a discussion on Japan, and how life can change in an instant. One second they were having a normal day and the next their lives changed forever!! She discovered, at … (2 comments)
home buying revolution: Changing How Real Estate Is Bought, Home Buying Revolution and You
- 03/30/11 06:04 AM
Changing How Real Estate Is Bought, Home Buying Revolution and You By Glenn Freezman, Home Buying Revolution I remember reading a few years ago a great quote that said "the only person who likes change is a wet baby". And yet change is inevitable. Every day the world changes around us offering a palette of positive and not so positive alterations to our lives. That said, digging your heels in and refusing to budge isn't going to change anything. I bring this up because as the CEO of Home Buying Revolution I'm constantly tasked with the process of telling Realtors and … (2 comments)
home buying revolution: You and I own a lot of Real Estate we need to sell
- 03/29/11 07:52 AM
You and I own a lot of real estate that we need to sell. The US government is making it very difficult. When a government insured mortgage is foreclosed on, HUD (Housing and Urban Development), rides in on a white horse and pays off the lender. These VA and FHA homes now belong to you and me and are managed by a huge government agency that evaluates the properties without appraisals. They list the properties with agents that have never set foot on the property and who make it cumbersome at best for local Realtors to show the property or get … (0 comments)

home buying revolution: Karma, Day 15, Tea for Japan! Pay it forward with Home Buying Revolution
- 03/28/11 11:59 AM
The Buddhist notion of karma suggests that, as human beings, we are responsible for our own happiness and we can also affect others through our daily actions and behaviors. Entrepreneurs know first hand how vital it is to spread positive messages to keep themselves and their teams driving towards success. During a recession or economic downturn, it is all too easy to get caught up in a lot of negativity. Don't fall into the trap! Instead, take a look at all the positives that come with being a business owner. Better yet, help another entrepreneur who needs a little help and … (3 comments)

home buying revolution: Biting the bullet on expenses
- 03/25/11 04:24 AM
The president ordered the cabinet to cut a whopping $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget! I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $2000 a month on groceries, medicine, bills, etc., but it's time to get out the budget cutting ax, go line by line through my expenses, and go to work. I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio -1/35,000 of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2000 a month; I'm going to … (9 comments)

home buying revolution: Japan, Day 10... Can we count on you? "T" it up!
- 03/23/11 10:18 AM
Today is day 10 of an initiative that my daughter started with a simple question, "What can we do to help". We were having a discussion on Japan, and how life can change in an instant. One second they were having a normal day and the next their lives changed forever!! She discovered, at that time, that Tea was one of the most sought after items, we supposed it was due to "that feeling of home" that they so surely miss. So, 10 days ago, the next morning i thought hey, If i ask 203,000 people who are on Active Rain … (0 comments)

home buying revolution: PAY IT FORWARD FOR JAPAN!!! DAY 8 前方へそれを支払ってください
- 03/21/11 08:13 AM
How many different ways can you say, PAY IT FORWARD? When disaster strikes, the difference between us and all other animals is our ability to PAY IT FORWARD, our ability to drop what's importnant to us and make it about what's important to them. When the combination Earthquake/Tsunami hit Japan, more than a half of million (500,000) people were instantly displaced. My daughter and I were discussing the tradegy the day after it occurred and she said that the number 2 item requested in Japan was a cup of Tea. A simple cup of tea. It reminds them of home! Then … (5 comments)

Last Monday night, as some of you are aware, my daughter came to me and said that one of the most sought after items in Japan was Tea. Simple Tea. 500,000 plus homeless in an instant! A simple pleasure, a cup of tea. Something to remind them of home. While your enjoying your breakfast this morning, with your families, in your homes and you take that sip of tea or coffee, take a minute and remember this post.

home buying revolution: Tea For Japan... IT'S DAY 5 and I CHALLENGE ALL 204,065 OF YOU!!

It was only 5 days ago that my daughter brought to our attention that Tea for Japan was one of the most sought after items following the incredible destruction of the combination Earthquake and Tsunami that has so affected that part of the world. The tea reminds the people of Home, a creature comfort, we can all take for granted. When you have nothing, like the poor people in those ravaged areas, there is no more "FOR GRANTED"! So I challenged all the Active Rain members, at the time it was just over 202,000, to take the high road, do the … (0 comments)

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.
