Rents on the Rise

When the market dries up and the buyers disappear the rents start to increase. We have seen this before.

Today I got a call from a person looking to rent in the Moreland School district. She has been given her notice from a home she has rented for 6 years because the management have decided to increase her rent. Naturally it's the owners right to do that, but if you ask me even in these times it's better to stick to what you know rather than what you don't know.

If you have something coming up in this rental area soon please let me know.

Agent Agent beware

Ever found yourself just wanting to say "BYE BYE" to a client?

Boy I think the best piece of advice I got this week was from a seminar I did with the Buffini crowd. As a result I will be implementing the Buffini style of referral business into my systems.

I'm looking forward to doing his training next month in Carmel area. What a different approach to finding clients.

Lender Lender beware

For months now I could have told you that the lending industry was going to be investigated. It's about time. Being a migrant to this country allows you to see things differently I feel. You keep your radar on alert all the time for scams or over zealous telemarketers.

When I learnt how a lot of lenders make their money on points I realized that there is something not right with this system. And then when we started to read about companies profiteering from their own people you start to get suspicious about what is going on in the market.

Anyway all I can say if you are looking for a loan have good credit and a good deposit to put into a property now is the time to go shopping for a house! Why? Well you my friend are a lot stronger than a lot of other people. Go to your bank vs your credit union and go direct to the source to get your loan.

Market still hot in Lynbrook School area

I've had a client searching for nearly 3 months for a property and they just can't seem to get into the market.

I have my feelers out there looking for them, they need a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom and have up to 1.4million to spend.

Crazy but true - so don't tell me the market is slowing down - it's up up up but like I've said for a year now it depends on the school district.
