Nobody in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX

Hello All,

February is a special month with significance touching the secular, romantic, and spiritual realms. First, it is the shortest month of the year. This year’s span is only 28 days. Also, Valentine’s Day was on the 14th of this month. Most of us forget this romantic day until it is upon us a week or two before the the14th; remembering just in time to send candy, roses and cards filled with human expressions of love and devotion to our true loves. We wish all a belated Valentine’s Day.

RE/MAX Metro also had a good month with two new Business Associates Mr Chirag Sethna and Mr Premal Jhaveri joining the team and I wish them all the best for their jour-ney in real estate. This takes our tally to 14 agents. Looking for good like minded people who would like to join us can contact me on 9825577073 or [email protected]

We also had a month where we again did few rental deals and also got good listings which in future should help us get more business. We at RE/MAX Metro are continuously trying to help our clients as best as we can by taking all the responsibility from their shoul-ders and giving them excellent results as according to us “ Clients always want to know that you care for them then only brokerages”. We always go an extra mile to see that they have a smile on their face.

Elections will soon be coming which would surely slow down the market again but still if you are looking to buy something then it’s the right time to go ahead as after elections it is assumed that markets will improve and you will miss the bus.

Hope you enjoy reading this newsletter which we tried to make as informative as we can. Your valuable suggestions are always helpful.Have a great last month of financial year 2013-14.

Vivek Parikh

RE/MAX Named Among Fastest-Growing Franchises Global Leader Only Real Estate Company to Be Ranked

DENVER – Global real estate leader RE/MAX, LLC has been named one of the world’s fastest-growing franchises in Entrepreneur magazine’s Fastest-Growing Franchise Rankings for 2014. RE/MAX ranked 16th overall and is the only real estate company on the list. “It’s no secret why RE/MAX sold so many new franchises,” said Margaret Kelly, RE/MAX CEO. “Our franchisees know that RE/MAX represents opportunity and the freedom to run their business their way with the support and strength of a leading global brand.” Entrepreneur’s “Fastest Growing” list is an off-shoot of the magazine’s annual “Franchise 500,” now in its 35th year. The 100 companies on the list were included based on the number of new franchise units added in the U.S. and Canada from July 2012 to July 2013, as verified by the “Franchise 500.” To be eligible for the 500, the magazine judges companies by quantifiable measures including financial strength and stability, growth rate, size of system, startup costs and financing options. In 2014, RE/MAX was the top ranking real estate company on the 500 list, the 11th time in 15 years that RE/MAX was listed as the top franchisor in the real estate category. During the first three quarters of 2013, RE/MAX sold 454 new franchises throughout its worldwide network, with 166 new franchises sold in the United States. During the same time period, RE/MAX sold 147 new franchises in Europe, 30 in India and 23 in Brazil. There are now RE/MAX offices in more than 90 countries, a presence greater than any competitor. This year, RE/MAX is celebrating its 41st anniversary and continues to be recognized as an industry leader. RE/MAX was named the leading real estate organization in the Franchise Times Top 200 for the fifth consecutive year and was the only real estate company to be included in the Top 50 Franchises for Minorities as compiled by the National Minority Franchising Initiative. Beginning March 3, thousands of RE/MAX Affiliates from around the world will gather at The Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino for the annual RE/MAX R4 convention. They will celebrate the company’s many achievements and 41 years of real estate innovation.

HEALTH SECTION :

Research shows that weight gain is linked to two key as-pects of appetite, namely lower satiety responsiveness and higher food responsive-ness.

An infant’s hearty appetite may appear as a healthy sign, but could signal a predisposition to obesity, scientists have warned. A new research has found that infants with a heartier appetite grew more rapidly up to age 15 months, potentially putting them at increased risk for obesity.

The research linked appetite to more rapid infant growth and to genetic predisposition to obesity. The research investigated how weight gain is linked to two key aspects of appetite, namely lower satiety responsiveness (a reduced urge to eat in response to internal ‘fullness’ signals) and higher food responsiveness (an increased urge to eat in response to the sight or smell of nice food).

The authors used data from non-identical, same-sex twins born in the UK in 2007. Twin pairs were selected that differed in measures of satiety responsiveness (SR) and food responsiveness (FR) at 3 months, and their growth up to age 15 months was compared. Within pairs, the infant who was more food responsive or less satiety responsive grew faster than their co-twin.The more food responsive twin was 654g heavier than their co-twin at six months and 991g heavier at 15 months. The less satiety responsive twin was 637g heavier than their co-twin at six months and 918g heavier at 15 months. “Obesity is a major issue in child health,” said Professor Jane Wardle, lead author of the study from the University College London (UCL) Health Behaviour Research Centre.

“Identifying factors that promote or protect against weight gain could help identify targets for obesity intervention and preven-tion in future. These findings are extremely powerful because we were comparing children of the same age and same sex growing up in the same family in order to reveal the role that appetite plays in infant growth.“It might make life easy to have a baby with a hearty appetite, but as she grows up, parents may need to be alertfor tendencies to be somewhat over-responsive to food cues in the environment, or somewhat unresponsive to fullness. This behaviour could put her at risk of gaining weight faster than is good for her,” Wardle said. The research was published in jour-nal JAMA Pediatrics.

New bill proposes licenses for real estate brokersThe Times of India | February 18, 2014TNN | Noida The UP government has planned to draft a new law to tighten the noose around fraudulent real estate agents so that inter-ests of homebuyers are protected. A senior official in Lucknow said that under the law dealers are required to register them-selves with a local government body and obtain a license for practicing. The UP urban housing department is drafting the bill to regulate property brokers. "Once the draft bill is ready, it will be approved first by the cabinet and then passed by the legislative assembly to make it a law," said an official. With the boom in real estate, especially in areas like Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway, a large number of cases of property fraud and cheating have cropped up. "Usually police do not entertain such cases or have no means to bring the fraudsters to book. The bill will ensure that interests of the common man are protected stringent action is taken against unethical dealers," the official said, adding that while brokers enjoy handsome commissions, with a few big players making crores of Rupees overnight, they hardly take any responsibility of buyers in cheating cases. The draft states, "The district magistrate or any other top official in each district will be appointed as the nodal officer, who will issue licences and address grievance of buyers against erring agents, who, in the absence of any regulatory authority go scot-free in case of cheating or poor services." Realty experts said this decision will bring in more accountability, reliability and transparency for homebuyers. "This deci-sion should have been taken much earlier. Strict implementation of the bill is required in order to make this effort a success," said RK Arora, vice president CREDAI (west UP) and CMD Supertech group. Other developers said brokers play a major role in the real estate sector. "Due to a few unethical brokers, the entire industry suffers. We hope this bill will boost the credibility of the realty sector," said Amit Gupta, MD, Orris Infrastructure and member Assocham.
