Real Estate

In economic circles, John F. Kennedy’s sentiment, “A rising tide floats all boats”, leads one to believe that a construction boom would be great for everyone. “Not so,” states Urban Advocate and Real Estate Expert Butch Grimes as he leaves for the People’s Republic of China on March 16, 2006 to delve deeper into the reasons behind the escalating price and unavailability of construction materials in the U.S. Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 15, 2006 — In economic circles, John F. Kennedy’s sentiment, “A rising tide floats all boats”, leads one to believe that a construction boom would be great for everyone. “Not so,” states Urban Advocate and Real Estate Expert Butch Grimes as he leaves for the People’s Republic of China on March 16, 2006 to delve deeper into the reasons behind the escalating price and unavailability of construction materials in the U.S..

Butch Grimes is creator of the We TalkNetwork and co-host with Victor Jackson of the radio talk show, We TalkRealEstate. (www.wetalkrealestate.com) Heard on Monday nights in Los Angeles on KTYM AM 1460, Grimes is an advocate for the Urban community;

“We TalkRealEstate is the real estate information provider for the urban market. Our mission is to inform the uninformed and to be the catalyst between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’,” states Grimes.

A futurist in the real estate industry, Grimes began to investigate the rising costs of construction materials and the diminishing incidences of affordable housing in new construction developments. He discovered that the source of the shortage of lumber, concrete and building materials in the U.S. was linked to the devastating natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and the unprecedented growth of private construction in China.

Grimes is member of the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Housing Advisory Committee and a Master Faculty member of the acclaimed Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) of the California Association of REALTORS®. He decided to take a pro-active approach to see first hand one of the issues contributing to the decrease in affordable inner-city housing. Grimes is also a member of the advance team for Professional Realty Institute (PRI) leaving for China in April and will meet with the General Manager and representatives of Century 21®, the largest American franchise to operate in China with more than 800 offices. A live broadcast of the show, We TalkRealEstate will be aired from China on Monday, March 20, 2006 at 6 pm Pacific Time on KTYM AM 1460 as well as over the Internet at www.wetalkrealestate.com

“We are pleased to have a member of our faculty bringing back vital information for the American consumer. Understanding how private parties buy land, how commissions are earned and how the government acts as a title company land insurer will lead to greater understanding of the Global real estate marketplace,” states Buck Stapleton, PRI Vice President and GRI state coordinator.

You may think that such a service is offered by thousands of other professionals and you would be right; the radical difference is that Tom and Karen Carter are offering their investment advice services for free. As Tom Carter explained, “We just could not let the ‘get rich in real estate’ seminar circus keep taking people’s money when all that most of us need is somebody to help put together all the right specialists who will protect your money and help you find profitable real estate deals in which to invest” With so many so-called ‘educational seminars’ and three day conferences costing anything from $5000-$20,000 per delegate, Tom and Karen Carter appreciate that busy professionals often have neither the time nor the money for expensive sales pitches and ineffectual advice. Innovation was needed and The Carter Team was ready and willing to deliver. Out of this realization, a new idea was born.

Part of their commitment is to advise people as to the right time to invest, whether it is now or some time in the future. In the world of Las Vegas real estate, investment timing can be everything.

All of this material will be available FREE. Under the professional guidance of Tom, Karen and the entire team, www.TotalRealEstateSuccess.com continues to stand heads and shoulders over its competitors in the Las Vegas Real Estate market. With the introduction of the innovative and invaluable coaching service, they have once again shown that they are leaders not followers and will continue to set new standards of service in the world of Las Vegas real estate.

Broker Fraud Coalition

So almost a month after the launch of the Broker Watchdog “Bulletin Board” and with much criticism by several people including webwizard, I see a press release dated March 17, by Advantage Credit announcing their intent to use a “Bulletin Board” for gathering and sharing data on crooked mortgage brokers.

“The Coalition Against Broker Fraud is compiling data on brokers who have participated in fraud or who have otherwise left a trail of problems in their wake. These brokers often keep their pasts hidden and move to other companies. The new companies may not learn about previous firings or fraud until it has been committed in their own backyard. The method for the group’s data exchange will be a bulletin board application.”

I love the double standard practiced by the “corporate world”. Of course, I am not suggesting their Bulletin Board idea came from another source but simply wondering about its timing.

 

Advantage Credit’s Press Release:

 
 
The Coalition Against Broker Fraud has formed to combat and prevent mortgage fraud. The Coalition is developing a national database to keep mortgage brokers who have been involved in fraudulent activites out of the industry for good. Advantage Credit’s president, Ron Litt, is now a director on the Coalition Board.    Pensacola, FLA. (PRWEB) March 17, 2006 — Advantage Credit has joined the newly-formed Coalition Against Broker Fraud, and Advantage’s president, Ron Litt, will accept a seat on the group’s board of directors. Advantage Credit is the only non-originator company in The Coalition Against Broker Fraud and brings Litt’s fraud prevention experience to the group’s goals of combating insider mortgage fraud, one of the most difficult areas of perpetration to uncover. Litt has a unique dual perspective; as former SVP of Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corporation, he worked with fraud issues as a broker/lender, while at Advantage he develops the tools needed by the industry as a whole. “Ron has his finger on the pulse,” said Mitch Freifeld, president of Global Branch Solutions, LLC in Clearwater, Florida. Freifeld, chairman of The Coalition Against Broker Fraud, cited Litt’s Allied experience as an important factor in his recruitment to the board. “He’s ideal for this project as he’s run the infrastructure of a large mortgage firm. We’re glad to have him on board,” Freifeld continued. Global Branch Solutions is the fourth largest and fastest-growing branch operation, with 400 branches, 3,000 originators and $5 billion in loans funded. Advantage Credit will also boost The Coalition Against Broker Fraud’s knowledge of fraud prevention with its LoanShield technology. LoanShield compares and validates loan data from three critical sources of mortgage fraud: borrower, property and insider—a combination not frequently found in other industry fraud tools. LoanShield data may later enrich the group’s data repositories. “Reducing fraud is one of the top focuses for Advantage Credit,” said Litt. “The costs and consequences can easily affect our business by damaging the business of our customers, especially large clients like Global Branch Solutions. The Coalition Against Broker Fraud, under Mitch Freifeld’s leadership, will reinvent how the industry deals with the insider issue,” Litt concluded. The Coalition Against Broker Fraud is compiling data on brokers who have participated in fraud or who have otherwise left a trail of problems in their wake. These brokers often keep their pasts hidden and move to other companies. The new companies may not learn about previous firings or fraud until it has been committed in their own backyard. The method for the group’s data exchange will be a bulletin board application. The project is in its finishing stages, and will start with a staggering 8,000 to 10,000 names. “We’re about 30-45 days away from launching,” reported Freifeld. Initially, usage will be restricted to the 11 member companies, with the goal of being made available to non-members through a legally compliant process in which users are screened for access rights. For more information on The Coalition Against Mortgage Fraud, contact Mitch Freifeld at Global Branch Solutions or Ron Litt at Advantage Credit.
