News Flash: Your Home’s First Showing is Online – Knoxville Real Estate Team, the Holloway Group, has Posted a New Article on their Website

Saturday, January 26th, 2013


Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) January 24, 2013

The Holloway Group, the leading Knoxville real estate team at Gables & Gates, REALTORS, has posted a new article to their website titled “News Flash: Your Home’s First Showing is Online.”

A recent cooperative study released by The National Association of Realtors and Google shows how people search for homes on the Internet. In The Digital House Hunt: Consumer and Market Trends in Real Estate, we are able to see the amazing impact and effect digital media is having on real estate. There is no doubting the huge impact that the Internet has become in everyday living, but the statistics brought to light by this study show with blazing clarity both the effectiveness and importance this tool has for searching Knoxville homes for sale. The following are some highlights of the study:

90% of home buyers searched online during their home-buying process.
52% of home buyers use the web as their first step in the process.
Real estate-related searches on Google.com grew 253% over the past four years.
36% of new home shoppers utilize a mobile device while they are watching television.

Troy Stavros, Broker and Partner with the Holloway Group at Gables & Gates, REALTORS stated, “As a seller, you have to realize that your first showing is no longer taking place in your home, it is happening on the internet. If your listing isn’t winning a potential buyer over online, they more than likely will never show up at your door.”

The benefits of the digital home search are widespread. Buyers have the opportunity to complete “first showings” of potential homes at their leisure from a computer or mobile device. Buyers can not only search Knoxville homes for sale, but research areas to live and find a REALTOR for representation. Because of these buyer benefits, home sellers benefit from having more educated buyers and more effective showings. Real estate agents benefit from getting buyers who have already done research and are able to make faster buying decisions.

While there is no doubt a wealth of information is out there in the digital space for home buyers and sellers, there is still an abundance of value to be garnered from a seasoned agent. REALTORS are still the best resource for local information, negotiations, and the pulse of the local market.

Best Real Estate Investing Strategies for 2013 Published Online at TedThomas.com

Monday, January 14th, 2013


Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) January 07, 2013

Real estate is one investment area that usually performs well with each passing year. The value of property can increase each year that it is held by investors. A new best real estate investing strategies for 2013 guide has been authored by Ted Thomas and is now published online. This video guide is available here on the TedThomas.com website.

This guide is offered in video form and includes information about how beginning and experienced investors can use specific strategies to expand portfolios.

Some new and experienced investors select areas in real estate like foreclosures to help build personal wealth. The rise in foreclosures in many U.S. states has helped many people to purchase property and either hold or sell the property for a profit.

While this method works for many people, it is the initial investment required that can often prevent someone to get started with this type of strategy.

Part of the new information that is included in the 2013 guide includes ways to invest that do not require a large sum of money. One of the strategies discussed by Ted Thomas is how a simple $ 100 investment could build a guaranteed return of up to 36 percent. These small investments are one example offered in the video to introduce some of the new ways that properties can help expand investment opportunities.

Most people do not know that some investments in real estate are backed by the government, said Ted Thomas in his video series. Almost all U.S. states have opportunities for mortgage-free real estate investing, added Ted.

Over 30 books and DVDs have been authored by Ted and the majority are now online. The new website e-commerce store has been built to provide a resource for men and women that are searching for more alternative investment information. These books and other educational materials include updated information that is now found attending in-person seminars or other advanced workshops. These materials can be accessed online at http://tedthomas.com/products.

The development of Internet technologies is now helping more people to access the resources that are published online at TedThomas.com. For more than 25 years, Ted Thomas has been an author, lecturer, public speaker and top real estate investor. The information products that are offered online represent part of the learning materials that are available from Ted’s official website.







Tax Certificate Investing Book Now Published Online at TedThomas.com

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013


Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) December 23, 2012

TedThomas.com has published a new tax lien certificate investing book online. This book is written for those that want to learn this alternative real estate investing strategy without attending in-person seminars or online training programs. This new book can be acquired online at http://www.tedthomas.com/products.

The information that is now included inside of this book is applicable to all U.S. states. The strategies that are offered are updated routinely as information is changed at the state level.

Taxation is one way that local, state and federal governments use to fund programs that help others. Government workers also receive salaries in part due to the tax collection that is enacted by current laws.

The newly published tax book includes an overview of the investment loopholes that are currently available in state tax codes. These loopholes make it possible for payouts to be as high as 36 percent when investing at the state level in government-backed securities.

The government guarantees returns paid to investors that know how to use this tax loophole method, said Ted Thomas in his new book. Each state offers a different rate although the strategy is the same, added Ted.

A percentage of taxes at the local, state and federal levels go unpaid each year according to Ted’s book. It is this taxation gap that can be taken advantage of by investors that know how to use the loopholes written into the state tax codes. Those that invest in real estate or make other investments annually could find the information in the brand new published guide useful.

The TedThomas.com website online includes access to over 30 books, guides and other training materials that are written for beginners but include advanced information. A new series of webinars are available to help introduce more advanced concepts that are included in the book series.

About Ted Thomas

Ted Thomas is one of the few instructors that teach government-backed investment strategies online and offline. Ted has provided this training for more than 20 years and the information is updated constantly as state tax laws are changed. The unique investment strategies that are offered to average people through books, courses and seminars is authored by Ted Thomas. Ted remains active as an investor and consultant as well as a top investment speaker at real estate conferences and business conferences in the U.S. and Canada.
