For the first half of 2021 Buyer demand had been unprecedented. It seemed that almost no matter the price or condition of a home on the market it SOLD! Home sale prices soared from 2019 to today. On average there has been a 20% increase.  Homes received multiple offers in days, causing buyers in many cases to bid over asking price. June has shown a decline in buyer showings from the previous months. Buyer demand is still strong compared to the same time last year. However, there are changes. Some agents are now going back to traditional marketing to get homes sold. They are doing Public Open Houses and, in some cases, doing price adjustments to attract buyers.Homes that are priced correctly, staged, and updated sell more quickly in this market. Homes in the price range from $250, 000 to... 07/26/2021

There are 21 ways to lose your real estate license well I’m sure more but categorized into 21 ways. I wanted to speak on one specific one today and that is money problems or commingling. This can go as such as an agent receiving money from a principal/clientele for a downpayment, rents, whatever the reason may be and not actually using the money for the purpose of it. For example, an agent gets money for rent and that agent goes and buys a new bed and says they will just return the money. This is so wrong that money is not theirs to spend it was there for them to grab it and take it to the right destination. I mean I understand if something happens and you aren’t physically unable to take the money there but if it continues to be a problem then the real estate agent needs to find anothe... 07/23/2021

Young professionals want their workplaces to be adaptable, with private rooms available when they require them and open areas where they can communicate and collaborate when they do not require them. Businesses must take this into consideration when establishing workplaces for their employees.At the end of the day, they want a workplace that reflects their company's values and philosophy. Staff productivity and retention are likely to be impacted by the use of community as a design approach, as well as organizational culture and well-being.According to Earl Geertgens, the CEO of Accessfloorstore, "a raised floor system can be divided into two basic categories," which are as follows:In most cases, when people hear the phrase 'raised floor,' they immediately think of the traditional post ... 07/23/2021

Over the past 18 months, many hardworking people and businesses have suffered economic losses through no fault of their own.  Some have failed to file tax returns or even pay their taxes.  During the pandemic, the IRS temporarily ceased collection activity.  Due to increased funding and a need to pay for some government actions, the IRS is ramping up their collection efforts.  Using a myriad of techniques including artificial intelligence (AI), the IRS is identifying and pursuing high income (over $100,000 income) non-filers. The IRS is a collection agency, they have many tools at their disposal, the most effective of which are liens and levies.   So, what happens when your client’s assets are encumbered by a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, and they want to sell their house?Take a deep brea... 07/22/2021

According to NAR's 2020 Member Profile report, 4 out of 5 real estate listings are sold by an agent other than the listing agent and about 43% of listings are sold by the agent from a competing brokerage. In my local market the percentage of the listings sold by a competing brokerage is often closer to 70-85%. This clearly shows that brokerages in around my market (Staten Island, NY) are highly cooperative (which is a good thing) but it also shows that there is definitely a big room to improve their bottom line - by putting more marketing efforts into selling their own office listings. After all, double-ending and in-house sales are not dirty words.Just for the record, I do fully support cooperation amongst agents and brokers. Working as a Realtor for the past 15 years, I have had many ... 07/22/2021

If you’re thinking of purchasing a home and will need mortgage financing, keep reading! Many agents recommend getting a pre-qualification letter because the Seller won't even consider your offer without knowing for certain you can get financing for it. My advise....GET Pre-Approved!A Pre-Qualification is not a guaranteed approval. The lender simply pulls and reviews your credit report and bases your approval off of information you provided on your application. In most cases, underwriting has not seen your loan. With a pre-qual, you run the risk of not being approved later if anything you told the lender was incorrect or changes.A Pre-Approval means your application is submitted into underwriting along with your documention (credit report, bank statements, paystubs, W2’s/ or 1099’s, etc)... 07/20/2021

Throughout the Agent Professor real estate course, I have learned about the basic fiduciary duties of a licensee to his/her clients. These duties include accounting, care, confidentiality, disclosure, and obedience. When an agent has clients on both sides of the transaction (buyer and seller), situations can get a bit tricky. It is impossible to completely fulfill the responsibilities to both parties. For this reason, consent must be given by both parties in order to proceed. For example, if you originally signed a listing contract with a seller, your client is the seller. When an unrepresented potential buyer contacts you to find out more information about your listing, you may be asked to represent them, as well. In that case, you would need to find out if your seller would agree for ... 07/18/2021

So you get a title report in and find an IRS Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL) in public records that encumbers the seller’s assets. In a state of panic you realize that this $1.3 million dollar closing next month is in serious jeopardy. You need help to fix this IRS problem like yesterday.Unfortunately, settlement agents and closing attorneys will see more of this in the near future not less. It’s critical to be proactive now and form relationships with specialized tax resolution experts. A target has been placed on the assets of high-income taxpayers by the IRS and they intend to collect by any means necessary. Why now? Part of it relates to COVID-19 and how it slowed IRS enforcement activity because offices closed. A larger factor, however, is a report issued May 29, 2020, by the Tre... 07/18/2021
