Buying A Foreclosure As Easy As Buying A New Home?

philmartinloans — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 16:05:52 +0000

FHA 203K loans are known as the best loan program for buying a home and renovating it. They are also known as a “Painful” experience. It is true there are many moving parts. Agents, houses, Sellers-REO Asset Managers, Lenders, Contractors, Licensing….etc., etc.

If you live in the DFW area, and you are interested in exploring how you can buy an undervalued house and then move into the home of your dreams, go to www.HomeAgainDFW.com.

This is a managed service program that will work with a buyer (or owner who wants to renovate on a 203K refinance) from start to finish. They have combined the professionals such as Real Estate Agents, Lender, Design Consultants, Materials Experts, Contractors (even foundation issues) and more deliver the experience to the buyer as a Managed Service. Builder pricing on rehab, Warranties and more. And PrimeLending, the Lender, was characterized by a top HUD consultant as the “Cadillac” of 203K lenders in TX.

I am proud to be a preferred lender for this program in our area. You can also attend a Free, No Obligation on-line workshop for the program 6 days a week from the privacy of your own home.

Don’t miss this program if you are an agent, asset manager, home buyer or home owner.

Short Sales – What Is Great Advice Worth?

philmartinloans — Mon, 24 May 2010 19:46:51 +0000

You might shy away from listing a Short Sale (SS), but how will you provide the best representation when your buyer wants one?

The way I see it, you have 3 choices.

1. Become an expert and target SS to make money
2. Become familiar enough to “refer” and make money
3. Pretend that SS don’t exist and leave the money to others (I don’t recommend this one)

If You Are Not Marketing – You Are Not In Business!

philmartinloans — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:15:26 +0000

Real Estate agents MUST be Master Marketers. Dynamic Disseminators of information. But unfortunately, most agents feel that if they are going to Market, then “they” have to Market. When that is the belief, then agents tend to spend most of their time behind a keyboard, staying up late, spending their valuable time doing “administrative” work and in short, not making the money or having the lifestyle they really want.

The Best Home Marketing System changes all that. And it is FREE. Websites, Admin, ePropertySites, PromoSites, Systematic Follow Up System, Virtual Tours, and more.

Why Aren’t You Using Your FREE Personalized Website?

philmartinloans — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:13:28 +0000

Why should Real Estate agents have a stand alone website that markets them and their properties? This is a GREAT idea. Your clients only see YOU. They do not see a list of “other” real estate agents. On your personal website, your prospects and clients do not have to deal with advertisements and other distractions. You can build the brand you want. This can be done with zero cost. This can be done without having to become a programmer or know code. If all this was true would you take advantage of it? Watch this short video and find out how.

Call Capture is NOT dead. It’s just different.

philmartinloans — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:12:33 +0000

Texting grew by 500% last year alone. Texting is a juggernaut and we think soon to be dominant channel for communications. If you are behind this curve you will lose listings, buyers and commissions. Imagine your potential buyer stopped in front of your listing at 10pm Sunday evening. They call your 1-800 number (twice – the first attempt was the wrong number) and begin to listen. Scribbling in the dark with a pen that is not working that well on the back of a burger bag………RIGHT! Like that is going to get the job done. Ok, how about calling the number and getting your colleague on duty who puts them on hold….OHH. Another one lost. Watch these TWO short videos about how our Text based Call Capture will NEVER drop another inquiry for you. In fact it will give the interested party every bit of information they want effortlessly and permanently.
