				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as I&#8217;m learning here at <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a>, there&#8217;s one thing that&#8217;s undeniable.</p>
<p>No matter how much training I get. No matter how many systems I put in place. No matter if I become an absolute genius&#8230; One guy simply can&#8217;t get it all done without a great team in place and quality outside vendors.</p>
<p>Over the years, I&#8217;ve put together a rockstar team that I feel can get anything done. They can figure out any problem and as a result, just about every problem that comes up will be taken care of. Without that, even the best offers, negotiations, and ideas will go nowhere.</p>
<p>To learn more about the team I have in place, and how they can help me, help you, get you the home of your dreams, just fill out the form below.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once you get your offer accepted, then the real work begins – even though it&#8217;s behind the scenes where you can&#8217;t see it.</p>
<p>A lot of average agents squeak by on doing a great job while you&#8217;re looking, and letting things go once they get behind the scenes.</p>
<p>In order to get your offers accepted, it&#8217;s no secret that you need to write very strong offers. Strong offers make a lot of promises that are tough to keep without a system in place to nurse the sale through to the end. Well I&#8217;m learning some amazing strategies on getting the sale through for you at <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard, the difficulty in buying a home in Modesto right now is massive.</p>
<p>The competition is stiff, but we&#8217;re learning how to knock the competition out here at <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a>!!!</p>
<p>The simple act of writing your offer along with effective negotiation, can be all it takes to determine whether you search for months on end unsuccessfully, or find the home of your dreams.</p>
<p>Without a strong offer, effective negotiation, and perfect follow through on your promises are what will get you that dream home. You need to have a plan, because right now&#8230; winging it won&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>To come up with a real plan, and to learn how to stop winging it, fill out the form below. I&#8217;ll be in touch as soon as I come back from <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m learning here at <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a> that there is a science to finding the best deals.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t happen by accident. People who want a great deal, go get a great deal on purpose. Once you get wrapped up with multiple offers, then it becomes even more strategic and scientific on getting your offers accepted above all others. Imaging if you could:</p>
<ul>
<li>Write offers that are so good, they beat out offers that are higher in price</li>
<li>Differentiate yourself from the pack so well, that your offers get noticed every time</li>
<li>Get access to homes, that haven&#8217;t even been listed on the market yet</li>
</ul>
<p>I bet doing just one of those 3 could make your home buying dreams come true. All 3 though, could change it all.</p>
<p>To get more information on how I can help you do all those things, just fill out the form below and I&#8217;ll be in touch as soon as I get back from <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We learned at <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a> that the single biggest investment you can make, in your future home equity, is an interest rate buy-down.</p>
<p>Doing an interest rate buy down – even a small one – makes so much sense, because the effective interest rate of a fully amortized loan is much higher for the beginning years of a loan. It&#8217;s actually compounded in a way where it&#8217;s higher at the beginning, and lower at the end.</p>
<p>So an interest rate buy down would have the same compounding effect making the savings even bigger for the first several years. With the average person staying in their home for 5-7 years, doing this just makes sense.</p>
<p>To learn more about interest rate buy downs, just fill out the form below and I&#8217;ll be in touch as soon as I get back.</p>

<p>Having a solid, custom fit, home buying strategy is an essential part of the home buying process. This is not as easy at it seems though, and coming up with a strategy that works is tough.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s tough because your agent needs to ask the hard questions. He has to find out what your true reasons are for buying, and then come up with a plan based upon his answers.</p>
<p>Ask me more about coming up with a custom home buying strategy for you, by filling out the form below. I&#8217;ll get in touch as soon as I get back.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here at <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a>, they’re telling us that the hallmark of the average real estate salesperson is over-promising, and under-delivering.</p>
<p>What a terrible way to be perceived.</p>
<p>There’s a reason for that though. It’s because the average agent simply doesn’t have the tools, systems, and team members that allow them to follow through on their promises. Agents know what’s expected of them, so they promise it.</p>
<p>The problem is that it’s just not possible for an agent to wing it, and do everything that’s expected of them.</p>
<p>At this <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a> conference, I’m learning even better ways to build, and add to systems that I’m already using. I’m learning how to find and utilize irreplaceable team members. And I’m also learning about more tools that I can use to help you.</p>
<p>If you want to learn more about the systems, tools, and team strategies that I’ll use to sell your home quick, and for top dollar, just fill out the form below. I’ll be in touch as soon as I return home.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everybody knows that negotiation is a very necessary skill to have as a real estate professional. So most people just assume that real estate agents are good at negotiating.</p>
<p>That simply isn’t true.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a>, I&#8217;m learning that the average real estate agent sells only 8 homes per a year. This is barely enough income to live on, which means the average agent NEEDS every single sale he gets. In other words, he needs your home to sell more than you do.</p>
<p>Do you really feel like somebody in that situation is going to be a strong negotiator, or are they going to do whatever they can do to make the sale happen?</p>
<p>You need a strong negotiator.</p>
<p>To learn more about the strong negotiation tactics I’m learning at <a href="http://www.lovelymodestohomes.com/im-at-egs12-this-week-for-you/">#EGS12</a>, fill out the form below and I’ll be in touch as soon as I get back.</p>
