Performance Evaluation Software For Your Real Estate Office

Managing a real estate office can be a consuming task for even the most experienced industry professionals. Organizing a marketing plan, delegating incoming sales leads, and balancing the needs of however many agents work within the office is often an overwhelming task and can sometimes lead to overlooking employee performance.

While making sure your real estate office runs smoothly and efficiently, also making sure your team of real estate professionals are working diligently to follow up with clients and close deals is of course a top priority. If you run your own real estate brokerage, there’s nothing more frustrating than employing agents that don’t take the necessary steps towards being a successful Realtor.

Real Estate Contacts, Inc. To Launch Video Channel

Real Estate Contacts, Inc. has just announced their company’s development of a National Online Real Estate Video Channel. A video platform for Real Estate pros is not something new, but this company’s variant does look interesting.

Real Estate Contacts, Inc. operates several online portals for real estate agents, www.realestatecontacts.com, the press concerning this new video channel speaks of connecting agents and potential buyers in specific or targeted geographic areas.

Slated to feature videos, slide shows, and tours of properties, the new media channel is slated to go live soon, according to the news. Robert DeAngelis, CEO & President of Real Estate Contacts, Inc., offers this about the upcoming development:

“Our business is on a very good trajectory, and we think there’s significant growth in the company over the next few years. Being one of our affiliates, real estate professionals will have their own real estate video channel that will have a powerful way for them to differentiate themselves from other agents online, and can even help them to secure more listings.”

DeAngelis goes on to discuss video marketing as the most viable channel for his company’s affiliates and partners in the coming months. Of particular note for this writer, if DeAngelis’ social media engagement is an indicator the new Realtor channel may be a bit one sided. 13,000 plus Twitter followers, many of whom are not real, shows Internet engagement of a kind. Similarly, 4,000 likes with only 3 people discussing, and a steep slope of the “likes” curve with no major press campaign, this is not a two way social engagement. Not in my view.

Video is a vital component of any muti-channel business engagement online. However, people interested in using video for the purposes of growing their business should be appraised, good media is expensive to produce and there are no guarantees (unless you buy them) that your target market will ever be reached. For a channel to be viable it takes a massive influx of traffic, combined with other marketing and ad elements. Companies like AgentImage.tv and channels like RealEstateChannel.ca, along with dozens of others, may offer suitable solutions for your endeavors too.

As always, we suggest readers do their homework and due diligence before adapting any ad, marketing, or PR plan of action. We leave you with video hosted both on YouTube and the Canada Real Estate Channel mentioned above. It’s from Condo One Property Management.

For Savvy Investors, Here’s Good News On US Real Estate Investment

Out of ignorance or fear of the unknown or both, many Nigerian investors don’t tap into the opportunities offered by foreign property market where, interestingly, the market is better structured than what we have down here.

Little or nothing do such investors know that in the United States of America, for instance, there are homes selling at 50 percent below market price from which they can earns at least 20 percent rental income per annum.

International Property Consortium (IPC), an international property investment company, which gave this in Lagos recently, adds that the US market also harbours homes that double in value in three years.

The company, which has offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Abuja, says they are out to identify the best global investment opportunities and package investments to create wealth for their customers, adding that with an in depth understanding of the investment interest of Nigerians, they tailor unrivalled real estate investment solutions for smart investors in the best real estate markets in the world.

According to Wuraola Akinola, IPC’s administrative assistant, the company has an unrivalled network of real estate professionals as well as a team of analysts on ground in the USA and around the world, ensuring their clients not only get the best homes on the market, but also the best after sales service to ensure a hassle-free investment.

“From our years of experience and comprehensive due diligence process, we are able to pre-select properties in only the areas that offer the best promise for return on investment.

“Our team handles every step of your investment, from purchase to property management, and legal to taxation so you can be rest assured that you will have a lifetime of transparent, reliable and secure investment in the world’s most lucrative property market.

The majority of our clients purchase several properties over the period of their investment, and it is for this reason that we build our operation on trust, relationships and the success of our client’s investments,” he assures.

In an answer to why investors and home seekers should invest or buy in US, Akinola explains that houses are cheap at the moment because of the global financial crisis, purchase process is simple and safe; US rental market remains vibrant and profitable, and US properties are now rising in value at moderate pace.

He reveals that the main requirement to buy US real estate is cash, if the buyer wants to buy through their company. “If you want to do it yourself, you need to engage the services of an agent, an attorney, and a tax accountant. If the house needs repairs, you will need to engage the services of a repair contractor. If you want to rent out the property, you will need to engage the services of a property manager. IPC has all these professionals under its umbrella, so that all you need to buy a US property is just cash,” he emphasises.

He advises that it is better and easier to pay cash because financing options are not so many for non-resident foreigners in US, adding that financial institutions in the US hardly give out loans to foreigners except they are resident in the US and have a good job and a great credit rating.

“There are some financing options that could be explored but they come with strict conditions. If you are purchasing a house for investment, you’d in all probability meet stricter terms. Since the homes are cheap, we advise our clients to pay cash,” he says.
