By the way, you can thank republicans for putting America up for sale to the international community. America will now be expected to tap dance to the tone of the highest bitter. Now it is officially a whore.

Get ready people, because the New World Order is upon us. And republicans have put them on the drivers seat.

We used to have statesmen,
then they became politicians,
now they will become prostitutes.

I am predicting $6 million for a representative, and $8 million for a senator.

Governors will go relatively cheaply, at anywhere from $2-5 million.

"Hi texas, this is your new representative…sponsored by exxon…"

do i need to get a realestate lawyer? who pays closing costs, building inspectors and whaterver else needs to be done?

Getting an inspection would be a very good idea, preferably someone who knows mobile homes.

Are you just buying the mobile home or is there land with it? If there’s land, definitely get a real estate lawyer to handle the paperwork and closing.

If you are just buying the mobile home and no land, it may be more like a car sale. Many states title mobile homes just like a car.

it was built in 1910 it’s three beds,large kitchen,dinning room,den,living room and house stable it’s really cool http://realestate.timesrecordnews.com/realestate/Sales/Listing.asp?lid=392-96530 here a pic of the house

I would ask the listing agent to supply you sales comps, the home looks lovely but its always location, location, location,.

The reference to Zillow was good, however I have seen the numbers way off.

Ask the agent, how long has the home been on the market? How did the seller or agent determine price?

This will give you better insight.

This is a prime example at that price and today interest rate, its cheaper to own both in the short and long term

Best to you.

PS I like Texas and Louisiana

Hi, i am a new agent in the state of california. I was wondering if anyone here can tell me how they started getting clients and how they became confident in talking with clients. I know one of the ways to get clients is to prospect, but which ways can you prospect. Thanks.

Business cards: Do you think you can "cut corners" and make a good impression with those thin, flat, lifeless, computer-generated cards?

PLEASE DO yourself a HUGE favor: Invest your time to sit down and properly design your business cards. If you aren’t sure, please go to a professional printer or graphic arts store and ask for help and guidance. Those folks should amaze you with ideas and concepts. In the long run, good, professionally printed business cards with raised lettering and features, go a long way to show others you care – about yourself, about your business and about your clients.

When you leave, your contacts and clients have two things:
1] Good, bad or indifferent – the impression you left.
2] Your business card.

Don’t you think it makes good sense to invest your money in a good, quality business card? Have your cards professionally printed.

Find an investment group – or two – or more with professional real estate investors. JOIN it/them &&&&&&&&&&&&& BE ACTIVE!!!! Get on committees, get to be known as a "can do" type of person. You should have fun [and Yes, some aggravation, too]. You should make some friends and begin building your client base. You should get leads! AND look how much time, money and aggravation you’ll save! LOTS!

Here are my suggestions to being successful on the job as well as being a successful person:
1] Having and keeping a positive mental attitude.
2] Integrity – being honest with one’s self as well as with and to all others. NO kickbacks or stealing.
This, above all else: “To thine own self, be true! And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” William Shakespeare
3] Having an open mind.
4] The ability to learn from others AND teaching still others.
5] Having the ability to make decisions and/or decide AND STICKING with that decision. If and when someone asks “why?” a certain procedure was done a certain way, you must be able to fully explain your
reasoning behind that decision.
6] The ability to properly communicate: following directions and the orders others may give.
7] Cleanliness. Period.
8] Knowing what to do and how to do it.
9] Being part of the overall team. NO job is too small. When it means picking-up that mop [or cleaning the bathrooms and/or other menial tasks] to lend a hand, it happens – without complaining.
That absolutely horrible, miserable and selfish expression, “That‘s not my job.” DOES NOT exist.
9a] On occasion, staying over to help the folks following OR coming in earlier AND going to work to help the overall operation. AND THEN there‘s that expression:
"There is no "I" in "TEAM".
10] Doing the job at-hand to the best of your ability. When there are questions, asking the questions.
There’s no such thing as a stupid question. The ONLY stupid question is the question NOT asked.
11] Having a sense of humor.
12] Being kind and courteous to others.
As a footnote: AND STILL keep his/her wits about you – without “throwing”/having temper tantrums.

As a matter of fact: Isn’t it true any, many or all of the above can be divided into sub-categories?

As the saying goes, "Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door."

What the saying doesn’t tell anyone or even mention is: YOU MUST get out there and let "the world" know about that better mousetrap!

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

VTY,

Yes, that is my real last name!

If I am selling a house for $35,000 and the buyer is getting a loan for $10,000 more ($45,000), which number should the agent commission fee be based off of? the $35k or $50k?

It may sound silly, but what regulation would I find this information? When I go back to the agent, I will need to site a good source. Saying I got it off "yahoo answers" doesn’t sound that good.
The commission is 6%, I am asking what the 6 % is based off, it seems the sale price.

The real estate agent gets the commission off the price of the house, not the size of the loan. If the buyer had a substantial amount of cash on hand to use as a down payment and borrowed $10,000 less than the price of the house I assure you the real estate agent would ask for the commission on the price of the house not the size of the loan. They can’t have it both ways.

I am currently in a situation where my realestate agent has dropped the ball on many occassions. She blames every fumble on someone else (including me, my wife, and my mortgage broker). Her fumbles, as well as a couple by the mortgage broker, have caused the closing of my house to be pushed back by a few days. This also affects the seller since they can’t close on their new house until we are closed.

My question is, do we as clients have any protection whatsoever from an agent that has really failed miserably? Based on the contract, even if we cancel the contract we still have to pay her if we buy a house within 90 days of termination. How are clients protected from horrible agents or just bad agent mistakes and judgments? Her mistakes have contributed to the possible loss of the house and serious delays in closing. There have been may more fumbles along the way.
The main fumbles have to do with communication and education.

I will also say I am sure I made fumbles as well, but I rely on the "professional" to tell me what I am doing wrong or where I may slow things down.

- We were offered some repair money. My real estate agent stated we could find a way to get the repair money out of contract so I could take the money and do the repairs myself. Therefore doing more for less. When it was realized this couldn’t be done she quickly said "Well, the buyer brought it up so I was just checking." She planted that seed and now I find out that can be related to mortgage fraud.

- The closing date was relying on contractor invoices, but due to her trying to find a better way, we didn’t get those done (my fumble, as I was relying on her information). We found out 2 days before closing that it couldn’t be done and this was after she said the seller agreed to it. So we had to scramble.

The others basically include VERY poor communication.
And you make a very good point about closing. I was under the impression a real estate agent was there to hold your hand during the entire process, including making sure closing and everything needed happened on time.

I can find a house on my own, I need someone that can help me through the rest of the process. If that isn’t what agents are for, then there is a much larger problem with the industry.
BTW, let me say. You guys have been great helping out! Thank you very much.

I cannot think of anything the buyer’s Realtor might do, or not do, that would delay the closing. Please give some more information.

If it is found that the agent has caused you financial loss through a mistake on their part, they do carry error and omission insurance to cover the mistake. However, I still am not clear on what they could have done that leas to the situation you are describing.

It does vary from state to state, but generally you just take your pre-license course, pass the exam, pay all the fees, and you are in! I will say that it takes money to make money in this feild and the more sales/marketing/executive experience you have the more likely you are to succeed.

If you do decide to and become licensed, make sure that you REALLY interview brokers. Find one that provides you with leads and good training.
