I have a job as a teacher already. I’m trying to get my feet wet with real estate and hopefully create retirement type wealth. I don’t have any kind of family background in real estate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I live in Orlando.

Hello,
I have several (around 100) vacant lots I inherited from my family and I have been warned to be careful about finding a good real estate agent. The lots are in Southern Texas in a very small town, and I live in Central Texas. Not sure what people might recommend as far finding a good real estate agent or what some good companies or websites might be. There are no buildings on these lots, but they all are in a small town.

Thanks

I’m looking to move back to my hometown of Pittsburgh and need to find a real estate agent. Where should I look? I need someone patient and ethical as I do not have a large down payment to work with.

I can get a $1,000 referral by saying a friend referred me (he is suppose to get the money but he is giving it to me cause he’s a friend…). But, would the real estate agent be able to give me a better price on the overall home? Should the real estate agents price override that $1,000 cash? How do I get the best deal?

Thanks.
FYI, the $1,000 is for community members to refer their friends (my friend is not a real estate agent).

EXCELLENT point on the real estate agent…they get 6% around here and the house I’m thinking of costs $118,000. I could “save” them almost $8,000 by going at it alone.

We have a kid who just got into college and we are thinking of what to invest in so that when he is out of college the investment can be handed over to him. We were considering Real Estate and Stocks. Which is preferable?

I’m planning on going to college (don’t know what career I’m going for) but I’m wondering if real estate is a good career to get into, if it is a financially stable career, and how hard it is to get into it.

My dad is a public school teacher but he became a millionare investing in real estate. His advise is to hire the “youngest and hottest real estate dame in town”. He says they get more people interested in their properties and they are harder to say no to when working through a deal. He sounds like a pig to me on this one but it has worked for him. Any one with experience on this one because I need to find a good agent.

My friend, I know you are planning to invest in real estate as it is the best investment avenue in the present modern world.

In fact real estate market has its own charm always as there will be property transactions each and every day. Home is a primary requirement of any human and many are out there in the market looking for great deals.

How can you assure of getting a great deal?

I know that you know the answer. But I want to emphasize the importance of the real estate brokers. Real estate brokers can make the great difference in your investment opportunity.

Many people asked me how to distinguish between a good broker and a bad broker. In fact you also asked me the same question earlier, right?

Let me give you some effective tips for you in identifying an excellent real estate broker.

If you are looking for your dream home through a real estate broker, you have to approach a reputed real estate broker. He will have the reputation only because of his many years of experience and his admirable service to the buyers and sellers. He would have been the facilitator for a buyer to get his dream home and for a seller to get good value for his property.

Next factor to be considered is the experience. You have to find out good real estate brokers. Especially you see that your broker knows in and out of the real estate market in the locality of your interest. An experienced broker will know the good and bad of the property you are identifying. He will know about the local market price of the properties as well.

Good real estate brokers will act as negotiators between the seller and buyer. He will never take the role of a spoke person of any one side, especially of the seller. He will be a patient listener to the needs of the buyer.

You have to approach a real estate broker who has many properties listed for sale. Similarly he should have a good client base of sellers and buyers, so that the deal can be easily materialized.

Good real estate brokers will have strong small group who are ready to serve the customers as and when requires. They will do all processes on behalf of sellers and buyers, including the documentation.

Good real estate brokers will classify the properties in to number of groups based on location, price tags, facilities and other factors. As a buyer this will help you in narrowing down the search.

Good real estate brokers will always give good advices on the repairs and modifications required on the property. He will bring the notice of the buyer the disadvantages of the property as well.

You can check with your family members or friends who had dealings with the real estate broker of your selection. This is a best way to identify real estate brokers.
