Stop blaming Real Estate Brokers

Buying or selling a home is the “single most expensive” personal transaction that you may do you in your lifetime. Buying your first home is a major landmark in personal progress. Owning a house gives a sense of stability.

In process of doing so, you are most likely going to encounter “real estate agents/advisors/brokers”. Not just India, but all over the world, these people are looked at with suspicion! Let me give you some example from internet:

1. USA : Here’s a story from USA—
In my case, my older brother is a real estate agent here in the USA. He has to be one of the worst in the country. He doesn’t care about his clients (buyers and sellers), although he claims he does. All he cares about is his cut. Seriously. I had a property that I foolishly asked him to sell for me, as I was busy with my career at the time. He sold it for like 65% of what it was worth. I was like “WHAT?” He just wanted his commission. Nothing else matters to him – not even family apparently. He sells to the first and lowest bidder. I haven’t spoken to him in 5 years and probably never will again. He’s a scammer and a shyster. .

2. Australia : Tricks used by broker to get customers
Note appeared that it was written by a genuine buyer but the piece of paper was just a real estate agents’ trick to obtain potential sellers’ details and then implement the rest of their cheating methods. Read full story at following link http://annystudio.com/misc/real-estate-agents-cheat/

Here’s another link http://hubpages.com/hub/Realtors-Cheat-Sellers that talks about trick used by agents.

3. UK
Residential real estate agents in the UK who have been given warnings or been banned from working are revealed in a new online version of a blacklist. Read full story at following link
http://www.propertywire.com/news/europe/uk-estate-agents-200906173226.html

India is also not an exception!!! There are similar and more stories about brokers. I have met several exceptionally ethical broker but the fact is such cases of cheating, fraud, misguiding happen very often.

But I don’t blame the real estate broker at all for this. Broker is essentially a “salesman” who is selling a product that is manufactured by someone else!! A reasonably successful broker told me – how can we “guarantee” good service to customers if “promise made by developer is not kept”!!

GroundTruths

The real fact however, is economic in nature. Only way a broker get “incentives” is by selling a property and since there is good commission involved, like any sales person, he/she will do all that can be done to sell you the property. So what’s the incentive for broker to tell you information that will stop you from buying a property? The project a broker deals in is always the best as that what he/she is selling?

Knowing this fact, why do we blame brokers? It’s extremely unfair. I am very vocal on my TV shows on this subject. The problem lies with you, the investor or end user. You need to do your home work – before investing. But do you really do that before you make the biggest transaction of your life? Chances are that many of you will not do. And once you buy something, you put the blame on the broker who got you the deal.

But are all brokers bad. Not at all!! Please note that there is significant number of brokers that you can fully rely on. They are ethical and provide right information to you and get you the best deal. But still, I strongly urge you the end user and investors, to do a better homework before investing in any property! Happy investing!!

How useful gmail , Some great use for that people using Gmail

How useful gmail , Some great use for that people using Gmail

I woke up today morning to check my Gmail, only to be pleasantly surprised by a “Call Phone” option right at the top of my Google Talk chat window. I clicked it, accepted the Terms and Conditions and was presented with a num-pad; much like the one you’d find in VOIP services like Skype. While I was almost about to yawningly say, “You can now make international calls via your Gmail for cheaper than using regular telephones…yada yada…“, this one small line at the end made me jolt off my chair! In bid to popularize this service, Google is allowing free unlimited calls to the US and Canada till the end of the year 2010. I instantly ran to my phone-book and made an hour worth calls to the US and here are the three things I observed: 1) The phone started ringing the moment I hit the call button, 2) The call quality was absolutely clear on my end and was reported to be equally clear from the other side as well, 3) There were no disconnections during the two different half-hour long calls I made. FYI: I’m using a 512 Kbps broadband internet connection.

Gmail Call

Calls to other countries can be made after purchasing pre-paid credits on their Google Voice website. After doing a quick comparison of the call rates, you’ll realize it isn’t a good bargain for people in India to use this service to make calls to the US or Canada (after the free period is over, of course). For example, India to any other country is charged at 6 cents (Rs. 2.7) per minute whereas Skype charges almost one-third the cost – 2.2 cents (roughly a rupee) to call specifically to the US/Canada.

Google unleashes all of its services for business users

Business users will have access to 10 times the applications they’ve had previously.

If you are a Google (GOOG) Apps customer or administrator, you will soon have access to all of the products and services that consumer Gmail users have used for years. Google Voice, Reader, Blogger, Picassa and other apps will now be at Apps users’ disposal.

Google is flipping Apps for domain users over to new infrastructure (your administrators can do it manually) over the next three months.

The additional services are not covered by the Google Apps SLA or telephone support that’s included for its paid customers.

I’ve been using the new infrastructure for a few weeks now and overall it works great. My biggest gripe is that I can no longer keep my Apps account and my Gmail account open on the same browser at the same time. I’ve resorted to using two different browsers for both accounts. Google provides the video below:

I anticipate that this will be especially popular for the 10+ million students out there that use Google Apps for Education.

Google today also simplified the names of their different apps offerings…

• Google Apps is our free service geared towards families, entrepreneurs and other groups up to 50 users.
• Google Apps for Business offers 25GB of e-mail storage per user, a 99.9% up-time guarantee, data migration capabilities, advanced management tools, telephone support, added security features and more, all for $50 per user per year.
• Google Apps for Government is FISMA certified and designed with local, state and federal agencies in mind.
• Google Apps for Education offers many benefits of Google Apps for Business, but at no cost to schools, universities and qualifying non-profits.

Google Adds Call Recording to Gmail

Google Adds Call Recording to Gmail

Gmail recently added the ability to make phone calls from your inbox, and they’ve recently (silently) rolled out the ability to record incoming calls as well.

While we mentioned call recording as a cool way to take advantage of Gmail calling, Google adding in this feature means you don’t need any extra software to get the job done—just hit the record button to record the call with Google Voice. Note that it only works for incoming calls—you won’t be able to record calls you initiate from your Gmail inbox.

Google hasn’t officially announced anything about the new feature, but reports of its existence are cropping up all over the net. We tested it ourselves, and sure enough, as long as the call was incoming and not outgoing, that little record button popped right up. Let us know if you have the new feature (and how you plan to use it) in the comments below.

10 New Ways to Make Money Online

businesses offer bids or ideas or proposals from which those buyers can choose.

Elance covers everything from programming and writing to consulting and design, whileRentACoder focuses on software, natch. If you’re a graphic designer, check out options likeDesign Outpost or LogoWorks–you don’t have to find the customers, they’ll come to you. Wannabe industry analysts might sign up for TechDirt’s Insight Community, a marketplace for ideas about technology marketing.

2. Sell photos on stock photography sites. If people regularly oooo and aaaaah over your Flickr pics, maybe you’re destined for photographic greatness or maybe just for a few extra dollars. It’s easier than ever to get your photos out in front of the public, which of course means a tremendous amount of competition, but also means it might be an convenient way for you to build up a secondary income stream. Where can you upload and market your photos? Try Fotolia, Dreamstime, Shutterstock, and Big Stock Photo.

3. Blog for pay. Despite the explosion of blogs, it’s hard to find good writers who can turn around a solidly-written post on an interesting topic quickly. GigaOM is always looking for bloggers with great content ideas and solid writing skills. How do you get noticed? Comment and link to blogging network sites. Write blog posts that are polished and not overly personal (although showing some personality is a plus).

10 New Ways to Make Money Online

4. Or start your own blog network. If you like the business side of things–selling advertising, hiring and managing employees, attracting investors–and have the stomach to go up against the likes of Weblogs, Inc., GigaOmniMedia, b5media, maybe you should make an entire business out of blogs. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’ll get a lot of time to write yourself though.

5. Provide service and support for open source software. Just because the software is free doesn’t mean you can’t make money on it–just ask Red Hat, a well-known distributor of Linux that sports a market cap of more than four billion dollars. As a solo web worker, you might not want to jump in and compete with big companies offering Linux support, but how about offering support for web content management systemslikeWordPress or Drupal? After getting comfortable with your own installation, you can pretty easily jump into helping other people set them up and configure them.

6. Online life coaching. Who has time to go meet a personal coach at an office? And don’t the new generation of web workers need to be met by their coaches in the same way that they work: via email, IM, and VoIP? You could, of course, go through some life coaching certification program, but on the web, reputation is more important than credentials. I bet Tony Robbins isn’t certified as a life coach–and no one can argue with his success. For an example of someone building up their profile and business online as a coach, check out Pamela Slim of Ganas Consulting and the Escape from Cubicle Nation blog.

7. Virtually assist other web workers. Freelancers and small businesses desperately need help running their businesses, but they’re not about to hire a secretary to come sit in the family room and answer phone calls. As a virtual assistant, you might do anything from making travel reservations to handling expense reimbursements to paying bills to arranging for a dog sitter. And you do it all from your own home office, interacting with your clients online and by phone. You can make $20 and up an hour doing this sort of work, depending on your expertise.

8. Build services atop Amazon Web Services. Elastic computing on AWS is so cool… and so incredibly primitive right now. Did you know that you can’t even count on your virtual hard drive on EC2 to store your data permanently? That’s why people are making money right now by offering services on top of AWS. Make it easier for people to use Amazon’s scalability web infrastructure like Enomaly has with elasticlive, a scalable web hosting platform built on AWS.

9. Write reviews for pay or perks. If you blog for any length of time on a particular topic–parenting, mobile phones, or PCs, for example–you will likely be approached to do book or product reviews. You can get free stuff this way, but are you selling your soul? Is there any such thing as a free laptop? These are decisions you’ll have to make for yourself, because no one agrees upon what ethical rules apply to bloggers. Even less do people agree on services like PayPerPost that pay you to write reviews on your blog. Check out disclosure rules closely and see whether such a gig would meet your own personal standards or not.
