As far as looking and buying potential properties are concerned, you have to wonder if you really need a real estate broker to point you in the right way. We see properties for sale these days and apparently some of them are not to keen on dealing with brokers.

With that in mind, you can make direct transactions with them if you happen to be interested in their property. But with those options available, would you buy it for yourself or even try playing middleman and offer it at a profit? Such are the options and technically you are seeing on whether you can be a ghost broker in the process.

Do you know what happens if you die without a will? The courts will decide who will raise your children, manage your assets, inherit your possessions, and administer your estate. Heirs must usually agree on a court appointed administrator. If some of the heirs are mentally incapacitated, or under age, it gets unbelievably complicated. Add in children and spouses from previous marriages and it can become a seething pot of turmoil for your family.If your second spouse survives you, the children from your first marriage could end up with nothing. The courts may set aside assets to be given to the children when they come of age, that makes it impossible for your spouse to afford your current home or lifestyle.When there is no will and a couple dies together, the state may have to “decide” who died first. If one outlives the other, even by a few minutes, the relatives of the first to die can loose out completely.

Without proper organization your assets could go unnoticed or become lost and loved ones may not benefit from your years of hard work.

It’s pretty obvious by now that the US is suffering on the real estate market. However, like a proverbial silver lining, California Real Estate Commissioner Jeff Davi said:

“The market is cyclical, you know that,” he said. “There’s no quick fix. There’s no silver bullet.”

This was the strongest message he said yesterday in front of 300 members and guests of the San Diego Association of Realtors. As we reported last time, the city was one of the hardest hit by the market.

The commissioner also advises the vets to pair up with the greenhorn agents and that they should focus on the rising number of foreclosure properties because that is an opportunity for all.
