WOW!!!! To get amazing information about the real estate market, tune in to WOR radio, 710AM every Saturday morning, 10am-12pm. If you are a listener outside of the New York area, you can go to the WOR website and listen to the live streaming audio of the show.

Whether you are thinking of buying, selling, renting or investing, this show will answer all of your real estate questions.
There are podcasts also available from every show on the WOR site.

Business as Unusual

Today we had a great class for our agents, helping them craft their listing presentations. Clients really need a more informed presentation, filled with pertinent, valuable market information as well as how the current conditions affect the sale of their home.

Everything has changed; mortgages, contracts, appraisals, financial markets, buyers... We as real estate experts must be able to effectively communicate all of this in a way that makes sense and is applicable to each individual transaction.

A relevant article found on WSJ online, Crafting the Contract highlights how contract language has dramatically changed in the last few months. There have been several articles on financing/purchasing (my April 7th post and 4/16), as well as Jonathan Miller's post, Galloping to Thinking About Buying a New House .

All in all, clients want all the information and research available to make an educated decision. It is our job to make that happen.

The World Welcomes Helix

Jonathan Miller does it again!!!!
He lives among humans as a mild-mannered appraiser by day for the Gotham appraisal firm, Miller Samuel. By night he is a superblogger, authoring MATRIX and SOAPBOX. He now has another addition to his blog family-- The Housing Helix!!!!
Hollywood Miller, as he is known to all of his fans, has now entered the podcast world, poised to release a weekly podcast (at the beginning of each week) to recap the prior week's market events. He will also be including any of his televised and radio broadcast interviews about the housing market. Sadly, Jonathan will not be delivering any musical renditions of the housing market news, but perhaps he will add this if the demand is high.
But seriously, all of us will be able to use the recaps to keep us current and informed in this crazy marketplace. I for one am going to buy a "dedicated" ipod to house all of "Hollywood's" podcasts.
Luv ya buddy!!!
