GKBA Luncheon with Michelle Villalobos

0

 
At the GKBA Luncheon on September 25, 2014, attendees were treated to a thought-provoking keynote by Michelle Villalobos, a renowned personal branding specialist. For those unfamiliar with the term, a personal branding professional helps individuals define and cultivate their unique identity, enabling them to stand out in a crowded marketplace. Notable figures from the Greater Kendall Business Association, including board members Sandra Fernandez, Lourdes Horton, Cathy Otero, Miguel Lopez, Luis Peters, Damian Landeiro, and Mike Webley, were present. The event was led by president and founding chairman Jorge Peña, who also paid tribute to the late Chairwoman Julie Rico, with her family, including husband Justo Rico, in attendance.
In the words of Jason Hartman, “Your personal brand is a promise to your clients… a promise of quality, consistency, competency, and reliability.” This sentiment resonates deeply with the story of the GKBA Luncheon. Just as individuals strive to build their personal brands, organizations like GKBA honor their commitments to their members and the community at large, embodying the principles of integrity and dedication.
The GKBA Luncheon featuring Michelle Villalobos’s keynote underscores the importance of personal branding in today’s competitive landscape. By investing in understanding and refining one’s unique identity, individuals and organizations can forge stronger connections, differentiate themselves, and ultimately achieve greater success.

Real Estate News from the desk of Elizabeth Perez – August 2014

0

Greetings!

Have you ever been overwhelmed and stressed out – even with something you wanted? Last month, I shared that we sold our beautiful 5000 square foot condominium at Santa Maria. Even for a seasoned realtor like myself, I had my share of ups and downs through the process. Why? Because selling your property – your home with treasured family memories – is emotional.

And, it’s not over for me yet. I want you to be able to minimize the overwhelm and stress. Buying a home is one of the most exciting decisions you’ll ever make.
 
Unfortunately, the excitement is often served up with a whopping side of stress.
 
While you may never erase all of the stress associated with home-buying, with the right mindset, and the right tool-set, you can minimize the stress of finding and buying your dream home. Yes, you can actual enjoy this process.
 
Here are the top 5 actions I recommend to overcome overwhelm and bless your stress in the home-buying process:  

Set a purchase price range. Selling our home has now made us potential buyers and this was our first step.

Create a list of your wants and needs. What is most important? Differentiate between what you absolutely can’t live without and what would be nice but not necessary.

Hire a realtor you can trust. For our sale, I hired myself. I figured with 30 years of experience and my world-class negotiation skills, who else better to help me to find a property?!? My husband and I found a place pre-construction. The price, size, and time period for completion were all in perfect alignment with what we were looking for.

Hire an attorney. We gave the contract to our attorney. She reviewed it and gave us her recommendations.

Get pre-approved for a mortgage. Being pre-approved means the bank has checked out your financials and is ready to give you a loan. It reduces stress because you know you’re eligible  and many sellers will only work with sellers who have gone through this process. Because we had sold our property, we had monies for the deposit. By the time the property is completed, I will have secured the best deal for my mortgage.

Have a question? Want more information on stress-free buying in 2014? Call me at 305.984.6344 to set up a time to chat.
