Deed
Plotter (TM) for Windows, Software Review
Here's a software program that allows you to enter
the legal description of a piece of property. The
software analyzes the information, and draws the
tract. Handy? You bet it is.
Dealing
With a Low Appraisal
It's the call we all dread. The lender notifies
you that an appraisal came in for less than a home's
sales price. Closing is not far away, so everyone
panics. Is there anything you can do?
Understanding
Restrictive Covenants
Restrictions give a development a more standard
appearance, and control some of the activities that
take place within its boundaries. Buyers must be
given the opportunity to study covenants, to make
sure they can live with all of the provisions.
Prepping
Sellers for Showings
Giving sellers an early education in Buyers 101
helps prepare them for the realities of showing
a house. Once they understand why you ask them to
do certain things, they usually comply.
Going
to Work: Interviewing the Broker In Charge
Brokers-in-Charge are nearly always in the recruiting
mode. If they have desk space available, many will
take on anyone with a valid license and a desire
to work. But don't get in too much of a hurry, there
are many things to consider before accepting a position.
Advertising
"Red Flags"
Sometimes we get too enthusiastic with the descriptions
we use in ads, especially when we've got a great
house to describe. Considering a few 'red flags'
will help you avoid publishing a misleading ad--one
that could lead to liability problems after a closing.
Fair
Housing Issues for Real Estate Professionals
US real estate agents deal with Fair Housing issues
every day. Learn a few basic do's and don'ts about
advertising terminology, and how to avoid problems
when showing property.
How
To Calculate Real Estate Commissions
People who aren't familiar with the real estate
profession often assume that the entire commission
goes to one agent. If you've bought-in to that fantasy,
the information on these pages will help bring you
back to earth, and show you what you can really
expect to make from a transaction.
Getting
the Sale to Closing
It's surprising how many real estate agents feel
the most important part of their job is getting
a signed contract. Sure, it's important, but it's
just the beginning for any agent who plans to take
the Real Estate Profession seriously.
Seniors
Real Estate Specialist
Baby boomers are quickly growing into the largest
population of seniors we've seen in US history.
Did you know there's a program of real estate education
to help you tap-in to this growing senior population?
Better
Questions Equal Better Sales
How many times have you shown a buyer a series of
houses you thought matched his or her needs, then
ended up getting an offer on something entirely
different? If this is a common occurrence, it's
time to figure out why. |
