Do You Believe it First??

"Do You Believe it First?"

Westminster, CO - We have been so fortunate to have great trainers, mentors, and other professionals right HERE in AR.

Along with that, we have met wonderful business minded folks on similar missions... to create a successful business!

How many times have you reviewed your "business plan" or you "daily activity" to ensure you are getting the maximum results from your production?   

Every day, we are exposed to many systems from vendors across the spectrum directed towards real estate agents and what they must have to be successful.

The truth to all of these systems are they were started with a plan, a belief that if incorporated with the right "mindset", you can achieve pretty much what you set out to do.  My opinion, has always been, if ONE person has created wealth by following ONE system as designed, then MANY can do the same thing.

SO... why is that NOT all can achieve the success from any one system?

I think Darren Hardy touches on ONE simple element to the right "mindset"!

You ask, who is Darren Hardy?  Darren, has been the publisher of Success Magazine until just recently.  His goal is to work with 3 million entrepreneurs and CEOs to help create success for them.  He has written many books to help the Entrepreneur types to create the right attitude and efforts, mindset that leads to success.

Please take the time and listen to what Darren briefly talks about in creating the right mindset.

BELIEF IT!

... and NO am not a paid promoter of Darren Hardy.  When I find successful folks, I believe you should follow them and learn from them!  

Becoming a Leader of many successful people is truly a Blessing!

I HOPE this will lead YOU to a very prosperous New Year in the real estate endeavor!!

Take the plunge, and subscribe to Darren Daily!!  

Oh, I have... and you can see that I had the opportunity to meet Darren Hardy, as well, see below photo!!

A Career Buyer Takes The Stage!

Westminster, CO - Must be something in the wind this Fall... but I have finally closed on a buyer I picked up in 2012!!  Yep, my "career buyer", that has made the decision to buy.

I must have shown this family homes in the Wheat Ridge area, a suburb West of downtown Denver, about 40-45 homes over 3 yrs.  A great location for many that want to be 15 minutes from the foothills of the Rocky Mtns, and 15 minutes from downtown Denver.

I met them at an "open house" I conducted in the Wheat Ridge area, and continued to stay with them ever sense.  

So, after losing out on about 4 homes due to competition, a successful win and closing on their new purchase mid-October was very exciting for them, as well as, for me!

I guess the "moral" to this story is... continue to provide a service to a client that trusts you and believes in you, and there will be a "happy ending" for all!

My Wife kept telling me, "patience is a virtue"... she was right, even tho I wanted to slap the snot out of patience!!

A Short Sale Listing to Remember!

A Short Sale Listing to Remember!

Westminster, CO - Wow, what a crazy short sale experience, and I have had many to ponder over!!   Now, mind you... I have done about 70 over the last 15 yrs, and probably 20 of those were assisting other Brokers in my office.

This one takes the cake!!  I have not touched a short sale in about 1.5 yrs, until I was referred to this one in May.  Just to keep it simple, it involved a seller that was in default for 5 yrs.  You wonder how is that?  After, many trial loan mods and a note being bought from one lender to another, it has come down to foreclosure process being started last December 2014.

I normally do not work my own buyers on my short sales, and it is probably a good thing I did on this one!  The buyer was a very good prospect that just wanted this property no matter how long it took or what was involved.  Good thing, too!!

The seller was a bit difficult to work with, but we managed to make it happen, and closed last week.  Patience with the seller to move into a rental was somewhat of the delay, but so was working the 1st and 2nd lienholders.

Bottom line to all of this, and sort of makes me NOT want to see another short sale for some time, was the lost commissions to make this work.

The 1st lienholder was a complete pay-off, since the BPO was about $35,000 higher than the TOTAL pay-off amount. Simple right?  Well, not at first.  The offer we had in hand was about $15,000 over that pay-off.  Remember, when a lienholder has total pay-off with and an offer in hand that is over than amount, they DO NOT care about selling costs, that is your problem as they stated to us.

Simple solution... eliminate the 1st lienholder, get them payed off by getting the purchase price closer to the BPO value.  Not to satisfy the 1st lienholder, but to have funds to work the 2nd lienholder.  There was not much motivation within this process, since these 2 loans were attached to a chapter 7 bankruptcy.  They had no recourse with the borrower, seller.

 A fun ending here!!  

So, the buyer increased their offer by $13,000, and I decreased my commission by $18,000 (stupid or get it done?).  Got the 2nd lienholder paid off at $14,000, the 1st paid off at $455,000.  

You wonder what happens when a borrower is behind for 5 yrs?  Well, the balance in default was $320,000!!  Making accrued interest and back payments a value of $135,000 (including attorney fees).  For that total pay-off $455,000.

YES, that was my face, Linda Blair above, for about one hour!!  My good deed for the year!!  $8,000 commission better than a kick in the teeth, as my Mother would tell me!!

"Spooky or NOT, What Do Your Laws Say?"

 

Westminster, CO - It is that time of the year, again, when "things that go bump in the night", and the "howling of a dog or Wolf", the shadows in the night seem to come alive and the smell of burning leaves and pumpkins fill the air, FALL has arrived and so has Halloween!! 

When I opened my email, this morning, I received my "Daily eNews" email from the RE/MAX Alliance group!  Within that email was one article that seemed appropriate based on the time of the year and the continued issue on whether to disclose a ghost or a "known" haunting of a home!

I find this an interesting topic, especially, when every State has their own set of laws (rules) as to the disclosure requirement to the potential Home Buyers!   As well as, the disclosure or NOT for the Home Sellers!

Of course, we all should abide to the laws and rules as established by our own State and Real Estate Commissions!!

 

Take our State for example, Colorado.   We DO NOT disclose this information, for if doing so, we are in violation of Laws that protect the Home Seller!   It has been determined that such items as, ghosts and hauntings would stigmatize the property and HARM the Seller's home values!

So, with that being said!!  What are your thoughts and what does your State require!

 

Now, remember to be kind to my blog!!

"Change, What Is It Good For?"

"Change, What Is It Good For?"

Westminster, CO- Change!  All of our life we have learned that change is always going to take place!  Whether necessary or not!

We incorporate "change" to do our best at achieving a desirable outcome.  As in many cases, that change DID NOT help us to achieve what we had assumed it would.  So, we change again, for what? 

To feel good about doing something rather than nothing at all?  Yet, there is another element to all of these changes!  Yes, the reluctance to change!!  

How many feel that they do not want to take the time to change?  It is "uncomfortable" to get out of the routine I am in.  This is HOW we have always done it.  I have my comfort zone and do not see the need to "change"!

What's the one thing that we hear over and over in regards to "fighting the need to change"?  Insanity, is the need to keep doing the same things over and expecting a different outome.

If it's not working, then why not get out of your comfort zone, and work harder and smarter at the same time!!  We all aspire to create success, but do we really??

What are YOU willing to do, to change YOUR LIFE, in order to take charge of your financial and personal growth?  Learn how to get out of the way of yourself!!

"Develop Confidence To Create Success!"

Westminster, CO - Every Now and Then, you come across a very important Speech that can give a person that "AH HA" moment!!  

Recently, I was sent a youtube video of a speech done many years ago, by Art Williams.

For those of you that do not know Art, he was a football coach that become one of the wealthiest Insurance company owners in the country!!  His encouragement is fantastic and his belief in the philosphy of "Just do it", is tremendous!  Enjoy his speech!




 I certainly hope you can learn from this video, how powerful your abliities can take you once you develop the "mindset" that anything is possible with the right attitude and confidence!!
