GMAC Annual Convention

I'm sorry for the delay in writing for the last week or so, but I was at our annual conference for GMAC Real estate and this year they decided to take a cruise to Cozumel, Mexico and Belize City, Belize. It was a great trip to relax and learn some new stuff and get ready for a new year in real estate. I'm excited about the future of GMAC and some of the changes that are going on. I thought that I'd give you a little taste of what we were able to experience this past week. Above is a picture my wife took at Cozumel. Enjoy.

FREE Ebook: How To Buy A Home In Today's Market

"What do I do? I'm not quite sure how to go about this.”

~The number one question I hear when helping people buy a home.

I’ve written an ebook to answer that question.

Buying a Home In Today's Market

What Everyone Should Know Before They Buy a Home


Here are some of the things you’ll learn:

• What steps do you need to go through in order to buy a home and in what order?

• How do you position yourself to save THOUSANDS of dollars when you buy a home?

• What are some the advantages of using the services of a real estate agent?

• What is the best way to find a home?

• What forms will be necessary to buy a home?

• Do you need a lot of money to buy a home?

Here are a couple of excerpts from the book’s introduction:

I still remember when Dawn and I bought our very first home. It was the
summer of 1996 and we had been living in a bug infested apartment for way
too long. We spent hours driving around neighborhoods looking for yard
signs. We eventually called one of the agents and ended up buying a home.
We still didn't know the process but, at least, had a home. Looking back
now on those days of naivete, I realize how much we didn't know and how
much money we threw away due to our ignorance. They say knowledge is
power and I'd have to agree because the amount of money we lost in that
first transaction proved we had neither knowledge or power.

Does your current job pay you $100 per hour? If not, realize that the time you spend getting knowledge in the home buying process can easily save you thousands of dollars. I see homes bought all the time where the buyer saves $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 and sometimes more, simply because they were empowered with knowledge.
Think how many hours you would have to work at your job to make that
kind of money. Now think of what it would be like to just throw it away.
Homes are bought every day and every day thousands upon thousands of
dollars of hard earned money is thrown away by home buyers simply
because they did not take the time necessary to learn how to buy a home.
