2012 Power Broker Report

Here it is,

Attached is the Power Broker ranking report showing that of over 200,000 brokerages in the United States, your office, London Properties, ranked #85 – with 4,325 transaction sides closed!

And, you’re number 1 out of every office South of Modesto and North of Los Angeles.  This is the 21^st year in a row that we’ve been in the top 300 (which is the criteria to be named a Power Broker)!  Also, remember that 4,325 closed sides = a home sold every 2.02 hours, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year!

Use this to let your buyers know that we have more listings and your sellers know that we have more resources and more results than any broker!

Congratulations, feel the “Power” and good luck selling this weekend!

Ps  Please contact marketing if you would like this in a higher resolution format – they can send the file to you individually.

Cheers,

BREAKING NEWS: Mortgage Rates Plummet To New Lows

What a great addition to the last article I just sent!  Buyer’s should buy now while prices (though inching up) are still bouncing along the bottom and they can buy at ultra low rates – locking in their payment for 30 years to come!

Please forward this along to buyers who are on the fence or missing properties because they’re still trying to lowball them. Better to offer a little more, put us to work to provide the appraiser with accurate market information, and take advantage of these low rates. 

Not enough inventory you say, then let’s go create it!  Let’s get to work for our buyers and get one party listings!  There were also 14 expired residential properties in the Fresno MLS yesterday alone.  How many of us called on Expired listings yesterday?  I know our very own Jim Phillips did – great job Jim!

Now’s a great time to buy – let’s take advantage of the opportunities!

Good luck!

Good morning!

Attached is a “News Flash” from the DRE regarding fraud in non-English speaking sectors.  Obviously, however, as a whole, fraud and scams do not discriminate – they reach every population.

1. This is important information to know and to pass on to clients and the public.

2. On the third page is a link to what the DRE says,

“Make certain that you get and closely read the Spanish-language version of the follow consumer alert published by the California Department of Real Estate”
