Developers Capital Realty Meets Broker Bryant, Is a Deal Pending??

What a wonderful way to end the day...sitting here in my office listening to Debbie Andersohn, yes thats Brads wife, singing her song on the video he put out on todays blog.

I was listening to it about 5:30 AM this morning, and somehow this afternoon I liked it better. I think its great to get to "meet" some of our Active Rain family this way.CONGRATS TO BRAD & DEBBIE FOR THIS VERY NICELY DONE VIDEO!!

Speaking of Active Rain family, I got to meet Broker Bryant in person today!!

We were both a bit pressed for time, but we made time to meet at one of the subdivisions my client is buying. It is in Broker Bryant's area, and who else should we call to give us insight about the demographics? So far, Broker Brant has sent sales reports, subdivision reports, and overall provided local insight as to what my client can expect to encounter to build new homes here..

Isn't that why we use Realtors. Realtors are supposed to have local knowledge. And Broker Bryant did in fact have good local knowledge, and we do hope we can work out an arrangement between his company and mine to sell off the 166 homes at a reasonable profit for us all.

Another quick fact or two I learned today:

1. Of the neighboring subdivisions we visited in person today, they admitted that since they started putting their inventory on the LOCAL MLS the sales had gone up dramatically...Imagine that, paying Realtors to sell houses....what will they think of next????
2. One of the more successful subdivisions had a surprising statistic from carefully accounting fro the traffic flow in their seven developments......They sold 1 out of 27 people who came into the models and looked !!!!!! One out of twenty seven actually closed......Since they began listing in the MLS....they now have records that prove 1 out of 7 closed that came in with a Realtor...One out of Seven!!!
3. In a Lake County Subdivision sales office, the manager admitted that when the existing contract with the paper was up, they were going to Realtor driven events only for the next six months, and that Realtor direct closings accounted for over 80% of the homes sales under construction at that time.
4. When I told them I was also a Realtor, I was told that if I could sell an inventory home that I could practically write my own commission check.....

So, its been a long day. Developers Capital Realty, LLC put a nice commercial corner under contract yesterday, and we will hope to have an Orlando Motel in Foreclosure under contract by the end of this week. We are also bidding as buyers agent on a very large subdivision in Sumter County Fla as well. There is a ton of Real Cash available out there for investing in the right deals...Anyone who can find such deals should give me a call at the info listed on my profile page.

Have a great Day all, and thanks again to Broker Bryant for all his hospitality.

What....no ice cream here either.....

I guess I will have to work for a living..........Whats this world coming to when there are Realtors who want to get paid just for listing the property. ...Of course, when I contacted my lawyer today to discuss a deal we are involved in, I realize my time was free and I will get a bill whether I close or not from the lawyer....

Apparently, my time is not worth as much
