Inman's "Most Influencial Real Estate Leader" is Dave Liniger founder of RE/MAX. A guy with a dream in the 70's !

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:52:35 -0500

Inman's "Most Influential Real Estate Leader" is Dave Liniger founder of RE/MAX. A guy with a dream in the 70's !

I'm so excited that Dave Liniger was named. It's truly a representation of who he is and what he aspires to on a daily basis for RE/MAX INTERNATIONAL and his RE/MAX Brokers & Agents.

This is a guy that had a dream in the 1970's and went with it. He grew his office by hiring women....yes, I said women back in the day when a Real Estate Consultant was a man and the women were their secretaries. He saw what others didn't; what a woman could bring to a Real Estate transaction and mentored these ladies to be strong Leaders, like himself. If you haven't read the book "Everybody Wins" by Phil Harkins and Keith Hollihan about the story and lessons behind RE/MAX its an incredible read of the struggles and journeys, I strongly suggest it."

Here is the actual press release:

"Change is going to overwhelm those who don't embrace it," Dave Liniger said to a crowd of more than 1,400 industry professionals attending Real Estate Connect in New York City on Thursday, just after he was named the Inman News "People's Choice" Most Influential Real Estate Leader.

The "People’s Choice" honor is given to the real estate leader who has made the most significant contributions to the industry during the past year, based on the popular vote in an online poll.

In addition to expressing his sincere thanks to Inman readers, Liniger also briefly reflected on the past 39 years that RE/MAX has operated. In particular, he called attention to changing technology as a symbol of the increasing pace of business – and the importance of keeping up.

"Very simply, two or three years ago, most of us had never even heard of an app or an iPhone, let alone an iPad," Liniger said. "Right now, 600,000 apps have been created for those devices in less than two years. That shows you the speed of change that's happening."

He added that agents can't stick their heads in the sand if they want to remain successful.

The RE/MAX organization is coming off one of the most dynamic years in its history. Among the highlights: earning two J.D. Power and Associates awards, launching the global.remax.com website, growing its worldwide presence, boosting its commercial standing, helping thousands of distressed sellers, and upgrading its programs in training, technology, social media and brand marketing.

Liniger credits the network’s top-producing agents for its ongoing success.

"The key to RE/MAX has been the quality of its Sales Associates," he told Affiliates in a New Year’s video message. "Individually, you are the best at what you do. Collectively, we’re a force that can’t be stopped."

Overall satisfaction is determined by 3 factors of the Buying side: agent/salesperson, office; and variety of additional services.

What's happening in Garden Ridge, Texas? Market statistics

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 18:57:01 -0400

What's happening in Garden Ridge, Texas? Market statistics

As I'm preparing for my next listing appointment I pulled up some very interesting statistics on what is happening here in Garden Ridge, Texas.

I did a comparison of all SOLD properties between the 2nd quarter of 2010 and 2011.

Seems that in 2010 our average SOLD price was $319,575 and it took 98 days on the market for these to sell. But something else jumped out at me when doing the comparison and that was the Average Sales Price to List Price being at 97% (some great numbers there)! The sales price to the original listed price was at 96% (again great numbers). Considering these numbers this tells me that pricing was great and time to sell was good for the 2nd quarter of 2010.

Now, let's look at this year's 2nd quarter, 2011.

2011 average SOLD price was much higher at $375,699 so seller's are actually getting more cash for their house. But the sales price to list price was at 94% and the sales price to the original list price was at 92%. The average days on market was 286. What does all of this mean? That seller's are listing their homes at a higher price point and having to make reductions or accept offers that are lower than what they would normally of had to accept.

What does this tell us in the current climate of the market for Garden Ridge, Texas? That listing your house at the "market price" means shorter time on the market, not as many price reductions and less wear and tear on the Seller for showings.

Thinking about putting your house up for sale? Call me I would love to run the stats on your neighborhood!
