Cleve Gattis at Women's Council of Realtors/Atlanta - May Meeting

Cleve Gattis (Charfan Institute, CDPE) was the keynote speaker at the May Women’s Council of Realtors/Atlanta Chapter meeting at Hudson Grille in Sandy Springs, Georgia.   Here are some notes from Cleve’s informative speech:

·        Warren Buffet believes that houses are better investments than stocks.

·        Investors will pay realtors for the value that they bring to the process.  

·        Housing affordability is at an all time high.

·        This is the best time to invest in the housing market.

·        30% to 32% of all real estate transactions in 2012 will be investors.

·        Realtors should help their clients build wealth and financial stability.  

·        Investors buy a property every 2 years.

·        Home buyers buy a property every 7 years.

·        Investors are not emotional buyers.   If the numbers work, then prosperity works, and they purchase the property. 

·        Know when to walk away from a bad deal.   Look at the numbers.   If the numbers work for you, then purchase the property.  

·        CIS or CIAS programs are useful in working with investors.

·        Interest rates are so low.   It’s a great time to buy real estate.

2012 WCR Atlanta Board
Evangeline Carr, Christan Ross, Laurie Bos, Serena Henry, &  Beverly Fenello, Boh Bohorquez

President-Elect Boh Bohrquez introduced Dick Williams, from The Georgia Gang, as the keynote speaker at the WCR Atlanta October 20th business luncheon.   Mr. Williams talked about the future of Atlanta giving us a history of the transportation issues.   Transportation is why Atlanta exists with railways,  3 major highways, plus an international airport.   He noted that traffic is Atlanta's biggest problem.   We need to work on the issues like the Dallas/Fort Worth area did.  Dallas/Fort Worth is booming.   All of the new cities in the Atlanta area are doing well.  There's been a healthy trend toward small cities and municipalities.   Dick also noted that it was great that the Govenor of Georgia and the Mayor of Atlanta worked well together.

President Serena Henry introduced the 2012 WCR Atlanta Board as follows:   Evangeline Carr, Christan Ross, Laurie Bos, Beverly Fenello and Boh Bohorquez.
