A Property Vs A Home
Luxury real estate is a broad term for property.. Within what is called luxury real estate, you can find properties under the classification of “luxury property” and “luxury home”. What’s the difference?
The difference is in the area of living space. A waterfront with an area of 750 square feet and a total house area of less than one acre is considered a luxury property. On the other hand, a mansion with a floor area of 10,000 square feet and a property area of ten acres would be considered a luxury home.
Different countries have different lower limits on what is considered luxury. In the United States, to be considered “luxury,” a property must be at least $1 million in value.

This is a show about my family owned real estate office and our close knit team of people, our different personalities and the properties we are encountering in the current real estate market. We would like to help educate people on the current market. For instance just one of the things many people are unaware of is that if you are facing foreclosure on your property the bank will usually provide you some relocation assistance (money) in order to vacate the property and help you get your foot in the door somewhere else. www.trentrealty.com
Help answer the question about real estate
How can I become a real estate agent in NC?1. What do I need to do to become a real estate agent in Charlotte, NC?
2. What classes do I need to take?
3. Where can I study to become a real estate agent in Charlotte, NC?
4. What are the requirements?
5. Any other information I need to know about becoming a real estate agent?
stay out of the mainstream area;
that is, listing houses for sale.
become an exclusive buyer's agent.
Rep middle income and upper income
black women as a niche.
Also poke into doing commercial
and industrial purchases.
and maybe business brokerage
plus, interview different agencies–
most are Realtor focused; which
means they take listings. YOU can
choose not to do that via being
an exclusive BUYER's agent.
[they don't sell RE--they help
buyers buy, and that is a different
approach].
plus u can find those offices that
have 100% approaches [where
the agent pays for desk space and
does not split the commission.]
available to help -though I am not
in TN.
Hi Jeannie!
I suggest you first learn the difference between Real Estate Companies. Some charge desk fees, some do a split with commissions (find out what other monthly fees they have), some are flat fee brokers. Find out if they have retirement, residuals, if they offer profit sharing how long does it take to get that profit, training, what programs do they offer and do they cost? Do they have a training schedule? Do they have a mentor program? Do they have a new agent training course? Do they have health insurance?
Then go meet the Broker. If you can't relate with them, then it's not a good fit! If you have any questions, email me! Good luck and make us all proud!

Depends on the licensing requirements in your state. Check with the Department of Real Estate for their requirements. Most states require some basic courses, but there may be exemptions or partial exemptions for experience in the field. The only exception in California is that licensed attorneys, regardless of their field of practice, can go straight to the Broker level exam. Afterwards, most states also require a certain amount of continuing education for license renewal at either the Agent or Broker level…so you might as well get used to taking classes…and who knows, despite all your experince, you may learn just the thing you needed to know…
One more thing, you must know how many people in Mexico make their money off tourists?
I don’t think it should be that way since Mexico has great natural resources. Unfortunately, just like here, their Gov is totally corrupt. I think Mexico could be rich on it’s own accord if not for the corruption.
Anyway I think it’s sad, between the fake, hyped up swine-flu and the sensationalized violence many people in the tourist industries are now suffering. That effects our own friends and family.
Hello McFly,
I mentioned the violence in our own cities. I know it’s there. That’s why I moved from Los Angeles to Utah and even here we have violence just not as much.
While not all, the majority of the recent big “tiroteos” are indeed happening along the border especially in and around Cd Juarez. Those are the incidents that the media likes to sensationalize.
I constantly have to defend our plan about moving South to friends and family who think it’s happening in all of Mx. It gets old.
people reitre in mexico because everything is cheap, mexico is a wonderful place!
shut up, merida needs more people like him
Russ Whitney has a great coaching program you may want to take a look at.

You have a LEGAL AND BINDING CONTRACT. all disclosures within the contract should be what the seller knows about the property. Now the other agent cannot FORCE you to sign anything. Basically what the agent is trying to do is cover his clients ass- if the selling side has a problem with it you can always take it before arbitration (see how they like that). Either way the selling agent is not within his rights to present other docs. for disclosures, nor do you let them off the hook. You will have no recourse if you do. Hope this helps.
I am a real estate agent and I think it's a wonderful career choice. If you have self determination, love working with people, think it's fun to show houses and don't want a regular 9-5 job, you will love it too.
I don't know what state you are in, but in California you are required to have three classes and then pass a test that is different from the three classes you take. So you have to study hard for the test, which is like taking an extra class.
One wonderful thing about real estate is that you can choose how many clients you want to work with. If you work a lot, you can make a good living. Or you can do it part time while you continue to go to school and your real estate income will help you get through college.
I don't think real estate is ever too risky to get into if you are self motivated. Even in a bad market, there are people who still want to buy and sell and they are looking for an agent who cares about their needs and will do whatever it takes to make their real estate sale go as smoothly as possible. If you like that idea, go for it.
Wow! what a great question from a 14 year old. a LLC (Limited Liability Company) is incorporated with the Attorney Generals office in the state it is established in. The best way to do that is to go to an Attorney. A holding company and a Development company may be combined into one, have different division or groups to do the different objectives, or even the same people.
You can never have too much money to start a company, it's the too little that matters. Your best bet is to save as much as possible, write up a business plan, go to friends and family for investment in the company before you start out and hope to have a minimum of $50,000 to $500,000 to start your company. Then you can go to a bank and borrow, usually 2 to 3 times that much more to make your first purchases.
Yes there are Capital gains even for companies to pay with investment properties.
When you are ready, have your board of directors vote to take your company public by registering with the Securities and Exchange commission, with the assistance of a Stock Brokerage Company.

Go ahead!
I am a real estate agent in Australia with my own independent office.
I am not sure what courses are like through franchises, however, here, the courses with regular real estate schools are very good.
When you are looking to find an agency to work for, consider the following:
- do they regularly pay for training for their employees? what kind of training and how frequently?
- does management get regular training and upgrade their knowledge on changes in legislation etc (here we have special annual education to attend to stay in the know)
- what internal systems and procedures do they have that will assist people who are just starting out? for example, a good computer software and training resources in the office for when you get stuck on something.
- is there someone more experienced in the office that can mentor you?
I believe that a franchise is not necessarily the best, often all the training that they attend is in house, and they are not open to external training providers (which can be very beneficial).
You need to look at the individual operator of the office to decide if it will be a good environment to start your career or not.
I live in Utah.
The majority of the drug violence in the news right now is along the border and it’s much closer to me here, in Utah than it would be in Yucatan.
However, closer to me than the border is the violence of Los Angeles, Las Vegas and even Salt Lake city. Another things is all our food is shipped into our cities, not local street markets. Just imagine an oil induced food shortage.
We’re not ready to move and my worry is schools for my kids and making money but maybe someday.
