purchasing: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT (about)
- 11/23/21 05:36 AM
First and most importantly, commerce-driven anything is a people business. If you choose to believe, everything & everybody is really in the people business but practicing in the chosen field. To be even more clear, I am in the people business practicing Real Estate. What drives this? The simple proven rule of marketing (and human nature): People buy from people first then the product or service
PRODUCT & SERVICES first?
Now to be fair, in todays society, people do buy products and services first and then may or may not experience a person. Sometimes it doesn't matter who the person is as long … (1 comments)

purchasing: ALL ROADS LEAD TO REASON IF YOU DON'T DOUBT
- 02/27/19 06:32 AM
That's what we are all looking for and expecting when pursuing what we want or when someone is pitching their wares, products or services i.e. does it make sense? This reason dynamic is invisible and always present and we usually without knowing bring it to the surface by inquiring or researching our curiosity. Is what is being said or represented reasonable? Profitable as in values exchanged?
THE OPPOSITE IS THE TRUE TEST
We have built-in within us to instantly identify what is NOT reasonable, ridiculous, far-fetched, doubtful & nonsensical & we not only say so but act it out in many cases with expressions … (4 comments)

purchasing: SELLERS IT'S THAT TIME
- 07/15/16 10:36 AM
The "Buy low and sell high" mantra is now upon you sellers. This is it. It comes when it comes and it is here now. If you were planning on selling for top dollar, quick close with little or no hassle, well pull the selling trigger and list with a Real Estate agent right now. You will then reap the rewards of the mantra and forever have this feeling that you made the right move at the right time
THE MARKET
It is a sellers market! Now let me be clear here. That doesn't mean to go out into the Real Estate market and ask … (2 comments)

purchasing: SELLER PREPARE TO OPEN YOUR HOUSE
- 03/15/16 10:10 AM
It is interesting to have to get to know someone right away and because you have to. Think about this. In Real Estate, a bunch of strangers get together rather quickly and have to learn about working with each other to realize a goal or a rather large, one time accomplishment AND successfully I might add. The team assembles and we then go into the charted vast seas of Real Estating
MY INITIAL MEETING
Yes to coming together, covering the obvious and having a workable meeting of the minds. Then, on to the subject property which is always interesting. You see the seller has accepted the premises, their … (6 comments)

purchasing: THAT OWNING FEELING
- 02/22/16 01:28 AM
There is nothing like it. A lot of the feelings that register when considering buying Real Estate are not able to be put into words. They exceed the emotions, thoughts and all considerations making for a state of well-being that is its own reward. The idea that the little world you wake-up to daily is owned registers deeply
IT'S MINE?
When you buy, you treat the place differently too. Its like part of the family now where you want to take care of it, repair or fix it up, make little changes so that it becomes personal and custom to your own way of living. … (13 comments)

purchasing: WHERE ELSE DOES THIS HAPPEN?
- 02/03/16 11:32 PM
Without fail, every time, over the decades, with very few exceptions, whoever purchases Real Estate in America, under correct conditions, and settles in for the long haul will discover the truth and magic behind what we call the American dream. Anyone can do it and the results are fabulous. Owning pays off guaranteed and its big money too
PUT YOUR SAVINGS DOWN
I have clients whose properties that I manage that were left to them by their parents. When their parents made the purchase, yes, it was worth the value of its time and having a job made having a home easy to do and … (6 comments)

purchasing: KEEPING PEOPLE WAITING
- 01/01/16 10:55 PM
When did this become acceptable? It is a contradiction in terms and conduct. Businesses beckon to us to come but then when we do, we are put on a type of hold. The hold or delay is countering the message making us consider to assess if it is worth it to stay. In some cases we must. In other cases we walk-away
HOLD ON?
It doesn't work any better over the phone either. If one answers the phone, then the caller should have needs met or the reason for calling addressed immediately. If not, why answer to begin with? Putting people on hold is substituted … (10 comments)

purchasing: You just killed your mortgage approval at the last hour!
- 08/16/15 09:38 AM
Rainer Russel writes a decent heads-up to all those borrowers out there who want to do business and he cautions them, in detail, on what to do and how to do it, but more importantly, what not to do. It is in the interest of every Real Estate agent to educate the public on this subject matter of what to do and why when trying to buy a home. A post worth reading here and thank you
Some of these circumstances you may think are obvious and others just don’t seem right, But they can kill your mortgage loan potentially at the very last … (13 comments)

purchasing: TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT?
- 01/29/15 12:52 AM
What a powerful and controversial position to take and bunch of words to speak or hear. The one saying it is clear and has drawn the line and has taken a stand. The one hearing it is forced to forgo anymore strategy and either get in or get out.
HOW IS IT SAID?
If said in the heat of the transaction, it means even more than what it says. If said as if to say...there is no more room to go or anything more to say, then it remains a true...moment of truth. Let's face it, he who has the gold rules and all this … (9 comments)

purchasing: WHATS THE LARGEST PURCHASE YOU MADE ONLINE?
- 07/14/14 12:01 AM
I remember when online shopping was introduced many moons ago. There was absolutely NO WAY I was going to shop online. There were so many concrete beliefs in place that I thought were insurmountable. Take giving your credit number and what goes with it. You didn't want that "out there" in cyberspace. That belongs in your wallet or purse and only comes out under strict supervision
THE FIVE SENSES
Then, I want to touch it. IT was whatever I was buying. I want to see it and for years that system had its way. Big box retailers knew this and that is what keeps them in … (11 comments)

purchasing: WHEN SALES TAKES UP TOO MUCH TIME
- 04/22/14 01:01 AM
When doing business, the inner core is the focus for the owner and servicer and the outer activities is designed for the user or consumer. The end user doesn't want to know about your inner workings and or problems. They just want to avail and sample what your selling or representing
GET TO THE POINT
User friendly comes to mind. Whatever services or products that are being offered that are not easy to use or partake of, you wont get a second chance to clean up that first experience. Today, meaning what you say and saying what you mean is literal and doing it quickly is a must!

purchasing: REDUCING EXPENSES FOR THE NEW YEAR
- 12/31/13 05:17 AM
Far be it from me that I tell you or anyone how to enjoy their quality of life. If you like doing something and it comes with a price to receive it, so be it as the little things sometimes enhance and help connect the life dots
REDUCE EXPENSES...INCREASE INCOME
Now with that said, increasing ones income and by reducing spending is always a good subject to explore. You don't have to make any decisions to increase awareness. Just be open to anything that passes your way and give it a look see. Take a moment and assess it.

purchasing: THE SYSTEM OF SPENDING SNARES US ALL
- 11/07/13 02:38 AM
According to big business, government and hard heart-ed people, MONEY is the end all. People are just walking wallets waiting to be opened. Its the money everyone wants and if they have to be nice to you to get it so be it. If they have to be NOT NICE to you to get it...they will. But money must change hands constantly in a capitalistic society
THE SYSTEMS DRIVES US
Some people remain down right ruthless, insensitive and uncaring when it comes to the subject of money. It is understandable because of the money chain we live under and with. One guy has to pay … (4 comments)

purchasing: PEOPLE STILL ASK THIS QUESTION
- 09/25/13 11:53 PM
Do you own your own home? This is asked as opposed to "do you rent". When the the person answers...I OWN, they swell with pride and accomplishment. Their whole demeanor changes. It lights up, has a confidence and a display of "I did it" aura to it. I'm somebody. Next time this comes up or you ask, watch this because people who own Real Estate are very happy to do so
HQ
Why is that? Can it be a statement of accomplishment? I came, I saw and I purchased? I own therefore I am? Or, can it be the realization of … (28 comments)

purchasing: THE SECRET TO REAL ESTATE...
- 08/13/13 02:44 AM
It is such an inviting subject and very much a part of our lives. Who doesn't at some point or another dream of wanting to enter in this field either to do business or help others do it. It is a mainstay part of the United States and its foundation. To be able to purchase a piece of a part of a country is an amazing concept. Many other countries invest trillions in this one and that is no secret
YOU'RE IN IT NOW
The only thing you really need to know is that you will enter into Real Estate whether … (6 comments)

purchasing: REAL ESTATE FIELDS FOR EVERYONE
- 04/21/12 03:04 AM
Be found at work or at play in the fields of Real Estate. WHY? Because as you travel through life, you will always need a place to lay ones head. Furthermore, you may want to establish a quality of life for your self or others. Real Estate does that. We spent the last several years showing what it doesn't do, but it does do what it was intended to do
IT PAYS FOR ITSELF
With anything of REAL value, it appreciates or at the very least holds its value with time. Wine, cheese, jewelry, antiques, and land with location dynamics matures and realizes into … (7 comments)

purchasing: WHY EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT REAL ESTATE
- 04/16/12 07:07 AM
We all know that people have opinions and like to be outspoken about them. We are influenced to speak up based on our expertise, current events or someones inquiry. Stop and consider that there isn't a day gone by where Real Estate has not been in the news either directly or indirectly for the last 5 years. For all the exposure this subject has received, it would equate to billions of dollars of marketing expense if paid for
OH I KNOW ABOUT REAL ESTATE
That's why wherever you go you will run into people ready and willing and most able to … (3 comments)

purchasing: TRASH TELLS THE STORY MANY TIMES
- 02/13/12 03:50 AM
Your trash is speaking and says different things to different people. There are some pictures below to illustrate the point. Long before there were shredders, people just threw things away with out a second thought. Some of that stuff came back to haunt them depending if there were shenanigans afoot.
BOOKIES BURNED IT
Bookies used to have a trash can and lighter fluid handy. As soon a the door is busted down or the alarm sounds, papers go flying into the can, doused with fluid and poof...no evidence.
RECYCLED $$$
Trash can be treasure too. They pay for recycled items and … (2 comments)

purchasing: WHY BUSINESS SHOULD BE BOOMING FOR REAL ESTATE AGENTS
- 08/04/11 04:29 AM
Housing has gotten more press in the last few years than any subject around. It is scheduled to receive even more coverage. If you had to spend money $$$ to market what the media has been saying all this time, it would be in the multi-billions. If you spent that type of money on anything, it would be on everyone's mind and radar. IT IS
I'VE GOT HOUSING ON MY MIND
Wherever an agent goes, there is someone where they are that is thinking about this subject. YES, it is true. They either want to buy a home, sell a home, … (0 comments)

purchasing: SALES FOR EVERYTHING...EVERYWHERE....BUT WHO IS BUYING ALL THIS?
- 07/28/11 02:41 AM
There is a reality slowly creeping its way into the mainstream that is shining a strong light on the fact that no matter how cheap something is, people may not be able (or want to) spend the little money they have on that item. Already restaurants are feeling heavy losses from people not eating out. Up to 50% off sales don't tell you how to come up with the other 50% either.
CREDIT PURCHASES ON THE STEADY DECLINE
That other 50% in the past was financed commonly called credit purchasing. You could walk-out of a store with any item just by … (4 comments)
