Via Judi - SEO for Realtors Search Engine Optimization Software (Promotions Unlimited):

On Twitter when one reaches 10,000 followers it's know as achieving whale status. The real benefit, is the increase this provides to your blog/site and or products/services you are tweetting about. Now, followers are great, but to be as productive as possible, these followers MUST be carefully selected.

If you are a real estate agent, you should work on building followers within say 10-25 miles of your office. If you sell a product or service on the Internet, you should select followers from related keywords within their profiles or their tweets.

Plus, keep in mind, you MUST provide useful information on your tweets and sites ... content is king on the Internet!

Lastly, only take advice from people who have have achieved what you are striving for yourself. I see people with Google PR0 or PR1 promoting the 'secret' of how to get high quality back-links or great search engine standings everyday. Seems their 'secrets' have not been working for their own sites.

See how my huge, directed Twitter following has helped my websites traffic:

Are you using Twitter for your real estate social networking?

Did you know:

Jeremiah Owyang of Forrester Research estimated that Twitter had 4-5 million users.

A February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network (Facebook being the largest, followed by MySpace), which puts the number of unique monthly visitors at roughly 6 million and the number of monthly visits at 55 million.

In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009.

Twitter had a growth of 1382%, Zimbio had a growth of 240%, followed by Facebook with a growth of 228%.

In a prior post, New Twitter Promotion & Marketing Tool, I noted this great new Twitter automation software. I have personally been using it for myself as well as some of our SEO clients and have produced the video below about the actual results.

I marketing, the mantra is that the real money is in the list. If you develop a list of past clients, people interested in your niche, and potential prospects who may need your product or service, and keep in touch with them ... YOU WILL GENERATE NEW BUSINESS!

The proper use of Twitter lets one build such targeted lists. Keep in mind, the key is TARGETED list. In local service business like real estate one could search keywords such as newlywed, wedding date, retirement, graduation, etc., in both tweets and profiles, to build a good list. Realtors and other local service business could put in their office zip code and then collect followers who reside in a 25- to 100-mile area around the office.

Another big benefit of building a targeted Twitter follower list is SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION! Yes, with any of a few free and simple applications, one can tie in their blog posts to automatically send off a tweet announcing the new post's title to all your followers. By notifying thousands of followers of your post, a good number of them may go over to read your blog. Search engines will note this increased traffic and before long, your blog/website will be moved up in the search rankings.

Still not using Twitter? Don't expect the same business your Twittering competitor is generating. It's all a numbers game, and to be successful on the Internet, you must be involved and automate where ever possible.

The Cap and Trade Bill is Bad For The Housing Market & Sellers Wallets

brokerforyou.com CA Lic#00706331 — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 00:13:15 -0500

As part of The Cap and Trade Bill HR 2454, The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, adds another layer of conditions for selling personal real estate (your home) in the United States.

The American Clean Energy and Security Act, a whopping 1,200+ pages defining a cap-and-trade program for greenhouse gas emissions, a federal renewable electricity mandate, and a suite of new mandatory energy efficiency standards, imposes 397 new federal regulations and 1060 mandates on an American public already overwhelmed by extensive federal regulations. Written in there is a requirement for all home sales to be conditioned upon an energy audit and an energy rating assessment labeling program. How much additional selling costs will all sellers now be required to pay to comply with the proposed requirements?

Congressmen Ron Paul, on 6-29-09 said:

“The Cap and Trade Bill HR 2454 was voted on last Friday. Proponents claim this bill will help the environment, but what it really does is put another nail in the economy’s coffin. The idea is to establish a national level of carbon dioxide emissions, and sell pollution permits to industry as the Catholic Church used to sell indulgences to sinners. HR 2454 also gives federal bureaucrats new power to regulate a wide variety of household appliances, such as light bulbs and refrigerators, and further distorts the market by providing more of your tax money to auto companies.”

Just like the TARP bill, this is all happening too fast. Anyone who thinks that Washington can craft a respectable bill in this short period of time is dreaming. The specifics of the bill aren’t being publicly discussed. The Democrats are trying to push this through so fast no one will know what hit them. The media is complicit in this. This is not the time to increase energy costs, either.

Kansas City Power & Light said the bill will force them to buy so many carbon allowances for coal that electricity rates could rise 50 percent by 2012, and another 70 percent by 2020.

Let’s get some positive economic growth first, not minus 6.6%, before we kick in some expensive program/tax.

Over 7,000 climate scientists have spoken out and signed a petition that states “climate change” is NOT caused by man, more than the number of scientists who wrote the UN charter on the topic.

This, along with the “stimulus” and “health care reform” is able to succeed to a degree because the American people are, for the most part, sheep who demand to be led, do not care to be involved in the process, do not care to know what is happening in their government, do not care to act on their own behalf and figure that Obama is more intelligent than they are. In fact he is leading them down the road to higher taxes, higher inflation and higher costs on all natural resources, all because of a false theory that curtailing carbon emissions can make a difference.

Kim Strassel, published in the (June 2009) Wall Street Journal:

“Among the many reasons President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority are so intent on quickly jamming a cap-and-trade system through Congress is because the global warming tide is again shifting. It turns out Al Gore and the United Nations (with an assist from the media), did a little too vociferous a job smearing anyone who disagreed with them as ‘deniers.’ The backlash has brought the scientific debate roaring back to life in Australia, Europe, Japan, and even if less reported, the U.S.”

“In April, the Polish Academy of Sciences published a document challenging man-made global warming. In the Czech Republic, where President Vaclav Klaus remains a leading skeptic, today only 11% of the population believes humans play a role. In France, President Nicolas Sarkozy wants to tap Claude Allegre to lead the country’s new ministry of industry and innovation. Twenty years ago Mr. Allegre was among the first to trill about man-made global warming, but the geochemist has since recanted. New Zealand last year elected a new government, which immediately suspended the country’s weeks-old cap-and-trade program.

“The number of skeptics, far from shrinking, is swelling. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe now counts more than 700 scientists who disagree with the U.N. — 13 times the number who authored the U.N.’s 2007 climate summary for policymakers. Joanne Simpson, the world’s first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year that she was finally free to speak ‘frankly’ of her non-belief. Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming ‘the worst scientific scandal in history.’ Norway’s Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the ‘new religion.’ A group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton’s Will Happer, is demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that the science is settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have refused to run the physicists’ open letter.)

“The collapse of the ‘consensus’ has been driven by reality.”

Scientists – the ones without a political agenda – have shown that solar activity correlates with temperature changes. In fact, it correlates stronger to changes than CO2 does, and changes in CO2 levels FOLLOW changes in temperature by about 800 years. The only reason that CO2 and temperature would be increasing at the same time NOW is that temperature increased about 800 years ago. By the way, temperatures have been decreasing for a couple of years now.

It appears that the government is more concerned about the appearance of making changes and are thus, creating these massive documents that no one can possibly read and digest. Don’t be naive enough to think we are being saved from disaster; one is being created. France has a better idea called nuclear power.

California Homebuyers Tax Incentive Funds Depleted … Should We Increases Taxes and Fees to Pay More?

brokerforyou.com CA Lic#00706331 — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:40:09 -0500

California legislators put a hundred million dollars on the table for first time homeowners to grab. Were they surprised when takers actually accepted the offer? Apparently this is so. They are now attempting to put more money in the coffers for this give-away.

The program is a tax credit that spreads across three years, in three equal payments, for buyers of new homes. The definition of new home is that it must be a single family residence, detached or attached, and never previously occupied. After purchase, the buyer must occupy the property for a minimum of two years and receives a credit of $10,000, or 5% of the price, whichever is less.

The program, passed in February 2009, put up one hundred million dollars for this incentive. Amazingly, this money was offered during a time when the state of California is, by some measures, bankrupt!

Now, there are two new bills pending in Sacramento that would add an additional $200-$300,000,000 to this program. In my opinion the original bill was unconscionable, considering the state of the California economy. To double or triple the original giveaway is totally incomprehensible.

These actions should definitely earn California an award for the greatest “tax and spend” state in our short history. Why does this bill only apply to new homes? If the state of California really wanted to help out the real estate market, why wouldn’t this bill apply to any home purchase?

It may be cynical, but could it be this just applies to new homes because the California new home builders contribute millions to the reelection campaigns of our state legislators? What would be extremely interesting, would be to look at the public record in one year from now to see how many state legislators who backed this program, received campaign contributions from new home builders.

For California homebuyers, especially first-time buyers, that qualify for the federal $8,000 credit as well as the California $10,000 credit, this is a great deal. But, is it really fair that tax payers are picking up the tab? Would it not make common sense if California wanted to pass such a program, to have it apply to all home purchases in order to reduce the current oversupply of existing homes? This program is doing nothing to lessen the supply of existing homes, vacant homes and bank foreclosures.

If this new buyer’s credit and pending new bills to escalate the funding, are not enough evidence that the California legislators ought to stay out of the real estate industry, perhaps remember what other mischief they’ve done. Mischief with good intentions and negative results is still mischief. These good folks extended the foreclosure process by 30 days in 2008, and then when that didn’t seem generous enough, added another 90 days this year. When you add up all the legal requirements, our legislators are practically offering almost a year of living “mortgage-free.” Are these California real estate laws really fair to the tax payers of California?

Real Estate Home Mortgage Deduction Soon to Vanish

brokerforyou.com CA Lic#00706331 — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:47:21 -0500

The American Dream is often paired with owning one’s own home. For decades Legislator’s have protected that dream with allowing home owners to claim the mortgage interest paid on their homes as a tax deduction. With a possible phase out of this deduction, could the dream fade?

“There are no cows more sacred in the tax code than the deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes. Together, they add up to at least the $ 75 billion annual subsidy for housing and Homeowners. ” The New York Times.

In 2002, 37.2 million taxpayers claimed the deduction, writing off $336.6 billion, or about $9,000 per taxpayer. Representing about 37% or so of itemized deductions, it was slightly more than itemized deductions for deductible state and local taxes, and twice as much in deductions as charitable donations. Clearly, the mortgage deduction is important and worth a huge amount of money.

In 2005 it was estimated that:

* The mortgage interest deduction will cost the Treasury $72.6 billion, according to congressional estimates.

* The $250,000 and $500,000 tax-free exclusions of home sale profits for single sellers and joint filers, respectively, will cost $23 billion .

* Property tax write-offs cost $20 billion, and tax subsidies for local and state housing bond programs account for $1 billion.

When a congressional committee examined the distribution of homeowner benefits for 2004, it found that people earning $200,000 and more a year – just one-half of 1% of all homeowners filing for deductions – pocketed 22% of the $70.2 billion in write-offs in 2004.

In 2007, Rep. John D. Dingell (D-Mich.) unveiled a draft of his “carbon tax” legislative reform package. Part of this draft legislation was a phase out the mortgage interest deduction on large homes. The phase-out schedule for the mortgage interest write-off, beginning with houses of 3,000 square feet, which would lose 15 percent of their deductions, and ending with houses of 4,200 square feet and larger, which would receive no deductions at all.

Dingel said: “In order to address the issues of climate change, we must address the issue of consumption-we do that by making consumption more expensive.”

Naturally, with the real estate market bust, the Dingell package was shelved. Once the housing market recovers, lets’ say two years from now, it’s a very good bet the administration will be looking hard at ways to increase taxes to pay down the huge bailouts. The unusual financial troubles and the move to green, will be the perfect time to push through such legislation. Unlike the Dingel proposal ,which was aimed at larger homes, the future legislation will most probably cover all mortgage interest deductions. To increase its’ chance at passage, it is a good bet it will be a phased in plan with deductions decreasing over a number of years.

To get the reversal of the sacred deduction started, President Obama’s impending budget proposes a cap on the mortgage interest rate deduction. Couples earning $208,850 or more would loose the deduction. Where currently households at the 33% and 35% tax rates are allowed the deduction, Obama would reduce their deduction to only 28% of the value of those payments. This is likely a first step to what seems to be a total elimination of mortgage tax deduction. If (when) this passes, Obama will find it easier to lower the earning cap for the mortgage tax deduction, leading up to an even lesser amount in the future. It seems on the horizon that the mortgage interest rate will be only for low income earners.

California Sunshine and a Year of FREE Living

Sunshine and a Year of FREE Living

by Bob Schwartz, San Diego real estate broker, Certified Residential Specialist

The state of California has more than doubled the normal foreclosure time by an additional 90 days for homeowners with troubled mortgages. This is on top of the 30 day extension put in to place in 2008. Is this the state where living is free or are these actions only prolonging the pain?

Sen. Ellen Corbett (D-San Leandro) introduced a bill as an add-on to the California “budget” package to add a 90-day moratorium on California home foreclosures. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into the bill on 2/20/09. It applies to owner-occupied homes and first-mortgages made from 2003 to 2007. See my earlier post: ‘New Law Extends California Home Foreclosures (again) ‘published on March 12, 2009.

State regulators can grant loan servicers and lenders exemptions, if they have a mortgage modification program in place that meets certain criteria. These include programs that defer a portion of the principal, lower interest rates for at least five years, or extend loan terms.

In 2008, the state of California extended the foreclosure process by approximately 30 days by adding a requirement that lenders document their efforts to contact the delinquent homeowner.

So, now for 2009, the state of California has more than doubled the normal foreclosure time periods by extending the normal California foreclosure for an additional 90 days. This is after the 30 day extension applied in 2008. Instead of helping these actions are only prolonging the pain. Perhaps the state should stay out of the mortgage business.

The market can’t recover until all these foreclosures get flushed through the system. Delaying the inevitable will not change the end result; it will probably only make it worse. In a declining market, the lenders will recover even less when the property eventually sells.

Personally, I’m not aware of one mortgage lender that starts the foreclosure process as soon as the homeowner is late one month. In the vast majority of cases, the lender does not start the process for four months or more. Do the math: Four months slow motion by the lender, the original 90 day foreclosure process (plus a 21 day advertising period), the 2008 delay of 30 days, and now the 90 day moratorium passed in February 2009. That’s a potential of free living for almost a year!

Who is really paying for this ‘free California living?’ With a lot of these toxic loans being purchased by the federal government, it’s the U.S. taxpayer who is paying.

Other fallout resulting from the state’s legislated moratorium on foreclosures is the many homeowner associations adversely affected by a delay in collecting normal monthly maintenance dues. It’s a sure bet homeowners are not paying their monthly maintenance fees when they aren’t making their mortgage payments. Most San Diego monthly homeowner fees run over $250 per month. Who ultimately pays for the additional $1,000 in delinquent dues? It’s the existing association homeowners. HOAs will either have to increase the dues, or require special assessments from the owners who are left. Once a property has been foreclosed, the lenders are responsible for paying the dues on the property. All outstanding balances prior to the foreclosure date are wiped out! The “moratorium penalty” can be especially devastating for small condo complexes with six to twelve units, like those which dominate the North Park/Normal Heights neighborhoods in San Diego.

The California legislature continues to amaze … but not impress … with stupid ideas put into law.

San Diego Real Estate Bottom?

brokerforyou.com CA Lic#00706331 — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:08:16 -0500

San Diego real estate market… I have the idea that many think our economic downturn will last forever, near capitulation point, so all the doom and gloom today, is to be expected.

Even though I'm more optimistic than some, a mid-2009 recovery seems a bit early to me; late '09 or sometime in '10 seems more likely.

In Orange County Calif., housing economist Mark Schniepp said:Home sales sharply higher (to their highest levels since October of 2005). Prices appear to be stabilizing in some areas; overall, prices during February were not off as sharply as they had been. For the state, off only 2.2 percent from January. We appear to be at bottom in prices or nearly at the bottom; it is a regional issue now.

It is not surprising that 1st time buyers are jumping in. For years they were crowded out by speculators armed with easy money. There is certainly a segment of pent-up demand. All the same, the stock market appears to be bottoming out. It's getting pulled down by uncertainty more than anything; once that uncertainty is removed, it will start to recover.

Many local mortgage lenders feel that San Diego & Southern California were the prime locations for the adjustable Option ARM loans. Now, just when many believed the mortgage crisis was winding down, San Diego real estate will be facing another major obsticle.

My first post on this problem was San Diego Real Estate … The Coming Next Wave of Foreclosures, published on 7-17-08. It took a little while, but now the major media outlets have picked up on this problem.

San Diego Real Estate … Are Interest Rates the Key?
