Before you write that Localism blog about a Relo company or any company,make sure you call them first

Before you write a blog about a RELO Company or any company make sure you call them firstBefore you write that Localism blog about a Relo Company or any other company,make sure. you call them first. I need to write more Localism Blogs. I need to write more Localism blogs. Yesterday while listening in on the Webinar that Charlotte NC Real Estate Agent Debe Maxwell was teaching yesterday called "Building Effective Market Reports"

 

I remembered somebody asking her "How she goes about writing some of her Localism blogs? She said that she asks the Manager at the Restaurant where she eats at if she can write a blog on the Restaurant since she enjoyed the food and great customer service at the restaurant. She has even gotten free meals and some business from her Localism blogs. But she didn't do it to get free meals and business. She writes Localism blogs because it makes her the designated Charlotte NC Neighborhood Real Estate Agent when people do a keyword search in search engines.

 

 

Well yesterday I have been looking for a RELO Company in Washington DC to link up with just in Washington DC Metropolitian area just in case I have some Washington DC Relocation home buyers-You never know. Visited their website and logged onto the chat. Waited for like seven minutes-Like I don't have anything better to do with my time like Lead Generation. Anyway nobody showed up-That should've told me something right there. But I later got an e-mail from the Managing. Here is what it said ,

We apologize that we missed you in the online chat. What can I help you
with?
Best,


*########

I responded back by saying Thank you. I am a Real Estate Agent and I am looking for a Relocation company in Washington DC to affilate with. She responded again by saying that we definitely work with Real Estate Agents and that they give out a referral fee. Honestly speaking I wasn't even thinking about a referral fee yet alone was looking for one. Cut a long story short here is the person response.

 

Thanks for your offer to be mentioned on your blog. I feel we will need to
decline at this point as we're trying to focus all of our marketing efforts
toward corporate housing and not the buying and selling of real estate and
traditional (unfurnished, year lease) rentals.

Thank you for reaching out.

Best,

*33333333333*

Now I understand that they are trying to focus all of their marketing efforts toward corporate housing but in 2012 who turns down "FREE MARKETING?". I mean besides I wasn't asking you to pay me for it. Do people make too much money to the point that they feel like don't need no more money? I hope not. Anyway I responded back by saying "No problem. Good thing I asked. It's just my way of saying Thank you to people if they help me. Plus they are relocation home buyers who need your services that visit my site. Have a good weekend. And I left it at that.
 

 
 
Active Rain gets a lot of traffic from potential home buyers and sellers daily. Some of them might be looking to Relocate to DC. So they are going to need a Relocation company to help them,I am sure many of them are doing keyword searches in search engines and Landing on many pages here because of the great content that many Active Rain Professionals have deposited onto this website. Plus I have read some blogs on Relocation here. And it is something that I want to add to my Washington DC Local Business section of my "Buy a Home in Washington DC" Wordpress Blogsite that is still a work in progress. Guess I am going to have to e-mail and or/call up some of my Active Rain Family members and ask you what companies do you use and if you have had success with them since I have yet to find a good and reliable DC Relocation company.

Washington DC Tenant and DC Landlord facing foreclosures questions-How will I know that my landlord is trying to evict me?

Washington DC Tenant and DC Landlord facing foreclosures questions-How will I know that my landlord is trying to evict me?

This is a very imperative question. Matter of fact this one might be the most important questions out of the ones that I have written and/or going to write about. Many DC Tenants don't know that the DC House that they are renting is about to be foreclosed on.

You will know that your DC Landlord is about to evict you when you receive a notice. After the notice expires,you should receive a summons telling you to come to court. Sometimes the new owner will file a lawsuit at a DC Landlord Tenant Court against the old landlord. If you receive court papers at the property with the old landlord's name,it is very important that you go to court. You could be evicted for no reason if you do not appear in court,even if the court papers are in the name of the old landlord.

And if you have missed some of my past blogs on Washington DC Tenant and DC Landlord facing foreclosures,you can catch up here.

Washington DC Tenant and DC Landlord facing foreclosure questions-Can I still be evicted?

Washington DC Tenant and DC Landlord facing foreclosure questions-Can I still be evicted?

To evict a Washington DC Tenant, the new owner must take the tenant to court and prove that the tenant has been given a proper notice and that the landlord has a proper reason to end the tenancy. For example, if the new owner says that the tenant has not paid the rent, then the owner will have to prove that to a judge or jury. You may have defenses against the owner's lawsuit. It is very important to talk to an attorney about your rights as a Washington DC tenant. Don't just assume anything. Know the facts.

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord facing foreclosure questions-Do I have the right to stay in the property after a foreclosure?

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord facing foreclosure questions-Do I have the right to stay in the property after a foreclosure?

The answer is ABSOLULTELY YES. You have the same rights as any other. Bet you want to live in Washington DC didn't you?:-) Tenants rights are protected after foreclosure under D.C law. Tenants have the right to remain in the property after foreclosure. Just like any other tenant, the new owner can give you a notice terminating your tenancy for a limited number of reason:

a) If the buyer wants to live in the property,then the tenant must be given a 90 day notice.

b) If a tenant has violated the lease terms,for instance by not paying rent,then the tenant usually must be given a 30 day notice to cure or quit.

c) If the new owner wants to make substantial renovations that cannot be made while the tenant is living on the property,a 120 day notice is required to the tenant. The tenant has right to re-rent after renovations are completed.

d) If the new owner wants to replace the property with new construction(non-rental) or demolish the property,then the tenant must receive a 180-day notice.

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord facing foreclosure questions-What happens to my Security Deposit?

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord facing foreclosure questions-What happens to my Security Deposit?

Q. What happens to my security deposit?

A. If you live in a multi-family building and the security deposit was being handled by a management company,the management company is responsible for holding your security deposit, and must return it to you minus any deductions for unpaid rent or damages beyond normal wear and tear. If there is no management company,the new owner is not responsible for your security deposit.

Get legal advice. You may need to go to small claims court to sue your old landlord for yoru security deposit.

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord Facing Foreclosure Questions. What should I do to protect myself?

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord Facing Foreclosure Questions. What should I do to protect myself?

Protection. We get insurance on our cars just in case we get in an accident (Well these days there is no way around it). Health Insurance-n case we get very sick or illness so that when we go to the Hospital,it will help us pay for most or some cases all of the medical bill. Lawyer -In case you accidentally shot somebody in the club because you was partying like it was 1999. Even though 1999 was like 12 years ago,must you act a fool all the time in the club?

Well anyway in continuing my series of the Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord Facing Foreclosure question,next question I am sure some Washington DC Renter might want to know the answer to is this:

Q: What should I do to protect myself?

A:  First, get legal advice. Sometimes the new owner will send a real estate agent to the property to talk to tenants. This real estate agent (NOT THIS DC REAL ESTATE AGENT)may give you false or misleading information about your rights. Protect yourself by learning about your rights. Second make sure the new owner knows that you are renting the property. The notice you receive by mail should have contact information. Let the new owner know you are a tenant living in the property and that you want to stay. Ask the new owner who you should contact about repairs and where you should send your rent payments. Keep copies of all of the letters that you send to the new owner.

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord facing foreclosures Questions. What happens if I have a voucher with the DC Housing Authority?

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord facing foreclosures Questions. What happens if I have a voucher with the DC Housing Authority?

If you are a Washington DC Renter who has a voucher renting a house from your DC Landlord who is about to foreclosure on,I am sure many of you want to know the answer to this question.

Q. What happens if I have a voucher with the DC Housing Authority?

A. The new owner must accept payments from the DC Housing Authority. You should tell the DC Housing Authority that the property has been foreclosed. The DC Housing Authority will contact the new owner so that they can get signed up with the Housing Authority to receive payments. If you decide that you want to move,you can request a transfer voucher from the Housing Authority. However,you do not have to move-it is your choice.

Washington DC Renter and DC Landlord facing foreclosure Questions. How will I know if my landlord is in trouble?

Even though Washington DC is one of the most performing Real Estate Markets in the country,like any other major Metropolitian area Real Estate Market,Washington DC has its fair share of houses that are about to go in Foreclosures. So if you are a Washington DC renter who is renting a house in Washington DC that is about to go into foreclosure or think it is about to go into foreclosure because you are not sure,you probably have some questions but don't know where to get answers.

 

Well this week in my new "Washington DC Renter and Landlord facing Foreclosure Questions" blog, I am going to be posting some questions and answers to those questions that I am sure some Washington DC renters will want to know about.

Q: How will I know if my landlord is in trouble?

A: Open all mail addressed to "occupant","current resident," or "tenant", especially if it is from a law firm,bank or finance company.  Be aware of any additional notices. In D.C,a bank is not required though to notify tenants of a foreclosure, but if you get documents you should contact a tenant advocate to help you figure out if you need to change who you pay rent to.
 
 
Tenant advocates can assist you in understanding your rights. Ask to speak to a tenant advocate at Housing Counseling Services at (202) 667-7006: Latino Economic Development Corporation (866) 977-LEDC (5332):or the D.C Office of the Tenant Advocate, (202)719-6560 or www.ota.dc.gov. You can also seek free legal advice from organizations such as Neighborhood Legal Services Program 4645 Nannie Helen Burroughs Ave, NE Washington DC 20019 (202)399-1346  www.nlsp.org, Landlord Tenant Resource Center Court Building B, 510 4th St NW,Room 115 Washington DC 20001 (202) 508-1710 www.dcbar.org, Neighborhood Legal Services Program 3101 Martin Luther King Jr.Ave., SE 3rd Floor Washington DC 20032 (202) 678-2000 www.nlsp.org and D.C Bar-Pro Bono 1101 K Street NW,Suite 200 Washington DC 20005 (202) 737-4700 ext.3290 www.dcbar.org
