Real Estate

Professional real estate management is practiced in a fair and clear manner only when the professionals involved follow a formal code of conduct. This ensures client satisfaction which is a very important element for the success of any business. There are certain ethical norms that have to be strictly followed by the assets managing executives.

Loyalty is a very important aspect of the attitude of the assets managing executive towards his employers and his clients. While safeguarding the interests of the client he should not compromise with the interests of his employing organization; and vice versa. There are many executives who compromise with their sincerity towards their employers and their clients to meet their selfish ends and make some fast money. The employing firms have their own set of rules which may differ from one firm to another. The professional real estate management staff may be directed to either give more weight age to the preferences of the clients or the employer, in case of any differences in opinion. They should never engage in any activity that is detrimental to the interests of their employers or their clients.

No client will want his private information to be leaked out to anybody. Hence, the assets managing professionals are expected to maintain confidentiality in their dealings with the client details. They should not leak out information about one client to another, even if it is for promoting the good reputation of the firm. If it is necessary at all to provide details on an official basis to some concerned staff, he should do so with the consent of the client and not otherwise. If it to be done without the knowledge of the client , the concerned professional real estate management executive should do so in strict adherence to the laws of the land regarding such activity.

The client has the right to ask the executive managing his asset to give him accurate information regarding his assets, at any point of time, without any notice. Hence, the executive should be prepared with all the client details. They should be neatly documented and should be in an auditable format. These records should also be available to the inspectors and other executives who need to access them for their work. However, the particular executive dealing with a particular client is responsible for safeguarding the documents of the client. He should not conceal any relevant information from the client. He should not distort facts while conveying them to the clients. The professional real estate management executive should not resort to any of these methodologies to convince the client. He should always give a truthful and frank opinion.

The assets managing executive should be very careful when dealing with the money of the client. He should maintain an exclusive account for each client and not store it in a common pool. All records pertaining to finances should be accurately made and recorded. The financial privacy of each client should not be compromised with at any cost. The monetary deposit of the client should not be used for the expenses of the firm or to meet the expenses of another client, whatever the emergency may be. If at all such a thing is to be done, it should be done with hundred percent consent of the client. The professional real estate management executive should not try to influence the client in any way, with distortion of facts, in matters related to finances.

The assets industry professionals are some of the busiest people of the working community. They deal with clients, prospective clients, and contacts and maintain their records on paper or electronic databases. They have a lot of deadlines to meet in short periods of time and as they have to simultaneously deal with a number of situations at a given time, they can be pretty haphazard in the way they organize things around themselves, which in turn increases the complexity of their work and reduces their efficiency. Following a few real estate office management guidelines will do them good

One of the foremost criteria for enhancing work efficiency is to work in a systematic manner. The first step in this direction is to identify the routine activities and the ones that are done under special circumstances and develop a working methodology independently for each of them. The routine activities should be organized well. The daily input, daily processed information and daily output information stores should be maintained well. The staff handling these data store should be trained on handling them in a formal procedural manner.

The real estate office management staff should design a concrete system to deal with data storing and processing, and following the system should be made mandatory for the relevant staff. This will ensure fast retrieval of data when dealing with clients. A good assets managing firm will always try to take precautions against any special situations that they might encounter. Hence, if electronic databases are being used, then it is always better to be prepared with backups as electronic systems are highly susceptible to viral attacks and technical failures.

A good way to eliminate chaos in the work environment is for the real estate office management firm to make individual job descriptions for all its employees. These job descriptions should be conveyed clearly in writing to them so that they become aware of their individual roles and work accordingly. Assigning a particular job to only one person and not to more people will eliminate confusion. If a job is too huge in quantity or is highly complicated one job can be allotted to more than one person. But in that case, the role that each and every member of the delegation has to play should be conveyed clearly by the team leader.

Real office estate management gurus opine that it is always better to make any modifications and up dates to the databases as and when required rather then take them up as a separate task later on. This error usually happens where paper databases are used as the modifications and up dates have to be done manually. But in the case of electronic data basing this problem is overcome to a large extent as the effects of a change at one point ripples across all the relevant areas of the database automatically.

Lastly, an important criterion of commendable real estate office management is to organize the physical workspace systematically. The tables should be kept neat and tidy. Storing files and paraphernalia should be done in a logical manner so that accessing them does not take a lot of effort and time. A neat, hygienic and organized workspace reflects an efficient working environment. Managing workplaces is an art and it reflects the personality and work efficiency of the people working in that place. It makes the organization efficiency wise trustworthy in the eyes of the clients.

The scope of county governments may occur from state to state. The relationship between incorporated cities and counties also occur from state to state. Generally, a county acts as a sub-division of a regional self government which is within a larger jurisdiction of a count. This originated in continental Europe.

In the United States, 48 out of the 50 states use the word county. This is according to the state government, the Federal or the territorial government as a sub-unit of a territory. A state should possess the facilities for populated counties such as:
• Airports
• Convention centers
• Beaches
• Harbors
• Public housings
• Museums
• And Hospitals

They need to provide the security of the people of the state, including the safety of their food. Cities occupy a smaller area as compared to a county which contains them. However, there is an exception to this rule. Considering that both a city and a county lie under the state law as a city, its county can merge so as to form a consolidated city-county.

I've been absolutely inundated today with different Interest groups littering my inbox with their house price predictions. Here is a snapshot:

-Hometrack HPI - Annual house prices fall 5.3 per cent.
-Halifax HPI - Annual house prices fall 10.9 per cent.
-Nationwide HPI - Annual house prices fall by 10.5per cent.
-Land Registry House - price growth fell for the 11th month in a row in July.
-Bank of England Number of mortgages approved falls to new low.
-Rics survey - Over the last three months, the average number of transactions per surveyor has fallen to 12.7, the lowest figure since the property survey began.

In a nutshell, here are the facts you need to understand from this data:

First of all, there is no such thing as a UK property market. With Mars Bars the price is going to be pretty uniform across the country. With beer, the price is going to differentiate from bar to bar but stay within a certain band. Property is something else altogether. Take two identical houses next door to each other. Both vendors want to move. One vendor has no mortgage on his house and sells up for £90,000. Does this mean that next door will automatically sell for £90,000? The answer is no. It may be the case that the next door neighbour has remortgaged some of his equity. He may have a secured loan that needs to be paid off. He may have to achieve £98000 in order to have enough cash to use as a deposit on his next home. Just because one Newsagent decides to sell his Mars Bars at 10p as a promotion does not mean that every Mars Bar in the UK is now worth just 10p!

Prices will continue to fall. This House Price crash has been caused almost entirely by the increased difficulties in finding mortgage finance. At the moment banks just don't want to lend mortgages unless you have a seriously big deposit to put down. This situation will not carry on forever. Eventually, some bright spark will say, "wait a minute; we could make a killing if we helped out FTB's with some more creative finance!" At this point a light bulb will appear above all the Banks and Building societies HQs and the rush to lend will start all over again. Remember - it is mortgages that make banks money! It is mortgages that provide the profits that allow banks to give you interest on your deposits. It is mortgages that allow you to enjoy free banking. It is mortgages that keep bank employees in work. Basically, mortgages put food on the table. When the banks remember this lending will recommence in earnest - and prices will shoot higher than ever before. This situation will come about at some time in 2009, or perhaps take as long as 2010 - but it will happen, guaranteed.
