EP19- Can you trust online reviews real estate agents post?
On this episode: Kerri discusses 3 key points about whether you can trust online reviews real estate agents post? Here is what you should consider if you are vetting out real estate agents whether your are a home buyer or seller: - why you should do your homework and interview multiple agents - where to look online to vet them (Yelp, Google, Facebook, Zillow) - signs to look out for for a good (or bad) agent About your host Kerri  It all began with the game of Monopoly® I grew up in the late 1970s-early 1980s when video games were either unavailable or too pricey for my welfare-dependent family. So I played board games; Monopoly was my favorite. I developed my version of the game, with credit cards, loans, and renters, by the time I was eight. After working since age 14, and saving most of my pay, I set a goal—to become a homeowner by the time I was 25. One crack house in Oakland became “home sweet home” the day I turned 25. Three years later my boss, Moe, at the tattoo shop asked when I was going to purchase an income property. I claimed not to have adequate savings. That’s when Moe taught me the power of leverage. Over the next couple of years, friends and family would ask me for real estate advice. After being repeatedly told, “You have given me better advice than my agent” or “If you were an agent I would use you,” I earned my license in 2006. When the housing market crashed, I had to learn and adapt quickly. Instead of praying for a market recovery I looked for opportunities. My first question, “Who would be buying or selling in a market like this?” Two answers: Investors and short sellers. Investors came quickly; I am one and know the business. Short sellers came later when I met Monica Cabrera, an agent with an unmatched local short-sale track record. We joined forces and formed the Bay Area Short Sale Angels,* now Northern California’s #1 short sale team, in 2008. (www.BayAreaShortSaleAngels.com).  We have helped families, individuals, and investors avoid foreclosure and improve their financial future and outlook. Staying on top of the market has made us a trusted resource and trainer to other agents. Our 98% success ratio is unheard of in a business with a 50% national success rate. Our team of five now includes a successful buyers’ specialist. I have been a top producer for the last two years and enjoyed every detail of my work. I get to help others achieve their goals and, most importantly, to feel hopeful about their future. Thinking outside the Monopoly box led me to become a successful agent, team leader, and homeowner advocate I am today.  About your co-host Keith    Keith B Dixon is a freelance commercial photographer, specializing in corporate event photography, corporate executive and on-location, group portraits.

EP13- Spiritual energy in a home is often overlooked during a sale
Spirituality is a very personal experience and so is buying a home. The energy a home is giving off is just as important as the presentation. If you walk in a house and it flows, feels good, or looks good, that’s the energy. Susanna Delman, a Energy Architect at Essential Clearing, discusses how clearing spiritual energy can make a difference in a home.    "Susanna is an Energy Architect who works to create the shifts you desire in your home, your office and your life. She is a recognized expert on flower essences for animals and people with more than 20 years working both nationally and internationally. Susanna is a certified flower essence counselor, is a trained animal communicator, holds a Master of Public Health and is a Reiki Master. Susanna is the mastermind behind Essential Clearing and owns AnimalRx Essences and Inflorescence Flower Essences. She has been featured in Satya Magazine, as well as Swell! Magazine. Susanna is available to assist you and your companion animals with your emotional and behavioral needs. Visit www.nurturetransform.comand www.animalrxessences.com.

So I played board games; Monopoly was my favorite. I developed my version of the game, with credit cards, loans, and renters, by the time I was eight.   After working since age 14, and saving most of my pay, I set a goal—to become a homeowner by the time I was 25. One crack house in Oakland became “home sweet home” the day I turned 25. Three years later my boss, Moe, at the tattoo shop asked when I was going to purchase an income property. I claimed not to have adequate savings. That’s when Moe taught me the power of leverage.Over the next couple of years, friends and family would ask me for real estate advice. After being repeatedly told, “You have given me better advice than my agent” or “If you were an agent I would use you,” I earned my license in 2006.When the housing market crashed, I had to learn and adapt quickly. Instead of praying for a market recovery I looked for opportunities. My first question, “Who would be buying or selling in a market like this?” Two answers: Investors and short sellers.   Investors came quickly; I am one and know the business. Short sellers came later when I met Monica Cabrera, an agent with an unmatched local short-sale track record.

EP-6 Don't waste money on home repairs that yield little to no return on your investment
Are you are in the market to sell your home? If you have deferred maintenance, an outdated kitchen, or bathroom you might be thinking you need to fix them before you put your property on the market right? Maybe if you Invest a little, you might get a bit more back, right? Before you go out and buy that new garage door which will net a -2% return on your investment you should listen to this podcast.   Top producing Real Estate Agent Kerri Naslund-Monday talks about 12 key investments you should make before you list your home. Kerri talks about:   Looking at your property through the eyes of the buyer Why repairing small cracks are important The importance of curb appeal  Using the right color paint on your front door The importance of using professionally composed photos (HOT TOPIC Jump to 17:55) Fixing up eye sores next door your property Doubling down on your investment Selling your home based on what buyers are looking for Cleaning the windows makes a huge difference  Staging is a must for the property Speaking to the sub-conscience of a buyer is the key Investing in the kitchen is one of the best moves you can make   About your host Kerri It all began with the game of Monopoly® I grew up in the late 1970s-early 1980s when video games were either unavailable or too pricey for my welfare-dependent family. So I played board games; Monopoly was my favorite. I developed my version of the game, with credit cards, loans, and renters, by the time I was eight.   After working since age 14, and saving most of my pay, I set a goal—to become a homeowner by the time I was 25. One crack house in Oakland became “home sweet home” the day I turned 25. Three years later my boss, Moe, at the tattoo shop asked when I was going to purchase an income property. I claimed not to have adequate savings. That’s when Moe taught me the power of leverage.Over the next couple of years, friends and family would ask me for real estate advice. After being repeatedly told, “You have given me better advice than my agent” or “If you were an agent I would use you,” I earned my license in 2006.When the housing market crashed, I had to learn and adapt quickly. Instead of praying for a market recovery I looked for opportunities. My first question, “Who would be buying or selling in a market like this?” Two answers: Investors and short sellers.   Investors came quickly; I am one and know the business. Short sellers came later when I met Monica Cabrera, an agent with an unmatched local short-sale track record. We joined forces and formed the Bay Area Short Sale Angels,* now Northern California’s #1 short sale team, in 2008. (www.BayAreaShortSaleAngels.com). We have helped families, individuals, and investors avoid foreclosure and improve their financial future and outlook. Staying on top of the market has made us a trusted resource and trainer to other agents. Our 98% success ratio is unheard of in a business with a 50% national success rate. Our team of five now includes a successful buyers’ specialist.   I have been a top producer for the last two years and enjoyed every detail of my work. I get to help others achieve their goals and, most importantly, to feel hopeful about their future. Thinking outside the Monopoly box led me to become the successful agent, team leader, and homeowner advocate I am today.   About your co-host Keith  Keith B Dixon is a freelance commercial photographer, specializing in corporate event photography, corporate executive and on-location, group portraits.
