Gratitude 2019 Broker-Talk.com with Deanna Coyle. Deanna Coyle is a co-founder of VestaDivorce and she was a guest on our show a month ago. Her story is one very many of us can relate to. So many people go through difficult marriages, grow up in difficult households, live without love and have to survive. Life is pain is an axiom for all, we end up dead and that is no real spoiler. No life is without pain and challenges, have you ever heard the story of Buddha?

Broker-Talk.com is a 30 minute show about real estate and life. Co-hosts Larry Lawfer and Jim Lowenstern discuss topics of real estate and a life lived. Deanna’s life of hope and rejuvenation has helped her build a business that on a daily basis helps people who need this help. Her spirit of gratitude comes from her life experiences.

Read about it in her own words, on vestadivorce.com blog Negative Experience Recovery|Vesta: Redefining Divorce.x Today we get together on our show to share what we are grateful for in our lives. Living in this spirit where you are actively searching in your day for things to feel good about, to feel they are your power, gives you power.

When you look for what is working in your life, you are drawn to it. As in Mark Manson’s Book, THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A FU*K, we learn to disregard our thoughts that have no bearing on what we want in our day, in our lives. That guy who just cut you off, or took your parking spot, it just is not worth the ruining of the day. That slight, that oversight that makes you feel invisible may not have been intentional and even if it way, it is not important to the quality of your life to dwell on it.

Are your yearly goals in sight? How is your market share?

October 1, 2018 by Larry Lawfer

Are your yearly goals in sight? How is your market share? This is the time of year when we begin writing new goals for next year, but I think it is important to check in with what you wrote last year and to see how you are doing. Personally I am having a good year, but I am no where near the year I set out to have at this time last year. I set some scary high goals I have yet to achieve. Am I disappointed yes in that I did not achieve and exceed the goals. Am I unhappy with what I have achieved, no.

Goals and records are set to give you a mile marker along the way. Getting to these mile markers is a daily task. This year I hired, then fired a coach. I worked in my home office, I worked in my office and in all honesty was not as consistent with my activities to achieve my goals. It is no one’s fault but my own and I take that responsibility as my own.

I thought the hiring of a coach, the spending of the money would push me towards more consistency and what it really did was muddy my waters. Coaching is an important aspect for any

professional to get comfortable with, but choosing a coach focused only on their own techniques and not adapting those techniques to your set of skills is the wrong fit.

There are 91 days left in this year and my one singular goal of building the habits to create the success I desire on a consistent basis is within my grasp. I grab hold of this possibility today and for the remainder of the says because my goal is in sight. Are your yearly goals in sight? How is your market share?

Building Your Family’s Wealth Over the Next 5 Years

December 13, 2016 by Larry Lawfer

Building your family's wealth over the next 5 years is about acquiring property and watching the equity grow. Purchasing real estate that is most likely to grow equity is something a professional agent is most adept at doing. You do not want the nicest house in the block but you may want the worst house on that block if the rest of the neighborhood is stable and you have the funds to bring this property up to the rest of the standards. Some repairs are minor and can be fixed with your own sweat equity, some will need a professional like a plumber or electrician. Again, a professional Realtor® who knows the area can help you with this. It takes some training and experience to be able to target the right properties in the right areas. Over the next five years, home prices are expected to appreciate 3.24% per year on average and to grow by 21.4% cumulatively, according to Pulsenomics’ most recent Home Price Expectation Survey. So, what does this mean for homeowners and their equity position? As an example, let’s assume a young couple purchases and closes on a $250,000 home in January. If we look at only the projected increase in the price of that home, how much equity will they earn over the next 5 years?

Since the experts predict that home prices will increase by 4.0% this year alone, the young homeowners will have gained over $10,000 in equity in just one year. Over a five-year period, their equity will increase by over $43,000! This figure does not even take into account their monthly principal mortgage payments. In many cases, home equity is one of the largest portions of a family’s overall net worth.

Bottom Line

Not only is homeownership something to be proud of, but it also offers you and your family the ability to build equity you can borrow against in the future. If you are ready and willing to buy, let’s get together to find out if you are able to, today!
