WHERE DOES THE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION GO FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

Last time we spoke about how the Real Estate industry creates the Real Estate market and today let’s talk about how the market is paid for. When a Real Estate company receives a fee it is split four ways. Let’s say the commission on a $216,000 home, which is the medium home price in America, is 6% or $12,960.00. One quarter or $3240.00 is paid to each of the procuring brokers. So the listing agent and the selling agent on average will receive $3240.00 each. Out of this they must pay for all their expenses like car, phone, yearly license and insurances, continuing education, web site, advertising, their part of franchising fees, MLS fees, cell phone and text equipment and monthly fees, 100 % of FICA tax (remember your employer pays half but an agent pay 100%), medical insurance, federal-state-local income tax, and supplies like signs, contracts, stationary, business cards etc. Expenses generally come to over 50% of the commission on the first 25 sale per year then the cost become a lower percentage as gross income rises. Of course, you tax bracket then starts to climb and cuts deeper and deeper into you income.

 

The Office for the buying and selling agent also receive $3240.00 each. Out of their percentage they need to pay commercial lease fees, commercial phone and utilities which are much more expensive than residential rates. The office décor and furniture must be paid for, secretaries, franchise fees, Real Estate Commission filings and storage for audits, book keeping for escrow accounts, salary for the managing Broker responsible to the State for all employed Brokers, the office web site, office advertising, accounting, taxes and name promotion. It usually takes between 50 and 75 transaction a year to start to make a profit.

 

Next time we’ll talk about how your agent saves you money. A home is a hard asset and is historically the best investment in inflationary times. Not only will you make money but You can live in your investment, while you will enjoy special income tax treatment.

MONEY, INFLATION, AND THE ZERO SUM GAME IN INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE INVESTORS

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

MONEY, INFLATION, AND THE ZERO SUM GAME IN INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE INVESTORS

 

Gold is sky rocketing as European investors bail out of the Euro and buy gold to hedge themselves against the American and European trillion dollar bail out of Greece, Italy, Spain, Britain, Portugal, Iceland, and to a lesser extent all of Europe except Germany. Since all of these countries, even Germany, are socialistic states with liberal governments they are all virtually bankrupt and have built a house of cards whose foundation is 100% taxation, borrowed operating cash, and printed money.

 

Every economy that is growing needs to inject new money into the market to keep up with the increase in population, business growth or market share, and improving life styles resulting from capital accumulation and profits distributed throughout the citizenry. The problem arises when the government is increasing the amount of money in the economy not because of more and higher profits in the countries business’s, not because the economy is funding a better life style, and not because of an increase in the hard working population, but only to create worthless fiat money to pay for a bloated and burdensome government who spends money the economy is not producing.

 

Adding currency is like you took a can of concentrated orange juice and added three can of water: this is a normal capitalistic economy in full production that lives within their means. Now, you add ten more cans of water to dilute the concentrate and use the money to pay for foolish bureaucratic and political programs that the productive segment of your society can’t afford: now your orange juice is ruined and just adding and borrowing more water will not make it taste better. This always causes inflation or hyper inflation, kills worker and business incentives, undermines the moral fiber of a society and changes or revolutionizes the political foundations. History has spoken loud and clear, this kind of economic destruction always leads to political collapse.

 

Wake up America we can’t keep printing and borrowing money to prop up a failed political agenda. The Soviet Union tried this and fell, and America will fall too if we don’t dismantle our failed bureaucracy.

COLORADO REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

COLORADO REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

I just went to the Republican State Assembly here in Colorado yesterday and I was struck at how mediocre the field of candidates is. They all had the current talking points and a funny quip about taking a vacation in Arizona. They had all attended a Tea Party rally, but not one of them seemed to have a vision: either a vision of what they wanted the future to look like, or a vision of what America stood for in the Past.

                               

They all complained about the deterioration of the American moral fiber, but had no real solution; they all bemoaned America’s bankruptcy, but there was no real plan to pay off the deficit or to balance the budget other than more slogans which said let’s balance the budget; there was no peroration persuading the American people that this slide into socialism will destroy our American way of life; there was no effective foreign policy to fight the war on terror and to bring our kids home; no policy to deal with North Korea or Iran; no understanding of the Chinese goal to invade Taiwan and their move to replace the US as the protector of Japan, South Korea, the Middles East oil producers or the entire Far East; no plan to defend the 10th Amendment; no solution to the Supreme Court’s tyrannical usurpation of our system of checks and balances; no strategy to stop the out sourcing of America’s job’s and America’s wealth to foreign peoples; no tactics to stop the free fall of our education system from kinder garden to university levels; No thought, No concept, No understanding of history, no dynamic thinking – nothing.

 

It seemed that whether you graduated from Tic Tock Tech or Harvard, Yale or Georgetown there was no ability to think beyond the slogans and analyze the real danger to the America we all love so well. Most were lawyers who came off as an illogical, clueless, unimaginative, bureaucratic bunch who all needed a better paying job mooching off the bureaucracy. Wake up America if we don’t return to the America of our Founding Fathers and Mothers we will go into the history books as a noble but failed political experiment.

 

It’s time to reject the also rans and the mediocre and demand accountability and real change. We are MARK ENGLISH REAL ESTATE and DISCOUNT MORTGAGES SERVICES (www.aloan2own.com) and are Your one stop shop for all Your EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE and CONIFER COLORADO REAL ESTATE.

GOVERNMENTS ARE REALIZING THAT THE WELL IS RUNNING DRY

GOVERNMENTS ARE REALIZING THAT THE WELL IS RUNNING DRY

 

Almost every local, city, state, and Federal government institution is in a major financial crisis. Many politicians, with long-term careers, are retiring because they are totally ill equipped to solve our present economic woes. I don’t think anyone but Obama believes that all the trillions of dollars of spending did anything to stimulate the economy. What governments need , what we all need, is a booming economy that is a moneymaking machine that generates income taxes, real estate taxes, sales taxes, etc.

 

Remember all those “toxic mortgage backed securities” that supposedly caused all our problems. Well they are not a problem any more we the people bought them for 100 cents on the dollar. Now the mega banks, who own the Federal Reserve, and who were bailed out by the American taxpayers, are all posting profits because you relieved them of all their bad investments. So then why isn’t the economy back to normal: simple – the big banking debacle was not the cause of our problems.

 

Now, every government body from the local tax assessor to the White House feel justified in taxing the will to succeed out of every citizen who has a dollar, in an effort to keep the ball in the air. Let the ball drop and lets address our real problems.

 

A home is a hard asset and is historically the best investment in troubles times. Not only will you make money but also You can live in your investment, while you will enjoy special income tax treatment. We are MARK ENGLISH REAL ESTATE and DISCOUNT MORTGAGES SERVICES and are Your one stop shop for all Your EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE and CONIFER COLORADO REAL ESTATE.

DUE DILIGENCE FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

DUE DILIGENCE FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

Oh when will they ever learn? This week I have had two people call me to straighten out the problems with their land purchases. The first women bought a lot from a developer who promised to put in all the utilities down the street. That meant telephone, electric, cable, water main, sewer main, and street paving. Her agent did not check out the developer, and did not do “due diligence” to see if there were bonds in place in case the developer defaulted. Now she has a house half built with no utilities and to put them in her self is just cost prohibitive. She bought the property from “Suzy Remax” but these situations are typical with almost all the franchise agents.

 

The other man bought his retirement property with an awesome view in Clear Creek County. He asked me to price out a three car garage with some living space above where he could stay while visiting his property before he built his retirement home. Mr. Franchise agent did not tell him that he needed to install 10 telephone poles or over 2000 liner feet of electric cable to get the electric and telephone to his new home. The cost will be almost $60,000. This could well mean that he can not afford to build, Again his agent did not do “due diligence.”

 

Buying land for building takes a special expertise. Don’t destroy you dreams and your bank account by hiring just any Real Estate Agent. You need a professional who knows land.

WATER RIGHTS BIG BUSINESS FOE EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

Monday, October 12th, 2009

WATER RIGHTS BIG BUSINESS FOE EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

Colorado, as many western states, has many complicated water rights laws. These laws have evolved through the centuries and have taken on a personality all their own. They are often the result of history and each state has adapted their water laws to their experience. There really is no universal water law that each state copies and just edits for its own use.

 

As a result many of the laws are seeming non-sense and it’s only with study, in the light of a historical perspective, that they begin to come into focus. Most people are not really concerned with where the water from their faucet comes from but if you want to build a home or buy a large parcel of land then you should hire a Real Estate Broker who understands water rights in Colorado. Even developed land is affected by water rights. When you consider buying a building lot you must add the cost of the sewer and water tap fees into the cost of your land.

 

As with everything that the government gets involved with the greater portion of the expenses is the result of legal fees. But please note that these water sewer and tap fees could easily be 40 to 50 thousand dollars per building lot for EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE and in many other parts of the state.

 

As You can well imagine Real Estate has become a very complicates business that effects every aspect of our lives. The wise Buyer uses a Professional Real Estate Agent like the experts at MARK ENGLISH REAL ESTATE to fully protect their interests and insure the profitability of their investments.

PRICES ARE STABILIZING FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

Although the prices for EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE are lower than they were during the market peak several years ago the prices are now stabilizing and even starting to increase.

I would not say that the market has turned and it is still a buyers market but the days of deep cuts in pricing are quickly fading away. Even foreclosures are being re-listed on the MLS for full value and mortgage applications are rising as sellers get some long awaited relief.

HEALTH CARE – TAXES – AN YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE WITH EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

HEALTH CARE – TAXES – AN YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE WITH EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

The news drones on each with talk of higher and higher taxes. This cap and trade, by even the most conservative estimates, will cost each person $250.00 to $350.00 dollars each year and steadily rise. That equates to an increased energy burden of $1,000.00 to $1,400.00 dollars per family of four. If you use a lot of electricity because you have electric heat or use you air conditioner in the summer you will pay much more. There will be no more drilling for oil and gas, and OPEC already is raising prices on the assumption that the Obama administration is going to severely curtail all drilling. Many states, like Colorado, have already eliminated most of the drilling on state and Federal land, driving the oil and gas business in Colorado into a major depression.

 

America is finding out that Obama had his fingers crossed behind his back when he said no new taxes. Any logical person knew that America was already bankrupt, and was bankrupt before President Obama arrived in Washington. But “hope springs eternal within the human breast.” Many people I speak to think that some rich guy or gale is going to pay for their free health care. Folks you are that rich guy and gal.

 

While all your fellow citizens are eyeing you income and your assets as a source of their health care, you had better realized that the government is your adversary. The bureaucracy is you enemy and they are passing legislation to confiscate your resources to fund their foolish agenda. You must protect yourself and insulate yourself from the greedy tax man.

 

Investing in Real Estate is the only option for Main Street. It’s the only investment that will shelter you income and your profits. It’s time to return to the fundamentals. If You want to prosper in these tough times you will need to earn a profit, protect it from the IRS, and can’t just depend on stock price speculation, or bond interest which is less than inflation. Now is the time to be successful; give us a call at MARK ENGLISH REAL ESTATE and DISCOUNT MORTGAGE SERVICES and let’s plan you retirement income. We are the one stop shop for all your Real Estate needs in the Rocky Mountains. Whether a home of Your own, a retirement investment, an EVERGREEN COLORADO HOME LOAN or an EVERGREEN COLORADO MORTGAGE REFINANCE call us at 303-674-0148, Email us at markenglishrealestate@msn.com , or visit us on the web at www.evergreencoloradoliving.com.
