Real Estate Law and Knowing What You are Signing
Real Estate Law is a lot more complicated than it has ever been in the past. Now when you sign a brokerage agreement with a realtor instead of 1 page or 2 pages it is 14 pages? That is just for the listing. Why is it so long? Well that is nothing compared to all the other forms involved and they just keep getting bigger due to all the laws, bureaucracy and lawyers. Everyone is so busy trying to cover themselves and their rear ends from every known or potential eventuality.
It is a giant game of 100s of pages of What Ifs. How can you have time to read it all? Well you need to make the time and it also makes sense to not allow yourself to be forced into doing anything too fast out of social conditioning. Such as thinking you might look stupid if you read it all or that you are wasting the other person’s time. In Real Estate Law you have a right to knowing what you are signing and why.
If you were a business person would you sign an agreement without reading it all the way through? I think not. And realize your home is probably the biggest personal investment you will ever make and it will take you years to pay it off. Is it worth rushing through if you still have questions? Read it, understand it and ask questions and you will be glad you did.
Go buy the book Real Estate Law 4 Smarty Pants’ if you can find that title; if you have to, but please read and understand what you are signing. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
What You Should Know About Property Managers
A person who is charged with the operation of a property related to the real state for a specific fee is known as property managers. These people are hired when the owner of that particular property does not have the time to look after the minute details or does not have the interest in performing the task. The property owners are also known as estate managers. The property that has been assigned to the estate manager can be one which is owned by an individual. It can also be owned in terms of sectional titles or a company in the form of share blocks. The property can also be a residentially registered property, any kind of commercial office, can be for industrial usage or retail usage.
Responsibility of the Property Managers:
There are several duties that are assigned to the estate or a property manager. These duties can be listed in the following form:
* Finding several tenants.
* Dealing with them
* Eviction of the tenants are also included
* Cleaning works
* Maintenance of garden
* Improvement of Home.
* Removal of snow.
* Landscaping.
All these jobs have to be performed by the property manager according to the orders of the owners of the properties. It has to be done according to the whims and fancies of the owner. All these different types of management largely require the job of collecting the rents, payment of the necessary expenses including taxes. Periodic or daily reports are also done by the property managers. Many a times the owner hands over some specific or special types of tasks and gives the chance to the estate managers so as to deal with the tenants directly.
Services Offered:
Several services have to be arranged by the property managers in order to complete the given work which is allotted to them by the property owners. All these works are done with a payment of a required amount of fee which is demanded by the managers themselves. In case of managing a vacation house or a summer house the property managers are also given the responsibility for a sharp monitoring of the security system. Following services are handled by the property managers as well.

Many a times, the commercial properties are also handled by the property managers. In case of the commercial properties the businesses are controlled by these managers along with the handling of the property. There are several jurisdictions under which a license has to be acquired by the estate manager in order to come into this profession so as to handle the commercial properties. For an estate manager, the primary responsibility includes the responsibility towards the landlord. The responsibility towards the tenant comes next. The relationship of these managers with the tenants and the landlords are highly important in order to form a bond and a level of trust among them. There are certain expectations out of it since the tenants and landlords try to reap benefits from the works of property managers.
