What Does A Real Estate Advisor Really Do All Day?


 

Have you ever wondered what a real estate advisor really does all day? I mean, do they really just stick a for sale sign up and collect a paycheck?

NO we do not…

What Does Brad Really Do All Day?

Many people think the life of a commercial real estate broker consists of putting a sign on a property you have for sale and sitting back and watching the money roll in…

It may look simple and easy on the outside but the work we are doing behind the scenes is so much more.

 

First things first, we always have our clients back whether it works out in the best financial interest of ourselves or not.

There is nothing more aggravating in our world than when you watch a broker do things that benefit only himself.

They are a detriment to the interest of their client.

Another aggravating part of our world is when a broker calls you up and the first question he asks is, how much am I getting paid…

Don't get me wrong, I like to get paid like anybody else, but I have a motto “if I do the work, I'll usually get paid.”

And over 30+ years in the commercial real estate business that motto has never failed me.

Our job as a commercial real estate broker is to take all the stress out of the transaction for our client…

Yes, sometimes that means taking it upon ourselves but that's our job.

If you have clients that would like to have an advisor that will always have their back and give them unvarnished straight forward advice about their real estate holdings, I'm your guy.

Conversely, if your clients like to have smoke blown up their skirts on the inflated value of their properties, don't have them call me.

I DON'T NEED NO STINKING TITLE COMMITMENT!

  Why Do  I Need To Get A Title Commitment?   I get this question from my clients a lot. The cost of a real estate title search & commitment is minuscule compared to the stress and expense of buying a property with a cloudy title. A seller will assert that in the 50 years they’ve owned the property, there was never a mortgage, and there are no current or prior issues, so why pay for a Title Commitment? A buyer will defend personal relationships, stating they have known Mr. or Mrs. Property Owner for years, and if they say the title is clean, why question it? There are many, many reasons to get a Title Commitment and very few to NOT get one. -           Credibility and Confidence :         For sellers: a clean Title Commitment will provide invaluable peace of mind to a buyer.        For Buyers: If a property does not have a clean title, I wouldn't recommend purchasing, here's why.  -          A Title Search might reveal forgotten mortgages.         For Seller

Shining the Light on Farmland Leases

  Touching The 3 rd Rail: Farmland Leases   When you think of “top secret” information, what comes to mind? It might surprise you to learn that some of the most closely guarded information in the business world is not a password, account number, or safe combination, it’s Farmland Lease Rates. Bet you didn’t see that one coming. These lease rates are often set and then forgotten, never seeing the light of day again. Surprisingly, there is no clearing house of information or database of comps for landowners & potential tenants to research when trying to determine a lease rate. The agreed upon rates are, more or less, a shot in the dark and sealed with a handshake between friends. I could write a book after all of the issues I’ve helped landowners through when it’s time to renegotiate an existing lease or sell their property and the stories are always the same. Mr. & Mrs. Landowner have leased their farmland to an old friend for years and the lease rate has remained the
