Realtor Observations

While real estate can be a very good investment vehicle worth considering, some people are now offering real estate seminars in Oklahoma City that make outrageous get rich quick promises. Many people are attracted to the prospect of making thousands of dollars on property after investing a small amount of money. You can end up investing hundreds and even thousands of dollars for these seminars that tell you there is fast money in real estate. While some seminars are legit, some are a scam.

Indeed there are genuine seminars that educate investors on the real estate industry without making guarantees of quick wealth. Tread cautiously if you see ads promoting ‘investment secrets’ and ‘risk free investments’ for these seminars.

Here are some questions to ask yourself before attending any of these seminars.

Can the speaker show real experience that he has he made money from real estate investments?

The speaker should be able to provide real proof that he has used the information he is offering to make wealth. Proper information and recommendations about the speaker should be provided with accurate contacts that can be investigated further. Be weary of speakers who use religion to gain credibility.

Is proper information provided prior at the seminar?

Most advertisements about a seminar tend to focus on the good things without giving real information. A beautiful picture of wealth and luxury is painted without any real information on how to get there. Good real estate seminars in Oklahoma City should give you details on what you would have to do to make a profit and mistakes you should avoid. The objectives and the discussion points of the seminar should be clearly spelt out in advance.

What materials are provided?

Many seminars offer books and CDs for sale. Ensure that the materials provided are useful and written by well-known authors. Read through the first few pages and go through the table of contents. This will give you a good idea about the material and what it covers. Many of these real estate seminars in Oklahoma City are simply used as avenues to sell more books and CDs while offering no real information.

Real estate seminars in Oklahoma City that offer exaggerated results and out of this world profits for a small investment are an outright scam. Legitimate seminars will focus on giving you step by step guidelines and solutions without making wild promises. Proper references will be provided, and speakers will be well known successful individuals in the real estate field.

Living together can often be a tough gig even for members of the same family. 

As a Realtor I am often privy to observations of many peoples’ lives.  We get to see inside the inner workings of the home.  You can tell a lot about peoples’ relations to one another and the world by their home setup.

One interesting Observation I have made as late is the existence of the man room.  One of the things that I learned early in my career in real estate is that contrary to the cliches about the king and his castle the home was clearly  the domain of the woman.

The Man Room is the final strong hold of the King that has been driven from his castle.  He has forfeited all rights to the rest of the home in hopes of defending one last room.  The final refuge if you will.  The vestige of Manly pride of years before.

A Female Realtor in our office describes the man room this way:  The man room is a place that smells like farts and BO.   A place where you can throw your underwear on the floor.  A place where a man can go back to his primitive caveman ways. 

I would describe it a little differently.  I would say the man room is a place where function rules above form.  Where asthetics take second fiddle to comfort.  The man room is designed for comfort and relaxation without regard for exhibition.

I shall close by saying to you brave men that hold down your fort.  Good Luck.  Don’t break the line. God Save the King.
