Queens Virtual Office Center Ready to Become the Center of Queens Real Estate Once Again

Queens, New York (PRWEB) January 04, 2012

The Executive Office Center at Fresh Meadows, once home to First Choice Real Estate, Inc., the top residential real estate company in Queens for over a decade, is ready to become the real estate center of Queens once again, according to Executive Director, Jack Blumner


The Executive Office Center at Fresh Meadows is the premiere Queens executive suite center, offering serviced office space and Queens virtual office services. Only a year old ? having celebrated its first birthday in October ? it has already attracted nearly 100 tenants and virtual tenants, including 28 law firms. Now, it has opened up the building to real estate brokers, as well.


?Queens realtors have been struggling to pay the rent since the downturn in the real estate market began six years ago,? said Mr. Blumner. They?ve been hurt by the recession more than anyone else. Now they have an option that they didn?t have before, and it?s one that fits there needs perfectly.?


?When you rent an office at the Executive Office Center at Fresh Meadows, your expenses are a fraction of what they would be in a traditional office environment,? said Mr. Blumner, ?and you are ready for business from the moment you turn the key and open the door to your new office. There?s no need to do anything but roll up your sleeves and get to work That's because everything is already in place for you.?


?Each tenant has an individual office, but all share a common receptionist and lobby/waiting area, conference room and cafeteria. One monthly fee covers all expenses, including lobby reception, telephone answering, internet, utilities and cleaning. And If you don?t need an office on a full-time basis ? and most realtors don?t ? you can become a virtual tenant at the office center for as little as $ 39/month,? said Mr. Blumner.


Steven and Jack Blumner are the former broker/owners of First Choice Real Estate, which occupied the office building from 1990, the year that it was built, until 2004, when it was sold to NRT, Inc. NRT, the largest real estate company in the United States, added the firm to its Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage group, but company gave up the Queens location after five years of battling a difficult real estate market. The Blumners converted the 10,000 square foot office building into an executive suite center after Coldwell Banker moved out.


?The Queens office building was the central hub for real estate sales in the borough for over two decades,? said Mr. Blumner. "It would not surprise me at all to see it become a major real estate center once again."


?It should be the natural choice for any real estate company seeking market penetration in Queens. Thery would have virtually no set up costs, and could be up and running in a matter of days, said Mr. Blumner. ?Any broker, for that matter, would be wise to capitalize on the long history of the building as a real estate center.?


?Our virtual office services are also ideal for independent real estate brokers who work out of their homes. They could use the office and meeting rooms on as need basis, and have the most professional business address in the borough. It is also the perfect place for realtors who would like to go into business for themselves and earn 100% of their commissions,? said Mr. Blumner.


?Several independent brokers have already signed on at the Executive Office Center, and we have been speaking with some prominent players, as well,? said Mr. Blumner. ?We presently have 28 law firms affiliated with the Executive Office Center. I would be willing to wager that there will be at least as many real estate agents operating out of this office within a year?s time.?


About the Executive Office Center at Fresh Meadows:


The Executive Office Center at Fresh Meadows is the premiere provider of serviced office space and virtual office services in Queens, New York. Day suites and conference rooms are available at hourly, daily and weekly rates. High quality video conferencing services are also available at the office center.

IXACT Contact Real Estate CRM Celebrates a Record Breaking 2011

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) January 12, 2012

2011 was a year of growth for IXACT Contact ? a year marked by more than a 100% increase in the company?s customer base. This growth has been attributed to many important initiatives IXACT Contact undertook throughout the year including joining with new strategic partners, enhancing the real estate contact management system with innovative and time-saving features, and receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from top real estate coaches and trainers, such as Gary David Hall, Jennifer Allan, and Chris Leader.


In early 2011, IXACT Contact joined forces with Jennifer Allan-Hagedorn, Real Estate Trainer, Speaker, and Author of Sell with Soul: The New Agent?s Guide to an Extraordinary Career in Real Estate. Ms. Allan-Hagedorn runs frequent webinars that help agents use their contact management system to do a better job in the key areas of conTACT and conTRACT management. Ms. Allan-Hagedorn?s preferred contact management system, and the one she uses in her webinars, is IXACT Contact. Listing and closing Activity Plans created by Ms. Allan-Hagedorn have been made available free of charge to all IXACT Contact subscribers and have received overwhelmingly positive acclaim.


In mid 2011, IXACT Contact joined forces with Hobbs/Herder, one of the leading real estate marketing training firms in North America. IXACT Contact launched a custom version of the real estate marketing software specifically for Hobbs/herder clients. This version of IXACT Contact?s real estate CRM includes five unique Activity Plans and all associated letters, call scripts, PowerKards, and Special Reports, specifically designed by Hobbs/Herder. The partnership has been tremendously successful and will expand in 2012 with the integration of IXACT Contact into Hobbs/Herder?s website offering.


The company also worked with renowned real estate CRM Consultant Gary David Hall to make Mr. Hall?s Trans-Plans available to IXACT Contact customers. Trans-Plans are comprehensive real estate transaction management plans that help REALTORS? ensure that nothing is forgotten or missed in the complex process of buying or selling real estate. Mr. Hall is the author of myriad real estate CRM publications and is known as the ?guru? of real estate database and CRM systems.


Various new features and product enhancements to the system were also released in 2011 including Email Campaign Reporting. IXACT Contact is the only real estate contact management system on the market today to have this feature. The powerful Email Campaign Reporting functionality allows users to view statistics on overall deliverability of email campaigns, including open rate, click-through rate, forward rate, and bounce rate. This feature has eliminated the need for subscribers to pay for two different systems: a real estate CRM system and an email marketing platform. Email Campaign Reporting has greatly propelled the success of the real estate contact manager.


IXACT Contact also released the ability for subscribers to create custom, graphical mass email headers and graphical mass email and letter signatures. This important enhancement to IXACT Contact has allowed subscribers to truly create a brand for themselves by designing and sending out eye-catching and impactful emails and letters.


Another key enhancement to the email marketing side of the real estate CRM has been the ability for customers to insert mail merge fields anywhere within the body of an email or letter, taking personalization to a new level.


?We?re exceptionally proud of our accomplishments as a company in 2011 and what we?ve been able to provide to our customer base. We expect 2012 will be our best year to date and we look forward to continue to provide value to our subscribers and truly exceed their expectations,? said Rich Gaasenbeek, Vice President, Sales and Marketing.

FinancialSuccessInstitute.org Announces New Study to Improve Subscribers Real Estate Investment Earnings by Owning Mortgages Inside Their IRA

Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) January 23, 2012

Richard Geller, CEO and managing director of FinancialSuccessInstitute.org, stated today, "The Institute responded quickly when the results of its latest survey came in. Of those responding, 61.2% own a self directed IRA and 40.2% have a real estate investment but only 16.1% are invested in mortgages. The institute sees an opportunity to help subscribers improve their real estate investment earnings in the coming weeks."


Geller elaborates on the study. "The study will uncover the best ways to communicate that owning mortgages in a self directed IRA improves investors real estate investment yield. Many investors simply are not aware they can hold a mortgage as a real estate investment and that mortgages offer one of the best rate of return available for a real estate investment."


Geller explains how investors will improve real estate investment earnings. "The math is straight forward. The real estate investment profits from a mortgage are completely passive income. The investor only needs to collect their real estate investment earnings in the form of a monthly check. The real estate investment profits from owning real estate is lower because of associated expenses. Maintenance, repair, and overhead costs draw down the earnings when the real estate investment is owning property. With only 16.1% of subscribers taking advantage of the better real estate investment income by holding mortgages, the opportunity for financialSuccessInstitute.org is finding a better way to educate subscribers that they can improve their real estate investment profits by owning mortgages in their self directed IRA."


Geller continues, "The new survey results show us another opportunity for investors to easily improve their real estate investment returns by switching from a self directed IRA to a self directed 401K. The Institute has already released an expert panel study revealing the many ways switching from a self directed IRA to a self directed 401K increases an investor's real estate investment earnings. Improving their real estate investment by switching to a self directed 401K is based on the same principle as moving into mortgages rather than owning real estate. An investor's real estate investment profits increase because expenses decrease. This will be welcome information to the Institute's subscribers because 54.6% of those responding to the survey said custodians charge too much for services. Investors will convert those costs into profits for their real estate investment by switching a self directed 401K that doesn't require a third party custodian."


Geller explains further. "Self directed IRA custodians are unlikely to inform clients the can increase their real estate investment bottom line by switching to a self directed 401K because it's not in the interest of the custodian. The self directed 401K puts the investor in full control of their account, allowing them to maximize earnings from their real estate investment. Anyone wanting to learn the full details of the superior benefits from a self directed 401K, like improved real estate investment yield, should contact FinancialSuccessInstitute.org today.


Geller concludes, "FinancialSuccessInstitute.org is well aware of subscriber's need for crucial information regarding on how to improve their real estate investment rate of return. The study will find the most effective ways to educate readers about these two powerful ways to increase their real estate investment profits. The real estate investment education materials will be released at FinancialSuccessInstitute.org over the coming days and weeks.

Information about improving the real estate investment bottom line is only a small sample of resources available to subscribers.
