Implying the present value of future dollars is another good way of leveraging your price. Have a unique/specialized knowledge to direct people to get what they want to get what we want. Leverage, the IRS strategy wherein the owner can defer capital gains over many years, then bake a forbearance agreement. Do NOT place Seller-Financing in your ads. Instead, say, “Private financing for a deserving buyer with a large downpayment.” You could circle the bought notes and sell them back to the burned-out landlords. Look over the hill and see what could affect inventory. Give something of a premium value for free, so you can then grease the wheels so that then they can do business with you. Start with a good piece of property, and then you start next with how to attract the buyer you want. Work for the future. Don’t just rely on transactional income. Focus on creative terms and buying from landlords with the tax strategy.

It’s essentially one of the core values Steve lives by. Since starting Stunning Homes Realty in 2013, the brokerage has had over 130 agents.
