5 Things I’m Grateful For As A Real Estate Agent

2010-11-24T21:16:00Z

My friend Eric Pointer, from theRockStarAgent.com, posted the article below. I agree with it wholeheartedly. Please enjoy.

#1. I’m Still Here.
The market meltdown has dramatically reduced the number of people in our profession. And I thank God that he has guided my steps and allowed me to thrive not just survive. I have incredible respect for all the agents that are left. If you’re still here – you should be thankful and PROUD.

#2. My Knowledge Is Needed Now More Than Ever.
With the market change, buyers and sellers need our help now more than ever. Most still don’t know what or how Short Sales, Foreclosures, Deficiency Judgments, REO purchases, BPOs, etc. work. I’m grateful that I get calls for advice in all these areas.

#3. The Internet Has NOT replaced me.
Contrary to popular belief, the internet hasn’t replaced the agent. According to the most recent NAR statistics – it’s true 74% of buyers use the internet to find a home. But, the stats also show that 69% of them also say they used an agent to find a home. So I don’t fear the internet – I harness it. Instead of replacing me, it just makes business and property searches for my buyers easier.

#4. Mortgage Rates Are LOW.
Besides making home ownership super affordable, buyers will be jumping over each other now at the slightest hint of rate increases. The talking heads and media headlines that hint at ‘impending rate increases’ will keep our pipeline full of buyers that are worried they’ll miss the boat.

#5. The Foundation Is Being Repaired.
Let’s face it. Things got out of control: Artificial inflated prices, shady lending practices, everybody with a pulse getting loans (and real estate licenses), etc. – this is not the stuff a stable and viable housing market is built on. Though we may not be done with the carnage, the housing market’s foundation is being stabilized. And my business’ future with it.

11 GREAT REASONS TO BUY A HOME NOW!

2009-03-28T00:02:00Z

11 GREAT REASONS TO BUY A HOME NOW!

1. $8,000 TAX CREDIT – Uncle Sam is giving $8,000 tax credit to all first time home buyers. All you need is 3.5% down that can be gifted to you by a relative. [Disclaimer: I am NOT providing tax advice. Please check with your accountant. Call me if you would like a referral to one.]

2. Quality of life – a home provides stability and security for you and your loved ones.

3. Pride of home ownership – it's your personal haven.

4. Historically low interest rates – around 5.5 percent

5. Appreciation potential – your home investment can grow in value.

6. Equity buildup and debt pay down – homeowners enjoy an average net worth of approximately $184,000 versus $4,000 for renters.

7. Leverage – where else can you buy an investment of this magnitude with 5-10 percent down?

8. Tax deduction advantages – property tax and mortgage interest write-offs.

9. Tax exemption – up to $500,000 per couple or $250,000 per person upon the sale of a primary residence in the United States.

10. The real cost of renting – at $800 per month, with the average 6 percent rental increase per year, you will pay $126,536 over a 10-year period but have zero ownership of the property.
