Hey guys- I saw this video a few years ago, and thought of it the other day. It’s a long one, 3.5 hours! However, it’s got some REALLY interesting information in there. Yes, there’s a little conspiracy theory, but look past that for the information it provides. For example, it talks about how the Federal Reserve is owned/backed by private individuals. Most people don’t know that. It gets a little more interesting at about 4 minutes, and then even better at about 10 minutes into it. After that, grab a popcorn and coke and watch the entire show. WOW. If you want to learn more, visit here. I have a few more videos that I need to finish watching, but I’ll post them as well. Again, look past the conspiracy theory and listen to the information provided. Very interesting, indeed. You Donald Trump wannabees will get a kick out of this. 
In a meager attempt to get the ball rolling on this blog, I decided to throw together a quick Top 10 list. Really, I could go on and on about why you should use a REALTOR®, and I had a tough time cutting this list down to just 10 reasons. The benefits far outweigh any reasoning against it. Now, I’ll admit, there are MANY ‘unqualified’ REALTORS® out there, who are not investors themselves, have never done a deal, and really have no clue what a great deal is. Obviously, as a buyer of Investment Property, you would search out the Professionals who specialize in Investments and make the best decision possible before hiring the guy who left a magnetic calendar on your front door. Let’s move forward…
10. Trusted Name Reputation
9. Required to Stay Current with Education
8. Knowledge of the local and national markets, and knows what a great deal is
7. Duty to protect their client’s best interest
6. Licensed by the State & Required by Law to Follow Specific Guidelines
5. Access to MLS where the great majority of property is listed
4. Gives accurate, unbiased Fair Market Values
3. Purchase Contracts & Inspection Periods!
2. Solid Network of Professionals in the Industry who refer deals!
1. FREE!
10. Trusted Name Reputation - As a REALTOR® your name and reputation IS your business. It’s a people business, and if you’re not trusted in the Industry, you’ll starve. Yes, it makes me sick to see the business card with the wife, kids, and retriever all cuddled up together, and I wonder how much business they get off of those car-wraps we see everyday on the freeway. But you have to give them credit that if they had a bad reputation, they surely wouldn’t be plastering it all over their car!
9. Required to Stay Current with Education- The State mandates that you have a specific number of credited hours of education every couple years to maintain your license. Beyond that, there’s not a day in my life that I can’t open my email, go to the office, or talk to my Team without hearing about a seminar, education event, luncheon, etc going on. It’s next to impossible to avoid it! Staying educated is just a day in the life. Read the rest of this entry »
