My Florida Property Store Announces Industry Leading Personalized Real Estate Service

Friday, November 1st, 2013


Orlando, FL (PRWEB) October 17, 2013

Leading Central Florida real estate group specializing in the representation of out-of-state and foreign nationals, My Florida Property Store (MFPS), introduces revolutionary real estate agency structure to help clients fully transition to new lifestyles, investments and homes.

In the overly saturated Florida real estate market, it is tough finding credible agents who are experienced in representing and advising buyers and sellers in real estate transactions from many countries around the world. MFPS caters specifically to those buying and selling, but who reside out-of-state or indeed out of the country. Their motto, Local Focus, Global Market, embodies the philosophy behind this innovative real estate experience.

Unlike most brokerages, MFPSs knowledgeable team is comprised of American, British, Canadian and Chinese associates fully familiar with local customs in multiple countries around the world, which is an essential pre-requisite to communicating detailed local purchase information in an efficient manner. In addition to being familiar with customs worldwide these agents actually live, work, and play in the areas of the properties they are selling. With a network of agents throughout Asia, Europe, and North America, MFPS is capable of assisting clients abroad directly and with professional knowledge of all requirements, whether required by the city, state, country or even that of their primary residence.

At MFPS agents operate as a team to provide truly personalized and individualized care. Each member is assigned responsibilities based on their area of expertise. Instead of juggling multiple tasks, MFPS agents hone in on one craft and become experts in that area. Unlike other firms where agents regularly compete against each other for sales, the overall structure of My Florida Property Store promotes an environment in which all agents work toward the common goal of providing the client with a seamless real estate experience.

Clients always comment on the professional look and transparency of our business cards. This sets our business model in the clients hand from the very start and many comment how our structure varies from others brokerages theyve dealt with previously. We actively communicate with our clients via their preferred method of contact, while always doing so, in what is truly their best interest. This allows us to introduce clients to associate services, who are genuinely the premier vendors within their respective businesses, unlike many one-stop shops, where the focus is on the parent company, says My Florida Property Store CEO Garry Walmsley.

My Florida Property Store offers each and every client a personally tailored, full-service real estate experience without sourcing, finders or transaction fees. This individualized service coupled with highly qualified staff and proven network of professional associate companies are part of a magnificent formula that has reshaped the Florida real estate market and will continue to improve service levels within the real estate industry.

In addition to the services discussed above, MFPS has proven and professional relationships with specialized affiliate companies to supply clients with all the services that are required to purchase and operate any property in Florida successfully including: accounting, bank account set-up, foreign exchange, interior furnishing & design, mortgage origination, property inspection or survey, property management services, taxation requirements.

The purchase or sale of a property does not end with one transaction. My Florida Property Store understands the referral nature of the real estate industry and values the long-term relationships that it builds with each client as a result. MFPS will continue to provide a truly customized service to guide each and every client through the purchase or sales process from beginning to end. Unlike many of the real estate franchises that may have national recognition and draw many average or part-time Realtors

Rick Otton Announces Plans to Uncover Brisbane Property Myths in New Seminar

Saturday, October 19th, 2013


(PRWEB) October 07, 2013

Rick Otton, known for his unconventional property investment strategies and for his best-selling real estate book How to Buy A House For A Dollar, has set his myth-busting sights on sunny Brisbane with a property event to be held in October.

On the back of the recent figures showing that the city had topped Australias state capitals in August for property market growth with a 1.5 per cent increase in dwelling values, Mr Otton declared that his upcoming Brisbane real estate investment event is well-timed to bust some of the more popular property myths.

People keep telling me that you need to pay a lot of attention to things like property values if you are serious about getting growth and cash flow in your property portfolio. Its really strange. They also keep saying that you have to care about interest rates, and make sure you have a big deposit or lots of equity to get into property investment. But its just not true, said Mr Otton.

Mr. Otton has made the list of Top 10 Most Popular Finance Title for 2013 with his real estate book, which shared the strategies he used to become a real estate authority, and in particular, how to get into property investing without a deposit, bank loan or experience in real estate.

His advice can seem unusual at first, but with his real estate events filling up around the country, it seems that many people are keen to hear about new approaches.

The focus on percentage rises in values and rates as a way of asset protection just doesnt make sense anymore its outdated. I love real estate and Ive made it my personal mission to teach as many Australians as possible how to use innovative strategies to build their own property portfolios, said Mr Otton.

The one day Queensland event, to be held on Sunday October 13, at the Mercure Brisbane, has been designed to showcase strategies for increasing your rental income, selling your property without lowering the price, and understanding opportunities where interest rates just dont matter.

Its all part of my mission to help ten thousand Australians get into property, whether a family home or an investment, without needing to jump through bank mortgage hoops or scrimping and saving to get a deposit together. This time its Brisbanes turn, said Mr Otton.

For full details or to reserve a seat at the Brisbane real estate event, visit HowToBuyAHouseForADollar.com.au or call 1300 888 450.

About Rick Otton

For over 23 years property millionaire Rick Otton has built an impressive real estate portfolio using innovative strategies that he has developed – strategies in which transactions are made without the need for traditional bank-type loans. He constantly refines his techniques as he buys and sells properties through his We Buy Houses business which operates in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

A gifted speaker and educator, Mr Otton conducts regular one-day free seminars across Australia, which build on the the concepts he shares in his 2012 book ‘How To Buy A House For A Dollar’, voted by Money Magazine and Dymocks Book stores as one of the Top 10 Most Popular Finance Titles for 2013.

He regularly records and publishes iTunes podcasts via his channel Creative Real Estate.

His innovative low-risk, high-reward approach to Australian real estate investing has been featured in a variety of television programs and magazines, including Today Tonight, Hot Property and Australian Property Investor.

Real Estate Investing Expert, Mike Eckerman, Announces the Five Best Strategies to Be a Savvy Real Estate Investor in Todays Las Vegas Market

Monday, October 14th, 2013


Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) September 27, 2013

Not many will argue that 2013 has been a good year for the Las Vegas real estate market. According to real estate data and research site, DQ News. Home price increases, for the former ground zero of the 2008 real estate collapse, have increases nearly 35% from a year ago. In addition, the National Association of Realtors reported a national six and half year high for existing home sales in August, crediting demand on limited inventory for the continued surge. New construction on single family homes is also on the rise, hitting a five year high, according to a report from the Commerce Department. Many of those permits have been issued in Las Vegas. All the signs of a sustained recovery are here. We have limited inventory and high demand continuing as well as an increase in new home construction says Mike Eckerman, CEO of Novus Dia Financial, a real estate asset management firm.

Eckerman is quick to point out the important role cash investors have had assisting in the recovery. According to Eckerman, investors are mainstays in Las Vegas and continue to pick up many of those distressed properties which have contributed to the overall growth. Like any other business, real estate investing requires a deep understanding of the market and its income producing potential. Las Vegas has been a hot market for first time, smaller investors and the larger, more sophisticated investors. Its a very competitive market right now, explains Eckerman.

With all of those encouraging components in play, Eckerman announces five important strategies to follow in order to become a savvy and sophisticated real estate investor in the Las Vegas market.

1. Know the Market: Having firsthand knowledge of the Las Vegas market can pay off in dividends. For example; According to the latest report from GLVAR, Las Vegas leads the nation in home price increases. Eckerman says to monitor those trends regularly and have a confident feel for where the market is headed.

2. Treat the Investment like a Business: Becoming a savvy investor means its important to approach the investment like a business. Like any business, the investor wants to see a profit. Its a great idea to draft up a business plan to include any potential overhead costs, such as construction improvements that may be needed prior to leasing out the property. Be prepared and have those potential expenses in order, Eckerman says.

3. Build a Network: In a competitive market like Las Vegas, the importance of networking can greatly increase the chances of cutting through the competition. It can also create new investment opportunities. Eckerman says, reaching out to other investors and setting up a rapport with successful real estate professionals in your key market can be extremely rewarding.

4. Understand the Risks and Have and Exit Strategy: Eckerman encourages using a buy and hold strategy on properties with terms between 3-7 years in order to see the long term appreciation on the property. This method allows the investor to get an accurate snapshot of the market in preparation if the right time comes to sell off the property.

Eckerman explains that if the market begins to show signs of slowing down, it shouldnt be an indicator for investors to wait it out. Sure, mortgage rates may increase but its not necessarily a bad thing. Its important to keep in mind that with any investment, youre hedging against inflation. Purchasing and owning a property that rises with the fluctuating tide will ultimately protect your wealth, regardless, explains Eckerman.

5. Have a Reliable Network of Professionals: Eckerman explains the importance of taking the time to hire and maintain a solid lineup of real estate professionals. Hiring CPAs who know the tax options and benefits as well as attorneys, who have a firm understanding of the local real estate laws, can offer protection from any unforeseen legal and tax challenges that might arise. For those investors looking to rent out their investment, having a property manager will take away the stressful burden of being a landlord, explains Eckerman. In addition, Eckerman also recommends hiring reliable contractors to handle light and heavy maintenance. With a good group of professionals at your disposal, investors are creating a sophisticated network that will increase and sustain a savvy reputation, explains Eckerman.
