JD Powers Listing Ratings

JD Powers Award Again

Great news! J.D. Power and Associates this morning announced that the Prudential Real Estate Network ranked “Highest Overall Satisfaction for Home Sellers Among National Full Service Real Estate Firms” in J.D. Power and Associates' 2010 Home Buyer/Seller Study. This represents the second time in three years our Network has been named for the distinction, which underscores your high leadership standards and the true quality of your companies. In short, you've excelled through varied market circumstances and selling customers have acknowledged your skill, expertise and service.

This distinction comes on the heels of additional great news from our Relocation Division. Trippel Survey & Research LLC, a customer satisfaction research company specializing in relocation data, ranked Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services first among several of the largest firms providing relocation services in its 16th annual Nationwide Relocation Survey. And, earlier this year, PRERS ranked first in overall satisfaction in Trippel Survey & Research’s sixth annual Relocation Managers’ Survey on International Policy and Service Providers’ Performance.

Indeed, we stand out from the industry’s finest and we have exciting plans to promote this fact. We've negotiated complete marketing rights for J.D.
Power and Associates’ study and for our favorable ranking. We will market through national advertising and a variety of venues

TREC fraud alert

TREC has recently learned about a scam in which a person pretending to be an agency employee may call a licensee with a story about a problem with the licensee's license status. The caller then offers to resolve the problem by asking for the licensee's credit card number to make a payment by phone.

DO NOT RESPOND to requests from TREC asking you to provide personal information, including credit card numbers, social security numbers, or any other identifying information. TREC does not accept any payments by phone and will never make such a request. Please remember to always carefully guard your personal data. If you receive a suspicious call from someone purporting to be from TREC, we recommend that you ask the caller for his or her name, then hang up, call TREC at the number on the website, and ask to be transferred to that person.

If you have received a suspicious call involving TREC and gave out personal information or otherwise feel your security may have been compromised, please first file a report with your local police department and then notify TREC of the situation.

Advertising HUD Homes

Advertising HUD Homes

All HUD registered brokers and their agents are encouraged to advertise HUD as long as they strictly adhere to the following rules:

Property must be listed for sale by the HUD listing broker

Advertiser must not convey the impression they are the sole source of property information or that they have an exclusive or favored sales listing or sales advantage

Advertisements cannot suggest the property is a “distressed sale” – HUD Owned or HUD Acquired is okay – but HUD Foreclosure is forbidden – no mention of foreclosure is allowed

All advertising just have the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype, statement or slogan
All ads must comply with the Truth-in-Lending Act – meaning do not advertise loan terms

If applicable – must include a flood plain notation.

Since Prudential Don Johnson is a HUD broker - as long as you follow the above guidelines - you may post them to Craigslist. Please keep in mind - all real estate advertising must include the name of the brokerage on each page.

Printing Labels for CirclePix Sign Rider

I use 5.5" by 8.5" weatherproof labels (Avery at Office Max) (2 to a page) - however, I print 4 to a page and cut the labels in half in order to get 4 labels to a page.

The Word Settings are: Font Calibri, font size 140 (type it in) top margin .2", left margin .17", Bottom margin .17", right margin .17". Paragraph spacing of "0 pt" Before and "0 pt" After

With these settings you can handle two listing sign riders.

767 Utopia - not listed (Jennifer Madison)

RE Inquiries on 767 Utopia (Jennifer Madison)

We do not have it listed, nor is there a listing agreement – it is an auction property. I will let him know to visit www.auction.com for details. If the property does sell at auction there will be a commission for us.

Short story on this one – it is a B of A property that is in horrible condition and I requested the listing be reassigned for this reason. The bank preferred to send it to auction because we all agreed they would probably make a better profit going this route. There are certain requirements for auction properties and I agreed to do the paperwork so they will still pay us. Normally, open houses are required for the 2 weekends prior to the auctions but due to condition we are not doing them because of potential harm to a buyer. There is a huge hole in the roof and there is mold – that was the main reason I did not want to list it.

I know there have been a few duty calls on this one as well – buyers can visit www.auction.com or call 800-793-6107 for more information. If one of our agents registers a buyer than they would get a commission for representing the buyer for this or any auction property.
