Piedmont CA Real Estate Agent Broker Anian Tunney Takes on Renting Over Ownership
Sunday, June 1st, 2014Piedmont, CA (PRWEB) May 22, 2014
In early May, the Wall Street Journal offended real estate professionals across the nation by publishing The New Math of Renting vs Buying, which suggests that in many markets it is actually less expensive to rent than buy. I am not sure of their data, but I will say that their logic is flawed, commented Anian Tunney, a residential real estate broker in Piedmont, CA.
According to exclusive data provided by Deutsche Bank, the monthly cost of renting was lower than buying in 20 large metropolitan areas at the end of last year. On the other hand, depending on the market, both Zillow and Trulia agree that home ownership is the way to go for people who plan to stay in the home for 2 to 5 years.
According to Tunney, the Wall Street Journal is making several flawed assumptions. First, is the presumption that renters have fewer expenses than homeowners. Renters have just as many expenses; they just have fewer checks to write. Landlords make sure rent covers taxes and repairs, as well as creates a profit. As a logical offshoot, Tunney remarked that, renters are investing in their landlords future, not their own. Owning a home is an investment. The equity owners build can finance everything from education to dream vacations even dream houses. A significant portion of home sellers are upgrading, some into the home of their dreams, notes Tunney. One such dream home for sale in Piedmont is 87 Sea View Avenue, offered at $ 5,250,000, a three story masterpiece with pool, au pair quarters, and elevator.
The Wall Street Journal also asserts that renters could make more money than owners by investing the difference of a mortgage payment and their monthly rent. That makes a major assumption about human nature that is just not realistic, claims Tunney. Most people do not consider the monthly difference in expenses as a boon to invest it is money to spend elsewhere. Having a residence requires a payment, yet for some reason homeowners are more likely to save than renters. Maybe it is a side effect of saving up for the down payment.
Regardless of the assertions of the Wall Street Journal, in the Bay Area homes are still selling. An example of Piedmont houses for sale is 199 La Salle Avenue, offered at $ 1,875,000.

Over 1 Million Dollars of Collectible Car Parts up for Auction
Friday, May 23rd, 2014
Wayland, Michigan (PRWEB) May 07, 2014
Cars now-a-days are not made like they once were, and when we see cars made many years ago we tend to stare in awe of the beauty, especially the parts that make up those cars. Many people will collect cars to preserve their beauty and show them off from time to time, especially in competition, and this is exactly what Al Maynard of Clinton Township did. Mr. Maynard custom built engines costing up to $ 100,000 and owned many one of a kind parts and components. His family has decided to give car enthusiasts a chance to purchase these rare items via an online auction.
The year was 1962 and this was the year where it all started. Al Maynard started his lifetime journey into competitive cars and became a member of the Competition Car Club. Al was very competitive within Car Clubs especially showing off his pride and joy, a 1957 Chevy sponsored by Standard Auto Supply.
In 1975, Als life was changed when he was honorably elected by MHRA to become the show chairman for the Detroit Autorama, and from then on accomplishments continued to pour in for Al Maynard. In 2002, Al was honored to be one of the 50 people to “Make a Difference” which contributed greatly to the success of the Detroit Autorama.
Al received many additional accomplishments in his lifetime such as being inducted into the Circle of Champions at the 2011 Detroit Autorama along with being honored at the Concours d’elegance of America show. Al also was given the honor of being the first person to have a registered class (Muscle Cars) to bear his name, an accomplishment that will never be forgotten.
Al Maynard bared knowledge of car parts and engines that would impress anyone, so much so, that in the 80’s, Super Chevy Magazine wrote a story featuring Al and some of his rare engines. With the passing of Al Maynard, he left behind thousands of auto and engine parts, with a large quantity of them being mostly new or like new. This extensive and highly sought after inventory of collectible and classic auto engine parts will be sold over a series of online only auctions.
These auctions feature so many great items that the entire collection will be held on three different days. The first auction (of 3 total) will take place via Orbitbid.com on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 and will feature thousands of items located at 3450 12th Street Wayland, MI 49348. The 2 following auctions are scheduled for May 20 & May 27, 2014.
These Featured Online Auctions will start at 8:00 a.m. and will begin closing at 6:00 p.m. the same day of each sale. Preview day will be on Monday, May 12, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. as well as sale day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Staff will be on-site with free wireless internet access to assist in bidding if needed.
Items selling on the online auction will include: 1000’s of auto parts (mostly new or like new), Mickey Thompson engine (1 of 2 known to exist), Proto-type Hemi Motor (one of 3 made), 1968 & 1969 Camaro/Chevelle/Corvette engine parts, 68/69 Camaro heads, Corvette blocks (starting with 1963), 870 Corvette motors & blacks, rare Corvette steering wheels, original automotive radios and much more.
Zurple Celebrates Its 4th Anniversary of Turning Real Estate Leads Into Clients and Enjoys Revenue Growth Over 7000%
Friday, October 25th, 2013
Carlsbad, California (PRWEB) October 21, 2013
Zurple, Inc. (zurple.com) today celebrated its fourth anniversary since incorporation. The company was recently recognized as #33 on Inc.s fastest growing companies list with three year revenue growth over 7,000%.
Said co-founder Ryan Owen: Im proud of what weve done in four years. We knew from our initial experience with one Coronado real estate agent that when an agent sends emails to real estate leads that reference the portal behavior of the lead, response rates go way up, and conversations ensue. Conversations ultimately lead to closings. We are proud to have brought that success to 3500+ Realtors over the last four years.
Robert Schulte, CEO of Zurple, stated: We know from having studied the data that real estate lead generation systems are nothing unless they can turn the lead into a conversation. Zurple does just that.

Zurple software analyzes a real estate leads click stream behavior and uses insights gained from it to start conversations between the real estate lead and Realtor.
