From the first time home Buyer to the seasoned Investor I have developed formulas for success. As an independent contractor my business replies upon repeat business and referrals. Finding and relaying this information in a timely and understandable manner is what I rely upon to build lasting relationships.
New home construction is one of the best ways to build instant equity into a home. Making all of the decisions before signing a contract is the key to succeeding in this field. There is no detail too small to overlook. Opening and defining lines of communication are important aspects to guaranteeing success and a smooth building process.
Knowledge is the key to investing. Investors can be demanding. Knowing how to gather this information is an important part of my

job. I am surprised at the amount to investment properties on the market that do not have important information on hand at the time of a showing. The interest the Investor has in a property soon dwindles if they do not have the facts and figures down in writing when they are considering a purchase.
Classes for first time home Buyers is an important aspect of beginning the home buying process. First time Buyers generally are brimming with questions. A simple informal one hour meeting will answer most of those questions and give the Buyer the qualifications and confidence to ask the questions that may save them money and headaches further down the process. Having this information ready in an easy to understand package is pivotal in establishing a business relationship.
Foreclosures are not what they used to be. A few years ago the only people interested in foreclosures were bargain hunters and seasoned professionals. At the present time there is such a large number of foreclosures everyone has the opportunity to find the diamond in the rough. Having the experience of dealing with foreclosures can save the Buyer money. With a Buyer Agency Agreement my license agreement allows me to discuss price negotiations and share my knowledge of dealing with foreclosures throughout the house hunting process.
I have developed a number of web pages that supply information and links to help Buyers and Sellers navigate the purchase and sale of all types of Real Estate. My years of experience in engineering have given me the drive to always look at situations from a number of different aspects. Always have a plan B is my motto. This has been especially useful in the art of negotiations.
Some of the pages I have developed use a unique collection of simple pull down windows that allow a Buyer to choose the details

they require in a home. A Buyer can quickly answer the questions that will give me a detailed view of exactly what they are looking for. With that information I can quickly arrange a search within the MLS and E-mail them the results. From there I can also set up automatic updates that can be sent to the Buyer on a daily or weekly basis. Buyers can get the most up to date information on new listings and price changes for the properties that most interest them. Basically that gives them the advantage of being the first to view new listings or the first to take advantage of price reductions.
When dealing with Listings I like to use a lot of pictures. What interests you when searching for a property? Have you ever walked into a house only to be disappointed by what it actually looks like? Most homes have outstanding features that are not properly marketed. The description is another important feature of a Listing. I often see Listings with so many abbreviations I am not sure what they are attempting to describe. I think this distracts from the interest of the property. I write and rewrite my descriptions many times until I am satisfied. That is one of the many things I am being paid to do when marketing a property.
Internet targeting is another important strategy. Companies invest millions in being the first to bring you these Listings. Many of these companies specialize on one or two types of properties. Finding, joining and updating Listings on these sites is the wave of TODAY. Printed advertising is a dinosaur. Learning to make the Internet work for the Buyer and Seller is what a good agent needs to do to keep up with the competition. Developing new skills to utilize this avenue of advertising is what an excellent agent does to stay ahead.
