Realty Review July-August 2014 From the
Chairmans' Desk
Having attended the annual convention of NAR India in Kolkota as a moderator for a session which had all the panelists speak about their vision for NAR India, I heard almost everybody resonate the very same vision for this industry with which Saloni and I brought RE/MAX into India; the need for professionalizing the Real Estate industry. Having started RE/MAX India over 5 years back, I have seen this industry witness winds of change and a need arise amongst customers for professional Real Estate consultancy. Keeping in line with our vision, the RE/MAX Academy of Real Estate has opened the doors of its tailor made Real Estate training program called Certified Real Estate Specialist training (CREST) to the industry. The biggest differentiating point of this training program is the fact that you don't only learn the ABC of Real Estate but you also get an opportunity to practically learn the ropes of Real Estate by working with Broker Offices. Congratulations to the RE/MAX Agents who have undergone two levels of the training program and we hope to see all of you graduating in these two levels sometime soon, more information can be gathered in the newsletter below. The last two months have seen a lot of action in our regions across the country and we are all hopeful of the Real Estate Industry bouncing back soon. With that positive sentiment and the fact that we can look forward to some positive results in the upcoming festive season, we wish all of you all the very best in selling, recruiting and transacting. Cheers! Sam Chopra

Realty Review July-August 2014 From the
Vice Chairmans' Desk In all our training programs, we give an example of RE/MAX being the gym with all the equipment and trainers available to help you “lose weight” and in our terminology “become successful”, just like a person going to a gym cannot expect the equipment to lose weight for him or her, in the same manner till one doesn't use the tools provided by RE/MAX, one cannot expect RE/MAX to be instrumental in our success. Keeping this in mind, it gives me immense pleasure in congratulating RE/MAX Complete Solutions and Shantnu Malik for optimizing the use of their RE/MAX website for
online marketing, a classic example of “USING” the RE/MAX tools..check out a result of their efforts in our section called “Innovative Marketers & Self Promoters”. RE/MAX as an organization has always believed in giving back to its community and this time around, we are using our newsletter to recognize all the contributions being made by our Affiliates across the country, we just want to thank the ones contributing and would like to say that we are very proud of you. Heartiest congratulations to Anand Choksi, Harish Magon, Sukhjinder Singh, Rajeev Raghav, Sunil Mehta, Ankit Patel, Munish Gupta, Tejas Shah, Parshva Vakharia and Prashant Mehta for making it to the top performers list for the months of July & August. A lot has happened in the network in the last two months, we have tried to capture most of it in our newsletter and we hope it turns out to be a good read. The Regional Owners are coming to Delhi for the 6 monthly Regional Owners Retreat, Sam and I are looking forward to spending some quality time with them in order to see how we can further grow RE/MAX in India. Regards Saloni Chopra
success is a journey not a destination

The regional team also conducted 6o Minutes with RE/MAX in Rohtak & Karnal which ensured that the team met with good prospects for franchise sales and agent recruitment. RE/MAX India is very sure that with such commendable efforts being made the region is definitely on the right track of working towards making RE/MAX a household name in their region.
WHY PARTICIPATE IN FRANCHISE EXPOS AND TRADE SHOWS According to data from the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR), 88 percent of the attendees at a trade show usually haven't been seen by a member of your company's sales staff in the past year, and 70 percent plan to buy one or more products. On average, 76 percent of attendees ask for quotes and 26 percent end up signing purchase orders. Seventy-two percent of visitors say the show itself influences their buying decisions. The positive impact of exhibiting at a trade show isn't confined just to the event, as 87 percent of attendees will pass along some of the information they obtained at the show, and 64 percent will tell at least six other people about it. From a sales perspective, shows can also be highly cost-effective — it costs 22 percent less to contact a potential buyer at a show than through traditional field sales calls.

The six myth understandings between you and success on the Internet 4. Myth: Websites are too expensive. Truth: No, they don't have to be, and besides, they're a great investment.
1. Myth: I'm not a “techie�! Truth: Nor should you be! 2. Myth: I don't need a website. Truth: Yes, you do. You just don't know it yet. 3. Myth: If they need information, they can just call me. Truth: Sure they can, but that's not the point.
G
N STI E R E INT FACT
5. Myth: I can't compete on the Internet. Truth: Yes you can, and it's simpler than you think. 6. Myth: Internet leads aren't good leads. Truth: Every lead is a good lead if you have an effective way to convert it
The images that you share on Facebook are the most engaging content but it works on the 80/20 principle i.e. 80 % of the images or content that you share should be about the customer's interest, your life style and other informative updates and only 20% should be about your business and services that you are offering.
Weekly update on inventory available across the network! In order to work towards achieving our aim of helping you make your “Network your Net worth”(which was also the theme of the last convention), RE/MAX India now shares the New Listings from across the network with all the Affiliates on a weekly basis so that you are up to date on the latest inventory available within the network.
More listings – More Showings – Faster SOLD listings More Satisfied Clients – More Referrals – More Sales MORE MONEY! It all starts from LISTINGS and MORE LISTINGS! So let's work together towards increasing the number of listings and connect with your Regional Administrators to get trained on LISTING. You can also mail directly to Sahil Sharma at ssharma1@remax.in for all your queries regarding the same. Happy Listing!

Harish Magon, you have done us PROUD!
It is with immense pleasure that we would like to share a wonderful testimonial received for Mr. Harish Magon- RE/MAX Complete Solutions, Dwarka for his excellent services provided to a client referred by Mr. Sam Chopra – Chairman, RE/MAX India.
Hello Sam, I just wanted to drop in a note acknowledging the extraordinary assistance and service provided by Mr. Harish Magon toward the purchase of property in Delhi. If you would recall, you had recommended Harish to assist my brotherin-law (Puneet Gulati who lives in US) to purchase a property in Delhi. We worked with Harish for the last two months and I cannot thank him enough for the exemplary service during the property search, purchase, loan process and most importantly toward the closing. He went above and beyond of what was reasonably expected of him and was extremely professional during the entire process. What struck us the most was his offer to assist my brother-inlaw's father during the closing. He is an elderly person who will be living in the house and even after Puneet returned to US, Harish stayed in constant touch with him and made sure that the loan was sanctioned and the purchase process was duly completed to our satisfaction. Many thanks for recommending such an outstanding person. It was a pleasure to work with him.
RE/MAX India would like to congratulate Mr. Harish Magon and their office on receiving this excellent feedback. It is surely a proud moment and we are hoping for many such testimonials for all our RE/MAX Offices and RE/MAX Agents in future.

DDA to launch new housing scheme “We didn't want people to come and queue up at Vikas Sadan and that is why forms will be sold and can be submitted at selected branches of the empanelled banks,” said a senior DDA official.
While the largest chunk of flats are located in Rohini, Narela and Dwarka, many flats are also located in Jasola, Vasant Kunj, Mukherjee Nagar, Kalyan Vihar and Motia Khan.
Though the printing of brochures started a bit late, DDA officials believe it should not pose a problem. “Very few people buy and submit forms in the initial few days and we don't expect any shortage of brochures.
The scheme will be open till October 9. Any Indian citizen, who doesn't own a property in Delhi individually or jointly, is allowed to apply for a flat.
Also, since the scheme would be open for nearly 40 days, most people don't prefer to block the Rone lakh of registration fee for a longer duration”, he said. The largest chunk of the flats — 22,627 out of total 25,034 — are one bedroom units with a drawing room, kitchen and bathroom and located mostly in Dwarka, Rohini and Narela. The price ranges betweenRs. 14-22 lakh for the one bedroom flats, Rs. 41-69 lakh for two bedroom flats and Rs. 69 lakh to Rs. 1.2 crore for three bedroom flats. There are also 700 flats for the Economically Weaker Sections that are priced at Rs.5.87 lakh to Rs. 9.9 lakh.
The draw of lots for the scheme is expected to be held between 25 and 31 October and DDA promises to hand over all flats by March 2015. The draw will be held by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), which had held the draw for DDA's 2010 housing scheme too. The application form has been kept simple this time and applicants don't need to provide any documents along with it. However, it is mandatory for applicants to provide their PAN details.

Check Title Before Buying a Property Food, Clothing & Shelter are considered basic essentials of life and every human being dreams of owning a house/flat in his lifetime. In our country consumers are not adequately aware of the real estate business moreover there is a wide gap between the demand and supply in this sector. Top eight cities, including Delhi / NCR and Mumbai would witness an additional housing demand of 2.8 million units in the next five years, but supply will lag behind due to economic and regulatory issues. "The total new housing demand across India country will be nearly 12 million units in the next five years (2013-17). Identifying a Realtor A realtor can assist in locating and evaluating the right property, providing useful market information and resources, and eventually guiding the buyer through the whole process until the purchase is complete.However real estate consulting firms in India are often not institutionalized, and therefore it is essential that the buyer proceeds cautiously and chooses a broker who is experienced and knowledgeable about the market, transparent and informative through the entire process, and objective while providing information. Budgeting While determining the budget for the purchase of property, there are several expenses besides the purchase price that must also be accounted for, such as: Stamp duty Registration fees Legal fees Brokerage fees Society transfer charges (in buildings with societies) Cost of renovation/improving the property Cost of furnishing the property Future house tax/property tax payments Maintenance fees, whether at actual or in the form of monthly payments to a society. For newly constructed properties, it is also possible that the builder/developer may not be fully transparent at the time of booking with regards to the gross pricing of the property. The gross price should typically be a sum of the base price, external development charges (EDC), infrastructure development charges (IDC), preferential location charges (PLC), car parking charges, club membership if applicable, electricity and water connection charges, maintenance charges service and any other applicable taxes, etc.
While external development charges are levied by the developer on the buyer for developing infrastructure within the complex, infrastructure development charges are levied by the government on the developer and, in turn, passed by the developer on to the buyer. This charge includes development charges for water supply, sewerage, storm water drainage, roads, street lighting, community buildings, horticulture, public health, road maintenance, and street lighting maintenance. Electricity and water connection charges are levied by the developer on the buyer for availing of electricity and water connection on behalf of the buyer. Before buying a property some other precautionary measures that can be taken for example: 1. Check that the concerned developer has obtained the CLU (Commercial land use certificate from the concerned State Government, whether taken Environment clearance certificate from the Government. 2. The purchase / sale agreement should clearly specify the target completion date if there is any delay then delay penalty clause in handing over possession. 3. When buying through a developer check carpet area, built up area and super built up area, payment terms and conditions also check technical specifications of the design and material. 4. Find out whether the property is mortgaged / hypotheticated with the bank or under civil or criminal dispute. 5. Ascertain whether land to be purchased comes under acquisition notification of Government u/s 4 & 6 of land acquisition Act. 6. Verify whether the property is rented or partly sold out. 7. Get a certified copy of every document from the concerned Sub- Registrar office. 8. Ensure that all payments are made Drafts in the name of Vendor against a proper receipt like Sale deed, Agreement to sell etc. 9. Ensure that the design offered is earthquake resistant 10. Verify the ownership title from the developing authority, Municipal Corporation and Sub-Registrar office. 11. Ensure that signature / fingerprints are made on the documents by the Vendor.
