Low rates, easy mortgage, loans for a low down payment are some of the factors that have led the investors to believe that there will be a rapid increase in prices of real estate. It shows that housing equity is landing softly while rates are rising and this has given the economy a boost as a whole. A crash in this sector could lead investors into trouble
as they will have little or no equity.
When speaking of real estate, it goes without saying that there are a lot of related agencies at work here. There is a National Exchange Service which is used by property owners to defer taxes in such a way that the property is sold at the maximum value and the net worth is protected. Cushman and Wakefield are into investment brokerage: they represent the tenant and provide an advisory service. There is also an organization of brokerage firms for commercial real estate, privately owned, which endeavors to help clients make the best decisions regarding real estate investment opportunities. Colliers International and The Staubach Company also provide real estate services to their clients. The world’s single integrated service provider worldwide is the Jones Lang LaSalle. New America International covers every conceivable aspect of real estate and its related services.
A little bit of research will get you the best agents, the best deals and the pertinent information to make the right decisions.
