Is The Customer Always Right?

Last week, Maritess and I decided it's about time to order the Kitchen Cabinet to be installed at my sister's unit at Berkeley Residences in Katipunan, Quezon City.

We were excited after getting approval from her to go ahead and buy the kitchen cabinet first from a well known supplier of CONDO items that FITS all sorts cabinets, which has an outlet at SM North right under the parking lot at the back of THE BLOCK.

What would you feel if they suddenly change the terms of the quotation saying that if we didn't order the "whole lot" the prices will be increased and that's because they have an internal memo about it?

Exactly. I felt betrayed and the worst thing was the manager insisted she was right because she just told me about it when I clarified the issue. She bang her hand on the table saying she knows what she's saying!

I have been in sales and marketing for a long time. That's not they way to deal with a customer. It would have been better if she admitted her mistake and ask me to reconsider and then go on selling the good feature of their product.

This incident reminds me of the importance of "integrity". We should honor our words (in this case, the quotation) and not blame the customer for our mistakes.

It was good my wife was there to mellow me down. I was ready for war! But then I remember, I was the CUSTOMER. Uhmmm.

Unstoppable,
Jimmy

INVESTING IS EASY, PROFITABLE AND SECURE!

My god-son and buddy, Ace Aguilar, president of ACELAND AND PRIME ASSETS INC. started young. Ace, as many call him, is a student of Robert Kiyusaki. I met him in a seminar hosted by THE COACH: AL HOLLINGSWORTH. Coach Al's very successful seminar, VERTICAL LEAP, was etched in my heart and has been a real blessing to many specially as we impart these teachings and practice to our young people today.

Ace is a REAL ESTATE broker and has built and sold houses. His first project was in Baguio. A two storey, tow unit townhouse built and sold easily through the investments of mostly "young people". This is the first kind of investment where everybody makes money.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lumaxart/2136953043/sizes/m/in/photostream/
Ace is an advocate of FAIR HOUSING. In FAIR HOUSING:
a. There’s transparency.
     e.g. Sub-agents are aware of the commission rate
b. Stakeholders like the clients can participate
    actively rather than be mere end-users.
     e.g. A group of clients such as members of a local
     church can become investors of the project
c. Everything is fair to all concerned.
    e.g. Investors, clients, suppliers and agents

Here's the thing, Aceland is now constructing an Eight (8) unit Townhouse in Antipolo. You see, this project is going to do well because the real estate in that area is booming.  Even as I write this, there are buyers lined up already. The project has started and the buyers made down-payments already.

There's Money in Real Estate

I recently attended Trace Trajano's THINK RICH QUICK SEMINAR. Mind you, this is NOT get rich-quick seminar. This was about making millions selling REAL ESTATE properties using only your "saliva" as capital. It is not just selling real estate properties but selling REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES the smart way!

                                   I am that guy (in glasses) right beside Trace Trajano to his right

So, why am I telling you this? For one, it is proven that doing things the smart way is better than doing things the way you used to do, like traditional. In selling properties, I've seen real estate brokers who have been in the business for many years now but are still searching for that precious millions in income.

So if you're interested, you can look into Trace Trajano's seminar and be one of his millionaires. I did, and I am on my way to becoming a millionaire!

To your great life ahead,

Jimmy

Melbourne, Sydney lead house price gains

January 31, 2011 – 12:01PM

Update Melbourne and Sydney led house price gains across the country in 2010 although the pace of the increase tapered off towards the end of the year, according to a real estate research group.

Among the major cities, Melbourne’s median house prices rose 8.4 per cent in 2010 and 1.1 per cent, seasonally adjusted, in the final three months of the year, to $505,000, RP Data/Rismark said.

Sydney’s house prices rose 6.6 per cent for the year and 0.9 per cent for the quarter to a median level of $525,000, the researcher found.

It's good to know that investments are doing well in Sydney. We can look forward to more investments in properties this year.

Sydney is experiencing a new property growth cycle

About Sydney Property

Sydney is a multicultural city with a population of just over four million and a lifestyle that makes it one of the most desirable cities in which to live. It also has some of the best real estate available anywhere in the world. Sydney’s property market is keenly sought-after by home buyers, investors and developers. It boasts a resilient economy, a stable political environment, abundant natural resources and a highly educated workforce, while a spectacular harbour, stunning surf beaches and breathtaking skyline combine to define the city as a major international destination for those who wish to visit or move/invest here permanently.

The value of Sydney property has traditionally doubled every 7-10 years over the last century. The median price for houses is now $602,250 (as at May 2010), with 25 suburbs commanding a median price in excess of $1 million. Leading economic forecasters, BIS Shrapnel, predicts prices will continue to rise 21% over the next three years and further over the long term.

While the last property boom was in 2003, Sydney is experiencing a new property growth cycle with a situation of continuous under-supply. This is evidenced by rental vacancies which have fallen to a record level of around 1.0%, healthy auction clearance rates and price increases in high demand locations.

The Sydney property market can be divided into nine major zones: Eastern Suburbs and CBD, Northern Beaches, Lower North Shore, Upper North Shore, Northern Districts, Hills District, Inner West, Southern Suburbs and Western Suburbs. Identifying the hot spots of capital growth requires strong market knowledge and analysis. PK Property closely monitors the Sydney market and can advise international clients on areas that are likely to provide significant long term capital growth.

That is why Sydney is a vibrant market for investors, developers and home buyers. So, what are you waiting for?

SYDNEY REAL ESTATE HOT SPOTS

SYDNEY REAL ESTATE HOT SPOTS

“In 2010, residential property in Sydney is viewed as commencing the next upswing of the cycle…read on to find the next Sydney real estate hot spots…” Real estate is hotting up in Sydney with new research revealing the medium house price for houses will rise over the million dollar mark in 2020, the Sunday Telegraph reveals. This means an estimated 625,000 houses across the metropolitan area will have a value of more than $1 million changing the face of Sydney real estate hot spots. Growth areas include Rouse Hill and Kellyville in Sydney’s north-west. Similar growth is expected for Narellan Vale, Abbotsbury, Cecil Hills, Bligh Park, Glen Alpine, Woronora Heights, Wattle Grove and Kellyville Ridge with an expected of price tag of over $1 million in 2020. Sydney real estate hot spots are traditionally growth areas, up and coming suburbs and locations with changing demographics. Premium suburbs within 10 to 12km of the CBD, luxury waterfront and prestige properties and those that have scarcity value are likely to perform well. John McGrath from McGrath Real Estate says his top picks for property investors include suburbs like Dee Why in the northern beaches, Coogee in the eastern suburbs, Erskineville and Surry Hills in the inner city and Lane Cove and Cammeray in the northern suburbs of Sydney. The luxury property market in areas such as Palm Beach who were the hardest hit by the Global Financial Crisis is also set to make a price recovery in 2010. Apartments in areas close to the city, such as Cremorne Point and Balmain, are expected to make strong returns for investors by 2020. A growing migrant population and not nearly enough houses are also driving up house prices in Sydney. The Sydney Metropolitan Strategy says Sydney needs to cater for an extra 1.12 million people in the next 25 years. The positive thing about this news is that we can make good investment by knowing the best buy by looking at the "down swing phase" of the property cycle.
