I have to admit that I am a workaholic. I would work seven days a week nonstop if I was single. Work can be very addicting to me because I want to get the job completed. I am very good at what I do when it comes to real estate. Therefore, I have no problem in attracting new business. My grandfather taught me at a young age by saying the following statement see “Never give up work today because it may not be there tomorrow.” My grandfather was a hard worker … (36 comments)
The Phoenix real estate market is hot especially for rentals. I am seeing more and more people relocating to Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix job marketing is on fire with many new companies relocating here. Plus, the companies who have been here are expanding their operations. That means they need affordable housing and educated workers to fill these job vacancies. The great thing about taking care of tenants is that they will take care of you by referring their friends and family when it comes to real estate. I have filled two vacancies in the last … (18 comments)
Repairs are going to happen when one owns rental property. Yes, things will break after you purchase the home and place tenants. How does one make repairs going forward? Do you have a reserve to cover minor and major repairs? Perhaps, one should purchase a home warranty to offset a financial disaster. That is a personal choice. What do you do when a tenant refuses entry for repairs? There are times when tenants believe they know the law better than anybody else. Personally, I do not argue with the tenant. I simply remind them that the … (26 comments)

- 05/10/17 06:28 AM
REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITY Real estate agents live in their local community so much is expected from us. I know many of us volunteer in several different organizations in ones local community. I am a type of person that must take action. The school that my children attend was facing a shortage of parent volunteers to join the parent teacher organization. I joined the organization this past October because the annual Turkey Trot event was going to be cancelled if someone did not stand up. So, I could not have that happen. It was awesome to see … (19 comments)
Many people ask me how I ever got into Phoenix Property Management business. I have excellent background in operations, technology and people skills which are very much needed in doing Phoenix Property Management.

I recently evicted a person for failing to pay rent on a consistent basis. I know I was asking a great deal for a … (30 comments)
It was another normal Saturday showing rental properties to potential tenants. Again, I own and run a Phoenix Property Management company located in Phoenix, Arizona.

They informed me that one unit was abandoned by the tenant. They left the back window wide open for homeless people to enter the property. The previous tenants trashed the place. I immediately sent … (15 comments)

An agent who spends time searching and showing homes to a buyer without a buyer broker agreement, is likely to have a disappointing situation occur. It's like being married without a marriage license. After spending time, effort, and energy, searching for homes and showing homes, a buyer can choose to work with another agent at any point, with no consequences. Some people just don't understand the work involved when searching for a home and end up having little respect for the agents time.
Buyer agency relationships are in writing and require … (14 comments)

I know many of us spend many marketing dollars each and every month to make the phones ring. Statistics say we have less than five minutes to respond to a message left by a prospect before they call the next real estate agent. I will never understand why real estate agents never answer their phone. The number one way I get business is that I answer my phone. Let me give you an example from the other day. I was busy collecting past due rents last Friday. I received a phone call at 5:15PM from an … (17 comments)
