Misrepresentation in real estate can be difficult to pinpoint. When a real estate agent makes a property seem a certain way, or even blatantly states untrue facts, it can be easily disguised. In the article, "What Is Misrepresentation in a Real Estate Litigation Case?" Attorney Jaclyn Kallie tells a story of a case dealing with misrepresentation in which the agent lied to a client about the square-footage of the land that they bought. The original agreement was to pay per square-foot, and the client ended up paying a lot more than the property was worth. The client ended up sueing the defendants. This is just one example of the many different types of misrepresentation. It is very important for all agents to know that the information given to a client is correct, and it is important for... 08/14/2021

When I first started my business just this year, I was obsessing for days over what my logo would look like. I wanted to stand out from the other real estate investment companies. I hired a freelancer to design my logo. She probably hated me due to the revision requests I sent over. After it was all said and done, I still wasn't happy. It certainly stood out from some of my competitors, but I was never 100% satisfied. I had this obsession that I wanted a brand that would immediately stand out above the rest. I overcomplicated this entire process. After spending hundreds of dollars on marketing materials with my newly designed logo, it hit me. No one gives a crap what your logo is!  A Change of DirectionLet’s face it, real estate is competitive. Whether you are an agent, broker, or an in... 08/11/2021

While working on my Utah Real Estate Sales Agent License on AgentProfesser, I have become aware of the 21 ways to lose your real estate agent license. One topic that really struck me in these studies was the importance of honesty. I believe honesty applies to almost every aspect of working in the field of real estate.For the past two years, I have worked as a used auto dealer alongside my high school and college studies. Cars are very complicated machines that can have many different problems, and with me selling over 130 cars in the past two years I have dealt with a variety of unique issues. I have personally been cheated by mechanics, auction inspectors, other dealers, and everyday people. Individuals often hide major issues on inspections or downplay problems, which has taught me so... 08/09/2021

In 2006, I bought a “Manufactured Housing Community” in rural upstate New York, just south of Albany. I started building new, beautiful manufactured homes in the park that looked like modular or even site-built homes, as well as attached garages. I wanted to list these homes in my local Multiple Listing Service, but manufactured homes on a land lease were not allowed. Manufactured homes built after 1976 are built to HUD code, meaning manufactured housing is a home, built to federal building standards, for which owners can receive a mortgage. But MLSs still don’t see them as “real” property. In short, they look down on “trailer parks” and mobile home living, and they don’t want those listings on the MLS. A long list of frustrations drove me to create NY State MLS in 2009, but this was ne... 08/04/2021

Most people fail to realize the home inspections are not just for potential homebuyers. Sellers can also benefit from a pre-listing inspection before you put your home on the market. Although a seller's inspection is by no means required to sell a home, a recent report by the Zillow Group found that roughly 25% of all sellers elect to have their home inspected prior to contacting a realtor. Not only are pre-listing inspections relatively affordable, but they can also save you a lot of time and headache in not only prepping your home for sale but also once your home is listed. It's also important to note that agents representing buyers are also generally required to complete a walkthrough of your property to help identify potential issues for their clients. Wouldn't you rather have your... 08/03/2021

Walt Disney is, perhaps, the most famous real life example of an undisclosed principal in real estate and reveals exactly why someone may choose to be undisclosed in a real estate transaction.Walt Disney needed a large plot of land to put his new amusement park. He narrowed it down to the perfect spot in Orlando. The first obstacle was that he needed many different plots of land owned by different people. Walt knew that if he made his plans to place his new park there, the price of the land would go up like crazy. People were curious who could be buying so much land and what for.In order to keep such a large secret, Disney made several fake companies to buy up different plots of land. He used Florida based real estate agents and had them work through his lawyer in New York City. He made... 08/02/2021

In a seller’s market, the sellers are likely to make good, steady profits. There are more buyers contacting them than they’re used to. However, this is bad for buyers because they have more competitors to deal with, and the sales prices will increase. There are obvious signs for real estate buyers and sellers to look out for in a seller’s market.   Human Migrations There are certain points in time when large influxes of people move from one location to another. A modern example is the large migration of Central Americans into North America, particularly to the U.S. When there are massive waves of migration into specific cities and towns, most people would assume that many of these migrants will become homeowners. They may plan to purchase the home upfront, make an inspection or they pl... 08/02/2021
