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.
