Ask Karl Jobst About Real Estate

Posted by on September 24, 2015 in Land, Land For Sale, Real Estate

Out of hate of the testing the environment for land interests in the previous half a decade, I write it down as being true that, among most dental specialists, land is still the favored speculation. Truth be told, my casual surveying demonstrates that for most dental practitioners’ venture portfolios, the estimation of land speaks to more or less 66% of the aggregate value of real estate.

If you ask Karl Jobst, dentists love real estate. Why? Generally, dental specialists are exceptionally close and nearby. They don’t have a self-absorbed outlook of life and they are seriously faithful to their groups and other communities. Their career is devoted to the mouth which is the most delicate part of the human body. Why is that important? Their land ventures give direct non investment advantages to persevering dental practitioners and their families no matter if through office structures or second homes. These advantages need to be possessive and give genuine worth in many dental specialists’ thoughts.

Luigi Wewege Says When Preparing to Buy a Home, Think Like a Seller

Posted by on June 5, 2015 in Real Estate

Luigi Wewege Think Like A SellerReal estate professionals know how to do their job well, and part of their job is to ensure that the best aspects of a home are emphasized while the least attractive aspects are minimized. Realtors know to add a few cheap landscaping touches to add perceived value and understand that leaving cleaning products out will remind a prospective homebuyer that a home requires upkeep. In order to avoid being lulled into a fall sense of security as a homebuyer, it is in your best interest to consider the perspective of the seller and the real estate agent so you can make an informed decision based on the totality of facts available.

This is not the easiest mindset to adopt, according to Luigi Wewege. With a little advance preparation, however, you can create a significant advantage for yourself as you seek to buy a home. Among the many recommendations made, Wewege notes that recognizing the small flourishes made by realtors to enhance the perceived value is among the most important. If you are able to think about real estate value in terms of the total costs and total savings, you may find it easier to recognize the home that truly represents the better option.

Real estate agents are not trying to deceive homebuyers, but they are trying to influence their decision by emphasizing certain qualities over others. Recognizing these strategies when buying a home can ensure that you find the property that is best suited to your specific needs.

Land Deal

Posted by on May 23, 2015 in fixer, Land, Land For Sale, Real Estate

untitled (274) untitled (273)Is that land deal really the deal that you planned on?  After all, some sold it for , I would assume, a profit.  What did they know that you didn’t?   Hopefully you have an idea on how to make money on this land.  Did you plan on a business to buy you out.  Did you have an idea that a mall might be in the lands future?  This kind of insider information would be a huge advantage and money can be made.  Dove Medical Press can help with that information but not before the competition does. Sometimes knowledge can be misleading.  Just be careful not to get into a deal that loses.

Short Sell?

Posted by on May 15, 2015 in Land, Land For Sale, News, Real Estate

untitled (15) untitled (14)Should you short sell your home?  That is a personal question.  It depends on your situation.  Did you over borrow and plan to resale for a profit? If so a short sale may be your only recourse.  If you just fell on hard times and your home I getting foreclosed I would work with the bank to keep the home.  If you have otherwise good credit then you may be able to refinance at a lower interest rate and lower the payment into something you can afford.  The best way to go is a personal decision and you need to know your options. Hope you can have a Home For Life.

Real Estate Agents Should Make More Efficient Use of Social Media for Marketing

Posted by on May 8, 2015 in Real Estate

The tricks of the trade in the real estate game are changing rapidly, and there are a number of new marketing elements that real estate agents should employ with greater frequency. There are very few real estate agents who are not using social media to increase awareness of their brand, but there is so much more that can be done beyond shining a light on your unique personality to convince homebuyers that they should view your properties.

While Facebook and Twitter are widely used in the real estate industry — with apologies for the all-too-obvious pun — it seems that Instagram has been somewhat surprisingly left out of the picture. This is a shame, as this particular application seems to have been designed for use in the real estate industry. What better way to show off a historic neighborhood than by using a specific filter through Instagram to harken back to those days gone by, or to emphasize the beams of sunlight that shine through a bay window?

Realtors who use Instagram in this way will appeal to the generation of Millenials who are finally starting to enter the housing market after years of claims that they would be renters forever. It is important to recognize that Instagram users who enter the housing market are sharp consumers who will do their homework, so it is important to be as honest in depicting your properties as you would be in providing the details of your most recent trip in Occidental Vacation Club reviews.

The key here is to use Instagram to emphasize the positives of each property and its neighborhood, not to use photography tricks to deceive buyers into viewing a property that is not nearly as appealing as its picture. Remember, this is social media, and any hint of deception will spread quickly.

In Real Estate, Branding Matters

Posted by on April 30, 2015 in Real Estate

When it comes to selling real estate, more and more agents are beginning to realize the value of cultivating a unique brand. In a crowded market that has seen an influx of newly certified agents, it is extremely valuable to be able to create a sense of separation from the rest of the field through brand awareness. This is not an easy proposition, but it is becoming a very necessary one.

There are a number of ways to begin creating a brand, says Mo Howard, West Virginia football player. The first step is for the agent to adopt some style element that makes them immediately recognizable. This could be as simple as a boldly colored tie or dress, or it could be something far more expressive than that. No matter what it is, Howard emphasizes that it is important to do something to create separation.

In expanding that brand awareness, agents should consider using a vehicle wrap or at least custom graphics so that they are easily recognizable wherever they go. As with all things in this day and age, a web presence is of vital importance, so active participation in social media and the maintenance of a blog can do wonders for an agent’s ability to earn in a crowded market.

Real Estate Market Is Quite Robust in Several Big Cities

Posted by on April 25, 2015 in Real Estate, San Francisco

Luigi Wewege with the Executive Editor of The Economist Dr Daniel FranklinSellers who are considering selling their home in the coming months will be pleased to learn that there is an incredibly robust real estate market out there for the taking. Homes have not been staying on the market for very long, and buyers are willing to pay exorbitant sums for properties they perceive as ideally suited to their needs.

A keen observer of the real estate industry, Luigi Wewege has seen significant upward trends in the real estate market, especially in some of the larger cities across the United States. According to Wewege, sellers who put their home on the market in the coming months are very likely to get a significant offer almost immediately and should expect to see some competition if the home can boast an in-demand location.

Wewege’s predictions have already come to fruition in places like San Francisco and Denver, two cities known for attracting diverse residents who enjoy the rich cultural milieu these cities have a reputation for cultivating. In fact, San Francisco has seen most of its available real estate routinely sell in the range of seven figures, while properties in the Denver area have only remained on the market for an average of six days.

Part of the reason for this, as Wewege has noted, is that there is a limit on the properties available. Property owners who choose to sell their homes during this time may find that they are able to get a significant return on their investment very quickly.

Best Bet Real Estate

Posted by on April 23, 2015 in Land, Land For Sale, Real Estate

Is income real estate a no brainer?  As I have previously shown the risk is that the income may not materialize.  Can you get a tenant before you go broke?  It depends on your tolerance for risk.  Yes, if you can afford to carry the load until a good tenant comes along it may be a good deal.  A rental can be problems if not managed properly.  Tenants can ruin you if not watched closely.  the real question is if you are the kind of person that makes a good land lord.  So be aware that nothing is a slam dunk when it comes to income property.

Miami Beach Real Estate Holds Widespread International Appeal

Posted by on April 15, 2015 in Beach, Real Estate

The real estate market in Miami has always been quite healthy, particularly in the South Beach area that so many visitors frequent while on vacation. Even during times when the rest of the market has struggled on a nationwide basis, Miami real estate has typically held its value or increased significantly independent of the status of the nationwide market.

Part of the reason for the health of this particular real estate market is its international appeal. Visitors from all over the world are drawn to Miami, and many visitors are so charmed by the South Florida city that they ultimately buy property in the area so they can live in Miami on a full-time or at least part-time basis.

According to a recent report, Miami real estate is most popular among natives of South American countries that include Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina. The culture of Miami and its exceptional climate are certainly among the many reasons why these international buyers remain so consistently interested in the real estate that is available in Miami, and in South Beach in particular. In fact, Venezuelans like Adam Kutner made up 16 percent of the international property purchases in 2014, while Venezuela accounted for 12 percent and Brazil contributed 11 percent.

2 Lifesaving Tips for Buying Property

Posted by on April 14, 2015 in Real Estate

After years of savings, do you have enough money to honor yourself finally with your very own home? Dimensional Construction, the real estate experts, have some up with these easy tips to avoid getting your money blown away.

  • Don`t Go Big, Just Go Home!

Not everyone is attracted to the biggest house in the block. Bigger doesn`t always mean better. The best houses on the block are not the biggest one. Instead, they are the worst ones. Never restrict potential buyers when you resell. For instance, if you pay $500 for something while others are passing by $350. You won`t be appreciated. The worse house always trades more per square than the big house.

  • Buy instead of Dating

Buying based on sentiments will break your bank (and your heart). Falling in love can lead to financial crises. Learn the difference between emotions and instincts. Recognize the property you are getting a good value. Going with your obsessions such as a big kitchen or a backyard pool can be taken care of later.
