Why a Realtor Should Refer Their Seller to Homes In Transition

Safety for you and your client's should be your top priority! Showing a house that is vacant can be dangerous since you never know if you might confront an unwelcome guest.

A HIT Caretaker occupied house can provide you and your Seller the best condition and appearance of the property.

A HIT Caretaker occupied house provides peace of mind.




Equipping your marketing toolbox to include the HIT program can provide a no cost way for you to provide an added benefit that will give you a competitive edge and dramatically increase your listing presentation success.
 
HIT can often make recommendations to your seller that will greatly benefit the marketing of the house
 
Because of HITs proven success at delivering properties in time for closing and doing what they promise, you can refer the HIT program with confidence.
 
It's best not to wait till your listing is about to expire to refer the HIT program, but better late, than never.
 
Marketing materials, pictures and videos are important and costly. Using the HIT program will complement your marketing efforts and guarantee the longevity of your listing and maximize your efforts.
 
HIT charges the Property Owner a small fee that starts at $1500.00 an DIMINISHES to zero after 90 days of our Caretaker's occupancy. If the house doesn't sell in first 90 days of our Caretaker's occupancy, HIT's service is entirely FREE to the Property Owner until the property sells. We're motivated to help you sell your listing fast because it promotes your referral of more vacant houses!

Save Money on Eating Out


You might be living life on a budget but there is no reason you can't still enjoy eating out once in a while. Saving money while eating out takes some effort but I have some tips to help you in this endeavor:
  • Eat a snack before you go out so that you don't feel a need to order a big meal. Eat an apple or some crackers and cheese an hour before you go out to effectively curb your appetite.

  • Go out for breakfast, lunch or brunch. Dinner is the most expensive meal due to ingredients, staffing demands, and portions. On average it costs 25% more than lunch and 50% more than breakfast.
  • Drink water with your meal. Prices on beverages are marked up significantly, sometimes 3-4 times what they would cost you in a store and sometimes even more. This holds true for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

  • Avoid appetizers and desserts. The profit margin is big for restaurants with these items which means the value is low for you.

  • Share meals or bring home leftovers. The trend these days is large portions. Unfortunately the other trend is to not take home the leftovers. Bear with the potential embarrassment and take home what you cannot eat at the restaurant. It is often enough for another meal and makes for a great work lunch.

  • Look for deals on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the 2 slowest days of the week for restaurants. Deals are often featured on these days to entice people to come in.

  • Think about going to a food establishment where you don't have to tip. There are many good places where you pick up your own food at the counter and bus your own dishes, eliminating the need to leave a tip. Better yet, get a classy meal but take it to a park or other nice vista.

  • Take advantage of any discounts you can. There are discounted meal selections for children and senior citizens. Some restaurants may even feature an early bird special that is open people of all ages.

  • Restaurant coupons are always a good way to save money. Look in entertainment magazines. They not only contain coupons but many restaurants also use these publications to announce special deals. Another great source is Restaurant.com where you can search for deals and discounts at a restaurant near you using the zip code you live in or the zip code you are going to visit.
Treat yourself on occasion but be wise and stick to your budget. There are some cheap eats out there you just need to be aware of what to avoid, what to look for, and how to get the most bang for your buck.
