The severe shortage of houses in Narembeen, Western Australia has propelled the residents of the locality to build more houses on their own accord, with co-ordination assistance being provided through the Narembeen Housing Group, a non-profit organisation. This, according to the residents in Narembeen, will ease the housing shortage in their area. Moreover, the Narembeen residents feel that more housing facilities could mean attracting more residents to their locality which in intern would make Narembeen a more thriving community.

The residents feel that the houses will fetch up to three hundred thousand US dollars each. The brick houses with four bedrooms and two bathrooms will cost around three hundred and fifty thousand US dollars. This price would enable the local shire to recollect the loan amounts it has funded for the housing project in Narembeen. For this reason, the local shire has come up with the plan to help the residents by loaning out the required amount. Many of the houses are currently available for purchase directly off the plan.

Narembeen Housing Committee’s Ray Parsons has said that most people who work in the town are compelled to commute from other far flung areas on a near daily basis. This has for a long time had a great impact on the area’s economic as well as social development. Workers employed in Narembeen would mostly prefer to settle somewhere close to their workplace to avoid commuting long distances. This would ensure that all the houses built in the area would be lapped up by these workers.

Because of this, Narembeen residents have taken it upon themselves to build houses in a bid to ease the town’s acute housing shortage. According to Ray Parsons the entire residential community has bonded together to bring across a good solution.

In fact, the residents of the area have had a few meetings wishing to know more about the possibility of housing schemes. Ray Parsons said that the residents’ ideas served as think tank for the project. He said that the idea to build more houses in Narembeen was unanimous because of the shortage in housing.

Though it prompts locals to build their own houses in Narembeen, it is widely anticipated that more people from the city would prefer this locality for its quiet atmosphere and relatively low cost housing. This acute shortage prompts the locals to build their own houses here so that they can cash in on the housing market boom witnessed by the locality.

By this, it is not only the residents who are at a great advantage because their beloved town is showing signs of development, but people trying to settle in Narembeen who also prefer an area that is quite free from the city buzz. With this housing project at full swing, there is not an iota of doubt that the town would develop in to a good and thriving locality with the infrastructure and resources to support a growing population.

The first housing project has been commenced at Lot 47 Cheetham Way, Narembeen with output running seemingly smooth.

Being in an uncertain real estate market, it can cause stress, not only for the home buyer or seller, but also the real estate agent.

Have you ever felt compelled to shout at your buyer “Just shut up and buy the house”? If you have and you have refrained that was a wise choice, but don’t feel bad, every agent at one time or another has gone through that feeling of helplessness and just wanted to shout at the top of their lungs, “Stop arguing over such stupidity!” “Just SHUT UP and buy the house already!” Hey, it’s okay, real estate agents are people too, but once you learn how to take control over the situation you will be better off and not want to scream at your buyers.

This article is being written in the hopes to start bringing awareness and to enlighten real estate agents that the power lies within yourself as a professional in your field and to perhaps help struggling agents identify what may be missing in their efforts.

In a housing market such as the one we are living in today, the real estate agent’s job is tougher than ever. You have buyers that are indecisive on what house to purchase, they are on the fence whether to wait it out or not to see if the market bottoms out more, waiting to see if those interest rates keep lowering, and don’t always have their ducks in a row when it comes to gathering the documents together to submit to their mortgage lender.

If you are an agent representing the seller you have sellers that although they are finally slowing starting to come around to accept the fact that their home has lost value over the last couple of years, some are still not always being realistic with their asking price.

This is where the real estate professional must step in and take control of the situation so everyone can move forward.

The key that seems to be missing in most real estate agents portfolio these days is being aware. Awareness seems to be lacking greatly and it is the key to a successful career. Without awareness, a system,and being accountable for your actions, you will not achieve the results you are seeking.

Real estate agents sometimes need to take a step back and re-analyze the situation.It does not matter whether the agents are seasoned professionals or just received their license yesterday. They need to take a step back and analyze their business structure, their goals, identify each and then plan on how they will achieve those goals.

Getting back to basics is another key. Most agents right after they pass their state test are beaming with pride and run to their broker so excited to jump right in and take on the world.

They take pride in their achievement and go on listing appointments with listing presentation and briefcase in hand, dressed to the nines and landed that listing every time. Then something starts to happen to them.

Sometimes they lose their spark, their excitement, their edge. A couple of deal that fall through and they start to get discouraged. Or they get seasoned and get comfortable. They need to get back to basics and revisit all those tips and training they learned when they were fresh out of real estate school and start bringing that “spark” back.

Compassion for your clients is another key. Real estate agents need to have compassion for what their buyer and or seller are going through. They need to ask questions and lots of them and get to know their needs, wants, and concerns. Then they need to SHUT UP and listen.

Really listened to the answers. They should be writing down the answers in front of their client as they spoke, looking somewhat of a reporter on an interview. All of this counts to the buyer or seller. All of these things matter to them. It shows them someone cares, truly cares and are willing to help them get from point A to point B.

Until a real estate agent starts having compassion for their client’s situations, the client will sense that and will give that listing to someone else that cares or that buyer will go see that house they love with another agent that showed them some compassion.

It all boils down to the simple fact that even though the market rises and falls, the basicsof obtaining a listing or helping a buyer find a home still remain the same no matter what market conditions arise.

There’s no doubt about it, people use real estate agents to sell and buy property all the time. On the other hand, some people, choose not to use a real estate agent and in turn, buy and sell their own properties. This often leaves many wondering if real estate agents are truly worth their fees. The answer is, “it depends on your lifestyle and the time in your life that the real estate transaction is completed.” That is, each person’s circumstances will dictate the answer to this mind-boggling question. We will now discuss this in further detail.

First, of all, let’s discuss why some people employ an agent. Many people employ an agent simply because they don’t have the time or the energy to sell the property themselves. Take me for instance, when I employed a real estate agent to sell my residential property, I was working a full time job, caring for children, my husband and my home. We were both very busy and simply didn’t have the time or the energy to take care of the details to get our property sold. We had too much going on and we simply needed to get the property sold quickly so that we wouldn’t loose out on our “dream home.” In this instance, conducting the entire deal ourselves simply would not have been a wise decision. Instead, we hired a professional real estate agent and we paid her 4% of the selling price. Although this may seem like a lot, it actually wasn’t. Our real estate agent closed the deal quickly and got us 10% more than we thought the property was worth. She really knew her stuff and we were smart to hire her.

Second, let’s discuss why some people might choose to conduct their own real estate transaction. There are many reasons but the most common is that they have the time and energy to handle the deal and they don’t want to share the profits with the agent. Let me use myself again as an example. Once I became an empty nester and started looking for additional income, I decided to play the real estate investing game by selling a piece of property that I already owned. As an empty nester, I listed the property in the paper, showed it, and handled contract negotiations. As a result, we received a nice offer for the sale and when it closed, we received a hefty profit due to the fact that we didn’t use an agent. In this case, an agent simply didn’t make good financial sense.

In conclusion, I’ve learned that real estate agents can be worth their fees however it depends on your personal situation. If you don’t have the time to sell or buy property yourself, for whatever reason, it pays to use an agent. If you have time and energy, then using an agent makes no sense at all. So, do what works for you and enjoy your profits – either way, you earned them!There’s no doubt about it, people use real estate agents to sell and buy property all the time. On the other hand, some people, choose not to use a real esate agent and in turn, buy and sell their own properties. This often leaves many wondering if real estate agents are truly worth their fees. The answer is, “it depends on your lifestyle and the time in your life that the real estate transaction is completed.” That is, each person’s circumstances will dictate the answer to this mind-boggling question. Let’s now discuss this in further detail.

Today, Florida condominiumss are available at incredible prices. If you are relocating to Florida, even if it won’t be for a number of years, now is an excellent time to consider making an investment in one of the many condos for sale in Fl. In fact, foreigners are taking advantage of the weakened dollar and the depressed economy and are buying condos for sale in Fl and other parts of the country in record numbers.  When the economy and the real estate market rebound, as they eventually will, those who invested during these times will have instant equity in their new condos.

If you are relocating to Florida and will be buying one of the numerous Forida condominiums, you need to understand what is involved in owning a condo. First, the Florida statute defines a condominium as a unit that is owned by an individual but where common elements of the site are jointly owned. This common ownership means that all the land and shared areas (hallways, roof, walls, pools, lobbies, laundry facilities, etc), are jointly owned by everyone in the building. Decisions about these areas will be made by the condominium association, a group of elected representatives who are also unit owners. You will be taxed annually for property taxes, just like if you buy a single-family home. But insurance will be handled slightly differently. Your condominium association will purchase fire and extended liability insurance, but you will need to get liability insurance for your own unit as well as insurance for your belongings. 

When you move into a condo in Florida, it’s as if you are moving into a building with its own mini-government. The condominium association rules will govern a great deal of what you can and cannot do in your unit or on the grounds. For example, if you have pets, or if you want to have your grandchildren come to visit you and be able to swim in the condominium pool, you will not be allowed to do either if the condominium rules prohibit it. Before you buy a condo in Florida, make sure you are fully aware of any rules regarding:

Condominium dues or fees, payment terms, any caps on the rates, and what is and is not included.  Any restrictions on visitors, times of day facilities can be used, pets, subleasing, renting, or selling your condo. Parking  spots, number of cars you can have, visitor parking, and, if applicable, whether or not you can park your boat, motorcycle or any other recreational vehicle on the premises. What is required of you in terms of maintenance of your unit vs. what the condominium association will pay. What changes you can make to the condo in terms of flooring, window coverings, or changing open porches to screened or glassed-in porches.

In most condos, you will also have to get advance approval of the buyer from the condominium association before you can complete a sale.  Once you decide what it is important to you, you can begin the search of Florida condominiums to find the one that is right for you.

The first step for any successful realtor is to use web design and search engine optimization to create a traffic-magnet website. Once these online marketing SEO techniques have been employed, the audience will arrive with high expectations and very short attention spans. There are many ways to establish oneself as an expert within a field, but Adam J. Morien, founder of OptiTrex Internet marketing SEO company, says the best way is by providing in-depth information that is useful and dynamically written.

“The old saying is very true – ‘Content is king.’ You need the content to professionally portray a successful, conversion-centric website,” Morien states matter-of-factly. There are many ways to add internet marketing SEO content – rewrite the homepage, add more portal pages, publish articles and press releases on third party sites, or start a blog.

“Blogging allows you to increase the ability of your voice to reach people and the number of people you can contact to establish relationship,” added Daniel Rothamel, a member of Strong Team Realtors in Charlottesville, Virginia. “You can be constantly creating your own content and greatly increase your ability to educate people.”

Blogs are especially important resources for out-of-state homebuyers and foreign home buyers – and therefore, make great online marketing SEO tools for realtors. This year, the National Association of Realtors found that, on average, 15% of a realtor’s business comes from a foreigner purchasing a second home in America – notably Florida, Southern California and Texas (where half of all expats buy their US homes).

Additionally, a 2008 Mayflower Transit study interviewed more than 15,000 people about relocating from state to state for work – and they found that 50% of all respondents had moved in the last year for employment reasons! The most popular destinations were: Washington DC, Kentucky, Vermont, Nevada, South Carolina and North Carolina. Realtors in these particular markets need to be cognizant of these relocating audiences and provide more in-depth coverage of the distinctive neighborhoods, employment information and regional flavor of their areas. However, providing this information in any area is a great way to get ahead of the competition since most real estate websites are stingy with their information and overwhelmingly full of generalizations. It’s a simple formula: the more specific the online marketing SEO information is, the more knowledgeable the real estate agent will sound.

“Blogging and social media online marketing are the latest and greatest strategies we use to increase quality traffic, leads and exposure of our clients’ businesses,” Morien explains. He adds that search engine optimization and blogging particularly go hand-in-hand because search engine spiders at Google and Yahoo are looking for certain things while ranking pages. The more pages of useful, keyword-rich content a website has, the more favorable that page will fare in the search engine results. Since most consumers never make it past the second page, Internet marketing SEO strategies need to focus on getting the client’s site within the top 20 listings.

Another online marketing SEO strategy that ranks well in search engines is social media content – particularly Myspace blogs, pages and images (which is more open than, say, Facebook.) Social media marketing can be linked to a realtor’s website and blog to create online chatter and inspire word-of-mouth marketing. “Think about social marketing like the chat room of consumer reports,” Morien says. “We leverage our clients by setting them up as the authority resources in their industry – and the ‘buzz’ of social marketing and blogging has successfully contributed to this strategy.”

Crafting press releases to market on third party sites and exchanging links with other industry leaders (like builders, housing organizations, etc) are other invaluable Internet marketing SEO techniques. These methods are like testimonials, votes of confidence and vouches for a realtor’s trustworthiness. Not only does this resound favorably with audiences, but also with search engines which are scouring the Internet for the “best of the best,” the most highly recommended and the most popular.

It’s safe to say that most realtors don’t have the time to maintain a daily blog, craft in-depth press releases or keep up with social media traffic. However, hiring a professional Internet marketing SEO copywriter for a few hundred a month can have a major impact. These trained writers can not only do all the research about neighborhoods, events, properties for sale and the local real estate market trends, but they can also write in an engaging, intelligent manner that will keep readers coming back for more.

“Home sellers and buyers are in the driver’s seat today when it comes to finding real estate services on attractive terms,” said the National Association of Realtors Chief Economist David Lereah. “This is a great time to look for a realtor who will deliver the best service and the best price.”

Wealthy home buyers who buy multi-million dollar homes are typically self-made millionaires with new money, according to a recent online survey of 683 Coldwell Banker Previews International property specialists. The study revealed the top professions of these affluent customers. According to the respondents, 88 % of their customers are business or corporate executives, 37 % are physicians, 31 % are lawyers, 30 % are financial professional and 14 % are entertainers, entertainment executives or professional athletes.

Wealthy home buyers require their real estate agents to be equipped with special skills, according to the Coldwell Banker’s survey. Given the magnitude of the financial transactions involved in luxury home purchases, 78 % of sales associates said that the top most need their clients require from their real estate agents is privacy and confidentiality. The luxury customers also want their real estate agents to exercise discretion while dealing with their multi-million dollar transactions. Almost 70 % of respondents polled that their wealthy clients want their real estate professionals to offer customized services while 44 % said that the luxury home buyers want their agents to have good network and work relationship with executive assistants, CPAs and attorneys.

Wealthy home buyers also want their agents to know the inside scoop on the real estate market, according to 36 % of the respondents in the Coldwell Banker’s survey. Seventeen percent of the sales associates surveyed indicated that one of the necessary skills for real estate professionals working with affluent customers was the ability to provide emotional support to their clients. And according to 11 % of respondents, luxury customers want their real estate agents to establish personal rapport with their clients.

The study also included queries on the “must have” amenities that the affluent clientele want in their luxury homes. Wealthy home buyers want media rooms in their homes, according to 60 % of respondents and another 60 % polled that their affluent customers want “wired” homes. However, there are a few home design elements that are out among luxury home buyers. Gourmet kitchens, granite countertops and wet bars are no longer counted as luxuries by wealthy home buyers, according to the survey respondents.

The survey also found that the multi-million dollar home buyer pays a typical down payment of 20 % to 30 %, while a quarter of clients put down 30 % to 50 % of the sale price.

ROSARITO, BAJA CALIFORNIA. MEXICO – Many Americans with reduced and fixed incomes are looking outside of the US for retirement and economic relief in these tough times, finding it just south of the border. Baja California, Mexico is leading the trend to cater to retirees, by offering services that appeal to the growing number of foreign residents. These services include assisted living, property and personal care among others at significantly lower prices than in the US.

US store names like Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Smart and Final, Applebee’s and Ashley Furniture are some of which are becoming more common in strip malls around the area. State of the art medical facilities equal to those on the US have been and are being constructed in order to provide quality medical care services to the growing number of foreign residents, the only difference being the lower cost.

The area between Rosarito and Ensenada just 45 minutes south of the border has become the preferred area, where developers are also getting on board by bringing amenities to these new homeowners. Calafia Condos & Villas is one of these developments, where their new tower offers more amenities and social atmosphere for people with an active lifestyle. Plus, it is pet friendly. Some of these amenities include a club house with a TV room, game room, computer area, large gym, outdoor and a private Jacuzzi. These amenities are becoming standard for new communities.

A current resident of Northern Baja, Karen Erstad says “I purchased a second home in Las Gaviotas, (an established Northern Baja community), over 10 years ago with the intent to someday live my retirement years by the Ocean”. When she decided on early retirement and make her move, her family and friends thought she was not on her right mind. Even though she would be only a 2 hour drive away, their primary concern was medical care and the question of who would look after her.

Some doctors in this Rosarito-Ensenada area are willing and do still make house calls; there are also excellent medical facilities throughout the state. Serena Senior Care is a corporation dedicated to improve the quality of life for senior residents in Baja; among their services are nursing assistance and doctor visits, which gives family members’ peace of mind. In addition, ocean front developments in Baja are largely inhabited by expatriates making them very tight communities, who look out for one another.

Karen continues by adding “I can also put my own concerns at ease, by moving to Mexico I can live the same lifestyle if not a better one as if I were still working”.

Karen is one of many Americans discovering the benefits and lower cost of in-home services that the Northern Baja region offers; furthermore, with the increased purchasing power of the US dollar against the Mexican peso they can lower their monthly expenses considerably, here is an example:

* Grocery bill around 250 dollars a month for a small family.* Cost of a movie for two people from less than 11 dollars including popcorn.* Doctor’s visits starting at around 20 dollars.* Internet Access and Cable TV from 60 dollars.* Property taxes average 300.00 dollars and up per year.* Game of golf starting at 35 dollars* Private bilingual school around 175 dollars monthly tuition* Hair Salon hair cut and color can start at around 27 dollarsEating out* McDonalds, less than 4.50 for a super size combo* Chinese food, less than 4.50 for a “lunch” (enough for 2 people)* Traditional Mexican food, complete meals from around 4 dollars.* 5 star meal starts at 20 dollars per person.

Most of these coastal Baja developments are also located just 10 to 15 minutes from the newest hospital in the area. Downtown shopping, and a 45 minute drive to the wine country, where on Wednesdays and Saturdays they offer an organic farmers market. Living in these communities Americans have the same lifestyle as they currently have back at their homeland but for much less.

Max Katz, a long time reputable Rosarito Broker says “Due to the entire housing inventory on the coast, developers set themselves apart by offering more amenities, services and discounts”. He continues saying, “Not only the newer developments are following the trends, even long time established communities such as Las Gaviotas, an ocean front community that has been a model of success for retirees over the last 35 years, are upgrading to larger gyms, creating social committees and having weekly golf and tennis tournaments”.

Clearly, relocating to Northern Baja California has become a solution for Baby Boomers and American retirees against the economic crisis. Especially for those who would like to remain closer to their families and amenities in the US. For others, is just good business.
