How Do I Find the Best Real Estate Agent?

This is a commonly asked question we get all the time and one that is not straightforward to answer. The way realtors are generally ranked is by their amount of sales. This shows which realtors are transacting the highest volume. This does not necessarily mean they are doing the best service.

It is important to interview the agent and find someone you are comfortable with. You should have a general positive feeling and feel that the agent is trustworthy. It is a good idea to ask friends who have recently bought or sold a home about their experiences. It is likely one of your friends will recommend a realtor they have done past business with. Every client is going to have different needs and you must make sure that realtor is going to fit in with your situation. If you live in Walnut Creek, California you should be looking for a realtor that knows the area. If your realtor services Lafayette, Concord, Moraga, and Orinda it is likely they will be knowledgeable about your area. However, if you are interviewing an agent that works in Martinez, Benicia, and Vallejo it is likely they will not be as good of a fit as the former.

The main difference between real estate agents are their attitude. You want to hire the realtor you believe will be the most successful for you. This may include the one who is willing to spend the most time at your house for some. For others it is the agents who is always able to return calls the same day and offer encouraging support throughout the transaction. Remember you are using your own social experiences to select the realtor that is the right fit for you, similar to how you might select your friends.

Deciding to Sell Your Business

Deciding to sell your business can be one of the biggest decisions in your life, whatever the reasons are for the sale. It is impossible not to become emotionally attached to your own business. Seeing a business grow can be a wonderful thing on the flip side deciding to sell the business can be gut wrenching experience.

Ideally a business owner will have prepared for the sae at least 2 years previously. This process is generally started by assessing the financial state of the business with a view to creating audited financial statements with future projections that show the company's revenue and potential growth.

Documentation should be put together to clearly show all transactions, this is vital information for any purchaser, it will allow the company to be easily evaluated. Information on customers should also be available; a new owner would not want to face a customer who expects to be treated in a particular way, not armed with this information

All supplier and customer contracts should be examined. Terms and conditions for each process should be available, if required. Contracts should not be coming to an end as new owner takes charge. Terminating contracts out of spite simply because you are selling the business serves no purpose at all. Remember when selling a business it is not simply about financials, it is also about keeping your reputation.

Start codifying business policies and procedures, if necessary, create a handover file this file should document exactly how to best run the business including as much information as possible as to aid the new owner, even your thoughts on future growth and development will be useful.

You will need to review your real estate leases, if your business is tied to a particular location you will need to make sure the lease is not set to expire or require renegotiation at the time you are planning to sell the company. The location of the company may discourage buyers; if so consider moving to a different location before you put the business on the market.

Equipment leases and material contracts will have to be checked so they have plenty of time to run when the business sis handed over. You will need to fully evaluate and catalogue all the company assets.

Finally, don't forget about the employees. The loss of key employees during the sale of the business can ruin a deal. Key employees are crucial to the new owner's success, so it's important to determine which employees are prepared to stay with the company during and after the transition. It is important that employees don't hear about the sale of the company from a third party.

Fear Emotions - Positive Or Negative?

What is fear's purpose? How do you handle it? While I am working in my pest control business, I meet people on an almost daily basis who are influenced by negative fear thoughts regarding pests invading their premises. A good size spider, rat, or unexpected insect can set someone off pretty quickly, and literally immobilize them. It consumes their thoughts to the point where they have trouble thinking about anything else.

Thinking about why people do this, makes me wonder about the purpose of Fear emotions. I really started wondering as to how many people really do allow Fear, anxiety, worry, etc. to freeze them into inaction in everyday life. They achieve a very negative result, one which I have to think, is not what they really want.

Fear - What is it's purpose? Do you let fear immobilize you or do you act in spite of it, safely, consciously aware of why it is there?

Personally, I look upon fear as a positive emotion. I know that uncontrolled this emotion can breed many negative results. But when controlled, this emotion can spur you into action like no other I know of. And I think that this is truly the reason for fear. Think of it as your best friend, preparing you for progress. Make friends with the unknown.

We should acknowledge the fear we are experiencing. Allow that it is a positive thing within us that warns us of some impending danger or harm. And then, analyze it to see if it is real or imagined, justified or not. When we recognize it's positive intent, it is no longer something to immobilize us, but quite the reverse, we can jump into action to remedy 'why' we are fearful.

I think that it is the inaction bred by over-analyzing, by focusing on the fear, actually dwelling on it, imagining the 'what ifs', that keeps us from taking the actions necessary to move though it. We need to process it, not dwell in it. I'm sure everyone has heard the old expression, 'A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave person, only one.' We do not want to hold the FEAR thought. That is not what it is there for.

As long as we focus on the positive intent a fearful state represents, rather on the fear itself, we can question ourselves as to what this fear is trying to tell us to do, and take the necessary actions to protect ourselves or blast us though this perceived barrier.

All we have to know is, `What is really going on here?' What do I need to do in order for me to feel better about moving forward? Or do I really need to back off from this course? Do I need to take another smaller action (baby step) or do I just need to change my perception about what is going on here?

Then, move forward in some direction no matter how small a step it seems. Usually just taking action and the momentum you gain and feel, will free you from the fearful, concerned, worried feeling you had.

Do you have something bothering you, or something you have been putting off, or dreading? Something you know you must do, but just haven't been able to face up to the task? Break it down until there is something you can move forward with. Take it in baby steps, take action. Do it and then celebrate the victory! Feel your confidence grow!

Your mind can only hold one thought at a time. Make it an action thought that empowers you.

This is only one person's opinion, but I feel it is better to believe in something beneficial that I can take control of, rather than be at it's mercy!.

Tips on Buying a Boat: Seven Tips on What You Should Look For When Investing In Watercraft

I discovered sailing many years ago and found it to be a wonderful way to enjoy time with friends and family as well as a way to get away from the office and become totally entranced and absorbed with a world that I did not know existed. I love to sail, so much that I became a certified American Sailing Association Sailing Instructor.

It has been 30 years now that I've sailed the Chesapeake Bay, East Coast U.S.A. and the Caribbean Islands and I've been fortunate to have owned a number sailing vessels, currently two Beneteau sail boats.

I'm often asked by my students what to look for when making an investment in a sailing vessel. I often share the following seven tips and hope that you too may find some value in them.

First carefully examine where you expect to use your boat, long term. Will it be on the Ocean, trans-Ocean, near the shore, in a Bay, on the Caribbean or all of the above. If you plan to sail Ocean or trans-Ocean then be sure that the construction is class "A" or rated for extended off shore passage making. Beware of the buying philosophy "I'll buy a smaller boat now and get a bigger one later." If you're buying new you will suffer two large depreciations. If buying used, the money you put into the first boat to bring it up to your own personal standards and needs will go a long way to paying a down payment or many monthly payments on the second boat. You will be upgrading the second boat anyway. Buy now what you expect to own for 5-10 years. Take into account the area where you will be sailing and who you will be sailing with. Decide on the type of berths that will be suitable for you, your family and your guests. For example, aft doubles aligned with the axis of the boat or an aft double that runs across the boat port to starboard. Although the latter tends to be larger and more comfortable in the slip it is definitely not a sea going berth. How easily does the main salon table convert into a berth and is it sturdy enough to do so repeatedly? In a pinch or in good weather can any one sleep in the cockpit? What is your likely cruising range? If just 2-4 days then water and diesel tankage can be respectively 20 and 80 gallons or less. If it is 5-10 days then a minimum would be 50 and 160. If you buy a boat with say 100 gallons diesel and 2-300 gallons water then the designer will have given up berth space to accommodate the tankage. Depending on the size of the boat the left over space may not be well utilized until you reach say a 50 ft. long boat. Look for living and storage space that is well utilized. Odd placement of the main salon settees, chart table and galley may indicate poor utilization of space and hence you may be paying good money for little advantage. Boats that are heavy displacement, say 28,000 lbs for say a 42 ft. boat rather than say 17,800 lbs for a medium displacement, 42 footer will need 10- 15 knots of wind to develop any kind of "feel" at the helm and in many locations such as the Chesapeake Bay with winds typically 5 - 15 knots in the summer you may have purchased a very nice well equipped power boat. However these heavy displacement cruisers are excellent for extended off shore passage making and live-aboard sailing either in the Caribbean or the U.S.A.. One of the best tips, If you are a first time sailor and want to buy a boat in the 25 to 50 ft range, is to sail with someone who knows how to sail, take a sailing class and then charter a boat in the length range that interests you. Picking a boat with out sailing a boat of similar size is risky although many have done it successfully. Keep in mind that many of the modern designs of the last 10 years are designed specifically for two people to sail easily whether in the Bay or in the ocean. Lastly, do insist on a survey. If the boat has any of the defects listed below find out the cost to correct them if you are expecting the boat to pass the insurer's surveyor. Insurers have their own requirements. Your insurance agent and the surveyor should be working hand in hand. This is where a purchaser of a used watercraft can suddenly be faced with unexpected costs. Costly defects include but are not limited to: Soft or cracked gellcoat on the deck. Deck leaks around windows, masts, caprail, traveller or through deck fittings. If the engine that has stood idle for more than 6 months diesel may be contaminated with bacterial sludges, have pistons seized, injectors blocked and electrical system contaminated with water. Insist on at least a 2-4 hour run in the water at cruising speed. Check for undue vibration, overheating, proper charging of the batteries and that the engine can come up to its cruising rpm. If the boat is more than 6 years old have the surveyor check that the engine mounts are OK and particularly that all mounting bolts are intact. Two can be broken without any obvious signs or effects. When #3 breaks the engine is loose! This is a common problem on older boats that encounter rough waters while under power and can easily be overlooked by the surveyor. Obviously you will need an out of the water inspection. Check for blisters, gellcoat cracks, soft spots, shaft play in the cutlass bearing and loose rudder bearings, hull integrity around through hulls and the gap between the hull and the top of the keel which should be filled with sealant else corrosion of the keel may have caused the keel to separate from the hull. Rigging should be checked by a rigger and all running rigging must be overhauled end-to-end to detect hidden chafe.

Hope you find these tips helpful. Best wishes to you on your investment, maybe I'll see you on the Chesapeake Bay or near the British Virgin Islands sometime, I'll either be sailing on Majjik II or Majjik III.

Home Equity Line Of Credit - Home Equity Credit Line - Home Equity Loan

There are times in everyone's lives that they are faced with expenses that are unavoidable and that they have no way of meeting. This can be very stressful. However, if you have equity in your home, you can take advantage of it through a Home Equity Line of Credit.

Releasing capital through a Home Equity Line of Credit starts with the valuation or appraisal of the property. Consumers can regularly borrow up to ninety percent of the appraised value of the property less the balance owed on the mortgage. For example, if your house is appraised at $400,000 and you owe $200,000, you would be able to borrow $160,000 on a Home Equity Line of Credit.

A line of credit represents the amount of money available for a borrower to use as they need it. It isn't like a traditional loan that is paid to the borrower in a lump sum - you only use the credit you need when you need it, thus limiting interest costs and allowing you to control cash flow.

A home equity credit line offers flexibility and generally lower interest rates than other loans. However, there are risks. Attracted by low interest rates, many borrowers decide to consolidate their high interest debts without ensuring that the low interest rate is locked in. After an initial period of an introductory low interest rate, some banks put the rates up. It is very important that consumers read the documentation very carefully before signing the dotted line.

The three most important things banks look at when deciding to give someone a loan of this type, are the levels of existing debt, collateral, ability to pay and credit history. These three factors combine to influence the amount you can borrow and the interest rate you will be charged.

If you have a poor credit history, you will not necessarily be denied a line of credit, however, you will have to pay a higher interest rate and agree to extra provisions.

Collateral refers directly to the equity in the property. If you default on payments, the lender will repossess the property. Your ability to pay the loan is also important.

If a lender thinks your expenses are already too high for you to be able to commit to additional repayments, they will decline giving you a loan despite the equity in your home and otherwise good history.

A home equity line of credit is definitely worth considering when you are faced with major expenses and do not have the ready cash. College fees, legal fees, medical bills all need to be paid and sometimes, they can confront us when we can least afford them. Using your home equity is a reasonable way to fund the unavoidable and somewhat unexpected expenses that can, at times, confront us.

Go to a company that can get you a variety of quotes from Lending Institutions and save your money.

Is Your Merchandise Plan Working Backwards?

Do you ever feel overwhelmed when new stock arrives? Where do you put it all?

Maybe you're working backwards, and don't know it.

Does this sound a little bit familiar?

It's time to buy product for the next season. You know how much you want to spend. You know what type of merchandise you need to replenish. You may have a budget to spend for each department.

You go through the catalogues and websites. You compare the suppliers minimum orders with what you think you can sell. You see some new products that you like and think your customers will buy. You make your orders. Sometime later, boxes begin arriving. You start putting product out on the shelves. More stock is arriving. You realize you'll have to do some major merchandise moves to fit it all in.

Not to mention, how are you going to create a display of some of this merchandise? There are some really great new products, but there aren't enough of them to create a strong impact.

It takes a considerable amount of time to get new merchandise arranged.

You move it here. But you don't like it. You move it there. It looks better, but now you have a hole over here to fill. And then there is this stack of merchandise that you still need to find a place for. Well, we'll put it in this corner for now.

There is another way.

What if we turned the process around?

Imagine how much easier it would be if you knew exactly where your stock would go before it arrived.

What if you had a written plan or sketch that showed where to place each item?

What if you didn't have to place the stock at all, but could hand it over to a staff member?

Unrealistic, you say?

It isn't. It just takes some time up front.

Time to plan.

Time to visualize.

In the end you'll save time. And headaches.

Use these 5 steps to reduce your headaches and stress:

1. Make a floor plan.

Draw in all the elements of the store that don't change-doors, walls, pillars, windows, steps, platforms, built in fixtures, electrical outlets. Make copies.

Using one of your floor plan copies, draw in all the movable fixtures, in their current location. Make copies.

2. Determine optimum merchandise levels.

Working with a copy of your fixture plan, go through one department at a time. Decide what types of products can be merchandised on each fixture. Calculate the quantity of merchandise each fixture can hold.

Identify display areas in each department. How much merchandise will be in each display? Label your plan with all of the types and quantities of merchandise.

3. Order merchandise.

As you choose merchandise, consider the department and fixture that will hold the products. Select quantities, colours and themes based on how the merchandise will coordinate in the store. Think ahead to how the merchandise will look in displays.

Remember - your goal is to create a strong visual impact with each department. Coordinating and complimentary merchandise encourages multiple sales.

4. Create a merchandise plan.

Make labeled sketches of where all the new merchandise will go in the store, and in what quantities. Believe me - when the merchandise arrives, you won't remember exactly what you planned when you ordered. Put your plan on paper. Don't forget to include your current merchandise in your plan. Where will you move it to make room for the new?

There is no need to be a perfectionist. Don't try to draw the products. A row of bottles is a vertical rectangle. A folded sweater is a horizontal rectangle. The key to this step is knowing the amount of space each product will require.

Create a clear plan that another person could follow if you weren't there to explain it.

5. Create a display plan.

Determine upcoming events. Decide how often displays will be changed. Identify the key merchandise that will be in each display. Create rough sketches for each display.

When the merchandise arrives, implement your plan. Better yet, if you have staff, give the plans to them to install. You can go have a cup of coffee and start on plans for next season.
