Relocation TimelineAbout one month away from your move, you'll want a detailed checklist to make sure nothing is forgotten.  Four weeks to go: Call moving companies for a free estimate. Cost will vary depending on distance, weight and optional services. Look through your house to determine items to be discarded or donated to charity. Have a garage sale! Inform schools of transfer. Make arrangements for enrollment/registration in new schools if necessary. Most homeowner's policies do not provide adequate coverage for moving. Check with your agent and consider purchasing additional coverage from a moving company. Begin collecting boxes with covers if you plan to pack your belongings. You can purchase packing materials through moving companies or contact local grocery stores for extra box...

Appraisal Basics An appraisal of real estate is the valuation of the rights of ownership. The appraiser must define the rights he intends to appraise. The appraiser does not create value, the appraiser interprets the market to arrive at a value estimate. As the appraiser compiles data pertinent to a report, consideration must be given to the site and amenities as well as the physical condition of the property. An appraiser may spend only a short time inspecting the property, however, this is only the beginning. Considerable research and collection of general and specific data must be accomplished before the appraiser can arrive at a final opinion of value. Due to the many types of value, such as Fair Market Value, Insurance Value, Tax Value and Value In Use, the need to precisely defin...

I recently had a friend who also happens to buy 4 to 10 properties a year from me refer me to another investor that as we talked he kept saying over and over Charles, James said you were THAT GUY. When I was looking for investment property to flip, property to hold and rent out for resale later, someone that could manage the property and handle the collection of rents as well as repairs etc. You were THAT GUY.  He went on to say when I told James that I needed to make at least $15 K a month of my investments, oh yea you were so THAT GUY. The first property he bought three months ago was a 3 bedroom 2 bath 1400 square foot rental for $6100. We did a little over $12000 in repairs and sold it this month for $49,900. He has two others we are working on. Yes I am so THAT GUY if you are consi...

Not all of them will close this month but all have come in and are currently looking. I have to admit I got this idea from my "By Referral Only" group and reworded it to fit my buyers agents. Dear Tenant, I recently sold a home to a tenant, probably just like you that lives in your apartment complex and the government gave them a check for $8000. I have put together some info on all the terms and would be happy to mail it to you free or you can stop buy the office located right around the corner at 139 E. Burgess Rd. I will be hosting short talks about the Tax advantages for new home owners and of course how to get $8000 bucks in about 60days..this Friday night from 6 pm to 7 pm and again on Saturday morning from 10am to 11 pm. Please reserve you seat ASAP because I only have room for 9...

My wife and two of my daughters go to the same hair stylist every month as a standing appointment. The appointment is at 6:30 and always on a Tuesday. Throughout the year I get a phone call a month before their birthdays, at valentine and Christmas reminding me and asking if I would like flowers and a gift card sent to them. When I got the call for my daughters birthday I decided I would go and meet this lady that was so attentive and made me look so good to my wife and girls. I went over and as I walked in I was greeted by a very nice recepionist. Who ask if I would like a soda or cup of coffee (starbucks no doubt). As I sat waiting I could watch TV on one of their three TVs a and they even had headsets in case I wanted to watch something different than the others waiting. As it was 10...

Memories of my childhood came back this week as I walked into my local K-mart and heard those famous words " Blue Light Special " on isle 10. In the 70's especially around Christmas Mom would load up us 7 kids and head to the local K-mart where we would spend the day shopping and picking out what we wanted for Christmas and then sometime later before Christmas, Mom would go and shop trying to catch each item we wanted on the Blue light special. Mom was always the best shopper and we were never disappointed. I talked briefly with the store manager who said the Blue Light has certainly made their business pick up on the weekends. K-mart is truly an icon and to see them bounce back from near extinction is a remarkable story in itself. The news is looking very good for K-mart as well as the...

I received a BPO order the other day and the e-mail said the home was vacant and need pictures of inside and outside. I thought no problem, when I arrived at the home I saw a car in the driveway and a man cutting the lawn. The garage door was open and it was anything but vacant. I ask the guy if he lived there and explained to him what I was doing there. He said he was renting from the previous owner and had been for the past four months. I went back to the office and called the bank and about an hour later they called me to tell me no one was suppose to be there and that owner was quit claiming it back to the bank. The back said that the previous owner would meet me at the property and to let them knwo what the final out come was. When I got back there the owner and the police were tal...

Please feel free to add why you chose your town, city or state. Here in Pensacola, Florida it was the employment that brought me here but the beaches and lifestyle is what keeps me here. As a Realtor I would think you and I could  live anywhere we wanted with maybe a few adjustments. Are schools important? Is it the crime or lack there of? Is it the entertainment? Places to eat? Employment or available job market? Charles Stallions, CRS, CSP, CBR, CDPS, SREE, EREI - 800-309-3414, a leader in real estate investing, buying and selling.

Avoiding common mistakes can make the home buying process simpler and less stressful. With almost 33 years of buying experience, I have made a few mistakes to say the least. Now I teach others how to avoid them and put equity in their pocket. 1. Not doing your homework. Enter the market well-prepared by researching location, school district, deed restrictions and taxes.  2. Trying to make a shrewd investment. Focus on finding the best place for you and your family to live rather than trying to predict the real estate market.  3. Choosing a poor location. Consider what part of town you would like to live in and avoid homes located on busy streets.  4. Overlooking an inferior floor plan for an attractive exterior. Choose a great floor plan over a great exterior because you'll spend far m...

Your listing has expired and now you're wondering what to do. The most important question you must ask is, "Where did I go wrong?". The answer is not usually within you, but with the agent you entrusted. Be prepared with the right information so you can interview your prospective agent with confidence and assure you make the right choice this time. With hundreds or even thousands of dollars at stake and weeks of time invested, don't risk making the same mistake twice. Make sure your next agent is eminently qualified to sell your home. Don't risk this decision out of obligation to a friend, family member or acquaintance. Your listing has expired and it's easy to develop the identity of having a problem property in the market place. Therefore, it's vital important to choose the right age...

Attention: For Sale By Owners!Why People Are Afraid To Buy From You! Many homeowners believe that to maximize their profit on a home sale they should sell it themselves. At first glance, they feel selling a home is simple and why should they pay a broker fees for something they could do themselves? In fact, close to 25% of all the homes sold last year were sold for sale by owner (FSBO). However, close to half of the FSBO's said that they would hire a professional next time they sold. Thirty percent said they were unhappy with the results they achieved by choosing FSBO. Why? Many FSBO's told us that the time, paperwork and everyday responsibilities involved were not worth the amount of money they saved in commissions. For others, the financial savings were even more disappointing. By th...
