real estate: 3 Effective Ways to Use Video to Get Clients
- 10/02/17 11:08 AM
Did you know video is one of the most effective ways to get clients?
If you’re only using video to showcase listings, or if you aren’t using it at all, you’re missing out.
Many agents don’t use video because they find it intimidating. They worry they don’t have the right equipment or they won’t be able to edit the video once it’s shot.
The good news is you don’t need any special equipment to make high-quality videos. Your smartphone’s camera and microphone will work in almost every situation.
Your phone also might include basic editing software. If it doesn’t, you can find free and inexpensive … (1 comments)

real estate: The 3 Questions You Must Ask Every Buyer
- 08/21/17 01:05 PM
You’ve heard the old cliché that buyers are liars, right? It’s so well-known it was #1 on Inman News’ list of the top 50 real estate one-liners, and for good reason.
There are few things in real estate more frustrating than showing buyers multiple properties only to have them make lowball offers, decide to continue renting, or buy a home through another Realtor. If you’ve had any of those experiences, you might be tempted to agree that buyers can’t be trusted.
But what if there was a way to weed out many of the seemingly untrustworthy buyers just by asking three simple questions?

Family & Friends Mortgage - 7/13/2017
Somehow it just seems right to give your kids a mortgage when they buy a house, if you can afford it. Wouldn’t it be great for someone to pay you 4-5% interest on a secured loan? Yes it is until the IRS sticks their nose into it. THE IRS??? Yep. Read on…
Anytime a lender and borrower can agree on rates and terms, it can be a good match but IRS has specific rules that govern the transaction especially when the parties are family or friends.
The loan must be done in a business-like manner … (0 comments)

real estate: Are You Making This Common Mistake?
- 02/27/17 03:53 PM
Tell me if this sounds familiar.
Business is a little slow and you need to generate more closings. So you call the people you know, hold a couple of open houses, and attend some networking events.
Business picks up.
Before you know it, you’re barely able to keep up. You feel like showing property, managing listings, and holding deals together consumes every minute of your day.
As your listings sell and your buyers close, you finally have a chance to breathe. But, before you know it, business is a little slow again and you need to generate more closings.
So you call the people you know, … (3 comments)

What Does Your Premium Really Pay For?
An important part of title insurance is its emphasis on risk elimination before insuring. This gives you, as the policyholder, the best possible chance for avoiding title claim and loss.
Title insuring begins with a search of public land records affecting the real estate concerned. An examination is conducted by the title agent or attorney on behalf of its underwriter to determine whether the property is insurable. The examination of evidence from a search is intended to fully report all “material objections” to the title. Frequently, documents that don’t clearly transfer title are found in the “chain,” … (0 comments)

- 07/19/12 11:12 AM
High-end sellers are now racing against the clock: with the Bush tax cuts set to expire, and capital gains tax rates to go up on January 1st, you could potentially owe hundreds of dollars more in taxes on your next sale.
