A case study on private real estate investments

This is an absolutely hot Monday morning. Under normal circumstances I would have been sitting in front my computer in a dazed mood. But this is not the case today even though this is not one of those cloudy Mondays of Istanbul. I am in my Bodrum office. The Bitez area is my favorite as there is always a breeze here, even on these very hot days. I love to be here and I feel I am more creative when I am in Bodrum.

There are many things to do here in Bodrum: Fatih Erkoc and his fabulous band have a fantastic show at the Karada Marina. There is also a boat show at the D-Marin Turgutreis Marina. A Turkish show titled “Hisseli Harikalar Kumpanyası” is on the stage after having no shows for more than 20 years.

As you can read, I have had a long weekend off as I did not have time for a holiday this season. It was, and actually it still is, a very busy summer in my office.

There are several reasons for us to have a busy summer period and some of them may be of interest to foreign investors. The new zoning plan has been released and, as a consequence, many things have changed radically in Bodrum. This change has had a great impact on the construction and real estate business in this area. The construction capacity is now reduced and this has affected the land prices.

Another reason is that new international players are now getting into the Turkish market. This is good news and gives me an indication that the market will grow in the coming years.

Ok, let’s go back to the case study. I will give a very brief summary of the basic facts for the case study today because we don’t have enough space for this. Tomorrow, I will give a longer summary for the readers who have no Internet connection, and for those readers who do have the Internet can find my previous articles on this case study on the Today’s Zaman Web page.

To give a very brief summary, this case study is based on Ms. Investor, a foreign investor buying a property in Turkey, and Mr. False Real Estate Agent, a first timer who just got into the real estate business, have met and initiated the process for a real estate investment.

In Friday’s edition, Mr. False Real Estate Agent found out that the cooperative villa was not registered with the land registry office, and that the sales agreement did not state anything like “the property is registered with land registry individually, and can be transferred free of any pledges and covenants.” Following on from the argument between Mr. False Real Estate Agent and the cooperative villa seller, the seller informs Mr. False Real Estate Agent that each villa should certainly be given a separate “tapu” (property ownership) document in the future, but that this may take a very long time and no one can give an exact date for their completion.

Mr. False Real Estate Agent is desperately trying to find a solution. He thinks there should be some legal rights that can be transferred to third parties. He asks the seller how to transfer the rights on the property. The seller says that what he can transfer is his membership with the cooperative because this is the only right he has in hand. Mr. False Real Estate Agent is astonished, and he then thinks breaking the deal may be the best idea. Mr. False Real Estate Agent and the seller ask for an appointment from the board of the cooperative to see if there could be any other solutions

Tomorrow, we will continue with the case study.



HomePoint.com's New Real Estate Consulting Option Helps Consumers to Avoid 'Getting Squeezed'

HomePoint.com (http://www.homepoint.com/) is challenging the real estate status quo and standing up for consumer choice as it introduces a new option for consumers who want to participate in selling their own homes, but who don't want to (or can't) handle the whole, complex process alone.

Known as a resource that informs, counsels and empowers home sellers, HomePoint.com is now working with the professional network of ACRE(TM) (Accredited Consultant in Real Estate) experts to add consulting services to HomePoint.com's menu of readily available home selling resources. HomePoint.com's popular marketing packages for home sellers are now available with an initial one-hour "no strings attached" session with a local real estate consultant. These consultants can provide specific assistance to home sellers without taking a full commission on the transaction.

"Real estate consulting allows home owners to decide what services they require and lets them work with real estate professionals who are willing to provide those selected services on an 'a la carte' basis," said Chad Pinson, Managing Director at HomePoint.com. "With HomePoint.com's new consulting packages, sellers have options, creating a happy medium between 'going it alone' as a seller, and being forced to pay full commissions when only in need of limited or specific real estate agent services."

Real estate consulting connects skilled agents with involved home sellers to maximize the motivations of both. Agents are fairly compensated for their time and expertise and home sellers pay for only the services and guidance they need to successfully complete their transaction. New trade organizations such as ACRE(TM) are finding that consulting services, while outside the traditional full-commission model, are a valuable and helpful addition to many agents' service offerings. ACRE(TM) members go beyond the traditional model to make themselves available on a consulting basis to home buyers and sellers, who pay the agent on an hourly basis or as a pre-negotiated fixed fee. This method, which can be far less expensive to the consumer, is not widely known or utilized in the U.S.

"HomePoint.com provides a whole arsenal of weapons to home sellers who want to fight the home sales battle and emerge victorious," continues Pinson. "Sellers can order the marketing products they need and combine those with the specific services they want from an ACRE(TM) real estate professional, or work with a full service agent to fight the battle for them -- whatever they choose. Most consumers today have no transparency into, or understanding of, the home-selling process. That's just wrong -- your home is likely your most valuable asset, and many industry professionals are unwilling to explain how the process works and how fees are structured."

"Though controversial, HomePoint.com is creating dynamic new ways for consumers and agents to work together to end the stranglehold that real estate giants have around the neck of the process," said Kyle Cascioli, real estate professor at the University of Denver and Manager of Real Estate Services at HomePoint.com. "With this new real estate consulting option, agents are paid for their expertise as they provide it, and sellers receive the information they need without any strings attached. HomePoint.com combines these tools in an easy-to-use online resource that every consumer should explore before they choose how to sell their home."

HomePoint.com is also introducing a new "Home Selling Advisor" tool (http://www.homepoint.com/sellhome/home-selling-advisor.aspx) which allows consumers to compare and analyze all of the elements involved in selling a home. Home sellers can objectively explore which selling method and level of service is best for their individual needs.

Looking beyond the intimidating complexity of real estate transactions, HomePoint.com shows consumers how to sell their home on their own to eliminate "forced" commissions, work with trusted real estate consultants to manage only specific portions of the process, or sell or buy a home through a full-service, full-commission agent of their choosing. Home sellers can easily move between HomePoint.com's For Sale By Owner (FSBO), real estate consulting and full-service packages to customize their level of involvement and know exactly what they are getting for their money.



Location, location, location

This week's figures on new and existing home sales are not representative of the housing market as a whole.

Once you dig below the surface, you'll find that both sales and prices of residences in some parts of the country are actually going through the roof.
The dividing line between cold and hot is more complex than you might think. It's not always single-family homes vs. apartments, rentals vs. condos and coops, or specific regions, like the Southeast vs. the Midwest.

For that matter, it's not even central cities vs. suburbs. As the old real estate axiom goes, it all depends on location, location, location.
Nevertheless, if one had to generalize, one could say that the weakness in sales of both new and existing homes is most apparent along both coasts.
In the East, it ranges from Long Island, N.Y., to Florida in the south. On the West coast, it's mainly in California, with a few areas around Las Vegas thrown in for good measure.

In these markets, the weakness is not limited to single-family homes, but includes apartment buildings as well. This is especially true in South Florida, where "see-throughs" are ubiquitous.

In the heartland, as well as in the older industrial markets like Detroit, Syracuse and Binghamton, the housing market is fairly steady -- neither strong nor weak. It never bubbled up, so it had little reason to fall.

It's pretty clear that one of the dividing lines between hot and cold is price. High priced units are moving briskly in most parts of the country - whether they are in central cities, or gated communities in the suburbs.

Take New York City, for example. A home in Manhattan has never been more expensive than it is today.

Condos are selling for an average price of $1.5 million, according to several real estate brokers. This reflects apartments ranging from studios to multiple bedrooms.
Indeed, prices of four-bedroom apartments averaged close to $10 million during the second quarter.

Manhattan's real estate market is buoyed by Wall Street money. Hedge fund managers, investment bankers and others who make their living on the Street of Dreams can afford to spend big bucks on their weekday digs.

Speaking of bucks, the shrinking dollar has boosted the buying power of foreigners, who are pouring money into New York City real estate as an investment as well as for a place to live. See my column of July 3.

Another source of demand is from parents of students who are attending many of New York's renowned universities.

Instead of paying rent (which, as you might have guessed, is high), many are opting to buy an apartment for their kids to live in while they are in school, then either use it themselves when their offspring graduate, or sell it at a profit.
The demand for real estate in Manhattan is so strong, it's spilling over into parking spaces. It's not uncommon for a parking spot in a prime location to sell for as much as $250,000.

That's about what you'd pay for an entire house in most parts of the country.

Making Personalised Teddy Bear Gifts



The process for producing your Personalised Teddy Bear is not a simple one and is a combination of our work and your input; first we have the New Supersoft Ko-Hair Teddy Bear fabric- one of the finest Teddy Bear fabrics available- dyed to our special chosen Pantone colours.



The fabric is then cut to our exclusive Teddy Bear patterns and the safety lock-in eyes are inserted (all of our Teddy Bears are made to European safety standards). We then add the stuffing to the Teddy Bear- a mixture of kapok and crunchy beans- to give your Teddy Bear gift that special soft to touch, cuddly feel. All of this is done to ensure that your Teddy Bear gift is loved by the recipient and stands out from the other Personalised Teddy Bears on the market.

Each of our Teddy Bears comes with a special hooded top that contributes to the individual character of each and every Teddy Bear. These Teddy Bear hooded tops are custom knitted in fine-gauge fabric -to enable them to take high quality embroidery- and are assembled complete with an authentic kangaroo pocket drawstring neck and out BearWear label is stitched on the sleeve; this is all done with exceptional care and attention to detail to ensure that your Teddy Bear Gift is of the highest possible quality.

Now this is where you come in, for it's your input that will make the Teddy Bear Gift so special. First you choose your Teddy Bear's colour and select a hooded top to go on the Teddy Bear. Then comes the personal touch; you decide on the text to go on the Teddy Bear's hooded top; choosing a heart, star and even kisses to add to the Teddy Bear's garment. This allows you to truly express yourself in a meaningful and sincere way. After all, it's your input that leads to the Teddy Bear's final, unique look!

Together we can create a beautiful, personalised Teddy Bear Gift. Not only do you get to decide on the Teddy Bear's personalisation message, but the next step also invites you to personalise the Teddy Bear's greetings card both on the front and inside. Once we receive your instructions, we input the personalisation message for the Teddy Bear's garment into an embroidery software program that converts your message into a stitching file. The tiny hooded Teddy Bear garment is framed up and the design outputted to the embroidery machine where a trace takes place to ensure perfect placement of your chosen design on the Teddy Bear's garment. All of this is done to make sure that your Teddy Bear looks exactly right, according to your personal specifications.

While the Teddy Bear garment is embroidered, we print your personalised message on the Teddy Bear's greetings card and print the Teddy Bear's passport. Next the personalised Teddy Bear, the custom greetings card and the Teddy Bear passport are all placed in the gift box and the Teddy Bear is dispatched to you. All of this is done with the greatest care to make sure that your Teddy Bear arrives in perfect condition. All of these extra special touches, put together with your input, really make our Teddy Bears incomparable – your Teddy Bear will become a fine example of your individuality, and is sure to become a cherished and memorable gift.

The end result of this collaboration is a totally unique Teddy Bear Gift –because your Teddy Bear is custom manufactured to your exact specifications, it would be impossible to find another Teddy Bear like it in the world- making it a fantastic present for a loved one, friend or family member.

We have, together with our valued customers, created tens of thousands of unique Teddy Bears from our own outlets, and those of our Teddy Bear producing partners in the UK, Spain, Mallorca, and Tenerife.

Please note it's your input that makes the Teddy Bear Gift so special. The reason your Teddy Bear is so unique is because you decide on how your Teddy Bear looks, what the Teddy Bear's hoodie says and what the Teddy Bear's greeting card says.

We hope you enjoy the creative process and will continue to use us for affordable, memorable Teddy Bear Gifts in the future

Our sister company in Blackpool produce some of the finest Teddy Bears for some of the UK’s leading Hotel groups, schools, nurseries, car clubs and business of all descriptions. These Teddy Bears are usually personalised with a company name or logo. The bears make superb promotional tools, fund raisers, or thank you gifts.
