a sales negotiator. The remuneration wasn’t desirable because it was a
commission only arrangement that meant no sale no income. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">A national economy that was nose diving, competition and the
company’s poor marketing conspired to hit hard on my sales. These moments were difficult
because I was just a school leaver without any relevant training. The only
thing I knew best was writing poems a high school passion and my master piece which
was titled <i>Wilderness Wanderer </i>talked
about a beautiful girl in search of true love. But surely how could I write
love poems for prospects? With the passage of time somehow I managed to turn
poem writing to property article writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">My generous friend noticed this new development and the
great marketing potential it had especially when the articles were exposed on
the world wide web as a result my blog <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;"><a href="http://propertymattersnews.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;">Property Matters News</span></a></span></span><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;"> </span> was born in 2012. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">The Results</span><span style="font-size: 20pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The year 2014 was a turning point because I earned Usd 1
000.00 through my new real estate blog. It all started when I wrote an article
titled, <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;"><a href="http://propertymattersnews.blogspot.com/2014/11/financial-consequences-of-purchasing.html"><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;">“ <i>Financial consequences of
purchasing property from a seriously-ill seller and other purchases to avoid </i>”.</span></a></span></span><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;"> </span>The post found resonance
in the heart of a Harare lady who after reading it decided to sell her land in Madokero Harare. The lady had an outstanding
balance on a Msasa house she bought from a seriously ill seller. She decide to urgently
settle the balance after reading the post.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Earning this kind of money is something I have not gotten
over for years imagine Iam still writing about it. You know the difference
money can make – buying some new clothes and other choice items. I have not only preserved the winning formula but it
has also evolved such that I teach and help enterpreneurs in other sectors not
real estate through cost effective generation of leads through digital
platforms. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In March 2020 just before the
first lockdown I taught stem cell distributors affiliated to Phyto Science
Zimbabwe about how they can harness digital marketing. This workshop is what I
call Own Boss Enterpreneurship Workshop.
Real estate however, is where I polished digital marketing and I love
helping estate agents, negotiators, property managers and even conveyancers. Lets
therefore, get started through a general look at both off line and online
(digital) marketing options a real estate player can use to generate leads that
in turn become customers in term of sales, immovable property mandates and
valuation clients. </span></span></p><p><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> </span></span></p><p><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-no-proof: yes;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">Thoroughly beating real estate

mouth marketing happens when another person (e.g satisfied customer) influences
others through word of mouth to buy from you. This person is called a center of
influence. The idea is good because it leverage trust. However, offline word of
mouth marketing is too slow and may not be good enough to help an agency quench
ferocious competition. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">2. Print newspaper classifieds<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This way of
advertising involves placing property adverts in leading print newspapers’
classifieds section. This way of marketing has been used by real estate agents
in Zimbabwe for decades. Success was determined by the fact that the print
newspapers generated a lot of human traffic because print used to be the only
source of information. This is no longer the case because of (1) the rise of
digital media e.g blogs, search engines, social channels and (2) changes in
society as millions of Zimbabweans are now domiciled in the diaspora. It is
common knowledge that the Republic of South Africa alone is home to at least 3
million Zimbabweans. The shift of larger numbers of human traffic from print
media to digital media should advise on best marketing options.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">3. Cold calling <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Basically this involves knocking on doors unannounced
and stating your case. This can work but it has serious problems associated
with the physical space like the Covid 19 restrictions. Other disadvantages
include the fact that its hard for introverts and that its not cost-effective.
If you are to move knocking doors from one end of the CBD to the other it will
cost you lots of energy plus time. This may not be necessary. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">4.

why it is popular with many players because the concept is something people already
knew from somewhere. Credit can be given to online classifieds for helping many
estate agents reach the diaspora. However, their biggest disadvantage is that
they are too basic. For example they do not have a search engine but you have
to scroll page after page in order to find what you want. Though classifieds
can help a real estate agent find buyers of immovable property it doesn’t do
the same for mandates. If it happens its rare.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">5.

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This is outsourcing digital marketing to an expert so
that you focus on what you know best. If you are a father and you tell your
high school going age children that you are good at all subjects you are lying.
Wise parents outsource children’s education by getting a tutor. Real estate
agents’ education offered by the Real Estate Institute of Zimbabwe (REIZ)
doesn’t include digital marketing. Maybe its because digital marketing on its
own require certain talents like creativity that are not necessarily found in
everybody. So you need to outsource this function. Basically, a digital
marketing agent generate easy to close leads for mandates, sales, valuation and
property management on your behalf. Digital marketing saves time by reducing
the number of time wasters through pre-qualification of leads. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">4 Common Digital Marketing Mistakes</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">1. Not marketing your website or blog</span></span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Many believe that once a site is live it will market itself
and visitors will flock to it in their millions. This is fallacious of course.
Why ? Because without real efforts to distribute your site’s content especially
on social media and search engines your site is wasted resource. There are over
1 billion websites on the internet today so what are the chances of someone
stumbling upon yours? </span><b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Sometimes this is caused by the assumption that online
initiatives have overnight results. Yes there are cases of exceptional success
but these are rare at best. If you are wise you don’t base strategy on
exception but on rule . The rule is that online success is built upon hard work
not shortcuts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">A programmer once told me he could improve my blog’s ranking
on Google for certain key words. When I asked him to explain how I discovered
that his methods were what Google Inc call SEO spam or black hat methods that
may involve tricking the search engine into giving you a better search ranking
for certain key words. Google has invested millions for combating SEO spam that
is why they have developed Google Penguin a software dedicated to punishing
websites involved in what it may deem black hat methods. Being penalized by
Google is something difficult to fix. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

niche marketing. A site require the right visitors because at the end you need

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In 2007 a friend called Thando helped me to get employment as
a sales negotiator at an estate agency. The remuneration wasn’t desirable
because it was a commission only arrangement that meant no sale no income. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">A national economy that was nose diving, competition and the
company’s poor marketing conspired to hit hard on my sales. These moments were difficult
because I was just a school leaver without any relevant training. The only
thing I knew best was writing poems a high school passion and my master piece which
was titled <i>Wilderness Wanderer </i>talked
about a beautiful girl in search of true love. Surely I could not write love
poems for prospects but somehow I managed to turn poem writing to property
article writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

prospects who would say this quickly concluded I was one of “those” although
Shungudzevanhu would be a registered agency. By those he meant bogus operators.
The reason why the prospect didn’t know
my agency’s name is usually the fact that the agency was new and still
establishing its brand. But many would equate the fact that they didn’t know
the agency with the outfit being obscure therefore, suspicious because unscrupulous
operators are always obscure. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

will obviously come out guns blazing. Together with the collective force of
small competitors there is a intense scramble for whatever remains in the
property management market. Property management is picked out here because
unlike other traditional sources of real estate revenue like valuation and
sales it provides regular income which becomes a foundation upon which to build
a sustainable business. This therefore, means
once an estate agency fail to get enough property management mandates its
business will eventually go under and like in the game of soccer new comers are
the usual relegation candidates. However, just like in the game of soccer again
some new comers survive.

1 billion websites on the internet today so what are the chances of someone
stumbling upon yours? </span><b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Sometimes this is caused by the assumption that online
initiatives have overnight results. Yes there are cases of exceptional success
but these are rare at best. If you are wise you don’t base strategy on
exception but on rule . The rule is that online success is built upon hard work
not shortcuts. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">A programmer once told me he could improve my blog’s ranking
on Google for certain key words. When I asked him to explain how I discovered
that his methods were what Google Inc call SEO spam or black hat methods that
may involve tricking the search engine into giving you a better search ranking
for certain key words. Google has invested millions for combating SEO spam that
is why they have developed Google Penguin a software dedicated to punishing
websites involved in what it may deem black hat methods. Being penalized by
Google is something difficult to fix. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Many companies (estate agencies included) erroneously
measure a website’s success by the quantity not quality of visitors. For
start-ups, micro, small to medium enterprises (MSMEs) successful marketing is usually
niche marketing. A site require the right visitors because at the end you need
visitors who will convert to customers.</span><b style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 29pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif;

because it was a commission only arrangement that meant no sale no income.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">A national economy that was nose diving, competition and the
company’s poor marketing conspired to hit hard on my sales. These moments were difficult
because I was just a school leaver without any relevant training. The only
thing I knew best was writing poems a high school passion and my master piece was
titled <i>Wilderness Wanderer </i>which talked
about a beautiful girl in search of true love. Surely I could not write love
poems for prospects but somehow I managed to turn poem writing to property
article writing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">

in the heart of a Harare lady who after reading it decided to sell her land in Madokero Harare. The lady had an outstanding
balance on a Msasa house she bought from a seriously ill seller. She decide to urgently
settle the balance after reading the post.A blog demonstrated how digital
marketing can be an answer to the problem of competition. Today as more and
more real estate agencies flood the market digital marketing based solutions
are needed more than ever before.</span></span></p><p><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3yxL0yU4rxgqn2FTf4jxymIjpeZOkjXvTfF2oKQRbsNRn0nh_JNxDz-RzAKR5eSzezmVjZdpNpwa0UnKrYfFWl5fvMxUcGlSlVDaY0reoKga3Yn_5UPZ8kLwSBrOA6lJjiXBpI3Wmkxs/s956/Social+vs+traditional.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="541" data-original-width="956" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3yxL0yU4rxgqn2FTf4jxymIjpeZOkjXvTfF2oKQRbsNRn0nh_JNxDz-RzAKR5eSzezmVjZdpNpwa0UnKrYfFWl5fvMxUcGlSlVDaY0reoKga3Yn_5UPZ8kLwSBrOA6lJjiXBpI3Wmkxs/w640-h362/Social+vs+traditional.png" width="640" /></a></span></div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></span>I will be giving digital marketing options that will help estate

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Size of
affected firms : Individually run real estate agencies > 0 employees <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">These are one
man enterprises usually start-ups in which the business owner is all in one -
the receptionist, sales negotiator and the principal agent. Many of these outfits operate from home or premises
that are not traditional places of business. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The reason
behind this arrangement are costs emanating from things like office space,
salaries and negotiator’s fees required by law. Since work is overbearing upon
one man definitely getting employees is a dream but many real estate proprietors
at this stage faces serious challenges related to raising the needed seed capital.

and friends loved ones would also want to see the proprietor raising own
capital especially through revenue generated. They would be motivated to
support something demonstrating that it has potential to stand on its own. The
pressure to generate revenue from traditional sources of estate agency income
like property management, valuation and property sales would be on from day
one.</span></div><div><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span lang="EN-ZW">But if the fierce competition

Failure to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Size of
affected firms : Micro real estate agencies > 1 – 5 employees <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">These guys
are business people of firsts. For example they are renting premises for the
first time, they have purchased new or second hand office furniture for the
first time, they are employing other people for the first time .... As much as
being the first is great at the Olympics it isn’t necessarily the case for the
micro agencies at this point because all these firsts means new costs therefore,
revenue should proportionally increase in order to match. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">If
competition is strong it can be responsible amongst other things for the
chocking of efforts designed to effect the much needed revenue increase. For
example there has been an increase in in-house property management by property
owners as they tried to save. This means estate agents will scramble for the
little property management opportunities that remains in the market. Eventually
many vulnerable micro outfits will fold. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Property management income is critical since it
is the only one that is almost guaranteed monthly others like commission from
sale proceeds is seasonal. If such income continue to fail coming the business
can begin to incur debts and if this happens it in turn lead to expensive
lawsuits at both the labour and civil courts.</span></div><div><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pdbShyNzdWxK8oqNmnHM8oKF8YXpKc5_0rRBM5ooPlVTvK9ZUZfV2MU8MfR10cpHRyKplgD7jQJCsKc2bHEvRJahBIMEne4hZ0HdqQ-ljktWXpBXfzmE92HMfIdVjz0uTCwRSeVTRtI/s1920/germination-3989959_1920.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="877" data-original-width="1920" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pdbShyNzdWxK8oqNmnHM8oKF8YXpKc5_0rRBM5ooPlVTvK9ZUZfV2MU8MfR10cpHRyKplgD7jQJCsKc2bHEvRJahBIMEne4hZ0HdqQ-ljktWXpBXfzmE92HMfIdVjz0uTCwRSeVTRtI/w640-h292/germination-3989959_1920.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">3.Failure to

affected firms : Small real estate agencies > 6 – 30 employees <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">An estate agency at this stage has demonstrated some clout
for example being able to meet its obligations like salaries of its initial
employees, paying rent, statutory obligations etc and moving to the next level
is its natural progression. Moving to the next level or growth means beginning
to invest into strategic areas like branch network, ITC and better talent. This
will require more money and more revenue. More revenue means sources of income
like management, sales and valuation are giving more income and you are answering
well to whatever the competitors are throwing at you. Unfortunately, the
opposite is true. You should remember that competition at this stage is more serious
because if you are to get more revenue that will mean displacing stronger
brands and that wont be easy. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Getting a loan will not eliminate the need for standing up
to the competition either. Remember after borrowing there should be more
revenue in order to ensure that the loan can be serviced after paying expenses.

Not marketing your website or blog</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">Many believe that once a site is live it will market itself
and visitors will flock to it in their millions. This is fallacious of course.
Why ? Because without real efforts to distribute your site’s content especially
on social media and search engines your site is wasted resource. There are over
1 billion websites on the internet today so what are the chances of someone
stumbling upon yours? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large; line-height: 107%;">2. Having unrealistic expectations<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">Sometimes this is caused by the assumption that online
initiatives have overnight results. Yes there are cases of exceptional success
but these are rare at best. If you are wise you don’t base strategy on
exception but on rule . The rule is that online success is built upon hard work
not shortcuts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large; line-height: 107%;">3. Engaging in shady practices<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">A programmer once told me he could improve my blog’s ranking
on Google for certain key words. When I asked him to explain how I discovered
that his methods were what Google Inc call SEO spam or black hat methods that
may involve tricking the search engine into giving you a better search ranking
for certain key words. Google has invested millions for combating SEO spam that
is why they have developed Google Penguin a software dedicated to punishing
websites involved in what it may deem black hat methods. Being penalized by
Google is something difficult to fix. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

medium enterprises (MSMEs) successful marketing is usually niche marketing. A

<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2007 a friend called Thando helped me to get employment as
an estate agent. The remuneration wasn’t desirable because it was a commission
only arrangement that meant no sale no income. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A Zimbabwean economy that was nose diving and the company’s poor
marketing conspired to hit hard on my sales. In these difficult moments without
any relevant training whatsoever but being a mere school leaver I sought an
answer in what I knew best from high school – writing. Writing specifically poems
was a passion of mine, my master piece titled <i>Wilderness Wanderer </i>was about a beautiful girl in search of true
love. So my career as a copy writer begun through the creation of e-books. I
built a recipients or mailing Iist by asking any acquaintance I met on the
street if they would like to sign in. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thando was again to become my knight in shining armor in
2012 when he helped me to create a blog which I called <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;"><a href="http://propertymattersnews.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;">Property Matters News</span></a></span></span><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;">
</span>. I was excited so I stopped the e-books and started blogging. Despite
the right tools my campaigns were not properly done in accordance with the <i>5 key features of profitable online
marketing for Property Players.</i> For example the mailing list was supposed
to be pre-qualified because selling to everyone is a common online marketing
mistake I would latter learn of . I have also explained it in this e-book under
the <i>4 common online marketing mistakes.</i>
Nevertheless, my efforts begun giving results albeit sporadically. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The year 2014 was a turning point because I earned Usd 1
000.00 through my new real estate blog. It all started when I wrote a blog
article titled, <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;"><a href="http://propertymattersnews.blogspot.com/2014/11/financial-consequences-of-purchasing.html"><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;">“ <i>Financial consequences of
purchasing property from a seriously-ill seller and other purchases to avoid </i>”.</span></a></span></span><span style="color: #ed7d31; mso-themecolor: accent2;"> </span>Before long the blog post
found resonance in the heart of a Harare lady who after reading it decided to
sell her land in Madokero Harare through
me in order to pay off an outstanding balance of a house bought from a
seriously-ill seller. The biggest thing I noted was that a blog is strong in
lead generation. I also begun to seek solutions for the flaws and I would immediately
implement what I learnt. Today I will be
sharing the final product of this experience titled <i>5 key features of profitable online marketing for property players:

you have years paying bills with money earned from traditional methods? If you
are to make a comparison between social media marketing and traditional
marketing one can conclude that a business that rely only on traditional approaches
like brochures, print newspapers, bill boards, cold calling, business cards etc
to generate leads is on its way to extinction like the Dodo. Why? Because the
consumer, the sales funnel, the buyer journey, the sales process or you name
them have been changed by social networks.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">With persisting economic problems we are having today
many landlords are looking for better ways of making the most out of their life
long investments – real estate. In Zimbabwe the banning of forex as legal
tender has made circumstances more difficult considering that the tenant is heavily
protected by the rent board. Converting a house into a bed and breakfast (abbreviated BnB) service
is a panacea for these problems as it has been for many of the landlords across
the world. Here are important tips for those who are interested in going along
the bed and breakfast route. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The house</span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The right property is the one that appeals to the
needs of guests. Real estate principles dictates that each property is unique
in its own way therefore, offers a different experience. Market your property according to its
outstanding selling points. However, despite the differences a BnB owner must
ensure that general issues important to all properties must be given attention
too. Some of these are aesthetics and security at the individual property and
the greater neighborhood </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Getting customers or guests</span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the biggest challenges pertains to where and
how to get customers or guests.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Where ? I do not advise adverts in main stream media
when starting because the associated high costs may make the business unsustainable
in the medium to long term. For my new B n B listing agency I use social platforms
because they allow start ups to use sustainable methods like content marketing
and social prospecting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">How ? One of the problems that confront new businesses
is a lack in sales skills that enable them to convert a prospect to a paying
customer. These abilities are what they call the sales process and today they
are enhanced by social media. Its important that a B n B owner knows the
selling process or get involve someone who does. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Cross selling</span></span></h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cross selling allows you to unlock more value
out of your B n B operations by selling related products and services. This
technic makes B n B more lucrative because one will not earn income only
from the primary charges but also for selling additional things like shuttle
services, lunch, supper etc. Cross selling is successful because it builds upon
the trust that the host would have initially created.</span></span><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span><br />

all else fail residential use will stand for you. Here are some of its
advantages.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">a. Regularity
of income is guaranteed because tenants make monthly rent payment a top
priority.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">b. Payments
are prepaid and this makes it easy to mitigate associated risk like defaults
and physical damage. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">2. Commercial
use</span></span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Under commercial
use we are talking about a building like a shop. The advantage that a shop has
over residential property is branding
whose firm can go beyond the building’s geographical boundaries.
Machipisa in Highfields, Makobva in Glen View and Makoni in Chitungwiza are examples
of great brands. These have been so great such that they have outlived the
shops. A cardinal rule says property value is limited by location but well
managed property brands can break the rules. A great name leads to higher rent
and capital value because investors will feel that having their businesses
associated with a good name is a wonderful marketing opportunity. After all it
is the Bible that says a good name is more precious than jewels.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<h3>
<b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">3. Bread and
breakfast services</span></span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Abbreviated
as BnB this is when a land lord offers space in a furnished house ranging from
a single room to a full house. This use is more of hospitality and tourism as
the target market basically comprises local and international travellers. Many
tourists the world over prefer homely accommodation that enables them to
experience the culture of locals as opposed to standard hotel services. Furthermore, in a fast paced
world many local people enjoy week end breaks for unwinding in a home away from
home environment and the BnB service is more ideal for this. There is a lot of support
about how to have your house as a BnB so properly managed this can be a good earner
of foreign currency.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;">A coworking space is a facility that helps micro
and small enterprises grow by offering shared strategic space, internet and
other important things. This way costs are reduced and becomes affordable to
individual businesses. People are emotionally tied to those who help them earn
a living. The sustainability of a coworking space rides on this valuable
connection. Furthermore, the coworking space can cross sell related services
and products that are needed by small businesses and human beings in general.
These ranges from document printing services to fast food outlets. The
coworking space owner will not necessarily have to offer the services himself
but he can enter into partnerships with subject matter experts who can supply
these in a better way. </span></span></span>Cain Ndhlovuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17236051319989910630noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948280955175096276.post-80151147594319939262019-09-18T02:06:00.000-07:002019-09-18T02:06:13.212-07:003 tips on how to increase sales of real estate !<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As the economy struggles many estate agents find it difficult to sale. However, an agent with better selling skills find the going better than the one with poor ones. Though the tips offered in this article are not everything they are helpful and worthwhile. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">1. Aggression</span></b></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Aggression in selling is when you go out to look for sellers of real estate rather than wait for them to come to you. Many agents advertise for mandates and wait for people to call rather than going outing there prospecting. Prospecting is looking for business opportunities mostly by working on centers of influence or people who know you well.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>2. Pre-qualifying</b></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The biggest benefit of pre-qualifying is boosting a sales person’s confidence. Pre-qualifying is all about separating the chaff from the wheat by deciding which prospects are worthy a demo or presentation visit. Indeed, there are prospects you should not waste your time on!</span><br />
<h3>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">3. Going for a listing presentation</span></b></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Many people can question if paying agent commission is worthy it. This question is answered by going for a listing presentation in which an agent addresses all of the prospect’s queries. Prospects doubting if its worthy paying agents commission can be persuaded to give business because value is a matter of belief. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">According
to Zimbabwean police property fraudsters steal thousands of dollars from unsuspecting
real estate investors in a year but gone are the days you should be losing your
money this way. You can get unimaginable benefits from a website that promote
real estate although this depends on whether or not you are using a website designed
with the customer’s needs in mind. This article will therefore, use features of
a smart property search site called Propertyend as a case study in discussing about
some wonderful benefits that you should expect to see in a property marketing
site in order to get real value out of your experience.</span></span><br />

Property
fraud mitigation</span></b></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you are
one of the victims in 20 property fraud cases reported to the ZRP in Bulawayo between
August and September 2015 alone you would love to have known this earlier. Like
many other victims you will agree with me that your misfortune started when a
property was promoted on some website or other media. So common sense will tell
you that the best way forward is to nip property fraud in the bud by ensuring
that the information reaching users is safe. Due diligence is an involving
affair but because of a true belief in the essence of value added service (VAS)
Propertyend
partly carry this burden on behalf of its users.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">2. Being
informed about relevant new arrivals</span></b></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">One
negative aspect of searching for a property using print media is that of buying
a newspaper and failing to find the desired property in that particular issue. But even on online platforms its not always
given that you will get the desired property when you search for one. Nevertheless,
Propertyend
can inform you about the availability of properties that matches your request
after you have left the platform. Your time spend on the platform is never in
vain. At the time of your search you may leave without the desired property but
the site will send you alerts of relevant new arrivals so that you are always
ahead of the competition. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">3. Property search
capabilities</span></span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gone are
the days of searching for property by perusing pages as if you are searching it
in a hard copy book. A website worth its salt must give its users a real
digital experience anything less is a waste of one’s valuable time. One digital capability that should be
prominent on sites that promote property is search. On Propertyend the search feature
does the donkey work for a user by providing several answers that matches that user’s
request. For example if a prospective buyer types in the description of the
property he wants in terms of location, price, size etc the site will present
several properties that matches this criteria within the shortest period
possible. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>4. Videos</b></span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Your site
of choice should also be able to show you properties for sale and rent through
videos or moving pictures. One may wonder why this is important. Due to its
experience with real estate investors across Africa Propertyend has also learnt that
the former want to pre-qualify property before purchase. Pre-qualifying is all
about deciding whether or not going for physical viewing of a particular
property is really worth it. Property investors will not necessarily like all
properties presented to them on search results so a video help investors to
effectively pre-qualify. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">5. Social
media buttons</span></span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The site
you choose should have social media buttons that enables you to easily share its
content with other decision makers like a spouse or business partners for
timeously. In real estate investing timeous and judicious decision making is
important yet this can be difficult to achieve in a group of people individually
located in different locations. As a brand that is also present on social media
Propertyend
has noticed first hand that because of its size and degree of engagement amongst
its members social media offers the best convenience for sharing information. </span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
<b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">6. Free

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In this
digital era you do not necessarily need to pay for everything because
somethings are now for free. Free advice usually in the form of articles like
this one is an example of free things now available on the internet. Having
some understanding of what is going on is important to you as a real estate
investor irrespective of the fact that you depend on qualified experts to do
certain things for you. Risk mitigation in real estate for example is an area
that you should know for yourself. There are some things that you can do wrong
at the start like buying an overpriced property that can precipitate your
vulnerability to certain types of associated risk in the future. So over and
above cool benefits that you can enjoy on the site Propertyend also make an effort
to ensure that important advice is also furnished for you. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Water is
important to life. We usually see the importance of something or someone when
the person or thing is gone. I see the importance of water every time its gone
during municipality rationing programs. When water is gone its irreplaceable
because it has no substitute! The fact that water is critical to life makes it
one of the determinants of property value. Here is how.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Fresh water</b></span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">History
tells us that there is no meaningful human settlement that can be established
and thrive without a reliable supply of drinking water. During the days of the
Roman empire there were <i>aqua-ducts</i> which
were underground pipes that carried water from far away sources to major cities.
In less advanced places people had to dig wells. So in a sense the influence of
water on real estate is merely a natural progression from history. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Sewer</span></b></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It will be
a case of gross irresponsibility for a planning authority not to ensure that
before occupation of any settlement arrangements for handling human waste are
in place and are of the required standard. Precious human life is at risk if
oversight is poor in this area and the cases of cholera that ravaged the
country in recent times are testimony to this. Fresh water is at the centre of
a healthy settlement and successful waste management for at least two reasons
as follows;</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i. After
flushing water becomes a scrubbing brush that removes the residue in the toilet
chamber.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">ii. It then becomes the carrier that transport
the residue through the pipes to the designated management facility or sceptic
tank.</span></span><br />
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Property
value</span></b></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In light of
the explanations given above water and sewer are major selling points in the
property market whilst the opposite is true. This means a property without
these two elements will lose value and the
loss in value will be due to at least two major reasons. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Firstly,
home seekers will never be attracted by a place that guarantee a life of
struggle due to the absence of sewer and fresh water.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="line-height: 107%;"> Secondly,
investors are not happy with real estate investments without title deeds. According
to relevant laws local planning authorities do not give approval for a
development that fail to meet the minimum requirements like successful
installation of water reticulation and without this approval the deeds office
cant facilitate title deeds. </span></span></span>Cain Ndhlovuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17236051319989910630noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948280955175096276.post-80981098072788841472018-05-08T05:28:00.001-07:002019-04-26T01:55:42.838-07:003 secrets behind cheaper stands for sale, possible dangers and tips on risk prevention.<b><span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">By Cain Ndhlovu</span></b><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">One of the secrets behind the low prices for some
stands is a situation known as foreclosure. This primarily involves actions
that are taken by a mortgage lender in which it sells immovable property as a way
of recovering debt after the borrower defaults on his repayments. What makes
stands being sold under foreclosure cheaper is a lack of the motivation to sale
at a price higher than the amount to be recovered. Generally mortgage lenders
gives loans that are less than the open market value. The lender simply want this
money back and does not have the patience to wait forever anticipating higher
offers. Once an offer that clears the debt is secured then it’s a done deal!
This is the opportunity buyers with tight budgets would be waiting for. But
before nose diving into this opening its wise to consider some possible dangers
and useful tips on how to mitigate them.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">Owners are
against the selling of their properties by a bank after failure to service a
housing loan. As a result they frustrate prospective buyers such that some
individuals end up purchasing without thorough due diligence yet in an
agreement of sale they are made to agree
to the fact that they have acquainted themselves with the property.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">Being implicated in money laundering is one of
the risks associated with hunting for stands being sold under foreclosure. Why
? Money laundering scums can conveniently be disguised as sales of real estate
under foreclosure because money laundering transactions are also time sensitive
as criminals would want to quickly finish before they are noticed by
authorities. Money laundering refers to purchases of assets like real estate
using proceeds of crime with a view to conceal origins of dirty money. Offences
also include selling such assets. According to the Money Laundering and
Proceeds of Crime Act a person who suspected or knew that he purchased these
assets is considered as an offender. Penalties include a punitive US$ 500
000.00 and 25years of imprisonment. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">If you are in a jurisdiction with poor regulation
and high corruption you should be on high alert. According to the RBZ money laundering is a
serious crime in Zimbabwe. On 24 April 2017
The Herald claimed that the Bank Use Promotion and Suppression of Money
Laundering Unit of the RBZ received reports about 471 suspicious cases in the
second half of 2016 alone. At the beginning of 2018 the RBZ also released a
list of entities and individuals who are suspected of externalizing funds. This
therefore, is proof that Zimbabwe is a jurisdiction in which one should be careful
when transacting real estate business. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

sellers are too young to have managed the purchase of valuable land. There are
other sellers who have businesses or employment not good enough to justify how

the owner is unable to meet relevant costs is the second secret behind some
cheaper stands. These subdivisions are usually in built up areas. Under these circumstances the owner is unable to put
developer’s profit because responsibility for major developments would have
transferred into the hands of the buyer. Even if he is to charge profit, it
should be negligible.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">As the need for residential stands rose with
increase in the population countless housing cooperatives have mushroomed on
the urban landscape. The chaos bogus ones commonly called land barons caused to
date has dominated the headlines more often than positive contributions made by
genuine players. Since joining an already existing cooperative is preferred the most by many
home seekers it is important to know what distinguishes genuine ones. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

would have been reserved for other uses not residential by the local authority.
As a result many individuals have lost property to housing demolitions as

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">It is important to verify the genuineness of cooperatives
as many have lost hard earned money to criminals. Criminals find loopholes in
the governance system which does not have a one stop shop like the Deeds Office
where people can verify all documents about housing cooperatives. Housing
cooperatives emerged not by design but as an afterthought that was the most
viable option to fill in the gap that was left
by disappearing companies which the government used as conduits for
delivering housing before and after independence. This is the reason why there
is no order in as far as verification of their genuineness is concerned. There are no standard security features unlike
those on title deeds that one can look for on whatever authenticate that a
cooperative is bona fide but one has to figure out things for himself.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">So that being the case I guess we should start by
defining what we mean by a genuine cooperative.
A genuine housing cooperative must be a legally registered entity with
an agreement of some sort between itself and the local authority which allocate
a piece of land for subdivision of residential stands. In my experience the
best place to go where one can verify the genuineness of a housing cooperative
using this definition is the City of Harare housing department at Rememberance
in Mbare. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">With the emergence of housing cooperatives the City of
Harare has done well by devoting an office at
Rememberance Drive Mbare that deals only with
those legally registered cooperatives they would have allocated land for stands
anywhere in the capital. If there is a housing cooperative you would want to
join this office can help because all entities that the authority allocated
land to anywhere in Harare must be found
in the city council database. If council officers cannot find the cooperative
in their database its wise to let go. Better be safe than sorry! I tried other
methods of verification but I have been frustrated by a number of things and
all of them pointed to the fact that there is no order yet in this sector. I
believe the Rememberance Drive avenue is the best for now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Verifying
whether or not a seller’s title deeds are genuine is the first line of defense
against property fraud in Zimbabwe. Failure or reluctance to verify can result
in individual loss of thousands of dollars to criminals. Criminals take title
deeds as a document of primary focus in their activities because it is central to
most real estate sales in which millions change hands. This article therefore,
presents three property fraud prevention steps to be taken by an aspiring
property owner before he parts with hard earned cash.</span><br />

individual whilst the later refers to another type that is for a property that was
transferred from the State. A lawyer called a conveyancer is needed for
preparing a Deed of Transfer and a secretary of lands is the one responsible
for executing the creation of the Deed of Grant.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A person posing as a seller of property must have
legal authority to do so and this is legitimacy. A legitimate seller is a
positively identified person who is stated as the transferee in the title deed
or such positively identified person who is given the right to sale a specific
property through relevant documents like a special power of attorney and letter
of administration. These documents that are meant to identify sellers who are
representatives must do so without ambiguity. Common documents critical for
positive identification are national ID card and a valid passport. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here are some types of sellers;</span></div>

Verification of transferability</span></u></b></h3>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The word “transfer” is probably the single most common
word in any talk about title deeds and property purchase. This can be so
because the success of selling or buying property is solely hinged upon the
legal ability of property ownership changing hands a characteristic commonly
known as transferability. Some properties are readily transferable whilst
others are not easily transferable and others are not transferrable at all. There
are various circumstances that affect interests in property and the Registrar
of Deeds indicate this through relevant endorsements </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">on the title deeds. For example if its already
sold the deeds will be endorsed by the words TRANSFERRED.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">Through a process commonly known as deeds search a
serious buyer should verify title deeds transferability at the Deeds Office. In
Harare these offices are located at corner Nelson Mandela and Angwa streets. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It defeats the wisdom of due diligence to
conclude that all is well because a seller furnishes a seemingly clean copy of
deeds.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">As stated earlier there are circumstances that affect
interests in property. Its possible that there are other people like debtors
e.g mortgage financiers who can have a legal right to have a say in matters of
a property’s ownership in addition to the transferee(s).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A buyer must know who are these<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>people before parting with hard earned cash.
Here<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are some of the different<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>situations through<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>which these other interests can have a say in
the property’s ownership and are expressed by title deed endorsements.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">When a property is transferred this simply means its
already sold<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to someone else. So the
message to you simply is “please look for another property to buy.” There is no
transferability here because the property is transferred already!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">This is a situation in which a property is bonded by a
mortgage bond because the seller at some point used it as collateral security.
This property is transferable on condition that with corporation from the bank
involved the bond is first lifted. Usually, the debt is cleared by part of the
proceeds of sale.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZW;">This is a situation in which a person is given a right
to property that is limited to use and does not include selling. This right is usually for as
long as the person lives and comes as an inheritance. In order to facilitate
transferability under these circumstances one of the best methods to use is that
the </span><span style="background: white; color: black;">beneficiaries
must be engaged in order to give consent to the lifting of this caveat in
return for a share of sale proceeds.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.85px;">because proceeds from crime that perpetrators would want to “clean” are
usually in the form of large amounts of cash. Real estate sellers can be found
guilty of money laundering if they knew or suspected that the money paid by a
buyer was “proceeds of crime” at the time of receipt according to the Money
Laundering And Proceeds of Crime Act. On 12 January 2014 The Sunday Mail
reported that President Mugabe invoked the Presidential Powers ( Temporary
Measures) through Statutory Instrument 2 of 2014 and increased “penalties for
serious offenders from US$600 to a punitive US500 000 ” - the penalties may
include imprisonment of up to 25 years. </span><br />

<h3>
<b><span lang="EN-ZW">Money laundering a serious problem in Zimbabwe!</span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">The word
“laundering” means cleaning or washing, so money laundering refers to efforts
of cleaning proceeds of crime usually called “dirty money ” in order to conceal
its origins from the detection of law enforcement. According to Wikipedia “
Money obtained from certain crimes such as extortion, insider trading, drug
trafficking, and illegal gambling is “dirty” and needs to be cleaned to appear
to have been derived from legal activities so that banks and other financial
institutions will deal with it without suspicion.” In Zimbabwe this crime is
serious because according to the RBZ’s Bank Use Promotion and Suppression of
Money Laundering Unit 471 suspicious cases have been reported in the second
half of 2016 alone and the authorities expressed concern over the none
compliance of other responsible players like estate agents, The Herald reported
on 24 April 2017. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<b><span lang="EN-ZW">Real estate money laundering risk factors or
red flags.</span></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span lang="EN-ZW">Geographic location</span></i><span lang="EN-ZW">. This involves selling property in a
jurisdiction with poor regulation and high corruption so sellers should be
extra alert of money laundering. The institution of an ultimatum for returning externalized
funds by the head of state President Mnangagwa and reports like the one given
above are evidence good enough to show that our country qualify
to be considered under the geographic location red flag. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span lang="EN-ZW">The customer</span></i><span lang="EN-ZW">. This involves unusual titling of property
under third parties and the use of legal entities like shelve companies that
obscure the identity of who owns or control them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span lang="EN-ZW">The transaction</span></i><span lang="EN-ZW">. This involves many other things but the most
common is when the buyer brings hard cash for payment of property. In Zimbabwe
this was very common during the “ngoda” (diamond) rush of 2006. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<b><span lang="EN-ZW">Real estate money laundering risk mitigation

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><i>Customer
due diligence. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">As a seller
or selling agent of property you should know your customer by doing some kind
of due diligence that involves knowledge of the customer’s business and
circumstance. At a stage of first contact like property viewing its usually
best to be asking such questions. This of course is in addition to the
furnishing of national identity information from such documents like passports,
ID, driver’s license etc. Take measures to verify identity of owners where
legal entities like a company are involved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">I guess
there isn’t a better approach to mitigate against the money laundering pitfall
than for oneself to start with a thorough study of the Money Laundering And
Proceeds of Crime Act . The few solutions proffered by the author of this
article cannot in any way be comprehensive enough to cover diverse
circumstances readers face. Readers are intelligent enough to read this piece
of legislation and thereafter craft appropriate solutions that suit them. I therefore, strongly recommend that you
study the Act on your own. For a free PDF copy please send your email and

Myths about life lead many people to fear and wrong decisions. Until Galileo Galilei boldly stood for the fact that the earth was spherical the entire world was deceived by the myth that the earth was flat. People lost the opportunity of discovering new possibilities through travelling as they feared that continued sailing on the oceans would lead to falling into a precipices at the edge of the flat earth. Likewise many Zimbabweans lose the opportunity of real estate investing today because of flawed decisions due to a myth I also grew up hearing that people are prohibited to own more than one property. Like Galileo Galilei I would like to clear this confusion through this article aptly titled <i>Differentiating Housing From Real Estate. </i><br />

Housing involves government policy specifically aimed at the provision of accommodation to the general public. On another hand real estate involves private sector actions to finance, develop, own, manage and sale immovable property for profit. Because housing is meant to alleviate the problem of accommodation multiple ownership of property is strictly prohibited as a measure to ensure fairness. This is were the idea that people are prohibited to own more than one property emanates but it does not involve real estate. In real estate the number of properties a person can own is not limited because the market is an open one. Your only limit is your pocket! Here are some major differences between housing and real estate to take note of.<br />
<h3>
1. Type of developer </h3>
Under housing the developer which is the owner of the project responsible with all aspects of the endeavour is the government local or central. Usually the offices that handle sales are the Department of Housing and for Harare Municipality these offices are located at Rememberance Drive in Mbare. In real estate private owners of land individual or corporate are the developers and involves various real estate specialists to help them which usually include estate agents, conveyancers, and land surveyors. <br />
<h3>
2. Target market </h3>
Housing usually target low income earners in high densities who doesn’t have disposable incomes good enough to compete in the open market. In the 1990s the Harare Municipality entered into agreements with financiers like the then Founders Building Society so that it provided loans at concessionary rates. Real estate is mainly dominated by high income earners who after regular expenses like bills still can save enough to qualify for housing loans that are provided at open market rates. <br />
<h3>
3. Nature of payments </h3>
The nature of payments in real estate appear to be steep, in many cases a buyer is expected to pay so much in a short space of time. For example it is a common market practise that a purchaser of say a $40 000.00 property would pay 60% deposit upon signing and balance in three months. Very few people are able to meet this condition. But the advantage of steep payment terms is reflected on the quality of property one acquires which is usually good in terms of selling points like title deeds availability and level of finishing of the development. Under housing payment terms are generally compassionate as small bits of instalments are spread over years. This however, comes with a sting in the tail as it results in poorly done housing developments. Poorly done developments are usually evidenced by malfunctioning water and sewer reticulation systems installed through a shoe string budget as project managers make do with what is there.<br />

Many buyers of immovable property are not aware of the things they should look for when they intend to invest into real estate. As a result most people are defrauded as con men take advantage of such loop holes. In this article therefore, we will look at areas that a potential investor should look at and go a step further by explaining why these areas deserve attention. Explaining why attention should be given in the areas mentioned will also help a regular investor together with the novice because some people ignore certain things in property investing due to a lack of awareness about their importance. So I believe this article will be an eye opener to both veteran and newcomer in the real estate investing business.<br />

<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Proof of ownership </h3>
This is evidence in the form of original documents that the person selling a piece of property is indeed the legal owner of the property. An original ID of the owner should be furnished and its details should be the same with those of the person designated as buyer or transferee in the document that can be an agreement of sale or title deeds respectively. When doing such due diligence visiting the deeds office or the property developer (this depends with whether its title deeds or an agreement of sale) is indispensable. At this juncture enlisting professional assistance is also indispensable because there are some endorsements like caveats whose significance may not be deciphered by a layman’s mind yet they are important to know.<br />
<br />
<i>Why this is important? Avoiding fraudulent sale.</i><br />
Fraudulent sale is one of the risks a property investor faces. There is no dispute that this issue exists so investors should be wary of it. The best way to mitigate against a fraudulent sale is thorough due diligence on proof of ownership as given above.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Structural integrity </h3>
This refers to whether or not a piece of property is in a physical state good enough to provide for the needs for which it was constructed without becoming a danger to the occupants. Although it’s a long one real estate has a life span so it is important to check this out during due diligence because its one factor critical in determining structural integrity. This helps you to ascertain whether or not a building is a demolition candidate.<br />
<br />
<i>Why this is important? Building component failure. </i><br />
The physical state of property directly affect its rent and value. If you are to letter discover that an investment you have purchased has serious cracks it can be difficult to secure good buyers or tenants as people fear the property can possibly collapse upon their workers, loved ones and possessions. This constitute a type of risk which investors can mitigate against through thorough inspection of the property’s physical state before purchase.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Survey diagram </h3>
This is proof that a piece of land, its dimensions and boundaries are legitimate and indeed exist. Before purchasing a piece of land its important to secure a survey diagram from the Surveyor General. Just think about it that the entire transaction is based upon the belief that the property exists according to how it is described in relevant documents therefore, it is of uttermost importance to check out if it really exist.<br />
<br />
<i>Why its important? Adverse possession </i><br />
With the rise of property fraud in Zimbabwe many brand new houses are being demolished as they fall under the category of illegal structure because they where constructed on other people’s land. It is unfortunate for an individual to find oneself in this situation after years of saving hard earned cash. So going for what is known as search of survey diagram at the relevant government department is critical before one purchases land.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Price </h3>
The price of real estate is the amount of money the market is willing to pay at a particular point in time. Experts call it the open market value. So this means that the price of real estate is that price which is determined by forces of supply and demand not what a seller wants. During valuation in order to determine the price a property is compared only to similar properties within its vicinity. Comparing property to another in a different neighbourhood is tantamount to comparing an apple to a banana. It does not work that way!<br />
<br />
<i>Why its important? Overpayment at purchase. </i><br />
If you purchase property without knowledge of the open market value one is likely to over pay. For investors overpayment reduces or destroy completely their return on investment. Some believe in flipping and this will not work if you over pay at purchase because you may be unable to get a profit in the event that you sell .<br />

Patrick
Chinamasa Zimbabwe’s finance minister last week presented a budget that can successfully
turn around the country’s economy. This brings hope to millions of Zimbabweans
resident in the country and those scattered in the diaspora who have been
experiencing hardships for a long time since the infamous black Friday of 1997.
Positively commenting on the budget
various economic analyst from industry organisations like CZI, ZNCC, ZCMA, CCZ,
OEAZ, ZCFU etc said the budget’s masterstrokes were serious measures to cut
government expenditure and the revision of the Indigenisation Act so that the
51:49 threshold would only apply to diamond and platinum sectors an independent
weekly The Standard reported on Sunday 10 December 2017. There is no doubt that the possibility is now
there that investors can come into the country and increase the much needed
FDI. As a result property investors also will soon become liquid and property dreams
will become reality. This therefore, should bring us to talk about one of the serious
problems that property investors usually face in the property market and my
various proposals about how can this be resolved.</div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Selling your house is a process about which DIY (do it yourself) doesn’t work. Many people tend to prefer the DIY way when doing various things in their lives. Probably, this is the reason why some manufacturers sell refrigerators with some parts like handles not installed but having some kind of inlets for the consumers to do it themselves. There can be many reasons why people prefer DIY. These ranges from the contentment that comes after one successfully achieves a personal task to the possibility of saving the hard earned money. Selling your house however, is something that you cannot achieve the DIY way because you compulsorily need help from other people who have trained to give special service to the complex process of selling immovable property. There are many reasons why this is so but here I will give three. <a href="https://propertymattersnews.blogspot.com/2017/11/selling-your-house-three-reasons-why.html">More ...</a></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">You see people
who get lump sums of cash or loan offers from a bank which are great opportunities
to buy immovable property suddenly find themselves engaged in a lot of work in
order to locate the right kind of a house, flat, piece of land, building,
factory etc. This happens because finding the right real estate is made
difficult by the fact that property prices varies greatly from area to area and
cannot be compared to each other. But to the prospective buyer time will be
running out because some windows of opportunities like a bank loan closes
whilst cash has a temptation of being used for other things. Indeed, time is of
essence to many prospects - the sooner they secure a property to buy the
better. To this end this article will give you critical information about where
and how exactly can one find or source properties that are for sale in Zimbabwe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span><span lang="EN-ZW">1.WHERE ?
PUBLIC AUCTION OF PROPERTIES UNDER FORECLOSURE </span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">This is the
sale of immovable property due to failure by a mortgagee to service his or her
loan. Generally, property is considered to be under foreclosure when the
mortgagee fails to service the loan for a period of three months. The biggest
advantage of these kinds of properties is that the bank or financier is not
motivated to sale more than what was borrowed and direct costs incurred. Banks
in Zimbabwe usually lend between 75% and 80% of the open market value. So you
can get a bargain here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span><span lang="EN-ZW">HOW ?
AUCTIONEERS AND ESTATE AGENTS</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">Auctioneers.
This will probably be the first place to find properties under foreclosure. You
can regularly check with established auctioneers for such opportunities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">Estate
agents. Some borrowers facing the possibility of defaulting on their loan
payments prefers to engage the estate agent themselves so that the house can possibly
be sold at a value higher than that the bank will get through auctions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span><span lang="EN-ZW">2. WHERE ? REAL
ESTATE AGENTS</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">Estate
agents are the only individuals authorized by law to sale immovable property as
a third party. The estate agents license also encompass valuation and property
management and in these areas also they are the only people authorized by law
to operate. This means estate agents dominate the property market as they have
access to various properties originating from diverse sources like deceased
estates, liquidation of assets by companies, individual sales, sales by private
developers etc and they get involved with a wide spectrum of other influential
professionals like chartered accountants, legal practitioners and leading
personalities in sports, business, and politics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW">HOW ?
ESTATE AGENTS COUNCIL OF ZIMBABWE ( EACZ )</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">The best
place to find an estate agent to deal with is the Estate Agents Council of
Zimbabwe because it is the regulator of estate agents in Zimbabwe. On its
website it has a list of all bona fide agents and another of those who are
blacklisted for various offences ( this helps in getting rid of pernicious
fraudsters ) as of that financial year. The council will also advise on the
scale of commission property practitioners are required to charge by law. If you
first enquire with the EACZ the advantage is you will be able to work with
whatever agent you choose as an informed individual. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span><span lang="EN-ZW">3. WHERE ?
BUILDING SOCIETIES OR BANKS </span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">Building
societies in Zimbabwe like CABS and FBC have been involved in the development
of real estate in places like Budiriro 5 and Mainway Meadows respectively. By
being involved in the provision of both real estate and mortgage finance these
banks believe they give their lending business great leverage. By visiting
banks you can also discover the opportunities of foreclosure properties before
they are exposed to the market at the auctions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW">HOW ? CALL
BUILDING SOCIETIES</span></h3>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span><span lang="EN-ZW">4. WHERE ? LOCAL AUTHORITIES or RURAL, TOWN AND
CITY COUNCILS </span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">Though local
authorities do not prefer to call their provision of immovable property in the
market as real estate but housing they do have excellent opportunities real
estate investors cant ignore. Local authorities do have properties
strategically located on busy roads and business centers . At first they prefer
to lease these to investors but this however, gives the investor the right of
first refusal in the event the council decides to sale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-ZW"><br /></span><span lang="EN-ZW">HOW ? CALL
HOUSING AND PHYSICAL PLANNING DEPARTMENTS</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">The housing
department is a local authority’s estate agent responsible for the sales of
immovable property. The physical planning department has the physical plans of
the local authority and is responsible with ensuring that whatever development
that happens on the group is in line with the plans. So its wise for an invest
to be always in touch with these sections of a municipality so that one is
aware of what and where opportunities are available in a local authority’s jurisdiction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

practical business ideas that helps in making a profit from property investing is another. Indeed, you can go wrong with real estate and become bankrupt if you nose dive into it without proper ideas about how to do it well. Conversely, if you invest grounded in the right ideas real estate's qualities like security of income and value appreciation can take you to a whole new level of profit making. In my career as a property consultant I have benefited from important lessons I learnt from some of my successful clients worked with for years. One of them who is an MD of a major organization in Zimbabwe has at least five properties that are as we speak are accumulating both rental and capital value for him. Here are some of the things that I have learnt to be behind his success.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Selling your house is a process about which DIY (do it yourself) doesn’t work. Many people tend to prefer the DIY way when doing various things in their lives. Probably, this is the reason why some manufacturers sell refrigerators with some parts like handles not installed but having some kind of inlets for the consumers to do it themselves. There can be many reasons why people prefer DIY. These ranges from the contentment that comes after one successfully achieves a personal task to the possibility of saving the hard earned money. Selling your house however, is something that you cannot achieve the DIY way because you compulsorily need help from other people who have trained to give special service to the complex process of selling immovable property. There are many reasons why this is so but here I will give three.</span></div>

<h3>
1) Buy in the right suburb density (market segment)</h3>
<br />
Buying in the right density ( e.g high, medium and low) is your line of first defense in as far as profitability is concerned. A right density is important because in it the critical real estate profitability ingredients like proximity to CBD (or a competitive business center like Sam Levy & The Brook), social amenities, image etc that leads to good demand are available. Belvedere is a good example you can visit my article that I have written about it.<br />
<h3>
<br />2) Invest a lot in finishing</h3>
<br />
Prospects who gives you a profitable deal either as buyers or tenants makes decisions depending on how far a piece of real estate's aesthetics appeal to their sight. In more than nine years of experience I am yet to come across or hear of a prospect who brings along an engineer to test the so-called structural integrity of a property in order to determine its habitability. So to prospective buyers the decision to buy its made basing on how a property looks to him or her, spouse, business partners. It is therefore, critical to make good investments on a property's finishing through renovation or a construction process because final appearance makes or breaks a rental or sales deal.Period.You can even hire an interior designer if your budget permits for maximum impact! Its worth it.<br />
<br />
<h3>
3) Be open to advise from subject matter experts (SMEs)</h3>
<br />
As an adult you do have some thoughts about property investing but they are not necessarily the best to follow. And the fact that they are your ideas does not qualify them to be the best. This also apply to the education you have. You may have a PHD but the knowledge of prevailing property market dynamics can be way out of the scope of your training. Whatever your education or training it can never beat that of hands on practitioners in various areas of property. I call these individuals subject matter experts because they have specialized knowledge of a particular area and in this case property or real estate. Therefore, their knowledge and assistance is very valuable. Its worthwhile to listen to them and avoid quarreling. You know in our lives this is not new because already we have a similar kind of people who give us special help in certain areas of our lives. For example we do have people like medical doctors who diagnose us of various ailments but nobody quarrel with their prescriptions.<br />
<br />
My MD client is an expert in listening to people about whom he believes they can help him. I am impressed by the fact that despite his vast experience in business he always quietly listen whenever I begun talking on my area of specialty - real estate. He relied on me through out and he would regular ask me " Cain is everything still above board? ". Because of this I gave my very best because I did not want to betray such trust. I was involved in the sales and management of his properties but other aspects he gave to relevant people. On these other areas like interior design his properties also had the highest standard of workmanship. I however, knew that the secret to his success was that he listened to experts' advise and allowed them to do their work the way they knew best.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the important subject matter experts you should involve if you want to make a profit from property investing.<br />
<br />
1.<a href="http://propertymattersnews.blogspot.com/2017/11/selling-your-house-three-reasons-why.html">Conveyancer.</a> This is a lawyer specializing in the transfer of title deeds ownership from the seller to the buyer.<br />
<br />
2.Estate agent. This a professional involved in the sales, valuation and management of immovable property.<br />
<br />
3.Architect. This one is involved in the creative design of your building plan.<br />
<br />
4.Land surveyor. This one is involved the demarcation of land boundaries. He is the man to contact if you want to subdivide a big piece of land into smaller ones.<br />

<span lang="EN-ZW">Home seekers
have a dream. A dream of a place that they can call home because after a day’s
hard work the environment is conducive for them to recuperate in peaceful rest.
A place where their children’s dreams about being great in life can nestle. A
place where all these great things happen because it has uncompromised
installations of such critical things like sewer and water. A place where all
these great things happen because there are schools, medical
facilities in the vicinity plus security of persons and property. In Harare one of the new residential
developments in which this dream is being realized is the gated community
called Aspindale Park in the south of the capital. This week this development
caught my attention ahead of similar ones because its being done at a bigger scale. I
will therefore, take a look at some of this place’s amenities on and off site
about which prospective home seekers may want to know.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It means harvesting good profits through capital gains or higher rental income to property owners and more commission to estate agents. A depreciation in value means the opposite – a lose of equity, profit or commission. Value appreciation being this important therefore, techniques that allow investors to positively influence the perception of value in the eyes of the market are welcome.

<span lang="EN-ZW">SEWER AND
WATER </span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">Sewer and
water installations are indispensable to residential land development
therefore, they should be done wholeheartedly by the developer. Wholeheartedly
means using the required expertise and materials in order to avoid blockages.
For sewer a blockage has a more serious health hazard as human waste can flow
in open places where people especially the vulnerable children are. So it is
very important that a developer should install the sanitary systems following
the highest standards available. At
Aspindale park sewer and water are installed and this comes as fresh air
considering that elsewhere home seekers are being made to use septic tanks on
300sqm where such usage is unhygienic. As you might have heard sceptic tanks do
have seapage so they should be surrounded by enough free space so that the
waste do not contaminate other things and trigger cholera. Unfortunately some
desperate home seekers do not only have a septic tank on the 300sqm but also a
well for fresh water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZW">The entire
park is being enclosed within a perimeter fence a facility that brings about security
and improves the perception of value within both the rental and house sales
market. Criminals usually target new suburbs because the
residents would be new to each other and lack social cohesion. A
pre-installed security fence is a pre-emptive strike on criminal syndicates
that make raids on new comers. Security for the facility is also boosted by its
proximity to the Zimbabwe Republic Police Marimba. The police station is one of
the off-site amenities that appealed to me. I will at this juncture take a look
at two others that home seekers may also want to know about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This is why more established areas have higher values than less established
ones because the former have more amenities. All stands at Aspindale Park are on offer for $85 per square meter. There

THREE REASONS WHY YOU CANT DO IT YOURSELF (DIY).<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Selling your house is a process about which DIY (do it yourself) doesn’t work. Many people tend to prefer the DIY way when doing various things in their lives. Probably, this is the reason why some manufacturers sell refrigerators with some parts like handles not installed but having some kind of inlets for the consumers to do it themselves. There can be many reasons why people prefer DIY. These ranges from the contentment that comes after one successfully achieves a personal task to the possibility of saving the hard earned money. Selling your house however, is something that you cannot achieve the DIY way because you compulsorily need help from other people who have trained to give special service to the complex process of selling immovable property. There are many reasons why this is so but here I will give three. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Value appreciation of immovable property is one of the biggest motivators for investing in real </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">estate. It means harvesting good profits through capital gains or higher rental income to property owners and more commission to estate agents. A depreciation in value means the opposite – a lose of equity, profit or commission. Value appreciation being this important therefore, techniques that allow investors to positively influence the perception of value in the eyes of the market are welcome. Here are three worthy of consideration and these are perimeter walling, landscaping and a paint finish called eggshell.</span><a href="https://propertymattersnews.blogspot.com/2017/05/perimeter-walling-and-other-value.html" style="color: #84b2d6; font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration-line: none;">More...</a></span></div>

<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Agreement of sale </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Many people do not know that an agreement of sale must meet certain requirements in order for it to be considered as an enforceable contract in a court of law. Without meeting these requirements the document you create may have some other significance but never that of an agreement of sale. Some of these important elements are offer, acceptance and consideration. So an agreement of sale is not a document about which you should think you can create using common sense. This is a document that is proof of a meeting of minds with respect to the sale of a very important asset therefore, its worth while to engage proper legal counsel in order to have a real contract.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Title deeds </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The importance of land to our lives is something that everyone knows well and cannot be over emphasised. Economist say it is one of the critical factors of production. Wars in Africa and elsewhere have been fought because of it. So a person involved in the creation of title deeds should be thoroughly trained in land law and ALL relevant statutes. As a result according to the law there is no one not a licensed lawyer usually called a conveyancer who can create title deeds. </span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Trust account services </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Imagine you change your property’s ownership in favour of a buyer but you do not get your money. There is therefore a need for a trusted third party to whom the money and original documents of ownership are deposited whilst the ownership of immovable property is transferred in favour of the buyer. Professionals involved in the sale of property especially legal practitioners are required therefore, to have both a trust and a business account. A trust account’s purpose is one which is to hold in trust other people’s money and a practitioner cannot use it for any other business. This is why there is need for the business account. In order to ensure that rules relating to a trust account are being observed a compulsory annual audit is done by the industry regulator. </span><br />

directors and of course the Indian amongst its residents. And finally for real estate

mine woke up one night to a sight of several burglars surrounding the bed where
he was sleeping with his wife. They were armed with bricks, iron bars to
mention only a few. They intimidated him and demanded money so my desperate friend
gave them all he had. Before they left they collected other valuables they
could lay their hands on like his wife’s iPhone and Mac Book. Besides the trauma
they fortunately received minor physical harm.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-ZW">OUR BLUNDER </span></h3>
A week
earlier my friend had called me so that I could help him to relocate to a new
place. We used a T35 truck to
transport his house hold goods and it was in broad day light. So at the new place
the entire neighbourhood had a good look of the new comers and their property. This
was the biggest security error we made. We gave criminal intelligence in the area a
great opportunity to collect sufficient data about us. At the house there where strangers "finishing up" renovations and these also had a good opportunity to have a closer
look and gather information.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h3>
<br />THE FATEFUL NIGHT</h3>
After such
a very successful intelligence data collection - thanks to our naivety in
relocating in broad day light – the criminals launched a smooth flowing
operation on the fateful night. They came through the kitchen and they had
keys! My friend later in the morning discovered the kitchen door opened but the
mortice lock was not damaged an indication that they had keys. Having all
information needed in order to steal this was a very easy raid and I imagine
them whistling as they walked in. But stealing an iPhone was a blunder they
could later regret thanks to technology. The GPS system allows the tracking of
a device once its switched on. So because of this and with the cooperation of
ZRP’s Criminal Investigation Department ( CID) we managed to track one criminal
to Greendale shops Harare. He was arrested, successfully convicted and he is now in
prison. The rest are still at large.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Never
relocate during the day. This is the first line of defense. The best situation
is that no one in the new area should see you moving in but they should
discover your presence probably as they see you regularly walking on the road.
Relocating during the day gives criminals an opportunity to gather intelligence
information about you. As a new comer you are a big target so your security is
of paramount importance during the early days.</div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Criminals are stubborn. Even if you beat them at
first they will still want to try their luck on you. So I think for the sack of
your security, that of loved ones and property another security measure should be taken which is engaging security
services during the early days. I prefer security guards with those ugly looking dogs or security guards who are armed. The idea is that you should create an early perception that is strong in them that any
criminal raids on you, loved ones or property will be at their own risk!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Value appreciation of immovable property is one of the biggest motivators for investing in real </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">estate. It means harvesting good profits through capital gains or higher rental income to property owners and more commission to estate agents. A depreciation in value means the opposite – a lose of equity, profit or commission. Value appreciation being this important therefore, techniques that allow investors to positively influence the perception of value in the eyes of the market are welcome. Here are three worthy of consideration and these are perimeter walling, landscaping and a paint finish called eggshell.</span><a href="https://propertymattersnews.blogspot.com/2017/05/perimeter-walling-and-other-value.html" style="background-color: white; color: #84b2d6; font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration-line: none;">More...</a><br />
