Just Released Book + Bonus DVD

Eastern Shore, DE (PRWEB) February 20, 2012

Author and eBay Power Sellers Norb and Marie Novocin finally released the long awaited tales of their successes and adventures, “Getting Sold On eBay: The Treasure Hunter’s Guide To Making Money.” The book contains over 200 pages of the real life experiences of the Novocin family team. “This book was written to help both the experienced and non-experienced sellers on eBay. It puts our real eBay experiences, good and bad, in the hands of the reader. As you can imagine selling over 36,000 unique items over the past fourteen years has provided page after page of valuable information that will put anyone serious about making money on eBay on the track to success,” says author Norb Novocin. He goes on to say, “In today’s economy, the income that folks can derive from a home based business can make all the difference in the world. Helping another family’s business become a profitable success is an excitement unlike any other.”

Through the years, Norb & Marie have shared their exciting “Treasure Tales” amazing their many friends, family and others. It wasn’t long before these folks and even people they had never met face to face, such as eBay clients and others, who followed their auctions encouraged them to write a book and share the secrets of their success. Now those secrets are revealed in this fun and easy to read guide.

“We have worked on this book for over two years. It’s packed with full color photos of actual items we’ve bought and then sold on eBay. We specialize in antiques, collectibles, rare items and we love those one of a kind, quirky, unusual never before seen finds–we’re kind of eccentric that way. In our book we explain in detail what to look for, where to find it and how to sell it on eBay in such a way to maximize your profits. We still manage to sell hundreds of items a month even after the release of our book, I guess we’re proud of the fact that after we authored the book we are still as active as ever on eBay,” says co-author Marie Novocin.

As of February, 2012 the Novocin’s eBay seller ID, EstateAuctionsInc, has maintained a stunning 100% positive feedback rating, over 15,000! They insist on doing things first class, start to finish, so it’s no surprise they have also started a DVD training course which works hand in hand with their book. For a limited time they have included this free of charge with the purchase of Getting Sold On eBay. “We are including Volume One of our DVD training which includes over an hour of hands on training. We are actively producing more video resources which will be available online and in DVD format in the near future,” says Judah Novocin, Video Content Manager.

The book is available on eBay, of course, as well as the Getting Sold On eBay website and Amazon. However the free DVD offer is only limited to purchases made on eBay or the Getting Sold on eBay Website.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

Builders Digital Experience (BDX), a leading provider of digital marketing resources for new home builders will be exhibiting their latest builder marketing and technology solutions this week at the 2012 International Builders Show in Orlando, Florida.

The company will unveil their new “BDX Listings Plus” and “BDX Listings Premium” online marketing packages for builders. These newest BDX solutions give builders unprecedented access to over 40 million consumers across the Internet as well as over 1 million real estate agents nationwide.

With BDX Listings Plus builders will have their homes and communities featured on NewHomeSource and Move New Homes, the two leading new home websites* and across the BDX distribution network which includes over 300 partner sites like Trulia, AOL Real Estate, MSN, Yahoo Real Estate and more. New home listings are also distributed through the New Home Source Professional network which reaches over one million real estate agents. BDX Listings Premium allows builders to build on their core listing package by adding banner advertising on their BDX home details pages.

“Last year BDX delivered over half a million home buyer leads to builders through our listings distribution network,” said Tim Costello, chief executive officer of BDX. “As builders look to get more from each dollar in their marketing budget, we’ve made it easier than ever to reach a wide audience of new home shoppers and the agents who represent them.”

The company will also be featuring new builder technology solutions including an interactive plat map built on Microsoft Surface, a multi-touch table device designed for 360 degree viewing and the new Architect series from EXSquared. The Architect group is a suite of web, mobile, iPad, iPhone and Android solutions designed to help builders develop a complete digital presence.

“From creating websites and mobile sites to custom device specific applications and portable sales pitches, this really is a game-changer for the building industry,” said Krishna Murthy, vice president and chief technology officer, EX2 Solutions. “For the first time a builder can integrate their BDX community and home listings data directly into their website, mobile site and across a series of applications – saving time, resources and improving the overall home buyer experience.”

BDX will also be demonstrating the latest rich media solutions to help builders bring their communities to life for potential buyers. In addition to renderings, floor plans, videos, and animations, two new solutions will be on display at the show.

True-scale wall murals are life-size wall graphics to be used in a design or sales center to highlight a home’s hidden and often overlooked features. The mural is a virtual wall cutaway that gives a potential buyer a glimpse inside the wall at a fraction of the cost of a traditional project.

Flycam 3D videos take potential homebuyers on an unforgettable and realistic home tour experience. The patent-pending Flycam technology gives viewers a life-like perspective of the home.

Builders are encouraged to visit Booth W4747 at the International Builders Show in Orlando from February 8-11 to find out more about these solutions and discover how BDX can help them connect with consumers and realtors across the Internet. BDX’s online marketing experts will be available in the booth throughout the show.

Breakfast Point Panama City Beach
Huff Homes Model Home

Panama City Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 03, 2012

Local Niceville, Florida, custom home builder Huff Homes announces partnership with nationally-recognized, residential resort community developer, St. Joe Company. The two real estate development giants are coming together for the Panama City Beach, Florida-based “Breakfast Point” moderately-priced, family residential, planned community.

Panama City Beach has long been a major tourist destination. For many years, it has drawn throngs of young adults and families alike – all seeking to relax and enjoy themselves among these pristine white beaches settled right along the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico.

In recent years, however, there has been a slight – yet subtle – shift. The beaches themselves have been cleaned out, cleaned up, and restored.

Many older hotels, once drawing in the rowdier crowds during summer months, have been taken down or vastly remodeled. Many owners have even sold their more run-down properties for land to other developers in recent years for new, modern – and upscale – construction.

New family-oriented mid to high-end condominium projects have also been developed and many major restaurants and national retailers such as “Home Depot” and “Lowes” have popped up in the traditional “beach” area of Panama City… something unheard of in years past.

Understandably, this began to draw a different type of crowd to Panama City Beach as well. This is especially true of the areas known as “Middle” and “Back” Beach which run “behind” but parallel to the main beach drag. While removed from the direct “hustle and bustle” of the vacationing crowds, these areas really lie just a few mere miles from the beach itself.

Perhaps the two most significant developments in the last couple of years contributing toward this changing image are “Pier Park” – a huge outdoor shopping complex with major national brands in retail and restaurant – and Frank Brown Park. This world-class sports complex has baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts, an acquatic center complete with a mini-water park, and so much more.

The result of all of this being that Panama City Beach has now become one of the most sought-after areas for families in the entire Sunshine State of Florida.

To meet this growing demand, the St. Joe Company – famous for their resort destination high-end developments – has introduced Breakfast Point.

Nestled among conservation land and mapped out as a “planned community,” Breakfast Point in Panama City Beach will have many of the upscale amenities people have come to expect from St. Joe with a much lower price tag. Additionally, homes, while starting in the $ 220Ks (a reasonable price for many families seeking to live in a “beach community”) will also be very similar to those seen other St. Joe projects.

Local development and construction firm Huff Homes, based out of Niceville, Florida, is one of just two companies selected by St. Joe to build out these home sites in Breakfast Point.

Owned and operated by Okaloosa County natives Chandler and Brandon, Huff Homes has a sterling reputation for construction quality of both custom homes in the multi-million dollar range and “subdivision” or “spec” homes with a much more moderate price tag. In fact, the Huffs are truly regarded as one of this area’s “best builders”.

For the Breakfast Point development, the Huffs have also joined forces with Panama City entrepreneur Matt Brandman. Matt’s enthusiasm for this project is evident from the moment he begins speaking about this venture, especially when it comes to the potential benefits he sees for the Panama City Beach area as a whole and the quality delivered to homeowners who select a Huff Home in Breakfast Point:

“We are extremely pleased with the success we have had in Breakfast Point to date. We feel this community is in the best location, offering product that does not exist in the market, and building extremely energy efficient homes at very affordable prices. We are also very pleased to be able to bring the Huff brand to Bay County and continue the track record of happy Huff homeowners throughout Northwest Florida. Our attention to detail and customer centric culture we have been able to build sets us apart from other builders and used homes.”

Breakfast Point is quickly becoming the standard by which all future Panama City Beach family communities will be measured. The location can’t be beat and Breakfast Point local schools, another vital consideration for families, are top-notch.

Adjacent to the community is Breakfast Point Academy, a K through 6 school which has maintained an “A” rating from the Florida Department of Education since opening in 2009. Nearby zoned schools include Surfside Middle School, located about four miles from Breakfast Point and J.R. Arnold High School which is less than two miles from the community.

As Brandman says, “When you take into account the convenient location, the top-tier education available, the community amenities, and the quality homes to be built by Huff Homes, Breakfast Point is just hard to beat. It offers our homebuyers a unique community where you can walk your kids to school, walk to the grocery store and stop at Home Depot on the way home. We are close to all major employment centers in the Panama City area, as well as the world’s most beautiful beaches. All retailers and restaurants like Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, are right at our front door.”

All-in-all Breakfast Point certainly appears a sound investment for anyone seeking to live within 5 miles of the Beach while still enjoying a slightly-secluded, yet convenient, “planned community” environment.

Ken Brand – Author, Mentor, Speaker, Real Estate Sociologist

The Woodlands, Texas (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

Putting aside “in your face” selling techniques and superseding fears, real estate veteran Ken Brand offers three stages for “Socially Savvy Success” that actually work in his new book “Less Blah Blah More Ah Ha: How Social Savvy Real Estate Agents Become Trusted, Preferred, Referred—and Rewarded” (ISBN 9780615462424, CreateSpace, 2011).

Selling real estate isn’t about the agent but the customer. Old school selfish-selling styles, including chasing after strangers, spamming, and badgering friends, only give real estate agents a bad name. Ken Brand turns that situation around for agents who want to be successful, self-respecting, and deliver satisfaction to their customers in his new book “Less Blah Blah More Ah Ha: How Social Savvy Real Estate Agents Become Trusted, Preferred, Referred—and Rewarded.”

Ken’s personal and entertaining style presents pages filled with industry-specific wisdom as he breaks down real estate sales into the three stages of Social Savvy Success:

1. Fundamental Laws of Human Behavior, so agents will learn how to become “more visible, choosable, and referable.”

2. Stepping Out of Your Own Way, by learning how to get over self-imposed emotional and mental obstacles, and

3. Putting It All Together, which provides 40 different actions and activities to help real estate agents succeed. From learning the Golden Rule 2.0 to learning how to use social media to your benefit, “Less Blah Blah More Ah Ha” delivers exactly what its title promises.

With thirty-three years of experience in the real estate business, Ken Brand has seen it all, from real estate bubbles bursting to worthy wins. He has been a top performing real estate agent, a new home salesperson, a marketing director, a brokerage company owner, a sales manager, and a writer, blogger, and speaker on real estate. Now he’s compiled his decades’ worth of wisdom and experience into a book that cuts to the chase about what real estate agents need to know in order to sell real estate successfully.

Readers, real estate agents, salespeople, and home buyers nationwide are praising “Less Blah Blah More Ah Ha.” Former real estate agent, Irene Watson of Reader Views states, “Like a well-written novel, the cliff hangers at the end of each chapter don’t allow you to put the book down….a must-have for all real estate agents, especially those starting out in the highly competitive industry.” Michele and Greg Flory of Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors in The Woodlands, Texas, state: “For new agents, this should be the first book for your real estate library!…Ken’s in-depth discussion of social media marketing provides the tools to level the playing field and take our business to the next level.” And Mike Bowler Sr. of Coldwell Banker Hubbell Briarwood in Lansing, Michigan proclaims, “Ken Brand is a trip that every real estate agent should get to know….I have followed Ken online for four years now and am just amazed with his passion and knowledge for our industry. You’ll have this book all marked up with a highlighter and be on information overload by the time you finish it.”

About the Author

As a leader, mentor, speaker, parent, amateur athlete, real estate sociologist, husband, and Transmedia anthropologist, Ken Brand has been involved in more than 16,700 real estate transactions since 1978 in San Diego, Austin, Aspen, and The Woodlands, Texas. He is the Sales Manager of Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors’ multi-award winning Research Forest Office in The Woodlands, Texas. Ken also presents at social media events, is a guest contributor for one of the nation’s most read online real estate magazines, AgentGenius.com, and teaches sales and business development classes for Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors (Houston, Texas) and The Wizard Academy (Austin, Texas).

“Less Blah Blah More Ah Ha: How Social Savvy Real Estate Agents Become Trusted, Preferred, Referred—and Rewarded” (ISBN 9780615462424, CreateSpace, 2011) can be purchased through local and online bookstores.

Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire (PRWEB UK) 23 January 2012

The Cotswolds has long been a property hotspot with its honey coloured stone houses and attractive villages.

Just on the edge of this area, the villages of Evesham, Abbots Salford and Welford on Avon offer hidden gems of quality Cotswold property without the traditionally high prices of their neighbours.

Knight Frank’s Stratford upon Avon office is currently marketing a number of attractive Cotswold properties in these locations.

Rupert Wakley, partner and head of the Stratford upon Avon estate agents comments:

“The three main issues for the property market in 2012 are falling household incomes, mortgage market restrictions and the risk of rising interest rates. For those with access to equity there will be considerable opportunities. There are some superb properties out there which in a few years time will look like canny investments.”

The Croft is a substantial Georgian townhouse set on the outskirts of Evesham and one of those canny investment opportunities.

This period family home dates back to 1890 and sits well back in a substantial plot of around 0.5 of an acre with views towards the Cotswold escarpment.

There is a light and spacious drawing room; dining room with sash window, open fireplace and wooden floors; separate sitting room, study and kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor and six well propportioned bedrooms upstairs.

Outside there is a coach house which has been converted to games room/workshop, but could easily be converted to a home office or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. The Croft is being marketed with a guide price of £699,000.

Also on the edge of Evesham is 70 Greenhill, a handsome six bedroom Grade II listed Georgian townhouse. The house has been refurbished and reconfigured throughout to create a beautiful family home with elegant rooms. Many of the original features have been retained including sash windows, cornicing and architraves.

On the first floor there is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, bedroom two and family bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the second floor. Outside, the walled gardens create a private area for entertaining. There is a recently constructed double garage and ample gated parking. 70 Greenhill is being marketed with a guide price of £745,000.

Further north of Evesham is the pretty hamlet of Abbots Salford where Knight Frank are selling The Red House, a commanding Grade II listed, three storey Georgian former farmhouse, dating back to the early 1800s.

The property has high ceilings, large sash windows and an abundance of character details including flagstone floors, panelled doors and moulded ceilings. Accommodation on the ground floor includes three reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room which provides a great space for modern family living.

There are four good sized bedrooms on the first floor, three of which have en suite bathrooms. To the second floor is a master bedroom suite with a large en suite bathroom and separate dressing room and a further bedroom. Outside, steps lead up to a raised garden, mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and a patio area adjacent to the house with access to the kitchen/breakfast room. The Red House is being marketed with a guide price of £675,000.

“Fashionable areas such as the north Cotswolds and the town centres of Stratford upon Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa are seeing the strongest demand,” Wakley comments.

“The key to recovery is a realisation that prices have to adjust to market forces. With a quality property, shrewd marketing and an experienced team, a good result is possible.”

Central Valley, NY (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

Sales have begun at Palisades Ridge and Kensington Station, the latest phases of construction with homes for all ages at Woodbury Junction, a master-planned 450-home community in Central Valley, N.Y., built by The Carteret Group.

Centrally located, Woodbury Junction is surrounded by 120 acres of pristine parkland and provides buyers with breathtaking views of the Schunnemunk Mountains, endless amenities, a secure environment and multigenerational living – with single family homes for all ages (Palisades Ridge) and homes exclusively for adults 55 and older (Kensington Station) – all at an affordable price.

“Woodbury Junction has so much to offer,” said Theresa Budich, licensed real estate salesperson with Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty, the exclusive listing broker for the community. “It’s close to major roadways – right by Routes 6, 17 and 32 – and is easily accessible to the bus and train stations. Whether it’s a young family from the city looking for great schools and more room to grow, or a retired couple who wants to be closer to shopping and dining, Woodbury Junction provides the ideal community to call home. It’s unlike anything else in the area.”

Located just one mile from the New York State Thruway and minutes from the Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, Woodbury Junction offers a convenient commute to Manhattan, Westchester, Rockland and parts of New Jersey. Its accessibility to shopping, dining and recreation make the community an attractive place to live for professionals, families and retirees alike. Although the community is close to major roadways and recreational activities, it still maintains its quiet suburban charm inside a gated entrance, manned by a security guard 24 hours a day.

Furthermore, the community is affordable and competitively priced, providing a value like no other community in the area. Palisades Ridge offers three- and four-bedroom homes in a variety of styles starting at $ 379,900. Homes range from 2,300 to 3,000 square feet, and are custom-built according to the buyer’s preferences. Amenities include vinyl siding; two-zone energy efficient forced air heat and air conditioning; crown and chair moldings; a fireplace; recessed lighting; hardwood floors; granite countertops; custom-crafted maple cabinetry; Kohler faucets; a pre-treated deck or patio and more. Homes in Kensington Station, the 55 and over community, start at $ 315,000, and range from 1,300 square feet to 2,400 square feet. Homes in both sections of Woodbury Junction are available for immediate occupancy.

“There is no other community in this region that offers the same amenities at such a low price point,” said Jay Himelson, associate broker with Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty. “Children, parents and grandparents can all live in the same neighborhood, and everyone can have peace of mind knowing that the community is gated and secure. Kids can play outside and families can go for walks together at night. Having that assurance is priceless.”

When construction is complete, the community will have two clubhouses: one for the multigenerational community and one for the 55 and older community. The clubhouses will be ideal for recreation and social events, and will feature a wellness room, fitness center, indoor pool, kitchen, library, billiards, gathering room and bar.

Malaysia property classifieds

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (PRWEB) May 10, 2011

iProperty has officially put the Malaysia property industry on notice. For too long the bane of a new generation of tech-savvy real estate investors looking for investment property, wading through tons of irrelevant, inaccurate property listings on a cluttered interface will soon be as outdated as typewriters are today.

“iProperty and many other Malaysia property portals have long faced the challenge of reaching out to the Web 2.0 generation, even though studies have shown that they comprise 70% of the mid-range condominium, first time and Penang properties category of home buyers,” says Loh-Lim Shen Yi, marketing manager of iProperty Malaysia.

He continues, “Even though iProperty has long dominated the market for mature investors, I admit that the 20-35 range has until recently been an untapped market for us.”

As a result, iProperty has developed Property Guru, a new system following up-to-date business web design best practices. Taking a page from Google or Bing’s no-frills search box only page, the only thing that the visitor sees when they first pull up to Property Guru is a search box and nothing else. There are no articles, no banners, no advertisements; nothing that can distract the young property hunter or real estate agent from searching for that elusive investment property has been placed on the front page.

With the new search engine experience, you can search for that perfect terraced house or high rise condominium without going through page upon page of information. The users of the beta interface will be able to draw results from iProperty Malaysia’s 220,000 listings even though it still hasn’t been integrated into the main site. The beta site sacrifices none of the functionality that the original site has.

Shen continues, “Property Guru has gone the Malaysia real estate industry one better. Where most companies in this industry flat-out ignore this lucrative market, our solution provides an optimized user experience for anyone looking for residential, commercial and other forms of property.

The cutting edge features of the new Property Guru site includes:

Capabilities of searching for specific addresses. If the user knows the exact address or location of a specific property, they can simply type it in the search box and will get the nearest possible result.
Buttons and text sizes that are easy on the eyes.
Each listing is accompanied by a detailed map from Google maps that shows visually what amenities, transportation and public utilities are available in the vicinity.

“The goal of this new search experience is to make searching for Malaysia real estate as easy as possible,” Shen adds, “This makes searching for properties as simple as opening the page, typing in what you want and then getting the results, even a five-year-old can do it without getting lost.”

To experience the next generation of real estate portals, go to Property Guru for immediate access today.

iProperty.com Malaysia is an online property hub by the iPGA group. iProperty.com Malaysia continues to garner awards. The real estate portal has maintained its no. 1 spot as certified by Frost & Sullivan, Comscore and Google Ad Planner. For property inquiries, email my.info(at)iproperty(dot)com.
