All you need to do is take a three-day class and sit for a state exam. <b>Because the barrier of entry into the business is so low, everybody knows someone around here who has a real estate license. </b>Maybe it’s a friend, a family member, or a neighbor. This might be the first person you think of when it comes to real estate and you might be ready to hire them on the spot, but you shouldn’t. For most of us, our home is our biggest financial investment. You want to be sure you’re putting that asset in the right hands before you hire somebody to do the job. I’ve worked with expired listings a lot and one of the common threads I’ve seen is the fact that most of these people hired an agent who was a friend or family member and didn’t interview anybody else.</span></span><br /><ul><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="quote-box"><div class="quote-text"><span style="font-size: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You should interview at least three different agents for the job. </span></span></div></div><br /></ul><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the end of the day, selling your home is a business transaction. If someone isn’t owning up to their responsibility as an agent, you shouldn't hesitate to fire them. <b>If it’s a good friend or family member that you hire, the hesitation will definitely be there. </b></span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That’s why I think you need to interview at least three different agents for the job of selling your home before you hire one. Interview that friend or family member you know, but also interview somebody who has a proven track record and great reviews online. It will make your ultimate decision a lot easier.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>I’d love to interview for the job of helping you buy or sell a home.</b> If you have any questions for me or want to know how I can help you achieve your real estate goals, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email.

I’ve read articles like this in the past, but this article was a little different. <b>Inflation is firming because employers are under pressure to increase their wages.</b> What does that mean if you plan on purchasing a property? Rates have been hovering below 4%, but today they are up a little, at 4.04% for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage.

Today I am joined by Jay Kinder, one of the co-founders of the NAEA, to talk about his background, his role in the NAEA, and how that ties in with eXp Realty. Jay is a lifelong agent who has been in the business for 20 years since his father introduced him to it through his ownership of Coldwell Banker. In his career, Jay has racked up a number of achievements, such as: • In his peak year, he sold 531 homes. • He has sold over 4,000 homes in total. • He was named the No. 2 agent in the world by Coldwell Banker in 2007. Jay has since channeled his experience and expertise into training real estate agents on how to build a successful business. One of the challenges that he faced in building his own business was its sustainability, especially in terms of developing a working team model and maintaining its profitability. Throughout the past 10 years, Jay has worked towards expanding his partnerships across the country, asking the question, “How can we all put our fires together to make one big fire?” In other words, how can we all work together to create one great company? Until he joined with eXp Realty, he hadn’t found a platform to do that. Before joining, he had heard of eXp, but wasn’t really sure of what it was, so he discounted it. It wasn’t until someone had him watch one of their webinars that he took a closer look. <b>He found that eXp provided the platform to develop a stronger team and a stronger business.</b> Though he’s only been with eXp for about two and a half months, Jay has already had the most fun he’s ever had in his real estate career. The Freda Team is also excited to join the movement. We’ve been an independent brokerage for 13 years and have been approached by different models and companies. It wasn’t until Jay Kinder announced via Facebook Live that he was making the change that I saw what I couldn’t unsee. After seeing the <a href="http://info.naea.com/exp-realty-webinar-with-jay-kinder?who_referred_you_to_this_webinar_=30954916" target="_blank">webinar</a> and looking at the model eXp provided, I realized that <b>it solves a lot of the problems we’ve experienced over the years in terms of growing or retracting a team.</b> It took me a couple months to make the jump, and now I’m just upset that I didn’t do it sooner. </span></span><br /><ul><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="quote-box"><div class="quote-text"><span style="font-size: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once you come to understand the eXp model, you’ll realize that it’s simply better. </span></span></div></div><br /></ul><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now that we’ve made the switch, we can’t wait to show more people the agent-centric model, technology, and training eXp provides. In addition, partnering up with the NAEA and having the experience of people like Jay Kinder in our network to promote the growth of new agents is very exciting.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>There are many reasons to make the jump to eXp Realty.</b> There are many amazing components to their business model, they’re publicly traded, they offer revenue sharing, and there is so much room for growth and opportunity. There may be only 7,000 or so agents in the network at the moment, but since they’re already adding 250 agents per week, I truly believe that it will one day become the biggest real estate company in the world.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Though you may feel satisfied with your independent brokerage now, <b>once you come to understand the eXp model, you’ll realize that it’s simply better.</b> Why try to reinvent the wheel? With the new technology that’s available, we can take our services to a higher level and network not only with people in our area but throughout the country.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We all get value from helping agents grow their business, but many agents at independent brokerages don’t have viable retirement strategies. <b>The agent ownership and the stock program that eXp has available could make you very wealthy</b> and set you up for a very comfortable retirement plan.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Real estate agents are entrepreneurs. When you take the opportunities provided by eXp and add them to your own business model, where you can get passive income simply for informing people about the benefits they stand to gain when they work with eXp, it disrupts the traditional sense of recruiting. I have the financial incentive to ensure that you and your team are successful. When you factor in all of the great teams that are joining the network, we are all aligned with each other to promote growth.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>With all of us working together, anything is possible.</b> I can’t overstate how much I would recommend that anyone who is in search of a better model for their team to invest 60 or so minutes of their time to watching the eXp Realty <a href="http://info.naea.com/exp-realty-webinar-with-jay-kinder?who_referred_you_to_this_webinar_=30954916" target="_blank">webinar.</a></span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have any questions about what you can gain from working with eXp, feel free to reach out.

They continually sent me MLS listings even though I had not yet chosen them as a realtor. They were really sweet about giving me information. So, when it finally became time for me to buy my condo Matt sat down with me and explained everything and what would happen and there wasn’t high pressure. Then I went ahead and asked them to be my realtor and I got Tara and I loved the whole experience. They were great! Anytime I wanted to see a place my real estate agent made sure that I saw it as fast as possible. At the time I was looking for condos. They were going really, really fast, like I would get there and I would put in an offer and then all of a sudden it would be gone.

Now that we know who is going to be president, the money has shifted back from the bond market into the stock market. This is one of the reasons why we’ve seen the stock market jump over 19,000 points.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The bond market has a direct correlation to mortgage interest rates. As the money came out of the bond market, we saw mortgage rates increase by the biggest amount we’ve seen in two years. <b>For you buyers who’ve been waiting, now’s the time to enter the marketplace because rates are projected to go higher in 2017.</b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div class="quote-box"><span class="quote quote-left">“</span><br /><div class="quote-text">Whether you’re a buyer or seller, now’s the time to make your move. </div><br /><span class="quote quote-right">”</span> </div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">How do mortgage rates affect your monthly mortgage payment? For every quarter point that they go up, your mortgage payment goes up by $30. As rates increase, downward pressure is put on affordability. This means that <b>sellers are facing the same situation in that the best time to put their home on the market is now</b> before rates increase and there will be fewer buyers out there who can afford to buy their property for what they want to sell it for. Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, if you’re interested in making your move in the market now, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’d be happy to help!</span></span></span></div>Vyral Adminhttps://plus.google.com/102655852245846095720noreply@blogger.com0Orlando, FL, USA28.5383355 -81.3792364999999928.0917165 -82.0246835 28.984954499999997 -80.733789499999986tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547626487451168026.post-23389430189637631462016-12-09T08:20:00.000-08:002016-12-12T09:34:22.440-08:00We’d Love for You to Join Us at HUD Training<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AJFmKqmSRSs" width="480"></iframe><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We'd love for you to join us at our upcoming HUD training event.

This is great because it means that distressed sales (short sales and bank-owned sales) only encompass 10% of the market.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Similarly, the fact that inventory is down to 3.35 months is another good statistic. This means that if no other properties came onto the market, it would take us just 3.35 months to sell every home currently on the market, so inventory is very limited. We need properties to sell, so </span><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">if you've been on the fence about taking advantage of these great market conditions for sellers, now might be a better time than ever.</b><br /><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><br /></b></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div class="quote-box"><span class="quote quote-left">“</span><br /><div class="quote-text">Things are great for both buyers and sellers.</div></div><br /><span class="quote quote-right">”</span> <br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Things are good for buyers, too.</span><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Mortgage rates are still at historic lows at 3.5%. </b><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you're also on the fence about buying a home, know that interest rates are projected to go up soon, so you want to lock in those low interest rates now while you can.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">As you can see, the state of our market is strong right now.
