I called them andfound out that to them a modest amount was -; they weren'tsure yet.I don't know if their definition of a "modest amount" struck mewrong or if I was just against paying more for this service, butI took the time to look in the phone book and find two of theirdirect competitors.I called each competitor and got price quotes on the exact sameservice.As you probably can guess, I found some lower prices withouteven mentioning what I was currently paying.

Here we look at the views expressed by leading economists together with a recent report from the National Association of Estate Agents.The housing market and general economy continues to fall, yet the National Association of Estate Agents NAEA has reported that in December there was a slight increase in activity with potential buyers and sellers tempted into the market, possibly by successive interest rates.

Wed, 16 May 2012 00:14:48 -0400

How An Immigrant With Just a Few Canaries Builds a Vast Fortune

Sun, 13 May 2012 02:16:33 -0400

by: Geoff Ficke In the 's Germany was in tatters. The formerly great empire was dismantled, the powerful army humiliated by its defeat in World War I and the population starved, cold and living in despair. Businesses that had been successful before the war were decimated by the outcome. There was no way to earn a living. For many Germans the only reasonable option available to pursue a better life was to immigrate to America. Before the outbreak of World War I, Max Stern had operated a successful textile business. The ravages of war left him with no factories, no customers and no financial options for cobbling his vast pre-war operations back together. Joining thousands of others, Mr. Stern fled post-war Weimar Republic Germany in the early 's. He landed in New York City, virtually penniless, but with a plan that was already operational for rebuilding his fortunes. Stern was not about to feel sorry for his plight. He was down, but only temporarily, because he brought more...

Selling Your Business Note

Sat, 12 May 2012 02:50:39 -0400

Why wait for payments on your note?In many parts of the country, business owners who sell theirbusiness must take back financing from the buyer in order forthe sale to be consummated. The reason- banks and otherconventional lenders are hesitant to lend money to fund businesssales because of the high failure rates, especially in the arenaof small businesses. Before I go further, let me ask a question- if you won thelottery tomorrow, would you take the payout in a lump sum or inmonthly payments? Most people would take a lump sum because even though it mightbe less than the total prize, they would have control over alarge sum of money now and could let the time value of money goto work and increase their winnings.So why then would you opt toget paid on your business sale over several years rather thantake a lump sum payout? The answer is probably because you didn't know that you couldget cash for your business note. Peacock Capital can help you tosell your business note...

Negotiating and Sales Skills Are Critical

Wed, 09 May 2012 02:53:53 -0400

When I first started getting active in creative real estate, myskill set at negotiating was very weak. I had done thetelemarketing thing for American Express as a financial plannerand had studied and learned a few techniques. On the surface onemight think that would be a perfect tie-in to talking to sellersabout their properties and their financial situation. I canpromise you it wasn't.Yes, I did pick up asking general sales techniques likeneverasking close-ended "yes" or "no" answers questions. Also,it still works to ask multiple choice assumptive questions like"Would Tuesday at p.m. or Thursday at p.m. work better foryou?". The basics were not enough.When I first began asking sellers what their loan balance was, Imay have actually received a number for an answer of thetime. I had two major obstacles facing me.First, my belief system was cock-eyed in that having come from afinancialaccountant type background, I knew without a shadow ofa doubt that no one wo...
