General Meeting Opening Speaker
Laurie Zoock of Credit Advocate Services presents:
Improve Your Credit & Earn The Best Rates
Laurie Zoock, president of Credit Advocate Services, Inc., will speak at the July General Meeting Early Event about how you can quickly and legitimately develop good credit, improve your credit scores and qualify for lower interest rates. Laurie will also share tips on how you can correct your credit reports. She will tell members and guests how to best protect yourself from zombie debt and how to prevent becoming a victim of identity theft. Laurie knows some information that will reveal how the credit reporting agencies operate and how to avoid spending money on those so-called “free” credit reports.
Laurie has appeared on local television as an expert promoting educational aspects of understanding credit from the consumer’s point of view. She has worked successfully with many credit-challenged clients throughout the U.S., including id theft victims, in straightening out their credit reports as well as providing consumer information on how to develop positive credit quickly and legitimately. By attempting to ensure their credit reports are in order, client’s scores reflect more accurately; qualifying the client for much lower interest rates in many cases, and potentially saving them thousands of dollars over their lifetime. Laurie Zoock is an Ezineareticles.com expert and former "Credit Crunch Crises" for Dunndeal Publications. A recent television show may be viewed at www.realvideoproduction.com. She offers affordable options for serious clients, and there is no charge for a credit report analysis. Laurie recently appeared on local television station WTSP speaking about the recent Consumer’s Credit Card Bill of Rights.

Advanced Investor’s Luncheon
Wednesday, July 8, 2009, 12:30 PM
Sam Seltzer’s Steakhouse, 4744 Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa
Real Estate Auctions That SELL & CLOSE !
Guest Speaker: Steve Doran of Premier Auction Group, Inc.
The luncheon planned for July 8 at 12:30 pm will have Steve Doran of Premier Auction Group, Inc., speaking to members and guests about on-site real estate auctions. Premier Auction Group offers a method to sellers that cannot be matched by traditional real estate sales venues.
Premier Auction Group, Inc is a licensed real estate broker in the state of Florida that sells by auction method. With corporate offices located in Palm Harbor, there is also a satellite sales office on the east coast of Florida in Palm Beach County. Specializing in auctions that close is what sets PAG apart from many of the other auction companies. The staff at PAG knows their clients are using them to get to a closing table, not just have an auction. To maintain a successful closing ratio of 75% PAG is very selective in the projects it accepts. Of the 12 licensed real estate sales agents at PAG, four are also licensed as Brokers; an additional four are licensed as Auctioneers.
Premier Auction Group successfully auctions residential homes, commercial buildings and land ranging in value from $25,000 lots to $2.5M commercial buildings. Premier Auction Group has sold and closed everything in between.
Steve Doran of Premier Auction Group, explains “PAG provides an ‘Accelerated Real Estate Solution’ in any market. A successful auction will demonstrate the true market value for any real estate. Provided several tasks are accomplished properly, you will know exactly where your property stands in the market. In this market sometimes the reality is not pleasant. That does not mean it is not accurate. People that did not believe or accept what they were being offered 12 and 18 months ago would gladly take those offers today. The immediate market that we are in is that of decline. How do you catch a falling knife? Most say wait until it hits the floor. PAG has buyers competing on catching the falling knife. We do not look for listings or representation of buyers. We do auctions - One project for one seller, sold one at a time. That is what we do better than anyone else!”
The process is:
• Seller and PAG agree on the potential of a project.
• Advertising campaign and expenses are determined. The seller pays for a portion of the advertising in advance of the promotion.
• Promote the property for 30 to 40 days.
• Hold the auction ONSITE.
• Write a no contingency contract on auction day with 5% non refundable deposit placed with a 3rd party.
• Closing occurs within 30 to 45 days.
PAG will evaluate your property for a successful auction. If PAG does not believe your expectations will be met, they will pass on the project. Steve Doran explains, “It doesn’t do anyone any good to have an auction that does not close.”
Be sure to attend the SREIA July Luncheon Event and hear Steve Doran’s presentation. You will want to learn about this method and have the knowledge that Steve will share with members and guests. Bring your questions and bring a new member or guest to learn about this fast growing alternative to traditional real estate sales methods.
