Real Estate

I’ve been doing quite a lot of apartment searching, both on my own and through a realtor. A few days ago, I come across a website of a management company with a number of apartments that look nice, so I fill out an inquiry directly to the company to hear more about them.

Afterward, I meet up with a realtor to see a few apartments she’s representing. Before we go see anything, my fiancee and I of course have to sign the standard form stating that the realty is "introducing us to properties, owners, and management companies" and that if we rent with one of them, we’re obligated to pay the realty a fee of one month’s rent.

So she shows us a few places, one of which is owned by the management company I had mentioned finding earlier on my own. Ironically enough, none of the keys to the unit work, so we don’t get past the lobby.

Today I hear back from the company who will show us some places tomorrow. If I sign a lease with the company rep tomorrow, will I have to pay a fee?

Read your copy of the agreement that you signed. That will tell you a lot — then find out from your agent if the management company where you are going to rent will pay her commission. The answer will probably be a yes and everyone will be happy. If they don’t cooperate with Brokers then you will need to comply with the agreement that you signed.

A Bachelor man, Rohan is excited as today he would be meeting a girl called Pushpa along with his parents and decide whether or not she would be his life partner or not. Rohan and his parents meet the girl and his parents and they do not approve the girl, as she is dark in colour. That night when Rohan goes to sleep, he sees a dream. In the dream he comes across a Jinn just like the one in the story ALLADIN.

Jinn: “ O my master, what can I do for you”?

Rohan: “ Oh! You are just like the Jinn I had read in ALLADDIN. Well, can you get me a beautiful girl whom I can marry?”

Jinn: “ Yes Master! As you say”

Within a blink of the eye, the Jinn is present with a beautiful fair girl with lovely wide eyes who is dressed in a bridal outfit.

Rohan: “ Wow! She is so beautiful.”

Rohan asks the girl her name. The Girl identifies herself.

The girl: “ My name is Dream”

Rohan: “ Where do you hail from? I mean are you an Indian ?”

Dream: “ I live in your subconscious. I can visit you only when you are asleep”

Rohan: “ You mean I can never get to marry you in reality?”

Dream: “ No.”

Rohan: “ O Jinn why the hell have you brought this girl who does not exist in reality?”

Jinn: “ Because Master, she is the most beautiful girl according to you and as she said, she lives in your subconscious. Well you can enjoy being with her as long as you are asleep. The same with me, I shall vanish as soon as you wake up.”

Rohan: “ Then how can I get nearer to her in reality?”

Jinn: “ Well, it is possible only in one situation, I can put her inside the body of Pushpa whom you and your parents rejected this evening”

Rohan: “ But Pushpa is dark and Dream is exactly the opposite of her in appearance”

Jinn: “ But at least you alone would be knowing that inside Pushpa exists your Dream.”

Rohan: “ Well but Pushpa is not the delight of my eyes and not only that, others will laugh at me for marrying Pushpa”

Jinn: “ Well, then the world you live in is really ridiculous because they want to run away from realties. We here who live in your dreams know that Materialistic Perfection does not exist in the real world that you live in.”

At this point Rohan wakes up from his sleep and just ponders over his dream. He takes a decision there and there that he would marry Pushpa and he conveys this to his parents who somehow are convinced by Rohan but they are as astonished as to what changed his decisions overnight.

Rohan: “ Well Mom and Dad, there is nothing like perfect beauty. Contentment is what truly makes everything look beautiful”

What according you is the philosophy that Rohan has imbibed from the Jinn ? Do you agree personally to the conclusions drawn by Rohan after he wakes up ?

settle for what you can get because perfection and idealism is just a far fetched fantasy

I agree to a degree, but not entirely

Perfection may not exist but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek anything that is as near to perfection as you can. If we all settle for what we can get, then is there any point in pursuing anything in life?

I agree that happiness and contentment is key and it’s what make anything beautiful. However, there are degrees of happiness as well.

For me there is a threshold that I must exceed in order to be happy and satisfied witht he degree of happiness that I have, so in a way I set goals and criteria to what i am looking for. In this sense, I am seeking perfection.

I don’t agree with projecting an image onto others. This is like saying you want to cloud your own mind of your free will and deny reality for what it is. At the same time, you are not seeing the truth that you are in. It’s like another way of living in a fantasy or running away from your ‘problems’.

I am interested in what you think

Hope this helps

I understand how to get the lic, I have completed the neccessary education requirements and am testsing today.

I live in a rural area and the offices here are C21, Remax, V.I.P. and Realty Executive. I am Military and will be ending that career in about a year and a half.

I have talked with C21 and Realty Executives, they said they will hire me part time, I have been a Recruiter and held other sales postions. I am leaning to C21 becasue its closer to my home and the area in whcih I want to market.

I have read quite a few comments telling people to stay away fom part timers but I cannot quite my job and I have to feed my family so I thought I would get a jump start on a new career.

When deciding on who to work for what should I look for. Any advice would be appriciated.

First of all, good luck on your test.

Now, you’re about to go into business for yourself, no matter where you decide to hang your license remember that they are not "hiring" you. It sounds like you are in an excellent position to transition from the military to your own business. When decided on a company to hang your license with I always suggest to new agents to go with a company that has a good support structure and training. This type of company generally offers a less than generous commission split but that’s the price you have to pay for training and education. I believe in Missouri you have to be an active agent for 1 year ( i could be completely off here so check you local regulations) before getting your brokers license. That’s certainly something to think about giving your time frame to retirement from the military. Spend the next year or so learning the business and marketing yourself and then consider getting your brokers license.
Good luck in your new career and thank you for serving our country in your current career!

Theres a house that the homeowners where selling before it got foreclosed with a reality company, well no one bought it and then the new bank got a new realty company to sell it and the new realty Company has removed items from the house ie: wood stove, light fixtures.. I made an offer for this property when these items where there i just went by it today and noticed this. the house is lock with their key and it is no off the market so no one is showing it. the original realtor told me that the new realty company was asking about some of these items a week ago. what can i do or say and to whom do i report this to?
* it is OFF the market
Yes, I have made an offer and awaiting a response from the bank.. the house has been removed from the listing. and yes the contract says excepts house as is with a list of appliances, etc. there is alot of random junk in the house and the realtor called and ask if we wanted the house with all the stuff there and we said yes. It sems they came in and took all the good stuff and left all the junk and trash there…

So the question goes if your a realtor you can help yourself to items in a house? that seems illegal to me,

Unless you noted these items in your offer, then I’m afraid they are gone. There isn’t much you can do with proof that they were there.

Are you feeling the crunch of this market in your wallet? Well, most agents are and it’s a valuable lesson learned about how to look at your business so that it always makes money. I see my real estate business as a living, breathing money-maker that just likes to live on a diet of variety. Feed it the same old stuff every day and it runs to the corner and growls at you. Give it something new and tasty and it will run to greet you at the door! The point is that you can’t look at your business for what it is today but rather what it COULD be. Create constant momentum by implementing radical change without being afraid of the results. Positive change creates a very natural “ripple effect” that automatically boosts your results many times over without any extra effort. I am making extra tens of thousands of dollars each month with some radical “reversals” of how I give and sell my real estate services to clients.

I work cutting yards mainly realty companies and low end apartments. The apartments I did today I took a worker to help me with it.He has always done a great job except this time.I had him start the hedges and he butchered them til only a little green here and there was left they were box hedges. He was so pro7ud of himself but I am wondering if they will grow back with green leaves covering them again.He not all there.If not next spring I will be digging up roots and replacing them for free. He is not a bad worker just over does himself and takes great pride. If I go fertilze them with miracle grow or something do you think they have a chance of coming back to green leaves they are mostly brown liumbs now with specks of green.I live in hot Georgia.Not cooling off til October or november.

Don’t fertilize. The shrubs are very stressed right now and fertilizing them will likely kill them. Since they are boxwood, they will probably grow back just fine, but it’s going to take months. Make sure they get enough water in the heat. Reassess them in the spring. For now, the best thing to do is leave them alone and let them recover from the shock.
