The Dirty Little Secret About Real Estate 800 Call Capture Systems

Writen by Brandi Cummings

Real estate 800 call capture systems are a great tool for real estate agents. The dirty little secretit probably won’t work for you. The majority of real estate agents that get an 800 call capture system don’t use it correctly and then when the phone doesn’t ring, they blame the technology. The technology isn’t the problem, the application of it is. Most service providers don’t educate their users enough about how to get the most out of their systems. Here are just 2 of the ways you can make real estate 800 call capture technology work for you.

Lead Generation
Use your real estate 800 call capture number in all of your advertising business cards flyers faxes direct mail pieces advertising. Anywhere you provide your contact information, you should provide your 800 number. Why? Each time someone calls your 800 number you’ve captured a lead. Your call capture system captures the phone number even if the number is blocked or the caller doesn’t leave a message. You can also capture the name and address in most cases. Real estate 800 call capture systems provide you with unique extensions that can be loaded with a recording of your choice as well as a document that your callers can request to have faxed to them. Load a recording and fax back document about each of your listings. Then advertise on your sign rider, “Call for free, 24/7, recorded information 800 888 8888 ext. 100.” This gives your buyers the ability to call your toll free number 24/7, at their convenience, for information on your listings. Remember, each time a prospect calls your 800 number for information, you’ve captured their phone number and possibly their name and address. You can also position yourself in the market as an information provider. Place a small ad in your local paper or perhaps send a post card out that offers free (no cost) 24/7 (convenience) recorded information (no sales person to talk to). Each time someone calls in to request the free information, you’ve captured a lead.

Listing Tool
Demonstrate the technology right in front of your seller’s eyes. Before going to the listing presentation, record the information about their home in one of your 800 call capture system extensions and load a listing flyer or floor plan of their home. During the presentation tell Mr. and Mrs. Seller that you are able to offer them something that most other agents can’t offer their sellers. Let them know that you are going to offer free 24/7 recorded information on their home. Have Mr. and Mrs. Seller call your 800 call capture system along with the extension for their home. They will be impressed with the recorded information and the ability to have a fax with even more information automatically sent to them. Give them confidence that each and every prospect will be contacted and in a timely matter after your system captures their name, address, and phone number.

These are just two of the ways you can make real estate 800 call capture technology work for you. This is just the tip of the iceberg. 800 call capture systems are a must for real estate agents looking to generate more leads and get more listings. But, it probably won’t work for youunless you know how to use it.

Real Estate: Sell or Renovate, Which Should You Do

Writen by Andrew Hodge

Whether to Buy or Sell a home is one of the biggest decisions anyone makes and brings up the question “should I move?” To this I always ask “why do you want to move?”

I have had a surprising number of people respond with “I want to collect on the increase in value since I purchased”. They believed that they could sell their home for top dollars and buy a similar home for much less. For anyone who has not guessed already, this will not happen. All homes of a similar style, area, size and with similar features will sell for similar prices. Once you account for real estate fees and closing costs, a move can have significant expenses. So why should anyone move? The simple answer is, because they need something that the current home can not give them. The longer answer involves cost comparisons with renovating, accounting for the inconvenience of both selling a home and renovating a home and whether or not a renovation is even possible.

Move If you can not renovate

Probably the best reason to move is because you can not renovate your current home to suit your needs. Things that can not be renovated include location, more parking or space if your zoning does not allow for more, sewers and gas lines if you live in a remote location and any other feature that you want that is not available because of availability or local laws. So if you own a home on a main street, with no parking spot, no lane or area where parking may be created, and your family is growing and you have safety concerns and parking needs. You should seriously consider moving to a home on a quiet street with parking.

Move if the cost of renovating is too high

One should also consider the cost of renovating. Not all renovations will increase the value of your home. As a general rule, the higher your expenses for renovating the less value you add to your home in relation to the amount spent. So a renovation costing $200,000 may only increase the value of your home by $100,000. This is dependant on what you are doing and how you are doing it. An extreme case of this would be down sizing. You want a smaller home with less maintenance and less expenses for what ever reason. You could knock down your current home and build a little cottage, or you could move and pocket the difference in values between the two homes.

Move If you can not deal with the mess

As we all know renovating can be messy and have numerous surprises. If you do not think that you can put up with trades people tracking through your home, services being disrupted or any of the other possible inconveniences of renovations, then you should seriously consider moving.

If your current home can not easily be changed into what you want for a reasonable price that you can afford, or you do not want to deal with renovations, then moving would be a good alternative. Unless you have multiple homes you should not concentrate on making money so much as consider what kind of home and lifestyle you want to live in. If your current home does not suit you, you may want to consider moving. The choice to move or renovate is yours. Know what you are trying to accomplish, and make sure that you have all the information you need, and you will be happy that you made the best choice for you.

Always Hire An Experienced Realtor

Writen by Will Daly

I’m writing this on the eve of Chinese New Year (Year of the Monkey) while sitting in the Business Class lounge of the Hong Kong airport. I’m on my way to visit my brother, his wife and her family in Tainan City, Taiwan. While sitting here it has dawned on me again the importance of using an expert when buying or selling a home.

I had procrastinated booking this trip. Fortunately, I finally realized that my hesitation was due to fear. Not fear of going to Taiwan itself but rather fear of planning a trip to a country of which I was totally unfamiliar. You see this was a big deal and I didn’t want to mess anything up. Once I recognized the reason for my resistance, I was able to take action. What did I do? I mentally reviewed all the people in my life and came up with a trusted “expert” to call. I remembered that a friend of mine travels to Asia, specifically mainland China, multiple times every year for business. He totally knows the ropes and within fifteen minutes he was able to bestow a wealth of information thus putting me at ease.

Thanks to him I knew the best travel agent to call for deeply discounted fares to Asia, which airline to book, how much I should expect to pay and what to look out for in general. With this insight from a trusted source, and essentially an action plan, I found renewed excitement for the trip. He also convinced me to fly Business Class and boy am I glad he did. The Los Angeles to Hong Kong leg alone was fourteen hours and with the entire trip taking almost 26 hours with layovers and transfers. . .comfort does become paramount. This experience reminded me of the value we provide our friends, family and clients.

Buying or selling a home is a big deal. Bigger than flying to Asia! People can be intimidated by the process, sometimes so much so that they unconsciously stress out and procrastinate. If you or someone you know and care about is doing this, call a trusted and experienced Realtor. With a great Realtor on your side you’ll have the confidence and help needed to make the right decisions. Knowledge can lead to power, power can lead to freedom, and freedom can lead to joy. Get the monkey off your back, drop your fears and spend the year in joy!

North America’s Real Estate Markets Are Still The Safest Havens For Investors

Writen by Luigi Frascati

Europe is pitiful, these days economically speaking, that is.

The European Union is far from the position of strength politicians only a few years ago were portraying it would be. The socialist welfarism of the recent students riots in France, Italy’s shift to the left, Britain’s Tony Blair under siege and a still comatose German ‘Panzer Economie’ - all signal that Europe is in economic decline. It certainly does not appear that Western Europe can now afford what it is politically committed to do, and certainly not so within a decade or two as it regards health care and pensions for the elderly. The hope is to turn the most populous former Eastern European countries - Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania - into large self sustaining consumers markets, and that may one day happen - but certainly not in the foreseeable future. The economies of the West and the East are too far apart to be integrated. Even Germany has considerable problems assimilating the former East Germany, and this notwithstanding all the billions of Euros that the ‘Deutsche Gesellschaft‘ has poured into the East already. Not to mention the Union’s energy dependence on the flimsies of the Ukraine and Russia, an entirely separate matter all in and by itself.

The recent French riots in particular underscore the increasingly untenable system of job security at the expense of entrepreneurship, and that the grounds are set for a collision between expectations and economic reality. And whereas certain niches can certainly be found for international real estate investors, especially in countries like Bulgaria, the implied economic risks that must be assumed far outweigh, for the time being, the profits that can be reaped.

In China the economic achievements are huge, but so are the problems. President Clinton, in one of his last speeches, said that 200 million people in China were lifted from absolute poverty from 1978 to about 1999. That’s equivalent to about two thirds of the entire population of the United States in twenty years. But, at the same time, the factors of economic instability are many and worry the leadership. These factors include a financial and banking system that is basically bankrupt, with bad loans out greater than the real net reserves of the entire banking system.

But, perhaps even more importantly, there is a great imbalance of wealth between the thirty five percent of the population that lives in the cities and the sixty five percent inhabiting the countryside. If one is lucky enough to be born in a city and registered as a city dweller it is easier to get into university. In the city, one can work at all the large companies and government agencies. Conversely, those who are registered as rural persons are subjected to very severe restrictions on where they can live and work. And this is actually the biggest human rights problem in China today. There is a majority of this population of 1.3 billion people that are, by law, second class citizens. And unless the Chinese leadership comes to terms with this reality, this social injustice is a ticking time bomb that one day will explode, also in the faces of those foreign venturers that invest in China.

Since capitalism is, by definition, a system in which the means of production are predominantly privately owned and operated for profit, and which operates in the absence of government coercion or constraint on the production, distribution, or consumption of goods and services, the whole of Islam, most of Africa and all South America - with the notable exception of Chile - are entirely cut out. This includes wealthy countries like the United Arab Emirates and especially Dubai, where the real estate boom of recent years has been plagued by slavery, stories of construction workers not being paid for months on end, and excessive working hours all of which have led to the rioting early in the year, as upset workers damaged cars, buildings, and construction equipment. Again, investment niches can be found anywhere, but risk far outweighs profitability.

Everything taken into account, therefore, real estate markets in the United States and Canada are still the two safest havens for secure investments. The production of real estate output depends essentially on the accumulation of capital. This is so because the propensity to invest depends on expectations of future profitability and on the present perceptions of market risk. If the present perception of market risk increases sharply, capital will exit more and more from the sphere of real estate production. What drives the accumulation process, therefore, is the perpetual search for more surplus value that is the amount of the increase in the value of capital upon investment, i.e. the yield regardless of source or form.

North America’s real estate markets offer this surplus value, both in the short and long run, coupled by political security and financial stability, and thus position themselves as the destination of choice of all those who want to reap the profits of investment while, at the same time, minimizing the socio economic risks of investing.

Buying A Condo In Chula Vista California

Writen by Virginia Zignego

What are condominiums? A condominium is not a specific kind of home, but rather a specific kind of ownership. Condominiums can be townhouses, high rise flats, or even detached houses. Instead of owning a piece of land outright, as with freehold ownership, condo owners own a space, called a unit, in the condo structure. Each unit is defined by the Condominium Declaration, which is a legal document that describes the condo development in detail and allocates a strictly defined space to each owner. This space usually includes the interiors of the unit (flat or townhouse), down to the drywall or plaster, and in some cases includes public areas like a foyer, interior hallways, party rooms, and gym facilities.

Who runs the condominium development? Every condo development is run by a board of directors composed of elected condo owners. The board is responsible for maintaining condo development. The condo corporation is required by law to establish and maintain a reserve fund, which is a fund set aside for major scheduled maintenance or unexpected repairs. The corporation also collects the monthly common fees from owners to cover the costs of property taxes and insurance.

How is condominium and home ownership different? The main difference is that condo owners must pay monthly common fees, which cover the cost of insuring and maintaining the condo development. Common fees are in addition to paying the costs of financing the condo purchase and vary with the percentage of the total developed space occupied by an owner’s unit. In a very simple development with above ground parking, no common party rooms or guest suites, and basic gym facilities, common fees may be minimal. However, in a well appointed (think underground, heated parking areas) or older development, common fees will be higher, as will the maintenance fees they cover.

Who do condominiums appeal to? Condos appeal to a wide variety of homeowners busy young professionals who don’t have the time to cut the lawn, tend a garden or shovel a driveway, people who travel frequently and can’t always attend to the demands of a house, and retired people who may not be able to physically attend to a large home.

What determines the value of condominiums? As with any other real estate, the value is ultimately determined by the buyer. These are some factors that will affect real estate value: location, exterior and interior structure, location within the building if it’s a multi unit structure, view and closeness to the top floor, and parking.

What are the most important elements to look at when buying a condo? First, consider whether you will be really happy living in a condo, and particularly in the condo in question. Spend some time in the building, walk around the building, visit local businesses and hangouts, and walk around the neighborhood. Make sure you receive and review condo documents. Get copies of the minutes of board meetings so you can see what the issues are and if common fees will be increasing. Talk to some residents to get their opinion on the management and lifestyle.

Featured Location Villajoyosa, Alicante, Spain

Writen by Martin Dell

Located 30 kilometres north of Alicante on the Costa Blanca, the town of Villajoyosa lies at the mouth of the River Sella. Colourful, vibrant and decidedly Spanish, Villajoyosa (literally ‘joyful town’) is situated just south of Benidorm and is sandwiched between the mountains and the sea.

A bustling fishing port, the distinctive, brightly painted facades of the town’s houses were designed to guide the fishermen home from sea. Steeped in history, this is one of the few towns on the Costa Blanca that remains undiscovered, and property here is some of the most competitively priced in southern Spain.

Why Villajoyosa?
Villajoyosa has a colourful history, with the Romans building the first settlement here, but today the feel is overtly Spanish. The town has retained many traditional features, such as its fish market, and there are a number of restaurants along the harbour that serve some of the best seafood in the region. The town is also known for its production of chocolate. The old town has been declared a historic site, and it’s here that you’ll find the multi coloured houses, Villajoyosa’s gothic church and a number of Roman bridges.

Only 10 kilometres from Benidorm, residents can enjoy the perks of being close to such a major town, while avoiding the tourists that inundate the resort in summer. Couple this with friendly residents, a welcoming local community and the fabulous weather (the temperature rarely falls below 16 degrees Celsius) and you’re looking at a fantastic destination.

The scenery is stunning, with a mountainous backdrop and surrounding citrus fruit plantations, as well as olive, carob and almond trees. The town is home to one of the region’s best fiestas, the festival of the Moors and Christians, which culminates in a colourful parade with fireworks. There are also a number of picture book beaches, with talcum powder sand and clear blue waters. These include Playa Centro de la Vila, Playa Paraiso, Playa Bol Nou, and further afield, Torre and Estudiantes.

Where to buy
In Villajoyosa itself, average house prices range from 170,000 Euros to 300,000 Euros, depending on proximity to the city centre or beach. Villas are fetching roughly 350,000 to 800,000 Euros, again depending on the location. It’s possible to pick up a one bedroom apartment for as little as 85,000 Euros, while a two bedroom townhouse will cost you 110,000 Euros, and a country house as little as 133,000 Euros. Travel further north and you’ll come across Cala Finestrat, a cove in the borough of Villajoyosa that’s close to Benidorm’s Poniente Beach.

Cala Finestrat is a stunning resort, with a wide, sandy beach and shallow waters, making it perfect for families. It’s beaches have won the EU coveted Blue Flag every year since 1998. Enjoying its own special micro climate, Cala Finestrat is sheltered from the southerly winds by the El Puig Campana Mountains.These are just a few kilometres away, so as well as snorkelling, scuba diving and beach sports, you can also enjoy mountain activities such as rock climbing, cycling and hiking. It’s also only one kilometre from Benidorm and three kilometres from Villajoyosa, although there are more local amenities and attractions close at hand.

In terms of property, there are mainly apartments and villas for sale. The cost of a two bedroom apartment varies from 146,000 Euros up to 150,000 Euros, while an average two bedroom villa close to the beach will cost around 255,000 Euros.

The property market
The town offers a range of properties to suit every budget, from inexpensive apartments to luxury cliff top villas. There are a handful of developments springing up in the town, but not enough to damage the environment or spoil the coastal area.

During the last five years, property has more than doubled in value, and in some cases tripled, appreciating by as much as 100 to 150 per cent in some areas. Thanks to its proximity to Benidorm, with all its golf courses and attractions, there’s no sign of this trend slowing, especially as more people discover the area. It’s predicted that the market will continue to grow by between 15 to 20 per cent over the coming year.

Typical properties
In this area you will find something to suit every budget, with prices ranging from 115,000 Euros in Villajoyosa to over 1,000,000 Euros for a villa in Cala Finestrat. Apartments and villas are much more abundant than townhouses. Restoration projects are currently underway to repair and maintain traditional village houses, and a scattering of new developments are being built on the outskirts of the town.

The rentals market
Being close to Benidorm, there’s scope to secure a healthy rental income from a property, depending on where it is located and how close it is to the beach and amenities. If a property is well marketed and in a premium location, for example on the beachfront, it’s possible to secure an annual income of roughly 10 per cent of it’s sales value. For the average property, a yield of 7 per cent is more likely.

There’s been a rise in the number of people investing in buy to let property in and around Villajoyosa. Given that the tourist industry is growing, and that there are major renovations and development works being carried out on the seafront and old town, including the building of a theatre, swimming pool and football stadium, it’s likely that the next few years will see a rise in rental demand.

Living there
Villajoyosa is more popular with Spanish buyers than foreign investors, although the demand from overseas buyers is increasing. Those who purchase here tend to be mostly British and Norwegian, along with some Belgians. Buyers tend to be aged between 40 and 60, and are looking for apartments and villas.

The town is dominated by its local Spanish residents and life is very traditional, with fishing and the fish market central to Villajoyosa’s economy. Tourism is a growing industry, but for those looking to buy, be aware that despite being very close to Benidorm, life here is a very different proposition.

The town’s amenities are currently limited, but the development of the seafront and other investments means that facilities will improve. However, this situation is easy to endure it’s reputed that the sun shines more in Villajoyosa than in any other part of the Costa Blanca.

The expat community is also on the increase, and given that Benidorm is just down the road, you shouldn’t feel too isolated. Couple this with it’s unique Spanish features and traditional lifestyle, it’s easy to appreciate why Villajoyosa is a ‘joyful town’.

Steve Murphy and Christine Dawson moved to the Costa Blanca in 2004. They left behind their pub, ‘The Rising Sun’ in Sidmouth, and moved to Venta la Nuza, close to Villajoyosa, where they purchased a villa. At first they found it difficult to settle and adjust, having been used to running a business and keeping busy.

However, this all changed when they purchased ‘The Bodegon’ in Villajoyosa itself. This hole in the wall pub helped them settle into life in Spain, and they now spend their time with Christine working behind the bar and Steve beavering away in the kitchen, producing his British ‘pub grub’ of liver and onions and a ploughman’s lunch. “The pub has taken off really well,” says Christine, “not only do we attract the tourists, but many of our clients are locals.”

Costa Blanca statistics
Population Villajoyosa: 23,430
Population Alicante: 1,300,000
British Homeowners: 350,000
Foreign population: 15 20%
GDP Growth: 1.8%
Inflation: 2.4%

Sell Your Home Fast Get the Buyer’s Perspective

Writen by Greg Root

Are you interested in selling your home quickly? Have you tried or are currently attempting to sell a house without much success (be it unable to find a buyer or perhaps not reaching the target price range you were hoping to hit.)?

If you are having these kinds of problems, there are many reasons as to why you might not be having much success with your sale, but don’t despair as these obstacles can be overcome. To sell your home fast, you simply need to see things from the buyer’s point of view. The more you understand the wants and needs of home buyers, the better your marketing strategy will be.

The Smart Home Seller

A Smart Home Seller knows that, “first impressions are lasting impressions.” To market your home successfully doesn’t mean that the home must be overhauled with renovations or improvements, it simply means that the home must be prepared for selling. Such conservative improvements can range from simple repairs to a fresh paint job or simply a good cleaning.

When presenting a home to a buyer, the first glimpse the buyer has of the house (referred to as “curb appeal”) often times triggers the attitude they have toward purchasing the home. Think of it like when meeting a person for the first time; you know it’s the first 30 seconds that counts the most. Because of this first impression axiom, you want the outside of your house to be in optimal selling condition. Bringing a home into selling condition doesn’t mean a great deal of money has to be spent; it’s simply making the face of the home presentable. Cleaning the front lawn, removing any Christmas lights and trimming grass are just a few inexpensive things that can be done to give your home a face lift. (Extra Information: Planting flowers and such at the front of your home can successfully give your house a touch of color along with a very clean appearance. This is very inexpensive and can do wonders for a first impression. )

Creating the “Right Look”

There are many ways to prepare your home for sale, and most of them are extremely cost efficient and inexpensive. When selling your home, you need to remember that you wish to make the buyer feel as though they are looking at a home they can see themselves in. This means that the home must adopt a clean and neutral atmosphere.

Attaining a neutral atmosphere is simply making your house an open canvas, so to speak. The home needs to be relieved of any statements or personalization that might be present. Such statements can be things such as deer head displays or bear skin rugs; while these may appeal to the seller, it could be offensive or a turn off to the buyer. When dealing with depersonalization, it’s good to remove anything that may establish the home as “Someone else’s house.” Such personalizing objects are things such as pictures, wall posters or trophies. By creating a Neutral atmosphere, you will have cleaned your home in such a way that potential buyers will feel comfortable and free to picture themselves living in that house.

When dealing with the question of how to sell your home fast, it’s best to keep in mind that there are many tips and tricks to the home selling market. The best method to achieving success in selling your home is to learn what the home buyer is looking for, then preparing your home for sale accordingly.
