Thompson’s Realty Welcomes Nancy Hawkes
2009-09-15 05:44:00 Ever meet someone and just think, “I like this person”? Sometimes you can’t even really place exactly why, you just know it when you meet them? Well, that’s Nancy Hawkes, the latest addition to the growing family at Thompson’s Realty. She didn’t want to do it, but here’s Nancy in her own words: Nancy Hawkes has worked previously with RE/MAX and Realty Executives. She is pleased to be part of the smaller, friendlier family at Thompson’s Realty. As a Tempe native and long term resident, Nancy knows and likes a lot of people, which enables her to work primarily by referral. She believes that providing excellent customer service and promoting her clients’ best interest is the only way to do business. Nancy’s husband, Rob, is a self-proclaimed computer nerd who writes the software tools that manages wide area networks for large corporations [Jay says, “Nerds are cool”]. They have been married a long time and have three grown sons and five grandchildr...
Realty Income (O): 'Rock solid' in real estate
2009-09-01 14:00:00 "Right now, I believe real estate investment trusts (REITs) are one of the worst places you can put your money; but there is one exception," says Tom Dyson.In Daily Wealth, he looks to Realty Income (NYSE: O), explaining, "This REIT -- which has paid 463 consecutive quarterly dividends -- is one of my all-time favorite income investments." Here's his review."I see abandoned real estate all over my town. Half the businesses still operating are running on fumes. "Our Kmart is a basket case. It's always empty. The Walgreen's is a teardown. Sears has gone. The carpet store has gone and they've boarded up the car dealership."On the other hand, guess what businesses are working best near my house? The gas station, the dry cleaners, the post office, and the Mexican restaurant. These businesses haven't seen any dent in custom, as far as I can tell."And Realty Income only does business with companies that provide basic se...
Reality Check Of The Online Realty Websites
2009-08-10 08:10:00 If I have to cover all the real estate websites in India, it will take at least a month for me to list them down. Of course it won’t be called complete the very next day as dozen new real estate websites come up every day. Just hit Google with your “city name + property” you will get hundreds of websites like cityproperty.com, cityre-alestate.com and so on. Yes, the online retail scenario is as cluttered as the offline scenario. When I was looking for accommodation in Pune someone rightly told me “every second person in Pune is a property dealer”. Not to anger our readers from Pune; the situation is as bad in every major city in India. Given the negligible investment and high payoff in this business there is no dearth of property dealers in India. When looking for real estate in India you will find some 10 property dealers trying to catch your attention but not the real estate. Same is the case online; you will find 10 different websites but not the information you ...

Top realty players set to enter warehousing
2008-06-04 08:11:00 It?s a road less travelled but real estate developers are revving up. After building luxury homes and corporate offices, top-of-the-line property developers such as Akruti City Ltd, Emaar MGF Land Ltd, K Raheja Corp., and Nitesh Estates are planning to build warehouses as organized retail booms and traditional realty market slows. With land prices in Indian cities having shot up many times, real estate firms are using their land banks that cannot be currently utilized for residential and commercial development to develop storage spaces. Though analysts said that returns in warehousing may not be immediate, they could be 18-20% on investment if the rentals are around Rs15 per sq. ft, say property consultants. Developing warehouses needs a bit more work than just building four walls and roof, which was typically how old warehouses were built in the country. The business is a lot like developing a property but to certain technological specifications. In fact, higher and better the qual...

In fact, many of them are recommending that existing investors cut their losses right away as they could be in for a long wait for share prices to come anywhere near their lofty highs.T he sharp rise in real estate prices, coupled with high borrowing costs has let to softening of demand.
