Helpful Tips in Transferring the Title

One of the service that a License Broker can do is Documentation. It is a job that we can accept if we are not too busy closing deals. Following are some tips that I find helpful to make the process flow easily.

1. Secure a Certified True Copy of Title from Registry of Deeds

2. Secure a Certified True Copy of Tax Declaration (Computerized) from Assessors Office. You need to specify with your request that the documents is needed for the transfer of Title. Request for 2 copies. (1 for BIR and 1 for Registry of Deeds)

3. Every page of Deed of Absolute sale must be signed by all parties. Seller, Buyer and witness.

4. If seller/broker is under corporation you should secure Certified True Copy of  SEC Registration, Articles of Corporation and By Laws.

5. It is also important that the seller will provide for the Tax Clearance especially if the property being sold is vacant lot. There are cases that property is subject to Idle Land Tax. So Seller should be the one to settle it.

Agents Pretending to be a Buyer

In this world of Real Estate business you can encounter different kind of people. There are people who practice ethics because they are licensed brokers but there are people who doesn’t even know what ethics is. Others will say they are the buyers but after showing the property will ask a cut of your commission. Sometimes they will demand more than what you can get. When you show them the property expect that they will write down the contact number of the owner displayed. After that they will contact the seller and will have a direct listing. These are the people who doesn’t even have a licensed to practice the profession and yet they earn more. Be careful to deal with people who will say that they are the representative of the buyer, but when you ask who the buyer is they will not divulge it. Surely they will just get your list.

Top 5 gadgets for Realtors

25 Oct, 2006 in Marketing Tools by Cristina

The other day I was thinking about how much the technology has changed over the years and how productive a realtor has become these days. So, I decided to write about the 5 most important gadgets in a realtor’s life. It might not apply to everybody nor be the most complete, but in my opinion those tools are a must in our profession.

1. The Smartphone- this gadget is at the top of my preferences.It’s a “tool” that is absolutely necessary in the realtor’s daily life. With a smartphone, you can organize your appointments, have a TO-DO list ready to view at anytime, sync your emails, receive emails in real time, search listings on MLS, connect your phone to the laptop for an easier browsing experience, and even be able to use your phone’s infrared option as a Supra key. There are so many other things that can be accomplished with a smartphone, but I will get into that in another article.
   My preferences in terms of smartphones selection are:
   • the Blackberry models, 7000-series, 8700-series and my favorite, the new Pearl
   • the Treo phones(650,700p,700w,700wx and the upcoming Cingular Treos 680 and 750)

   The Blackberry smartphones are known for their push-email capability, an email function that seems to be better than the competition’s. But, if you would like to have more software choices and have a phone that is very close in functionality to a computer, then the Treo is definitely the best choice.

2. The Laptop/Tablet PC- this gadget needs no introduction, these days we all have a laptop or know somebody that has a laptop. I just want to point out why I added the Tablet PC next to the laptop. I find the new Convertibles Tablet PCs (a laptop that has a rotating screen that turns it into a Tablet) to be very useful in my profession. The Tablets offer the capability of annotating Web and Word documents, Excel sheets. Here is how basically I use my Tablet PC when I’m ready to meet a buyer: I sign into MLS, I choose the listings that I want for printing, but instead of sending them to the printer, I save them as PDF files, and then I write on them all the important informations that I might want to show my customer, or I can actually add a screenshot with the Map directions to the properties. After I’m done editing my PDF files containg the listings, I can just send them for print. Bottom line, I highly really recommend the Tablet PC over a regular notebook, since it has the same capabilities as a laptop, but with added Tablet functions. The learning curve is short, so there should be no major obstacles on learning how to use a Tablet PC. My recommendation here, as far as the brand, goes to the IBM X-series.
3. The bluetooth headset- yes, I really think this gadget is really useful for us, the realtors, since we do a lot of driving during the day and we answer tons of phone calls. First, it’s a safety issue, for us and for the people around us, the roads are much safer when both hands are used for driving. Also, when you are on the phone with your customers trying to search, email or print some listings for them, it is nice to have both hands available for a more productive activity.
   Two of the bluetooth headsets manufactures that I recommend are: Motorola and Plantronics. They make some great headsets in terms of voice quality/volume and comfortable fitting around your ear.
4. Portable printer-very, very useful device that really makes my life easier when I’m not at my desk or near a printing center. Printing listings, contracts or any other important documents, On-The-Go, has never been easier. They are so small in size that you can comfortably carry them around in your car. The best ones are those with a bluetooth connection since you can wirelessly connect them to your laptop without having to deal with the wire issues. As expected, the most popular brand is HP.
5. Digital Camera- the last but not least useful gadget, is the digital camera. Good quality pictures can increase the chances of getting more showings or sell the property faster. I know some brokerage companies offer free marketing in terms of pictures taken or virtual tours with professional photographers, but some realtors don’t have this privilege, and hence the importance of a good camera. Also, when researching investment properties for my developers, very often I have to go and inspect the property before the developer decides to come out and take a look, and sometimes I felt that having a digital camera on hand, would have been very useful in saving some of my investor’s precious time.

I have two specific recommendations in this category: the Sony H3 or H5 and the Canon S2 or S3. Those cameras are semi-professional and the pictures’ quality are amazing. Also, the prices are very competitive in compare to the SLR professional cameras, without sacrificing picture’s quality.

Harvest Time

A group of friends about 6 of us lease a farm in Mindoro. We contributed to finance the planting of Palay. Agie being the expert in farming suggested that we should plant palay that will supply seeds to the farmers since she is an accredited seed producer in Calintaan. The main reason why we invest in farming is to be able to go to Hongkong and visit Disneyland. Last November we have earned Php 20,000.00 each good enough to have a decent vacation. Unfortunately my sister had an emergency need of money so I lend to her that cancel our trip. Yesterday I spoke with Agie and she told me that we will harvest our Palay next week. She invited us to go to Mindoro so we can experience the harvesting. I think this is the best time to have a break real estate work. I am planning to stay in Mindoro about one week but I will be bringing along my laptop just in case there will be client who will inquire properties. I hope we will harvest good enough to finance our trip to Hongkong.

Duplicate Yourself

Being in the Real Estate Brokerage service get lots of pressure finding property for clients, calling owners, coordinating the tripping, contacting other brokers, updating websites, updating database not to mention the task that has been assigned to me in REBAP MARIKINA in which I am the VP MIS. It is a realization that a person  can only do so much, my work filed up, many properties has not been listed in the database. Website has not been updated.

I started teaching  friends how to look for properties and how to update database. Slowly  teaching them what I know. In that way we can accomplish more and can serve more people. Teaching is not an easy task. People have different capability of learning but I believe I am on the right track, this can be hard in the beginning but after sometime things can be easier for all of us.
