Do you have an IDX link on your site and Advertise "search the MLS"? I know I have. Under new NAR rules, that is not accurate. Our visitors think they are searching the whole MLS and they are not with IDX link. I was not aware to the difference. Shame on me, but I know now! Found this youtube video reading an outside blog.

I have many years experience with network marketing companies, and in my opinion, this is network marketing at its finest. We are marketing (sharing) our knowledge, skills and abilities with each other, and the consumer. The relationships we build in the AR Community allow us to leverage our ability to earn referrals from our colleagues around the country. The single level residual offered by my company being the exception, there is no better way for an agent to network, than in "The Rain".

We sell the largest single purchase item the average consumer will make in their lifetime. And we EARN a percentage of the sales price, nice huh? And, we get to do it more than on some occasions. For example, how many times have you sold a client a home, and a few years later have them call you, because they want to sell and buy a larger home? If you have had that happen more than once, no doubt you have established yourself in the business, and are benefiting from your NETWORK of satisfied customers, because of the fine job of MARKETING you've done!

So again I ask, is this network marketing without the pyramid? You tell me.

Current economic conditions have many wondering if it is time to buy, sell, or complain?
There is an abundance of distressed properties resulting from job loss, divorce, and bank foreclosure. But as with every cloud, there's a silver lining.

If you are looking for a way to create wealth there's probably no better way than buying and selling real estate. History proves that owning real property is a safe way to hedge your bets over time. And that's been true in good and bad economic times.

Have you ever noticed how history seems to repeat itself? It is history that allows forecasters to predict trends because everything seems to cycle or repeat. How many times have you said, "if I only knew then what I know now, I would have done this, or that"? I'm telling you, NOW is the time to buy real estate.

Think about this, for you to buy means it's time for someone to sell. So it really doesn't matter if you're buying or selling, NOW is the time to act. Fortunes are being made right now! Dreams are being fulfilled. The only question is, "Is it your dream"?

Now some people are holding back waiting for times to get better, but that's the surest way to guarantee you will miss the greatest opportunity you will ever have to buy real estate.

Hell if you could eat houses, now would be a good time to get a belly FULL! Obviously, I'm not suggesting anyone over extend themselves. To the contrary, I'm simply stressing the urgency of the moment. Remember these times will not last forever and neither will you. Therefore if you would like to upgrade your living space, or you want a nicer home and you can afford it, go for it! Just remember to call Exit Realty 1st Class first!!

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!!

Rent or Buy?

You're relocating to Fort Bragg and you've decided to live off base. Should you buy, or should you rent? One question to ask yourself is do I expect to own the home long enough to recover my cost. Let's face it, every cent you spend on rent is money you will never recover.

On the other hand, if you buy, you will be responsible for all the maintenance cost not covered by insurance, plus pay property tax. Under normal market conditions it is not unusual to see property values appreciate 3-5 percent per year. So when you do the math you have to figure out how long you have to own the home before it becomes profitable. Notice I said own the home and not live in it. Because as a homeowner you also have the option of letting someone else make the mortgage payments by renting it out if you leave early.

Owning your home has the potential of enhancing your credit profile, and financial stability. Over time, say 10 -15 years, it is possible to cash out equity either as a loan or a sale. Ultimately, you must decide what's right for you. And when you do, don't forget to call Exit Realty 1st Class at 910-864-3948 or visit us on the web at www.exitfayetteville.com.
