There has never been a better time to earn your CDPE designation. Becoming a Certified Distressed Property Expert is now $100 cheaper, thanks to a limited-time-only offer from RE/MAX University.
Sign up for the course, and take your time learning online from insiders about how to handle the delicate nature of these properties and how to navigate the legal roadblocks. "The CDPE Designation is the most effective educational solution we have seen to address this market,” Dave Liniger said. http://public.remax.net/public-news/Pages/NewCDPECourse.aspx |

The National Association of Home Builders recently released a new economic index that highlights housing metropolitan areas that are seeing improvements in their housing markets.
Waco and Midland are two cities in Texas that are making big improvements, so we reached out to RE/MAX 1st Choice Broker/Owner RC (Skeet) Doss to ask, “What’s going on in Midland.” Below is his response, verbatim: Blessed Midland! We have finally had 3.5 inches of rain at my house this week and we have a market that is so hot the rain can't even put it out. Worldwide demand for oil and astounding new field discoveries have done nothing but bring hordes of new workers to our area to man the drilling rigs, the service companies and to handle all of the legal aspects of drilling. We can barely keep enough houses on the market at any time to have any more than 5 or 6 choices for many buyers wanting to purchase. Our apartments, hotels and rentals are all at near capacity and it is making it extremely difficult now for people to find affordable housing as demand bought on by a tight market has done nothing but drive prices up. We face a market some of the time with less listings than licensed real estate agents. The drought has brought much disaster as far our agricultural aspects of our economy are concerned, however, we unlike a lot of other places, have had the oil industry to fall back on and it has helped us through this horrible heat. Midland boasts great schools both private and public, a wonder volunteer community theatre to rival any in the United State as well as a wonderful Chorus/Orchestra and many, many other amenities. There are also many religious faiths practiced in Midland and beautiful churches have been built all over the city. We have a new hospital facility being built that will be the envy of many and our medical practitioners are second to none. Having an international airport of our very own makes us accessible to anywhere in the world and we can leave from our own back yard. A mind blowing new performing arts center and a new sports stadium that will take your breath away are two more wonderful attributes to Midland. We have our own baseball team, the Rockhounds, and our high school athletics are State winning champions along with our many soccer teams. Shopping, restaurants, parks, public services and the list goes on and on as to what we have to offer. Golf courses, hunting and a short jaunt to the slopes of Ruidoso, New Mexico are also wonderful advantages. I love Midland. People that live here love Midland. We have the friendliest people in the world and we are one of the best kept secrets anywhere! |
