THANK YOU to the best clients/friends in the world!

Aug 15-17, 2016 Bellagio, Las Vegas

As the invite came a few months ago to come to an event hosted by our parent company FNF to be with some of the top folks in the nation as it relates to title, I was humbled and honored! Attending the event was quite incredible and seeing the folks that run our company was eye-opening and refreshing. It was awesome to gather ideas and a methods that my counter-parts across the nation are helping their clients WIN!

Lions Run with Lions…

As the awards banquet started on Friday night, I realized that our clients had promoted us to the

TOP 5% of Title Sales Executives in the Nation! Wow! I was blown away and inspired!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I was, and I am inspired to give everything I have, to help my clients win. To improve, to learn, to grow, and to win together is my goal. I was happy before, and this is truly incredible!

To my clients, THANK YOU! This award is truly yours!

My pledge, I promise to give it my all for you every day! I will help where ever possible, refer out where I can’t, and do everything in my power to assist growth in your business! Thank you for leaning on my team and I as a resource.

LETS BE LIONS TOGETHER, and go after our “UNFAIR SHARE!” Lets out hustle, out work and out earn our competition together!

IF you are with me, #GAME ON!

C.A.R. Asst General Council Exceeds Expectations at WEREP!

Gov Hutchinson speaks at the West End Real Estate Professionals

Sept 9, 2016

At least once a year we are honored to have Gov come out and speak to our group, and he never disappoints. He is witty, informed and to the point as to what is relevant and pressing in the real estate industry! As Assistant General Counsel for the California Association of Realtors he truly has his finger on the pulse.

Fortunate for us, one of our attendees did record the event itself, and it is definitely worth watching.

On this day we had 123 real estate professionals in attendance, and we could have doubled the total time of the meeting because the content was just that good! For more details on WEREP.org, please feel free to check the website or search West End Real Estate Professionals on Facebook for updates and Speakers.

The question: “I love this house, do you know what the tax rate is?” by Ryan J Orr

PROPERTY TAX: Its not THAT big of a deal, RIGHT?

Math:
$600,000 x 1% = $6,000 = $500/month
$600,000 x 2% = $12,000= $1,000/month
(Might this impact buying decisions?)

So here it comes the question, a common question. Sounds like it should be so simple, but, is it? So many times I here the answer oh, I just tell them its about 1.5%. That does not seem like a great answer, but I guess its all you got if you don’t know the answer and you have not done the research.

My team and I have a simple solution. Its quick and painless.

If you would like simple access to get this information, reach out to us today. We will set you up, and walk you through it. We can role play with you and show you in role play as to how you can use this information DAILY!

When YOU win, WE win!

It is indescribable to try and explain what it’s like to have a child that lives with a disease that currently has no cure like Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA).
FA continually diminishes your child’s ability to walk, talk, and function normally.
While experiencing the battles the FA has presented us, we have come to realize that we are not alone in this fight.
We have been blessed beyond words to have family, friends and strangers join us in the fight to find a cure.
We can’t express our gratitude enough to all of those that have joined the efforts.
Together we have been able to raise over $150000 dollars through the Century21 King golf tournament that has gone directly to FARA to fund the reseach needed in finding a cure.
Our son Joshua was diagnosed at 16 and gone on to get married and graduate college, all while continuing to battle this horrible disease.
He now needs the use of a wheelchair to get around but continues to stay positive and believe that a cure will come.
It has been said that alone we can accomplish little, but together we can accomplish anything.
Through our faith and our friends, Im sure that a cure will happen!!!
-Brian Lamascus

Brian is a good friend of mine, and our friend Julio Cardenas and his Team at Century 21 King host this event each year in a effort to find a cure. Let’s do our best to support them and find a CURE…

Meeting:

Friday June 24th, 2016

8:30-9:30 am

Central Park

11200 Baseline Road

Rancho Cucamonga, Ca 91730

What are the top things you can do to protect yourself and your clients? Do you know?

Tip #1

Keep it light

Show properties before dark. If you are going to be working after hours, advise your associate or first-line supervisor of your schedule. If you must show a property after dark, turn on all lights as you go through, and don’t lower any shades or draw curtains or blinds.

Tip #2

Checking-in

When you have a new client, ask him/her to stop by your office and complete a Prospect Identification Form (Find a copy online at www.REALTOR.org/Safety). Also, photocopy their driver’s license and retain this information at your office. Be certain to properly discard this personal information when you no longer need it.

Tip #3

Don’t be too public

Limit the amount of personal information you share. Consider advertising without using your photograph, home phone number and/or home address in the newspaper or on business cards. Don’t use your full name with middle name or initial. Use your office address—or list no address at all. Giving out too much of the wrong information can make you a target.

Tip #4

Touch base

Always let someone know where you are going and when you will be back; leave the name and phone number of the client you are meeting and schedule a time for your office to call you to check in.

Tip #5

Open house safety

Open house: it ain’t over till it’s over. Don’t assume that everyone has left the premises at the end of an open house. Check all of the rooms and the backyard prior to locking the doors. Be prepared to defend yourself, if necessary.

Tip #6

Stranger danger

Tell your clients not to show their home by themselves. Alert them that not all agents, buyers and sellers are who they say they are. Predators come in all shapes and sizes. We tell our children not to talk to strangers. Tell your sellers not to talk to other agents or buyers, and to refer all inquiries to you.

Tip #7

Sturdy doors are key to home safety

Make sure that all your home’s doors to the outside are metal or solid, 1 ¾” hardwood, and have good, sturdy locks.

Tip #8

Block identity theft

Contact the fraud department of any of the three consumer reporting companies— Equifax®, ExperianSM and Trans Union®—to place a fraud alert on your credit report. The fraud alert automatically lets credit card companies and other creditors know they must contact you before opening any new accounts or making any changes to your existing accounts.

Tip #9

Keep track of colleagues

Have a check-out employee board at your office, listing your name, destination, customer name, date and expected return time.

Tip #10

Wear your REALTOR® ID

Always wear visible company identification such as a badge. It is also best to drive a vehicle clearly marked with your company name. These will be invaluable for identification if you need to get assistance.

Tip #11

Bring up the rear

When showing a home, always have your prospect walk in front of you. Don’t lead them, but rather, direct them from a position slightly behind them. You can gesture for them to go ahead of you and say, for example, “The master suite is in the back of the house.”

Tip #12

Pick up some self-defense skills

The best way to find a good self-defense class is to learn what is available, and then make a decision. Many health clubs, martial arts studios and community colleges offer some type of class. You can also ask your peers, friends and family if they have taken a self-defense class that they would recommend.

Tip #13

You take the wheel

Whenever possible, take your own car to a showing. When you leave your car, lock it.

Tip #14

Shield your computer from e-mail viruses

Computer viruses can impair and seriously damage your computer. Viruses are often distributed via attachments in e-mail spam. Never open an attachment from someone you don’t know, and, if you receive a strange or impersonal-sounding message from a familiar address, check with that person to make sure that they really sent it.

Tip #15

Got cell service, everywhere?

When you’re showing commercial property, thick walls and/or remote locations may interfere with mobile phone reception. Check in advance to be sure your phone is serviceable in the area in which you are showing the property.
