Are those Energy Tax Credits expiring this year? 

The short answer is NO! With all of the things starting and stopping, you may be wondering if you can still take advantage of the federal energy tax credits. The answer is yes and you should plan your projects now.

There are really two programs: one for ENERGY EFFICIENCY and a separate one for RENEWABLE ENERGY. They have very different rules, a few of which are summarized here: Residential ENERGY EFFICIENCY Tax Credits · Part of the stimulus package apply to projects such as weatherization, high efficiency systems such as heating and air conditioning, high efficiency water heaters, energy efficient windows, etc. · The system requirements are specific - for example Energy Star® qualified appliances or windows do not all meet the requirements of this program. · The tax credit is 30% of the allowable costs of the equipment and installation. ·

The credit is capped at $1,500 for any one or multiple projects installed between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010. Thus these must be in service by the end of 2010 to be eligible for the tax credit. · These efficiency improvements must be installed in the owner's principal residence. Residential RENEWABLE Energy Tax Credits ·

 This program relates to the cost of equipment and installation of renewable energy systems such as solar-electric, solar hot water (domestic and home heating), wind generated electricity, geothermal heat pumps, and fuel cells. The eligible equipment is carefully defined. · Some of these credits have been in place for a number of years, but the current program applies to renewable energy systems placed in service after December 31, 2008 and before December 31, 2016. That is not a mistake - the program has a lifetime of 8 years. ·

The tax credit is again 30% of the eligible costs. · There is NO cap on the amount of the credit and unused credits may be carried to later tax years. · This equipment must be installed on a residence, but it does NOT have to be the taxpayer's principal residence. Ask your tax advisor if you could use these credits for a second home or a residential investment property.

Wow, 2000-2009 was such a blur!  The first decade of the new millennium was backed with more economic and life lessons vs the entire previous century combined.  What have we learned financially, emotionally, and of course personally/socially/economically?

Our history doesn't require us to look back too far regardless of the marketplace.  For seven of the past ten consecutive years, the majority of real estate markets projected and pointed to the top right corner of the chart.  What was amazing during this past decade was that the majority of people associated with the real estate industry expected the same result as the previous year to continue year after year. 

 For 2010 and the next decade, here is what I feel most Realtors should plan on effectively communicating with their sphere.  Firstly, let me qualify their sphere as the following:  Their family, friends, people they meet and will meet, past clients, current and future clients:

• For the people/sphere who have encountered recent strife or hardship and need counselling regarding their home-ownership options... The best thing we can do for these people are to explore all of their best options versus just trying to generate a quick sale.
• For the people/sphere who are planning on moving because of necessity... The best thing we can do is inform them of the best net options versus just trying to generate a quick sale.
• For the people/sphere who are planning on taking advantage of the marketplace and purchase a great investment... The best thing we can do for these people is to make them the most informed investor of the current marketplace because of its' volatility, changes and shifts that have occurred and will continue to occur.
• For the people we meet impromptu via open houses, in passing, socially, online etc... The best thing we can do is focus on providing them with the trusted resources and information to better serve their needs.

Wow, not that insightful when we simply read the words!  Let me be the first to criticize my own words.  In this this next decade, what comes out of our mouths as real estate professionals must come from the consumers perspective versus the agent lead/transactional perspective.  The moment our industry as a whole makes that transition from an agent/broker centric approach to the client centric approach; our industry as a whole becomes a more credible and necessary commodity versus a replaceable service.  Think about it!  More and more non-real estate entities are taking a run at the Realtors job description which is truly nothing more than finding people who are planning on moving and helping them.

As a real estate industry, our history tells us that nothing is constant and everything changes/evolves.  What should that be telling us as real estate professionals looking to survive and grow their business in this second decade?  Simply this... Focus on the following 3 points:

1. Our first decade of this new millennium has generated a mass exodus of real estate professionals and even more have hidden or parked their licenses with independent warehousing brokerages allowing them to be completely active, independent and virtually disengaged with the industry and the ever-changing times.  What should these agents be focusing on?  They should be surrounding themselves with people who are connected with the current industry changes so that as transitions begin to occur, they are connected with the people who are active and engaged with these transitions in a successful manner that won't come back and haunt them in the future.  We're all in business for ourselves, however we shouldn't be in business by ourselves.  Surround yourselves with people who are active and engaged in the industry.
2. Web 1.0 can be defined as a 15 year Ego Centric marketing platform that can be best described as agents bragging about their Top Producing capabilities, awards, production blah, blah, blah... As real estate professionals we need to make that full blown transition into the Web 2.0 or should we say 2.0+ which does involve being socially connected with our sphere.  Social networking is no longer social networking.  It is social marketing and that platform can be your best friend or worst enemy.  Get connected with your sphere in every way possible.  Never pass judgment on change, traditionalists always have trouble with change.  However, traditionalists are rarely the most effective people in their industry.
3. Finally, the majority of real estate professionals who are still in the game and are struggling... Take points number one and two to heart and get back to contacting your entire sphere, those you have worked with in the past and those who are currently looking to move.  That means, get out there and do exactly what your job description is... FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE PLANNING ON MOVING OR BUYING/SELLING REAL ESTATE AND HELP THEM!!!

Hope this finds you well.  God Speed and may your 2010+ be your best decade of this Millennium!

Greetings, Is it time to take control of your business?  It takes several years for agents to realize the various opportunities available at various brokerages.  The best any agent can do in any of the so-called 100% Companies is 100% less the cost of doing business.  All 100% companies have a cost of doing business, such as:  Rent, desk fees, deal fees etc. In fact, all companies have a cost of doing business and some take a significant piece of the agents commissions.  In this real estate market, the majority of agents have scaled back and transitioned to brokerages with the lowest cost of doing business and continue practising the only way they've known how to do business. However, many of them are realizing that although their monthly cost of doing business may have diminished, their business has diminished as well.  Why?  They continue doing what they've always done and the industry has evolved beyond their capacities.  Why?  Because they have harbored in a place that provides limited support, training, resources and technology.  Is it time to take control of your business?  Let me ask you this...   If you answer yes to 3 or more questions below, you and I should have a casual coffee or visit sooner than later:   Do you want more business opportunities within your real estate business? Do you want more affordable and better marketing technology? Do you want to lower your monthly cost of doing business? Do you want your Broker to provide you with actual saleable leads? Do you want your Broker to provide you with Short Sale Negotiators for your clients? Do you want your Broker to provide you with REO seller/client opportunities? Do you want to net more from your sales? Do you want to have access to concierge transaction management? Do you want a retirement income opportunity when you decide to slow down? Do you want more NON MLS business opportunities? Do you want your beneficiary to receive benefits in the event something happens to you? Do you want your Broker to provide you with weekly business building/training opportunities? Do you want your Broker to provide you with valuable training, locally and regionally? Are you open minded about your existing real estate business?    If you answered yes to 3 or more questions, you should be initiating a meeting with us sooner than later because this industry is changing quickly and will change much more and a much faster rate.  We are currently seeking the following agents and/or broker associates to fulfill the following roles and opportunities:   1 Licensed Agent seeking to work on a REO Team (Coon Rapids Office) 2 Licensed Agents seeking to do 3-10 BPO's on a weekly basis (CR Office) 3-5 Licensed Broker Associates or Soon-to-be brokers to be Nexus Team Leaders managing their business and a team of real estate. (2 additonal Bonus compensation plans).  We are opening a satellite office in one of the following areas:  Saint Louis Park, Plymouth, Maple Grove or Minneapolis. (The Team Leaders will determine the location) 1 Licensed Listing Partner for one of our top producers (CR Office) 2 Licensed Buyer Agents for one of our top producing Listing Teams (CR Office) 1 Licensed Office Assistant (CR Office)   If you are interested in any of the above, please respond to this at your earliest convenience.    Here at EXIT Realty Nexus, we are positioning our agents with opportunities beyond the conventional platform of this evolving real estate industry.  More importantly, in these economic times, our EXIT agents have the absolute LOWEST MONTHLY COST for doing business combined with the best technological marketing tools available in the industry.  Best of all, many of our associates are doing more business than ever, because of the un-conventional business opportunities available to them.  In fact, with the additional business and revenue opportunities, we have associates earning much more than the conventional 100% opportunities. One of our associates net split after all costs of doing business for 2009 was exactly 124%.  The extra residual bonuses paid to their family this year paid for a brand new car (cash), a wedding (cash) and two vacations.  That income for that one associate in our office came from only one year of residual bonuses.  Could you do anything with that?  This is not a multi-level marketing or profit sharing company sharing limited office profits with 100+ agents.  EXIT Realty is a single level revenue sharing model that allows any agent to earn an un-limited amount of residual revenue as any broker, manager or franchisee.  It is un-paralleled anywhere in the industry and even payable beyond death for our loved ones' benefit.  Could you do anything with that?   Who do you Know with EXIT? Talk with us and we'll let you know exactly how we can help you grow your real estate business beyond conventional strategies, marketing and platforms.  Plus, you'll have your best years in the business! Call us today and ask to speak with someone you already know within our Nexus of connected people.Call us at (763) 548-1400 or Visit us at:  www.CareersWithEXIT.info                                 About Us We're not interested in being a large brokerage holding mass numbers of real estate licensees.  We want to build real estate careers!  Ultimately, all we're looking to do is collaborate and work with good people who are engaged in the concept of growing their own real estate careers.  Let us show you how our unique and forward thinking tools, technology, training and support provided by some of the best leaders in the industry can help you build more business you never knew was even possible.

PRESS RELEASE

EXIT Realty Nexus and ROI Auctions announce a partial inventory reduction of over 50 properties going up for auction on October 24^th.  Renee Johnson, Dennis Dorman and Mike Berglund, all REALTORS® with EXIT Realty Nexus, along with Mike Harris of ROI Auctions are the key facilitators of this event.

 Held at the Embassy Suites in Brooklyn Center with registration starting at eleven o'clock, this special auction will showcase 55 lots with bids starting at below market value.  These auction lots, which are developed building sites in their respective municipalities, are available in Brooklyn Park, Maple Lake, North Branch, and townships in the Princeton area. These lots range from city lots to acreage lots.

 "This is a tremendous opportunity for anyone looking to build either now or in the future," explained Mr. Dorman.  "Additionally, we have owner financing available for those who qualify."  In the current economic climate, lots have typically been placed on the lower rungs of the credit priority ladder and financing has been difficult to obtain.   "Owner financing along with these lots being held in a traditional way makes it so that the purchaser does not have to wait for weeks or even months to get approval, only to wait again to close as they would with short sales or bank owned properties." said Ms. Johnson.

 "Forty percent of sales in August were lender mediated sales according to the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®; in most cases, it meant a lot of waiting on the part of the buyer to secure their property of interest.  Whereas with purchasing through an auction is vastly different" added Mr. Berglund.  Auctions have become a successful option in this ever-changing real estate market.  Consumers are able to leverage auction situations to set their own pricing, reduce waiting times, and in many instances purchase a property at below market value. 

"We are really excited about presenting these properties to the public," explained Mr. Harris. "We have some properties that will be sold absolute. In other words, the property will be auctioned to the highest bidder regardless of the final bid amount.  There will be no minimum bid on the absolute sales." 

 Walk-ins are welcome; however, space is limited.  Pre-registration is recommended for everyone interested in attending. Consumers and real estate professionals can visit www.realestateauctiondeal.com for additional information and questions on registration, financial requirements, the auction process or the inventory itself.  Furthermore, this team of experts has also set up a 24 hour hotline for general information on this event, 1.800.961.6706 ext 7326 for consumers and agents to call at their convenience.

For real estate questions and information, please contact one of the following; Mike Berglund at 763-548-1424; Renee Johnson at 612.636.2807, Dennis Dorman at 612.875.0033. For auction related questions and information, please contact Mike Harris at 763.245.7058.
