homegain: Any One working with Overseas Buyers?
- 09/16/08 02:24 PM
With the large numbers of REO, foreclosures and pre foreclosures and dollar low against the Euro (although its recently moved up lately) one would think that foreign buyers would be knocking our doors down to snap up real estate bargains.
Are any of you working with overseas buyers?
If so, do you normally work with overseas buyers and has that number increased in the past year?
Any tips on how to attract and market to overseas buyers?

homegain: Are Online Seller and Buyer Tools Helpful?
- 09/11/08 10:38 AM
I've heard many realtors talk about potential customers who come to them with a Zillow or HomeGain homevaluation (the original -pre Zillow homevaluation tool) and a discussion ensues regarding the valuation received from these tools.
At HomeGain, we have also spoken to our agent customers, many of whom have had their customers mention Home Sale Maximizer.
What about other tools?
Do they help or hurt the interaction between real estate agents and their customers?
Here is a link to HomeGain's buyer and seller tools including our Homevaluation tool, HomeSaleMaximizer and a half a dozen other tools

- 08/28/08 04:18 PM
Was listening to real estate radio usa tonight and they were talking about how Broker Bryant had 'Gone Fishing" and recommended that perhaps bloggers should go back and like rock stars republish their back catalogues.

- 08/24/08 03:08 AM
Every few days or so I come across a blog article on Home Staging.
Inevitably there is a mention to one of two HomeGain surveys (the 2003 and 2007 surveys) that indicates that home staging provides one of the best pre-sale ROI's.
The HomeGain survey is even cited the the book "Home Staging for Dummies" and a couple of pages dedicated to it.
While most people cite the study, they've never seen the nifty online tool, HomeSaleMaximizer that goes along with it!
HomeSaleMaximizer cites about a dozen other home improvement projects that can pay off.
