The Truth About Reviews: Good or Bad

In this modern day and age, companies like Yelp have made a business out of Reviews. As a consumer, reviews are often used to feel out a company you are considering using and are looking to do some research on. As a business, we love good reviews. But to have such a thing as a good review, means we have to have such a thing as a bad review. No one likes bad reviews, except the person who put it there as a tool of negativity for (usually) self gain.

If you have been in business for 10+ years, and your business is a sensitive one-as if you provide people a place to live-you are bound to have some reviews. Home is where the heart is, many people say and the heart is the source of emotion. We ourselves have more people that like us than don't like us-but they don't often leave reviews. If you called and spoke to them though, they would be happy to tell you about what it was like to be a tenant with us.

But where there is good, there can also be bad. Not many people know that the Broker License and Sales Associate License allows one to do various activities under the Real Estate umbrella. You can do Leasing, Buying, Selling, Property Management, and Investments. At The Results Real Estate Group, we do a little bit of everything with a focus on Leasing/Investments. While we Lease as The Results Real Estate Group and manage as Preferred Property Management-property management has more ugly stories than pretty ones. 

If you happened to have an upset tenant who is looking to get un-necessary revenge on Preferred Property Management and looked up the DRE-You would find The Results Real Estate Group. Even if the fault in the actual scenario is their fault, some people have issues owning their mistakes that lead to their own situations. For us, we started with Family and a decade later-everyone is like family. We love creating generational wealth for not only our family, but your family as well. 

All this to say, is that there is two sides to every story. Be careful to read a negative review for what it fully could be, and when in doubt-ask us what happened. When dealing with a sensitive subject like Home, and doing what we need to do-it is not always a pretty sight.

Your First Home: Step 8-Protect Your Investment

Welcome to the world of home ownership, besides feeling like you signed your life away-how does it feel? You may find yourself feeling pride of ownership, because you now in fact own something. But with great power comes great responsibility-home maintenance. One of the best resources for you, even after the transaction, is going to be your real estate agent. Chances are, if you need a specific kind of vendor-they have one they trust and can refer you to. Home maintenance falls into two categories: Keep it clean and keep an eye on it. Review the maintenance needs for your home once you are settled in plan for regular service. If you notice something different, investigate it and fix it. A small problem not treated turns into a massively more expensive problem when ignored. Be sure to also read your home warranty, some of the repairs that come up may be covered. Also, have reserves set up for “Life Happens” situations. Finally, the most important part, Housewarming Party! Nothing w...

Your First Home: Step 7-Close

We got through the home inspection, that was intense. What’s next? Why, title and appraisal of course! We are in the home stretch; you can do this. As the lender is finalizing the mortgage, they are doing a little bit more digging: appraisal to confirm the value, survey to confirm the boundaries, title to verify ownership, and title insurance. Appraisers will look at the home and comps to determine what they think the home is worth and relay this to you and the lender. The lender will only write a loan for the home’s appraised value, so if there is a difference between selling price and appraisal price-buyer and seller have to come together to cover the gap. Therefore, it is important to create a win-win situation, both parties have to work together at times. Survey is to determine where the homes boundaries are and are not. You would be surprised how many times a neighbor’s fence may be on your property due to boundaries of each property being forgotten over time and various homeo...

Is Real Estate a Trade or a Profession?

On Friday, there was an article on  Inman news  (behind a paywall) asking, "Is Real Estate a Trade or a Profession?", specifically it was compared with journalism, below is a segment:  After all, he reminded us, one does not need a degree to be a journalist. There are laws regulating libel and individual privacy, and journalists are expected to comply with those, but there is no professional standards organization, no state or federal licensing, no real job requirements at all except, presumably, the ability to tell a story and convince an editor (and your readers) that you’re good at it. This has become increasingly apparent in the digital age, when editors are no longer gatekeepers dictating who has a platform to tell a story. The emergence of the Internet and blogging has given anybody who chooses to say something a way and means by which to say it. He pressed us all semester: What was the difference between an amateur blogger and a professional journalist? Could we ...
