World Wide Referrals Links Consumers with Top Realtors as New U.S. Home Sales Rise Fastest in Five Years

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013


Bethesda, Md (PRWEB) June 29, 2013

World Wide Referrals is capitalizing on improvement in the U.S. housing market, as new home sales jumped in May, helping find consumers the best houses for sale in hot U.S. housing markets. New homes in May sold at the fastest pace in five years, showing steady improvement in the housing market. Analysts predict the increased demand for new and existing homes will continue through the year, helping the economic recovery.

The government reports that sales of new U.S. homes increased 2.1 percent compared with April, rising to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 476,000. The Commerce Department said new home sales increased 29 percent compared with May 2012. Regions with May sales gains were the Midwest (up 40.7 percent) and the Northeast (up 20.7 percent), as well as the West (up 3.6 percent).

May sales of previously owned homes also increased to an annual rate of 5.18 million. The last time sales exceeded 5 million was November 2009, but sales were aided by the looming expiration of the government home-buying tax credit.

In addition, the inventory of unsold homes rose 2.5 percent to 161,000 in May. New home prices also are on the rise due to increased demand for a limited supply of homes for sale. The median new home price rose 10.3 percent from a year ago. And according to the National Association of Realtors, sales of previously occupied homes in May topped 5 million for the first time in more than three years.

According to news reports, home prices in key U.S. cities have soared in the past year.

Highlighting this positive news is home sales website Trulia, which recently released its 2013 list of Top 10 Healthiest Housing Markets, focused on markets with strong job growth, low vacancy rates and low foreclosure inventory. Trulias top-10 markets are: Houston, Texas; San Francisco, Calif.; Bethesda-Rockville-Frederick, Md.; San Antonio, Texas; Seattle, Wash.; Omaha, Neb.-Iowa; Peabody, Mass.; Fort Worth, Texas; and Louisville, Ky.-Indiana.

Another trend helping fuel home sales is an increase in foreign investors buying U.S. homes. Asian investors are helping accelerate the purchase of U.S. real estate, especially helping the Washington, D.C., market, where properties are being snapped up soon after they hit the market. The increasing wealth in Asian countries is accelerating this trend.

World Wide Referrals has a global network of nearly 700 premier real estate firms with 5,000 offices and 150,000 sales associates in 35 countries. Collectively, this group in 2008 sold over a million homes worth $ 300 billion, more than any national real estate brand. The network dominates the U.S. list of top-500 real estate firms, with more of the number-one market leaders in the top-90 markets than any other network.

The company can help consumers find their dream home or advise them on virtually any real estate transaction. In addition, it can connect corporations with a premier relocation management company to help businesses manage their employee mobility. RELO Direct, Inc., is the rising player in corporate relocation based on its high-tough, high-efficiency, high-value approach to the employee transfer business.

Realtors Road to Success Paved 35 Years Ago

Tuesday, September 4th, 2012


JUPITER, Fla. (PRWEB) September 02, 2012

Erik Pariseleti is Waterfront Properties and Club Communities’ Tequesta sales specialist, listing homes from the $ 200,000s to $ 1 million. The experienced Realtor quadrupled the number of listings he sold in the year ending June 30, compared with the same period in 2011, and has several listings under contract.

Pariseleti sold his first home at the age of 8. The young boys commission: a brand-new bicycle. He never lost his childhood knack, and now he shares it with the 1,500-plus members of the Jupiter-Tequesta-Hobe Sound Association of Realtors. For five years, he has served on the board and as a committee liaison.

Pariseleti also was selected as the associations state director, and when he’s not showing homes for sale in Heritage Oaks or property in Rolling Hills, he travels to conferences to learn about legislative issues impacting the real-estate industry and attends three association meetings every month.

The biggest thing is educating our membership, he said. Seeing how more of the back side of the business of real estate works has definitely helped me.

The western Massachusetts native obtained his first Realtors license in the Bay State and sold mostly farms and parcels of land. Real-estate deals in the rural region were slow-going, so he embarked on an adventurous career as a logger and a cattle rancher.

One wintry day 10 years ago, he had an epiphany when he found himself walking through two feet of snow with a chainsaw on his shoulder in the brutal cold. Jupiter became his new home.

Pariseleti quickly qualified for his Florida Realtors license and worked for a handful of large real-estate firms before joining Waterfront Properties.

Waterfront is totally different than every other company, he said. Every other company, youre an individual agent. Here, its like a partnership. Its the ideal situation.

The husband and father of twin girls, whose wife Michelle also works at Waterfront Properties, said he cant imagine going back to a traditional firm. One of the reasons is the boutique companys international marketing efforts.

Waterfront Properties is a founding member of Mayfair International Realty, a global online network of luxury real-estate brokers and agents. That paid off for Pariseleti in 2011, when Mayfair landed him a buyer from Sweden who purchased one of the homes for sale in Tequesta.

We dont have to worry about any of the marketing, he said. Waterfront takes care of all of it. Everything we do is focused on our market. Its good for the seller. Youre getting an expert.

Pariseleti proved his expertise 35 years ago, when he was sweeping up job sites after school for his father, a custom-home builder. A couple walked by one of the sites and asked him whether the house was for sale.

This house was the same as the one we were living in at the time, Pariseleti said. I knew every nook and cranny.

He gave them an on-the-spot tour. After the couple bought the place, the owner was so impressed he designed a special T-shirt for the fated Realtor. It read, No. 1 Salesman.

Little did I know the Realtor was making money out of it, Pariseleti said. I did get a bike out of it, though.

For information about Tequesta real estate, call Pariseleti at 561-746-7272.
