Government Overhauling Financial Sector! Where Does it End?

Posted: Friday, June 19 2009 at 09:00AM

How do you feel about a "Government Overhaul" of the Financial Industry? Do you find it alarming that Washington wants to give this kind of power to the FED? To push something like this through so fast seems reckless. Giving the the FED the power to meddle in private business affairs when it deems things to be in trouble goes against everything in the Bill of Rights. Not to mention the FED policies of the Greenspan era are what created this whole mess to begin with. What makes Washington think that they can clean it up?

Where will the Government intervention stop? How will this type of Government control change business and Bay Area Real Estate? If history is any kind of teacher, I'm afraid we are in for years of financial issues.

What is a Mortgage Credit Certificate? | Bay Area Mortgage Brokers

Posted: Wednesday, June 17 2009 at 08:12PM

When you buy a home do ask your professional about Mortgage Credit Certificates for your county?? Most won't tell you about them because they don't know about them. There are very few lenders and banks that are able to process these and the savings is very significant. You can save 20% of the interest you pay on a mortgage every year for the entire time you have your loan. If you are going through the process it is absolutely something to take a look into. Right now I am working with a client who is set to save around $400 every month. You can learn all about them if you get in touch with us or you can look at your County's Website.

So What Is Happening to Mortgage Rates?

Posted: Wednesday, June 17 2009 at 07:54PM

Wednesday and Thursday saw our highest 30 year fixed rates of 2009 beating last Wednesday's record high.  It is the third consecutive week where we have set a new high.  We did bounce back at the end of the week thanks in part to a fairly well received 30 year treasury bill auction but we still closed down -25 basis points (rates got higher) from the previous week.

There has been a lot of volatile in the market and the long term trend is still upward although we are enjoying quite a pull back. If you are in the market take advantage and lock in if possible.

6 Ways to Market a Real Estate Business

Posted: Wednesday, May 20 2009 at 11:50PM

If you are in business you are in the business of marketing! No matter what your product or service is you must have an effective scalable marketing plan. There is no blue print to a marketing plan but many say that in order to increase your efficiency in business you should have at least seven different sources that consistently provide your business with traffic, leads and ultimately sales. You MUST also have a great retention plan to stay in touch with clients and business partners. I would like to share several sources that have proven to me over time to be very valuable in creating leads and keeping them in your pipeline.

  1. Face to Face Networking - Many avoid this but it is by far the best way to grow just about any business. Great organizations like BNI and your local Chamber of Commerce will get you in front of people that can turn into business partners.
  2. Fancy Fliers - there are several creative sources like Crazy Millions that provide unique fliers that people hold on to. We average a 3% to 5% call return from this source.
  3. Online Lead Sources - Can't find enough leads? You can buy them online cheap. Sources like Reference USA are free and Info USA is very affordable. Depending on what you are selling, it is likely you can find leads online.
  4. Online Social Networking - Any business owner that is not turning leads from Facebook, LinkedIN and other networking sites are completely missing the boat. Make friends and make an appointment!
  5. Making the Calls! - This is the part that many business owners dread. You can create a Phone Zone group or use a service like CitaLink that will have you making 100 calls in an hours time!
  6. Staying in Touch -with clients and customers that are just not ready to buy or partner with you is crucial. Sites like www.TXTBlaster.com and AWeber are inexpensive and great for staying in touch.

Stay tuned for elaboration on each one of these sources and how you can use them!

Part Two: Tips to Save Time and Invest in More Real Estate

Posted: Sunday, May 03 2009 at 09:49PM
Here are few more tips to create more time in your day.

Say, No

Have you over scheduled yourself? Do you automatically say, yes? You need to practice saying no. You don’t have to give an excuse. If you must, then say, I already have another appointment at that time. The appointment can be with yourself. That is perfectly acceptable.

Put it DownThere are some things that will never be finished - cleaning, prospecting, organizing, etc. These are important tasks that are ongoing and beneficial, yet tedious. With these types of tasks you need to set aside weekly or daily time blocks to work on the tasks. Once the time limit is up, stop, and go on to the next thing on your schedule. Don’t fret because you finished in the middle of something. Remember, these tasks will always be with you and can be picked up and put down at any time. Don’t drive yourself crazy with these types of tasks.

Stop Doing the Same Thing

If something is not working in your schedule then stop doing it. Don’t keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. Adjust your activity until it works for your schedule and you. If after a few adjustments it doesn’t work, then STOP. It is that simple.

Life is hectic. Follow a few of the above time management tips and give yourself some breathing room. Also, don’t forget to give yourself a break when you let your time get away from you. Remember, every minute is a chance to pick yourself up and start all over again.
