First Blog Posts

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen I have recently started taking my real estate classes and was instructed to do a blog on this page. I have read a few blogs from a few months ago to recent. I chose a topic from my class as money fraud as the title states and the reason I chose it was because I as a trainee to this amazing profession never really thought about or even heard about agents doing this to their clients. I done a few google researches and saw a lot of scams on this and how to avoid it but I wonder how legit those are as well. If anyone has information on them feel free to let me know because as a new soon to be agent I am curious to know what to be informed of and how to deal with those situations if any ever occur. Thank you your comment will be appericate and I hope to po... 03/31/2021

Moving is always stressful especially if you moving long-distance.There are a few ways to move to Miami - renting a van and moving with help of your friends or hiring some movers to help you load and unload the truck, hiring van lines, if you are flexible with the delivery days, or hiring a local moving company who can help you with express delivery.Renting a van is always a good idea if you have some moving experience and want to save some cash, and also a pretty strong person because it requires a lot of power to move couches, boxes, and other heavy stuff. It's definitely impossible to move alone, that's why you have to make sure you ask a couple of your friends or hire helpers to help you with a task. Moving takes a lot of energy and is very stressful, that's why in some cases saving... 03/30/2021

As agents, Real estate professionals have a responsibility to act honestly and to put their clients first. This is clearly stated throughout an agents licensing training. The National Association of Realtors Code of Ethics set the standard for Realtor business practices. This means that any REALTOR you work with has voluntarily agreed to abide by the Code Of Ethics. These Ethics are one of the best safety measures for an agent and their clients. When you set out to buy or sell a house, there is a lot of money on the line. A consumer needs to know that they can trust their agent. Which is why Honesty is mentioned twice in both Article 1 and 12 in the Code of Ethics. Real Estate professionals are held to certain standards to keep their clients, customers, general public, and other agents ... 03/06/2021

While Cambridge is technically outside of the City of Boston, data trends in the housing market and in particular the rental market in Cambridge closely mirror that of Boston.  Both are highly cyclical markets that depend heavily on apartment turnover from the local student population.  So while Boston’s rental market is reeling due to inventory spikes, it should come as no surprise that the same supply issues are occurring in Cambridge.Cambridge may be best known as the home of two famous universities:  Harvard and MIT.  Like most of the area’s Universities, both adopted remote learning for the 2020-2021 school year, severely hampering the influx of students we normally see in September.   As a result, the real estate market in Cambridge has experienced quite a bit of fluctuation in te... 02/18/2021

"21 ways to lose your real estate license" it sounds like a Paul Simon song. If you lose it, it's time to "make a new plan, Stan".  Though there are many ways to lose a real estate license, one that is pretty interesting to me is the False Advertising. With all of the ways to market these days it seems like we are surrounded by click bate and mislead around every corner. This is true when it comes to online shopping, politics, and even subscriptions and memberships. I feel victim to this recently when I purchased a family pass to the local aquarium. They had no mention of any attractions being closed, but once we got in we found that all of the attractions that our children enjoyed were closed due to covid policies. To top it off when we asked for a refund they said they were not offeri... 02/04/2021

         When a client trusts a real estate agent with their transaction, that real estate agent has fiduciary duties that are important to follow. The client need to know that their confidentiality will be safe and that agent will remain loyal. When an agent breaks that trust, they are breaking their reputation as well as their broker's reputation. A real estate agent has a potential to ruin a clients life if they break that confidentiality, as an agent you need to remain loyal to that confidentiality and your client.          Accounting is a huge part of a real estate transaction and you as an agent are responsible in making sure money goes where it's supposed to. Clients are trusting you as their agent to handle their money and not lose it. Accounting definately ties into another way... 01/28/2021

A larger house has several advantages, including more space for your family, more room for entertaining, and the chance to designate specific areas as an office. However, the decision to purchase a bigger home should not be taken lightly, as bigger houses cost significantly more to purchase and maintain. If you are considering purchasing a larger property, below are a few signs that indicate it is time to do so: You Don't Have Enough Storage Space Mounds of clothing on furniture and floors, books everywhere, and kitchen appliances and other items cluttering up your kitchen are indications that you need more space. Not only does clutter hinder movement, but it can also leave you feeling stressed and prove to be a fire hazard. There is also the risk of attracting vermin such as rats and c... 01/09/2021

Looking back at 2020 has certainly not been fun. Many of us probably wish we could wipe the slate clean and start over. I certainly do, this year was suppose to be an exciting year of personal and professional accomplishments...and wait... it WAS. Central New York real estate was one for the books. COVID struck and shut down our industry for what seemed like years, but we came back with avengance. Buyers showed their will to move into homeownership, and many sellers realized they needed out of the state. Regardless, I was there with them every step of the way, all 48 of them. Yes, in 2020 I excelled with selling 48 homes! That averages to almost one home under contract each week. Not too shabby for a "rookie" agent on her 3rd year. But, this was no easy feat. My first two years of Real ... 12/21/2020

In brosing the blog posts here I noticed a post about Unauthorized Consideration. Some knew the term. Some had never heard it. For those unfamiliar with the term:Paying or offering to pay valuable consideration, as defined by the commission, to a person not licensed, except that valuable consideration may be shared as follows:- With a principal broker of another jurisdiction.- As provided under: Title 16, Chapter 10a, Utah Revised Business Corporation Act; Title 16, Chapter 11, Professional Corporation Act; or Title 48, Chapter 2c, Utah Revised Limited Liability Company Act, or Title 48, Chapter 3a, Utah Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act.When a person, not a licensed agent, might give you a referral. If this happens, you will need to remember not to give or even offer them a... 12/05/2020

I represent taxpayers in Leander and the rest of Texas who have civil and criminal tax issues, and have recently seen an uptick in those folks coming to us who have not filed tax returns, some for many years. In fact, the non-filer is a major priority for the IRS, who have stated publicly that they have identified more than 7 million taxpayers who have failed to file returns, and that the IRS plans to roll-out an initiative to target these tax scofflaws.In addition, it is worth noting that the willful failure to file a tax return is a federal tax crime under the Internal Revenue Code's Section 7203.So what can non-filers do, and how can we help them get their tax return issue resolved with the IRS? It depends upon why they failed to file in the first-place.If the failure to file the tax... 11/29/2020
