Exactly What Do Real Estate Professionals Do

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems

Who Arе Thеу…

Rеаl еѕtаtе аgеntѕ are professionals inѕtrumеntаl in соnnесting the buyer with thе seller.

Additiоnаllу, mаnу rеаl еѕtаtе agents mаnаgе rеntаlѕ whеrеin they intrоduсе tеnаntѕ tо lаndlоrdѕ аnd оvеrѕее thе maintenance оf the рrореrtу оn bеhаlf оf the landlords.

In mоѕt аrеаѕ rеаl еѕtаtе аgеntѕ are required tо be highly еduсаtеd, liсеnѕеd аnd аrе regulated bу a governing bоdу.

Sоmе rеаl еѕtаtе аgеntѕ are аlѕо Rеаltоrѕ.

To use the title Rеаltоr, a real estate аgеnt must bе a mеmbеr оf thе National Aѕѕосiаtiоn of Rеаltоrѕ whiсh in addition tо a number оf other requirements, rеԛuirеѕ Rеаltоrѕ tо аdhеrе tо a strict code of еthiсѕ and оffеrѕ Rеаltоrѕ аdditiоnаl еduсаtiоnаl аnd dеѕignаtiоn орроrtunitiеѕ.

Though nоt rеquirеd bу rulе or lаw, it might be a wiѕе decision tо ѕееk the ѕеrviсеѕ of a Realtor.

Whаt Dо They Do….

Rеаl еѕtаtе аgеntѕ bring tоgеthеr two оr mоrе intеrеѕtеd раrtiеѕ, реrfоrm thоѕе ѕtерѕ necessary to ѕuссеѕѕfullу соnсludе a trаnѕасtiоn аnd сhаrgе a соmmiѕѕiоn for their ѕеrviсеѕ.

Fоr ѕаlеѕ trаnѕасtiоnѕ, they charge commission tо thе ѕеllеr whilе for rеntаlѕ, соmmiѕѕiоn is tурiсаllу сhаrgеd thе landlord.

Rеаl estate аgеntѕ generally саlсulаtе thеir fее аѕ a реrсеntаgе of thе ѕеlling рriсе (in thе саѕе of a sale) аnd аѕ раrt оf thе rеnt for rеntаl unitѕ.

Hоw Dо Thеу Dо It…

People whо wаnt tо sell оr rent their рrореrtу lеаvе dеtаilѕ of their property with thе rеаl еѕtаtе аgеnt.

Along with аll рrореrtу dеtаilѕ thе real еѕtаtе agent will typically have kеуѕ tо thе hоuѕе tо facilitate ѕhоwingѕ.

The оthеr interested party (i.e. thе buуеr/tеnаnt), gеtѕ access tо thiѕ information аnd tо thе property bу соntасting thе real estate agent.

That’s hоw thе rеаl estate аgеnt bесоmеѕ a hub оf infоrmаtiоn.

Contrary tо ѕоmе common miѕсоnсерtiоnѕ, real estate agents tурiсаllу represent the ѕеllеr оr the buyer but rаrеlу bоth.

Whу Shоuld I Uѕе One…

Firѕt аnd fоrеmоѕt, tо рrоtесt уоurѕеlf. Rеаl еѕtаtе transactions аrе highlу rеgulаtеd, highly рареr (document) intеnѕivе trаnѕасtiоnѕ.

Thе real еѕtаtе agent роѕѕеѕѕеѕ an in dерth knоwlеdgе of thе laws, rulеѕ, rеgulаtiоnѕ, diѕсlоѕurеѕ and documentation nесеѕѕаrу tо successfully соmрlеtе thе transaction tо the ѕаtiѕfасtiоn оf the buуеr, the ѕеllеr аnd the lаw.

Bесаuѕе real estate аgеntѕ аrе most fаmiliаr with local real еѕtаtе mаrkеt соnditiоnѕ, it iѕ wiѕе and makes ѕеnѕе tо seek thе advice оf one to gеt an idea оf thе сurrеnt trеndѕ and рriсing fоr properties within thаt mаrkеt.

A gооd rеаl estate аgеnt will knоw the рriсеѕ (оr price range) of vаriоuѕ properties оf diffеrеnt types and аt vаriоuѕ lосаtiоnѕ within the rеgiоn.

Bесаuѕе оf the real estate agent’s knоwlеdgе and еxреrtiѕе, property sellers often gеt a fеw thоuѕаnd dоllаrѕ more for thеir рrореrtу.

Many hоmе ѕееkеrѕ, including ѕеаѕоnеd rеаl estate invеѕtоrѕ uѕе the services of rеаl estate аgеntѕ to lосаtе the bеѕt real estate bаrgаinѕ in thе easiest аnd quiсkеѕt manner.

Furthеrmоrе, thе bеѕt agents analyze the wаntѕ аnd needs оf a hоmе buуеr/tеnаnt and рrоvidе vаluаblе input аѕ tо the kinds оf рrореrtiеѕ аvаilаblе tо thеm within their budgеt. Thеrеfоrе, a gооd rеаl estate аgеnt will nоt just рrеѕеnt a list оf available properties tо thе buуеr/tеnаnt but will асtuаllу diѕсuѕѕ thеir needs аnd mаkе ѕuggеѕtiоnѕ.

Thе good real estate аgеnt, working in this mаnnеr benefits in аt lеаѕt twо wауѕ…

Firѕt and mоѕt оbviоuѕlу, whеn thе rеаl еѕtаtе аgеnt iѕ able tо ѕuссеѕѕfullу соmрlеtе thе trаnѕасtiоn the соmmiѕѕiоn is earned and thе rеаl еѕtаtе аgеnt iѕ paid…

аnd secondly, if thеу mаkе the сuѕtоmеr/сliеnt happy they earn a gооd reputation аnd оftеn receive rеfеrrаlѕ (hеnсе mоrе buѕinеѕѕ).

Worth Noting…

It is worth noting thаt there is a mуth flоаting аrоund thаt rеаl еѕtаtе аgеntѕ only wоrk on behalf оf thе ѕеllеr, buyer bеwаrе.

Thiѕ is nоt writtеn in ѕtоnе nоr is it аlwауѕ the саѕе. Real еѕtаtе аgеntѕ are, in mоѕt regions, highlу regulated.

With fеw exceptions, rеаl еѕtаtе agents wоrk either fоr thе ѕеllеr (аѕ is thе case with many listing аgеntѕ) оr fоr thе buуеr (аѕ is thе саѕе fоr a buyer’s аgеnt).

Additiоnаllу, ѕоmе areas аllоw fоr duаl аgеnсу where аn аgеnt саn work fоr bоth the ѕеllеr and the buуеr оr аѕ a trаnѕасtiоn brоkеr where thе agent represents thе transaction itѕеlf аnd neither thе ѕеllеr nor buуеr individuаllу.

However, in the case оf duаl agency/transaction brokerage, note thаt rulе, rеgulаtiоn (law) аnd еthiсѕ dо nоt реrmit thе аgеnt to асt in fаvоr of either party whilе in dеtrimеnt tо thе оthеr.

If you аrе unѕurе of thе rеlаtiоnѕhiр between уоu and уоur real еѕtаtе аgеnt, dо not hеѕitаtе tо ask.

Outlook For Spring 2017 Real Estate Market

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems

The 2016 real estate market was quiet a success.  Interest rates were lower than they had been since the 50’s.  Home values exceeded expectations and an end was in site to the housing recession.  With the federal housing administration offering grants and low interest rate loans there was a monumental increase in first time homebuyers.  With this in mind there are some Real Estate trends to consider as we enter the spring real estate season.

Increased Home Prices

As with 2016, home prices will continue to rise however it will happen at a more gradual pace.  With the buying demand already starting 2017 at a rate that is above 2016 it isn’t a surprise that there will be an increase in the median home price.  Many industry experts expect the increase in home prices to be upwards of five percent.

Increase in Inventory

Interest rates are currently low.  In order to take advantage of these lower interest rates more and more renters are looking into purchasing homes right now.   The same is true of many current homeowners looking to upgrade.  The one disadvantage to this for first time home buyers is that the inventory of homes within the low to average price range is low and moving quickly when it does hit the market. The inventory of homes is expected to increase in 2017 but is still at a historical low.

Volatile Mortgage Rates

Mortgage rates remain low even with the slight increase that occurred following the 2016 election.  This was only the second time that we have seen a rate increase in housing interest rates in a decade.  It is important to note that the Federal Reserve, who controls the rise and decline of interest rates, has stated that they expect interest rates to increase at least three more times this year.  Realize however that these rates even with a few small increases will still be less than we have previously seen.

Availability to Credit Will Improve

With a new president in office there is talk of rolling back many of the financial regulations that were put into place post-crisis in the Dodd-Frank Act.  This means that the regulations on lending the banks are currently under would be removed and less strict rules would take their place.  It is also speculated that the new president would make moves to return mortgage companies that are government-controlled to the private sector.

The spring real estate season is getting started in just a few weeks.  If you are thinking of buying a home or selling your home now is the time to contact a local real estate agent for assistance.

New construction homes

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems

Buying new construction homes is a bit different from buying a previously-owned home. For one, because there is no previous homeowner, you don’t have to deal with a seller’s emotional tie to the property, which typically influences the negotiating process. Whether you’re designing and building a custom home or buying a home that’s built on spec in a new subdivision, you’ll only have to work with the builder.

Many homebuyers think that purchasing a brand-new home is smarter than purchasing a “used” home. A new home’s maintenance costs should be minimal; its construction materials, systems and appliances should be up-to-code and energy efficient; the floor plan and amenities should meet the needs of modern buyers; and the home should be move-in ready. A new construction home also has an emotional appeal for buyers who like the idea of living in a home that’s completely clean and potentially perfect.

When shopping for a new home, visions of gorgeous kitchens, sumptuous master baths and closet space galore may dance in your head, but you can’t forget the important step called financing. In many respects, financing a new home is much like getting a mortgage to purchase a resale home, but there’s an important difference. When buying resale, you shop around for rates and terms from banks, mortgage companies, brokers and online lenders. You can do the same when buying a new home, but there’s often an additional resource. Your builder may offer attractive financing packages, either directly through its own mortgage subsidiary or via an affiliate.

Things to consider while buying new construction homes:

When you are planning on buying a new construction home there are plenty of things that you might consider and few of them are listed below.

  • Weigh the advantages and disadvantages:

Living in a newly constructed home no doubt is incredible and nothing can beat that feeling of joy but before you start decorating and painting your house and fill it with all the glitter just check if it matches your lifestyle. Is it located in the center of the city or far from everyplace you have to be at on regular basis?

  • Research the neighborhood:

When buying a new Construction home always meet with an agent who knows the area well and is very well aware of the neighborhood, it is a matter of lifetime after all. Ask your agent to walk you down the area for you to get an idea of the place also drive around the neighborhood and check out the amenities and the quality of the homes.

  • Get an inspection and a home warranty:

Never forget a thorough inspection of the house you are going to purchase and if possible keep inspecting it during the construction phase also asking for a warranty is great, it’s like protecting yourself. Ask for a builder’s warranty for a period of time following move-in

  • Close the deal:

You are committing 30 years of your life to the process of homeownership. Learn as much as possible about the mortgage process by reading everything you can find.

Inexpensive Home Renovations That Make A Big Impact

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems

There are quite a few home improvement ideas that can be done that keep your home current and fresh.  Contractors are seeing an increase in simple home renovation over large scaled renovations.  It can be costly to re-do a kitchen or a bathroom when a fresh coat of paint, some new shelves, and eco friendly appliances can update the same space at a quarter of the cost.  In this article you will learn ways to update the look and feel of your home with minor home improvements that won’t break the bank.

  • Fresh Paint: A new color freshly painted on the walls can transform any room.  It brings an instant sparkle to the space and changes the feel of the space.  Homes are lived in; walls get scuffed and marked up.  It is amazing what a new coat of paint can do to erase the years of life your walls are showing.  Try a bright, crisp color on the walls.  Pick a color that enhances the existing décor to create a new look with little effort or time.
  • Schedule Cleaning: This isn’t necessarily a renovation but it is definitely a home improvement.  Most people get overwhelmed when it comes to deep cleaning.  By creating a cleaning schedule you can maintain the environment without wasting weekend after weekend cleaning.  Create a schedule and stick with it.  Your home will stay company ready without the headaches and stress of piled up chores.   Have your family participate in a ten minute pick up at the end of each and every night.  This will prevent clutter from being allowed to accumulate.
  • Built-In Furniture: Contractors are seeing a lot of built in furniture features with new construction and the trend is crossing over into home renovations.  Creating built-in pieces of furniture allows you to have more space throughout the home.  Built-ins within the kitchen allow room for appliances and storage within the same space freeing up space elsewhere.
  • Eco-Friendly Appliances: As you start to replace failing, older appliances replace them with eco-friendly, energy efficient appliances.  This will save you money monthly.  The same concept can be used on other objects throughout the home as well including light bulbs, batteries, fans and the numerous small appliances that you use every day that use a lot of energy.

Meet with a local contractor today to see what recommendations they have to bring your home up to date and keep it looking fresh.

Hiring the Right Linear Accelerator Service Specialist

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems

Cancer is a big dilemma of the present times. While some types of cancers are treatable, others remain without cures. There are several treatment methods that are used by medical professionals to stabilize the life of cancer patients and even prolong it if possible. These treatments often include chemotherapy and radiation machines.

There are a number of medical facilities that are home to machines responsible for providing radiation to cancer patients. They are also known as LINAC systems. Intricate in their technology, it takes lots of investment to buy these systems and maintain them for effective functioning. It can become a real problem for many cancer patients if these systems suddenly stop working. For this purpose, medical facilities are often supported by a linear accelerator service specialist.

Quick Thinking

Intricate machinery can be unpredictable at times. Often, it is not easy to identify problems and it can take days to restore its function. However, a linear service specialist with quick thinking can either determine the problems soon or provide an alternative solution that will work for the time being.

Advantages Of Refurbished Medical Equipment

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems

There are a number of advantages that medical facilities will benefit from when buying refurbished medical equipment and supplies over brand new.

Of course the very first advantage seen with buying refurbished linear accelerators or CT scanners or any large scaled item is that it will save you money!  With the cost of large scaled medical equipment reaching easily into the millions we are talking about a significant savings.  A new linear accelerator can costs between three and four million dollars.  Buying a refurbished unit, even at a thirty percent discount saves the facility one point two million dollars.  That is a huge savings!

The one major concern many facilities have is that the savings they are seeing in buying a refurbished unit will be spent on serving the unit.  The truth is that refurbished equipment is just as reliable as brand new equipment with one advantage.  If a refurbished machine breaks down parts and service are more readily available.  Older units are easier to find parts for than newer units simply because they have been around longer.

Manufacturers have become familiar what parts on certain models are more susceptible to needing to be replaced or serviced.  Whereas brand new equipment just being introduced to the market has yet to establish issue that may arise.  In many cases new equipment diagnosis takes longer than refurbished equipment.  The issues are more unknown and are still being discovered.  Parts and service on new equipment may also be more difficult to find because technicians aren’t as familiar with new models and parts are still be used in manufacturing original units.

Rest assured with refurbished medical equipment.  It does the exact same job that a new piece does at up to fifty percent cheaper.  Although there is never a guarantee that equipment will fail the chance of failure remains the same between the two options.  The process of refurbishing medical equipment is incredibly thorough.  Highly skilled, trained Biomedical Professionals work to restore each piece of equipment back to its original form.  Refurbished equipment including linear accelerators aren’t put on the market to be sold until it has gone through arduous testing, assessments, and has  support documentation detailing the unit meets the original manufacturers standards.

There are a number of benefits when it comes to purchasing and using refurbished medical equipment although the most obvious are the cost savings and ability to obtain replacement parts and service quickly.  You can find suppliers of refurbished medical equipment, parts and services online today.

Pros for aluminum fencing

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems - Updated

When it comes to fences around the house, people are more often accustomed to the wooden fence panels. It is not surprising because wooden panels have been used for years and are kind of the tradition, especially with the white picket fence fantasy.

However, the construction industry has progressed over the years. Nowadays, there are better and more innovative alternatives to wood. For example, people are now turning to using aluminum fence panels.

Why Use Aluminum Fence Panels

The aluminum fence panels are recommended for various reasons. We have outlined a list of the benefits of aluminum fencing below:

Cost Effectiveness

Aluminum fence panels are as great as iron ones. However, you can get them at a much better price as well. Therefore, you get great value for an affordable price.

No Rusty Situations

Wood can often become worn due to weather and iron can become prone to rust. In comparison, aluminum is highly resistant to weather conditions. Therefore, it can maintain its quality and good condition for a long time.

Great Aesthetic

Just like iron and wood, you can find pleasing styles in Aluminum fence panels as well. They look quite good when installed properly. You can enjoy some great aesthetic and not block your view beyond the fence panels at the same time.

Low Maintenance

As mentioned earlier, aluminum fence panels are not prone to rust. On the other hand, they don’t need extensive or frequent maintenance either. They can go without a repaint job for a few years.

Durable

Aluminum fence panels can resist against extreme weather conditions and general wear and tear caused by the environment. Therefore, they can stand in place without compromised quality and condition for a long a time.

Easy Installation

They can also be installed fairly with ease. Instead of requiring any special tools or training, aluminum fence panels can be fixed into place with a little handyman experience. However, if you are quite unsure, you may want to hire a professional so you don’t have to spend extra later on.

Highly Convenient for Security

As compared to wooden fences or chain link fences that can be easily broken or cut through, aluminum fence panels offer better security. Moreover, their durability keeps each panel intact so there are no weak links in the entire fencing for anyone to make their way through.

Aluminum fence panels will turn out to be a great choice for your house boundary. You can install them both at the front and around your back yard. Since they don’t cost so much, you can replace your existing fencing with these panels as well. Most of the aluminum fence panels are available readily painted. Therefore, you can save the additional costs and focus just on erecting them. They are very light in weight as compared to wood and iron. This makes their handling and maintenance in the long run fairly easy.

You should consider aluminum fence panels for improving the security and aesthetic of your house boundary.

iFenceUSA offers the widest variety of maintenance-free, no-rust aluminum fences and gates in the industry! Whether you are a pool contractor, a building contractor, an architect, a landscaping professional, or a “do-it-yourself” homeowner looking for exceptional value and installation advice, you’ll benefit by buying wholesale aluminum fences shipped factory-direct to your home or business anywhere in America from www.iFenceUSA.com!

Take Time To Create An Estate Plan Today

Posted on by Creative Programs and Systems

Many individuals do not grasp how important it is to have an estate plan in place.  By taking the time and effort that is needed now to plan for your estate you inevitably save your family and friends a lot of trouble after you are gone.  In reality, after your passing, the last thing that you want to do is to leave chaos for your family to deal with while they are busy grieving.

By working with an estate planning attorney you are able to do all of the following things to prepare your estate.

Immediately provide for your family: It is important for the remaining spouse to have money to survive when their loved one has passed.  Many times couples that have children will plan for their estate to cover their future education while continuing to provide for their upbringing.

It is also important for parents to name guardians in their estate in the unlikely situation both parents were to die at the same time.  Without this in place, the court will be in charge of determining where your kids will live and who will be allowed to make decisions on behalf of their money, education and way of life.

Distribute property quickly: When creating an estate plan with an attorney you will have options regarding any insurance payouts.  With an estate plan the insurance can be paid directly to beneficiaries, joint tenancy and living trusts.  An estate plan allows you to take advantage of laws that allow for partial payments to beneficiaries while the will is still in probate.

Create an incapacity plan: An estate planning attorney will assist you in creating a living will and durable health-care power of attorney. This allows for the individual to make decisions on your behalf if you should become mentally or physically unable to for yourself.  This person will make decisions about life support as well as decisions regarding your medical treatment.

Lessen probate expenses: A solid estate plan can save your heirs a significant amount of money on court expenses. Getting all of your ducks in a row allows you to save on the cost of transferring property and allows more money to go to your beneficiaries.

Lessen the burden on your family: Your family will be grieving your loss while planning for your life’s celebration.  The last thing that they need to have is stress regarding the transfer of your estate.  By having an estate plan in place you are taking care of the details prior to your death.  This allows them to be able to grieve and process your passing.

No one wants to plan for their passing; it is an uncomfortable reality to face in life.  However, by having a plan in place you are basically showing your family just how much you cared.  An estate plan lessens the burden of distributing your assets.
