Careers worth having

Gary Keller notes on the cover of The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, his best-selling guide to success without limits in real estate: “It’s not about the money. It’s about being the best you can be!" Having studied the systems used by thousands of the highest producing agents in North America, Keller Williams has created the model for what it takes to succeed in real estate and reinforces its winning models through training, coaching, educational events and a best-selling series of publications.


Businesses worth owning

The Keller Williams perspective is that real estate is a local business driven by individual associates and their presence within their communities. It’s a perspective that stems from Gary Keller’s deep conviction that the agent, not the company is the brand, and that the company’s primary role is to help agents to build their own brand and grow their own businesses – beyond simply selling real estate.

Lives Worth Living

Great riches only matter to the extent that they fund a great life with great meaning. Keller Williams Realty is defined by a culture of agents who care deeply about each other and are committed to having a positive impact on their clients and their communities. Indeed, the focus of Quantum Leap, Gary Keller’s signature training class is on discovering and achieving one’s life mission. Keller Williams Realty is a company that changes lives.

MEGA CAMP and FAMILY REUNION are DON'T MISS events (just to name a few). These are for new agents, seasoned agents, ALL agents! Take your business to the next level with Keller Williams!

Baltimore Real Estate News for Investors

Baltimore Real Estate News for Investors

Interest rates for investment properties are the lowest in the history.  That almost guarantees that you can find cash-flow properties.  If you invest $20,000 and get a $250 monthly positive cash-flow, that's $3,000 a year -- or a 15 percent return on your investment, not including the appreciation.  So your asset is growing and your cash-flow is significant.  We're helping investors get a 15% return!  Heck, my bank only gives me 1 percent!

The Home Selling Process: Staging Your Home

The Home Selling Process:  Staging Your Home
Baltimore Home Sellers Guide  
 

Three things to remember:

1.You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

2.A review of over 2,800 properties in 8 cities found that staged homes, on average, sold in half the time that non-staged homes did.

3.Most buyers make decisions about the property they see within the first 15 seconds of entering the home.

What Can Staging Do?
 

Location	Cannot be changed
Size	Difficult to change
Amenities	Can be changed
Condition	Can be changed

 

Adding cost-effective amenities and improving the general cleanliness and condition of the home is what we call “staging.”

When a seller stages their home, one of two things happens:

1. The home becomes more valuable than other comparable properties in that price range.

2.The home gets moved up in price and becomes the lowest priced in the next higher price bracket or category.*

*Based on the national best-seller

SPEAKERS

John O'Leary - Agent Mastermind

John O'Leary is proof of the power of the human spirit. As a nine-year-old boy, John was burned on 100% of his body and given less than one percent to survive. He endured months in the hospital, years in therapy, dozens of surgeries, and lost all his fingers to amputation. Despite the odds, he not only survived - but thrived.

John is a college graduate, business owner, hospital chaplain, international speaker, husband and father. His presentations have been described as “captivating, amazing and life-changing.” With emotional story-telling and great humor, John challenges and empowers every audience to dream again, re-ignite their passion and take positive action.

Marcus Buckingham - Leadership Mastermind

Marcus Buckingham graduated from Cambridge University in 1987, with a master’s degree in social and political science.  During his seventeen years with The Gallup Organization, Buckingham helped lead research into the world’s best leaders, managers, and workplaces.  He drew on this research and used it as the basis for multiple bestselling books: First, Break All the Rules: What the World’s Best Managers Do Differently (coauthored with Curt Coffman) and Now Discover Your Strengths (coauthored with Donald O. Clifton), and The One Thing You Need to Know (The Free Press).  Marcus’ latest book, Go Put Your Strengths To Work, was released to great acclaim in March 2007.

A subject of in-depth profiles in The New York Times, Fortune, and Fast Company, Marcus Buckingham, now an independent consultant, author, and speaker, is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on employee productivity and the practices of leading and managing.  He is a member of the Secretary of State’s Advisory Committee on Leadership and Management.  He lives with his wife and two children in Los Angeles.

Ownership costs are dropping below rental costs!

Ownership costs are dropping below rental costs!

The recent downturn in the housing market resulted in a drop in rental rates, but rents are back on the rise while the cost of ownership has dropped.  As average apartment rental rates have slightly decreased, the decline has been moderate in comparison to home values nationwide by 30 to 40 percent since the peak of the housing boom.  For more reasons why now is prime time to buy a home, contact me and I'll send you a free ebook.
