From cradle to grave, people love stories, and that doesn’t change when they search for a property to buy or rent.

Most building owners and multi-family real estate investors don’t realize that property management companies can completely relieve them of the day-to-day administration of property, prospects, and tenants. The ability to outsource oversight and stewardship of commercial property removes a considerable burden of responsibility, allowing CRE owners more time to focus on generating ROI on current and future investments.

Challenging the results of the appraisal for mortgage financing. The first thing to remember as a consumer or real estate agent, is that the client is the lender, not the consumer. Even though the consumer may pay for the appraisal, they are no more the client than is the credit reporting agency or title company hired directly by the lender. The lender obtains the appraisal to ensure that the collateral is adequate for the loan (remember the three C’s of credit, capacity, and collateral).
