qualifications: RENTING WANTING THE PLACE but DOES IT WANT YOU?
- 05/30/18 10:30 AM
Those that are looking to purchase a home know by now or should know or have an agent that knows that the buyers must be pre-approved for a loan and a certain amount too. Then, buyers shop within that scope and with confidence explore and investigate all potential opportunities. When a seller or their agent inquires...
BUYER STANDS READY
The buyer's mantra which is coming out of their pores as well as their conduct says "we are ready, willing and able" to perform and would like to contract with the intent to purchase. It is as simple as I have said yet a segment … (8 comments)

qualifications: CAN YOU PERFORM? (real estate theme)
- 12/26/16 08:44 AM
It is still not settled even in today's climate of buying and selling this title post question of mine. I still get inquires from buyer agents and principals who just haven't tamed or answered this vital question. The right answer makes you a player and the lack of one a dreamer and a waster of time
ARE YOU QUALIFIED
I ran into an agent or two the other day that when I asked if their buyer was qualified, they hesitated and stuttered. Without answering they answered. The whole conversation went another way after that. I have had principals and even investors come my … (5 comments)

qualifications: TOOT-TOOTING YOUR OWN HORN
- 11/30/16 07:34 AM
There are people who do this and get criticized for it. Then, there are people who don't do this and suffer from it. What is the middle ground here? How does one say or promote what they do and at the same time keep the "I" do this and "I" do that from becoming a boast? The art of marketing should be consulted with
I'M THE ONE!
You can make yourself known without having a call to action. For example: the statement..."Your neighborhood Realtor" doesn't sell it tells. Plumbing specialist does it too. Yet there are professionals or experts out there that believe … (18 comments)

qualifications: LENDER POWER
- 09/29/16 12:09 AM
Any serious buyer with a professional agent knows that in today's world of Real Estate, if you want to be taken seriously by a seller and their agent, there are certain prerequisites necessary to send a credible message that simply says "I'm, a serious buyer". One of those important items is the ability to borrow the money for a property purchase
BUYER REAL ESTATE 101
At some point, a buyers agent will direct their client to or through a lender and follow the lenders prompts and requests until they can get a commitment from a credible source that a loan can be made subject to real … (6 comments)

qualifications: NO YOU CANNOT SEE INSIDE
- 02/08/16 10:46 PM
This comes up often. A place comes up for sale. Naturally, people want to see it if they are interested. I get it. However, the seller didn't list or advertise the place for fun but for a purpose. A sale is the end game and the focus to produce that sale has to do with qualifications. It was never anything else. Now, here is where it gets dicey
I WANT TO SEE THE PLACE
People with money, and that includes the ones who are cleared to purchase, have a pride about them that makes them believe that no rules apply. They want to have their way especially … (9 comments)

qualifications: MEET SELLING CRITERIA PURCHASE WILL FOLLOW
- 01/16/16 11:48 PM
I have always felt, and have experimented with, that the one who is selling something, anything has the responsibility to market, respond and promote the item in a professional, distinct way closer to transparency than mystique. A buyer and a seller to be... want to meet, discuss and eventually do business. Both have to set that up before hand
LET US BEGIN
When I list a property for sale, I know everything about it that a purchaser to be would want to know (within reason and disclosure mind you). I can speak well of the neighborhood, schools, shopping, freeway and neighbors as well as the deal … (4 comments)

qualifications: SELLERS WHO USE RAN RIGHT REALTY
- 11/03/15 11:05 PM
On all our residential Real Estate listings, we let it be known from the MLS stage forward that dialog about the subject property is highly recommended BEFORE any offer is made. Why? Unknown to anyone but soon to be disclosed is exactly what my seller, owner or principal wants to see happen. Failing this main parameter causes everyone to waste precious time
WE ARE READY
My clients and I are quite clear on what we want to see happen and when. We are open to discussion but only within our scope of representation. Disclosures are standing by, pricing has been well researched and thought … (4 comments)

qualifications: LETS TALK HOUSE
- 07/17/14 07:05 AM
I had an old friend call me and say they want to look at homes in a certain area and they wanted me to spend time and effort in helping them and they were sincere about it. So they started asking me questions about certain areas and pricing and best place to buy etc
CHOOSE THE TIMING
I wanted to get to the point right away, but I also had to establish some team rapport, let them have their space and sort of lead up to the critical core issues that have to be addressed. After some brief Q & A which upped the excitement … (6 comments)

qualifications: TALKING TURKEY AND NOT ON THANKSGIVING EITHER
- 05/09/14 12:56 AM
I am working on a potential complicated Real Estate deal that involves a lot of key moves that require action plays which call for multiple action players. Its for big money and involves a degree of personal dynamics as well. I am being purposely vague but my point is...Can we all handle this?
DOING THE UPFRONT WORK
We call a meeting where the three main players are going to be involved. We don't know much about each other and how this deal will materialize. However, we have to decide rather quickly if we are all capable of maneuvering this type of Real Estate deal to … (4 comments)

qualifications: WILLING BUT NOT READY AND ABLE
- 04/03/14 12:38 AM
This is a common occurrence in Real Estate specifically the buying and renting arenas. When buying, it is wise to see if you can buy and for how much. If successful, then there are your parameters or your realities. If not, then you know where you stand and what to do next about the buying process
RENT AS YOU GO?
On renting, people just inquire and learn as they go picking up the necessary data to comply. WHY? People don't move around a lot so it is not a subject they necessarily prepare well for in advance. After a few inquiry calls, you figure … (6 comments)

qualifications: WHY THEY DONT ADMINISTER THIS TYPE OF TESTING
- 03/14/14 12:47 AM
We all know about blood tests and how you can explore several goings on in the body via the blood. The testing of the urine has long been used to see if someone is pregnant or on drugs. However there is a little known testing procedure that is not used that is more effective in discovering everything
THIS ONE TELLS ALL
The testing of the hair or a hair follicle. This was introduced to me many years ago by a man who was savvy in this subject matter. He explained it so well that I was able to take it in and it made sense too.
THE DYNAMICS

qualifications: GETTING TO THE POINT FOR EVERYONES SAKE
- 12/28/13 10:53 PM
How do you know if someone is wasting your time or not what they appear to be? Often we Q & A and try to pre-qualify the call to see its validity, potential or strength as being represented. In Real Estate, that is what you do.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF MARKETING MENTALITIES
Be aware however that there are different market segments and buyers out there. Many like to consider their options while shopping and reviewing. Others like to gather information and have to start somewhere. Some like to get comfortable with the subject matter before they get serious too. My current business plan doesn't allow for any … (4 comments)

qualifications: TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY IS NOT THE QUESTION
- 09/11/13 12:05 AM
It is more like WHEN to buy. When I used to buy homes or anything for that matter, the decision to buy was made far in advance of me going to do it....Then, it was a question of when and where or what..not whether. I am that type of consumer. I love to research and read and with the Internet, it has become safer and easier to do
INVESTIGATE
General investigation about any product will reveal the must knows and the "watch fors" and then you can inquire from there. Take purchasing a car. The Kelly Blue Book or Edmund's sites … (7 comments)

qualifications: RECORDS KEPT ON PEOPLE FOR LIFE
- 08/17/13 12:35 AM
When I was in college a few short years ago, I did a paper on the subject matter of the post. I found at that time that nearly 2/3 of the people who live in the United States had a record of some sort. Driving record, credit record and criminal records included. Some of those records are with you for life and the people who carry that burden suffer silently and live life in the shadows as a rule. Many came up to me in class "marked" wanting help

qualifications: WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME?
- 07/23/13 11:29 PM
This is the second time that a potential tenant who I spent time and attention on doing paperwork, answering questions and making appointments held out vital information relevant to the renting of a property. In one instance it was a bankruptcy and in another, a very poor credit rating that could have never passed a credit check...QUESTION: When were you going to tell me?
I KNOW YOU WANT TO SEE IT
Furthermore, when a potential renter calls a landlord or manager, be prepared to introduce yourself quickly and get your issues or qualifications up front and out in the open first. … (47 comments)

qualifications: CHALLENGING TIMES FOR RENTALS
- 12/08/12 11:37 PM
As a result of all the foreclosures in today's marketplace, the rental market has picked up to a degree. WHY? People have to have a place to stay whether they own or not. Between the unemployment dynamic and the housing defaults, it is making the renting of a property to a prospective tenant more challenging for all concerned
SCREENING and APPLICATION PROCESS
FIVE YEARS AGO.....1 IN 20 APPLICANTS WERE NECESSARY TO FIND A GOOD MATCH. Employment was better. The housing industry was not its default peak, and business was below normal but operational in the rental arenas. NOW....1 IN 60 APPLICANTS ARE NECESSARY … (6 comments)

qualifications: I DO NOT DO HIGHEST BIDDER SHORT SALES YOU QUALIFY YOU BUY
- 11/29/11 09:56 AM
I don't like playing high bid gets it. It bothers me a little bit playing people against each other. What if they all qualify too? Then what do you do? I did one where 4 people wanted the place all ready, willing, and able. I found it hard to tell all but one..Sorry, you didn't get it. My instructions are to get the first one in that can perform, verify it, get bank approval and then close right away
PRICING SETS THE WHOLE STAGE
I price things to close whether it be a short sale or regular sale. Good pricing attracts … (2 comments)
