Negotiating a property to the best possible price is one way to build instant equity into your property. Remember that buying the property right is the key to your Real Estate Investment(s). So, how do you get a seller to take less than they should?
As a buyer, it is important to recognize the difference between getting a great price and BUYING QUALITY PROPERTIES AT A DISCOUNT. Price is only part of the evaluation of a property. You do not have to look further than some of the Bank Owned Foreclosures and Short-sales in southern Utah to see the difference.
I know you have many choices when it comes to choosing a real estate agent, and I just wanted to thank you for letting myself be your "go-to" real estate source in southern Utah. I take that job very seriously and will be here for you and your friends and family for the long haul!
Kind Regards,

The future of the St. George economy is brightIt's no secret that the national economy continues to remain stagnant.

Now the Federal Reserve is projecting the U.S. economy's growth potential could be as small as 2.1% a year. With all that doom an gloom about the national economy, you may not know the economy is doing so lousy if you live in St. George! Yahoo Finance has listed ten metropolitan areas that are expected to grow at least 4.2% for the rest of this decade, bringing jobs along with them.
In Lance's latest video, he discusses what is called the absorption rate, and how that can tell us if it is a buyers or sellers market here in the St. George area and beyond.

There are different ways to hold title to real property and most people don't really understand the difference between "Joint Tenancy" and "Tenancy in Common". In this article I hope to educate you on the differences between the common ways to hold title. I strongly suggest that you contact an attorney or your estate planner to make sure that the way you decide to hold title is appropriate for you and your situation.
