This is a fantastic time of year, being at the half way point, to take an inventory of where we are and to see if we’re on track to accomplish the goals that we had set out to. After taking this inventory, you can identify where your gaps are and with the right models and systems along with a positive culture and environment, you can get yourself on track to accomplishing what you truly want.
In today’s real estate landscape, it is imperative to have a grasp of the short sale industry. Too often, agents simply feel lost and overwhelmed when it comes to how to properly service short sales with their clients. This feeling of overwhelm can lead to reduced sales and a great deal of stress. At Keller Williams Realty East Valley, we have a great number of agents who have mastered the short sale process and one of them is Jill Rother. Jill has decided to share her knowledge with agents at Keller Williams Realty East Valley and elsewhere on Friday’s at our market center. Here is an overview of what was discussed at her most recent class. Be sure to attend our future classes with Jill and you’ll begin to see your confidence and sales increase!

Lead Generation is the lifeblood of our businesses. Without it, we simply won’t survive. If we can create positive habits around the are of effective lead generation, we can experience a thriving real estate practice and re-gain control of our lives. At Keller Williams Realty East Valley, we have a time each morning where our agents come together and practice their scripts and then launch into 2 solid hours of lead generation that we refer to as Power Hour from 9-11. The agents who consistently participate in Power Hour experience dramatic increases in sales. Join us each morning and experience the results for yourself!
Voters in 2008 passed by a margin of 77% to 22% a constitutional amendment to prohibit the state, county or city from charging a transfer fee on the sale of a home. Unfortunately, the ballot measure did not include a prohibition on private transfer fees. Now a new property transfer fee scheme has arisen in which a third-party company enters into an agreement with a developer to record a permanent covenant and lien on each home built. Subsequently, each time that home is sold – for as long as 99 years – a percentage of the sales price is diverted back to the developer and the third-party company. This happens even though the developer and third-party company don’t own the property and don’t pay any portion of the mortgage, remodeling costs or other improvement expenses. This is an abuse of the CC&Rs that are commonly recorded on residential property, an abuse that takes a home seller’s sales proceeds and provides nothing to the homeowner in return except increases in cost. This scheme is a risk-free effort for everyone – except the homeowner.
HB 2768 prohibits this third-party transfer fee scheme from continuing in our state. It has passed both the House and the Senate and awaits Governor Brewer’s signature into law.

This video gives an overview of the project at hand. Please join us on May 13, 2010 for an amazing day of contribution!
Most goals worth having don’t sit right around the corner. Really Big Goals require focused effort over weeks, months, and sometimes years. I’m always asking myself the focusing question: “What is the one thing I should be doing such that everything else would be easier or even unnecessary?” It’s about always identifying my top priority because when you really identify your #1, everything else becomes a distraction. Finding that resolve is one thing; keeping it is challenge. Life happens. It happens every day. Hopefully, this video, Big Rocks, will serve as fun reminder to stay focused on what matters.
