Effects Of Rms On The Weekly Calls

“Real estate is a year-round opportunity to help countless people realize the American dream” (“Why Real Estate”, 2012). Eighty-five percent of buyers believe that home purchases are good financial investments, and a majority of homebuyers and sellers rely on the services and expertise of real estate professionals to assist them with their transactions (Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, 2010). “The primary job description for an agent is communicating with potential clients to determine what kind of property they are looking for” (Richard, 2012). This means, setting up interviews with clients to see if the agents firm possesses property that meets the client’s specific needs. Once it is apparent exactly what the client is looking for, the agent sets appointments to show houses to clients and many times the agent physically accompanies couples while showing off properties.

The problem is lack of awareness in the marketplace. Lazy Listers continue to exist because homeowners have not been given the questions to ask of, or shown what to look for in, a listing agent. As a result, there is a lower bar of expectation that listing agents have to reach and they get away with putting in less effort than is needed to sell your home for the highest price possible.

Moreover, there is no sufficient information provided in ASC 410-20-25-10 to determine the fair value of the ARO due to the uncertainty of LOI to require removing the asbestos. This also applies to two of the warehouses residing in areas with no laws in place requiring special handling and disposal of the asbestos on building demolition or renovation. Lastly, the remaining 13 warehouses with asbestos residing in states with special asbestos handling and disposal laws, LOI has owned and operated for more than 50 years only incurring just minor renovations and repairs and has no plans in future to make significant renovations or demolish except for minor repairs and maintenance. The problem with ARO is the presence of an indeterminate settlement data as in ASC 410-20-25-10.

This paper is written to provide a reasonably comprehensive overview of Section 1031 of the IRC as it pertains to real estate transactions, and to offer some thoughts on the wealth-creation advantages that 1031 Exchanges offer.

According to Levitt & Dubner “A phrase like “well maintained,” for instance, is as full of meaning to an agent as the code phrase “Mr. Ayak” was to a member of the Ku Klux Klan; it means that a house is old but not quite falling down. A savvy buyer will know this (or find out for himself once he sees the house), but to the sixty-five-year-old retiree who is selling his house, “well maintained” might sound like a compliment, which is just what the agent intends.”(70). So why would real-estate agents do this well theres a simple explanation the house is on the market for 400k and they make a 18k commission and make $4500 cash in hand or wait 3 more weeks do a lot more work sell the house for $410,000 and make $4650 cash. All this can be avoided, internet enables information transfer so that people can know more stuff that was once held by “experts”. Such “exposure” of information reduces the information imbalance, and causes the prices of experts’ service to collapse.

In November 2017, RMS continued to focus on the following areas, which we believe have the greatest impact on the portfolio due to extended days in REO and higher carry costs:

Clients tend to make decisions upon the data provided through technology as opposed to experience and intuition. This aspect of real estate business is challenging for everyone involved

Buying or selling a house or an apartment is one of the biggest decisions of a person’s life. And when selling or establishing a price for real estate, people seek out real estate agents to do the dirty work. A real estate agent has to convince a prospective homeowner that he or she is trustworthy and knowledgeable. In many ways, the agent acts as a counselor to individuals and families about to embark on a huge commitment. Real estate agents have a thorough knowledge or real estate market in their community. They

The foreclosure crisis is changing the Real Estate Owned (REO) process. Some banks hold off on following through with foreclosures or letting empty houses sit in limbo, where they deteriorate further, instead of selling them. Cleveland has dealt with these “toxic titles,” as banks like Wells Fargo have refused to

The fair value of an asset is defined as ‘the price that would be received to sell an asset paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2012). It is a market based measure (Averkamp, 2014). Over the past few years, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles has called for the use of fair value measurement in a company’s financial statements. This is what is referred to as the fair value principle (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2012). The fair value of an asset or liability is based on an estimate of what the asset should be worth at the time of sale. This gives rise to some conflict among accounting professionals. It is believed that fair value may not be as accurate

This paper will seek to provide an overview of the real estate process and its affects on the real estate agent. An agent needs to be knowledgable about the steps required to make a sale, and the risks involved when the sale does not go as planned. Real estate sales require much of the agent, including sacrifices in their personal lives and in their financial stability. Agents must be teachable and willing to seek to see others succeed. A successful real estate sale consists of many steps, sacrifices to personal time, and an agent’s ability to work well with others while remaining incredibly flexible.

Automated valuation models (AVM) according to the RICS AVM Standards working group are systems that use one or more mathematical techniques to provide an estimate of the value of a specified property at a specified date, accompanied by a measure of confidence in the accuracy of the result, without human intervention post-initiation. They combine property sales data, property attributes data as well as local market information (RICS 2013, Corelogic (n.d)); these form the variables that are fed into the model. Models typically comprise one dependent variable which is the estimated property value and several independent variables (property attributes data) which take turns in explaining the dependent variable (RICS, 2013). AVMs vary depending on the modelling technique adopted, the methodology and independent variables adopted. Choice is solely down to the provider’s specification (RICS, 2013). Examples of the different models include; multiple regression model, indexation, sales comparison models and automated comparable selection and artificial neural networks. AVMs have been around for a while. However, market acceptance has been slow, tentative and somewhat phased.

CBPRO is a leading real estate company in Virginia, an independent franchisor of the Coldwell banker brand since 2001. CBPRO’s business focuses on residential real estate services such as selling, buying, and leasing houses; has 299 agents in 13 offices. The residential real estate industry is influenced by the ups and downs of the economy. In good times it fuels consumers confidence and spending, and in bad times consumers are cautious and not willing to invest in a house etc. CBPRO had a breaking sale of 2,848 percent in the first three years of services and during the plummet in the economy, sales flattened down to 2.5 percent, as was the case with the industry in general. (Coldwell Banker – Virginia Beach, Page 279). Due to high competition in the residential real estate industry (especially locally), coupled with fluctuating national economic conditions, and narrowly defined target customers, CBPRO faced several distinctive challenges; residential and clients lists were important to CBPRO business and to its competitors, especially the local competitors.
