Real Estate Agent Mastermind Group

Increase your business through the power of group interaction and consiousness

Mastermind groups have been well documented to help increase your awareness of the power of multiple people meeting in a peaceful environment, with the common goal of helping each other attain their goals and dreams without any ulterior motives.

This is accomplished through a documented, systematic system of empowerment; not through "let's get together and say how great we are" semantics.

This is not an in-your-face experience, but rather a supportive group that meets on a regular (to be determined by group) basis for the mutual benefit of all participants.

It's been a number of years since I have been involved in one, so if you are interested, I'm going to have to do some research into the system. Maybe someone else out there is more familiar and up-to-date. If so, please step forward and lead.

Mortgage Servicers Are Under Pressure to Modify More Loans

This Wall Street Journal article illustrates how focused everyone is on the lender -- With little more than a glance given to distressed homeowners.

Former Countrywide Execs To Profit From REO Markets

Does anyone else find this ridiculous?

Former CW senior executives are now heading up a company with Fannie and Freddie REO contracts - Even though they have ZERO real estate selling experience.

(Is that why they are just now getting their real estate licensing in order...?)

They make Multi-Millions in salaries and bonuses at CW - Which certainly had a major hand in creating this real estate bubble - Only to turn around and profit again from the REO market.

HVCC - ONLINE PETITION TO VOICE YOUR OPINION

In just weeks - Over 16,000 agents have spoken out and signed an online petition asking for the recall of the HVCC legislation.

HVCC legislation requires a third party to control the appriasal process. It was designed to eliminate "influence" from lenders and real estate agents who might pressure for a higher value.

Since this legislation was designed by politicians and not actual business people - It causes undue stress and frustration for home buyers and refinance candidates - While not solving any of the issues mentioned.  more...

TREATING REAL ESTATE LIKE FAMILY--WITH RESPECT

I had a meeting with a potential seller who instructed me, “Julie, give me the advice that you would give you brother-in-law about marketing his residence.” His suggestion was a very interesting approach and it effectively enabled us to communicate very honestly and directly with one another (even though I do not have a brother-in-law)!

This gentleman made me aware that I do become involved in my buyers’ and sellers’ requirements as if they were family, despite the fact that, really, I am just one of the highest paid guests in their residence—or soon to be residence.  more...

FORT LAUDERDALE: THE LEAN, GREEN SUNSHINE MACHINE

A previous blog of mine cited the U.S. Department of Energy in saying that Floridians spend about 20% less per person on energy than any other state in the country. One reader wondered why.

I offered an immediate response, but the question got me thinking. Why is Florida so energy conscious? I conducted some research on my sunny city of Fort Lauderdale and found the simple answer in the local Sunday paper: People actually care.
There was an entire section dedicated to actively going Green in our city. Here are a few points I found.  more...

SEO and the Internet future for Real Estate

In speaking with many of my fellow Realtors, I am amazed how many of them have a website yet never receive a lead or phone call from that website. It's the whole "if a tree falls in the forest" thing. If you have a website and nobody ever visits it, does it really exist? The answer is probably NO because they are visiting your competitors website instead. These figures have recently come out and it speaks volumes as to the future of Real Estate and the internet.  more...

THE NEW FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH - WISH YOU WERE HERE!

The National Association of Realtors reported a 30% decrease in the sale of second homes in 2008. In contrast, analysts predict long-term demand for investment and vacation residences remains favorable because of those buyers in their prime years looking for a retirement home. This may be especially the case as buyers witness the retraction in their stock portfolios and return to good old bricks and mortar in the sun!  more...

What is the State of the Market in Seattle?

What is the state of the market? I hear on the radio and read in the newspaper that housing prices are continuing to go down in price. I read that people are being laid off from their jobs. How much farther will prices fall? The stock market is off, with the DOW average being more the 50% off from the high. Housing prices in Seattle area are down 16%. Some people fear that houses will be 50% off from the peak, so why not wait until that $500,000 house is $250,000? Can it happen? The stock market went down by that much, so why can’t the housing prices go down that much.  more...

DO UNUSUAL TIMES CALL FOR EXTRAORDINARY ENERGY?

Absolutely. A potential seller I met with last week commented, “I want a broker who is going to bring energy to marketing my house and not just collect another listing.”

This struck me as profoundly thought-provoking, especially in light of the President’s recent speech. Bringing a high level of personal energy to business is challenging at the moment, especially since every American must draw on personal, extraordinary energy to help rebuild their corner of America.  more...

LIFE, CONFIDENCE AND THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

My London colleague, Nick Churton, with Mayfair International, has posted another optimistic discussion on his blog, London Calling. With permission, I have re-blogged it here for your enjoyment.

LIFE, CONFIDENCE AND THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

The start of this fresh year is a good time to reflect on the turbulent months behind us in the real estate market, and to look ahead. It is surprising how similar the US real estate market is to that of many European countries right now. But perhaps this year we ought to think twice about trying to second-guess the future.  more...

Happy NEw Year 2009 - OOPS guess this is where I should have started this discussion.

Good morning all and Happy New Year.

Well I for one would like to hear about your individual markets. Maybe this is a good forum to discuss what is happening in your markets.

In the Austin, TX MKT we saw a slow down in activity in Dec but there seems to be a noticeable difference in the last week in buyer activity and interest in most price ranges. We have enjoyed a healthy job market here but there is evidence that we are starting to see a slow down in that vital area so I am sure there is a direct correlation.  more...

FLORIDA HOMES SALES GOOD NEWS FOR YEAR END

As 2008 comes to a close, the Florida Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales in Florida rose for the third month in a row in November. Fort Lauderdale enjoyed a 26 percent increase over the number of homes sold during November of 2007. Mind you, the median home sales price fell 34 percent, but home sales did continue to rise. Fort Lauderdale’s condo sales for November 2008 grew 3 percent from sales in 2007. Again, prices dipped 30 percent, but sales did rise.  more...

An article in November’s Realtor magazine says sellers experiencing long periods between listing and selling their properties are hiring Feng Shui practitioners to use the ancient Chinese technique to dissipate the negativity of financial woes by realigning the “chi”, or energy, of the property.

And, guess what? The article says it’s working.  more...

HOME FORECLOSURES AND AMERICAN INTEGRITY

After watching a disturbing video on Inman on home foreclosures in Southern California, I became acutely aware of how much Americans caught up in the net of losing their homes to the volcanic mortgage situation lost something more precious than their homes: They lost their integrity.

The video showed abandoned, completely furnished homes being “trashed out” by a company hired by the banks to empty the property to be ready for sale. Brown lawns are being spray painted green to improve curb appeal for marketing. What are these people thinking?  more...
