Greek Festival at Monterey - Barry Freeland - Short Sale Experts - Prunedale -Salinas - Royal Oaks


This is a pic from the Greek Festival last week at Monterey. We had such a great time dancing to the beautiful Greek Music. The aroma of delicious foods filled the air and the artisan craft's captivated the senses. The friendly atmosphere made the experience seem like that of a family picnic. It was very inviting and fun.-John Fleet


The Barry Freeland Team has options if you are unable to remain in your home.

Do not let your home go into foreclosure!

Short Sale. A short sale is when you sell your house for less than the principal balance of the existing mortgage. Typically in a short sale, the homeowner is experiencing hardship, and the property may be listed for sale at less than what is owed on the existing mortgage.


One of the options that may be available to you is the government's Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program. HAFA provides additional options to avoid costly foreclosures and offers incentives to borrowers who utilize a short sale.

  • You may be able to receive $3000.00 when short-selling your home. 
  • You may be entitled to a tax-forgiveness for the (ghost tax) created by the short-sale, due to expire Dec 31, 2012
To learn more about the HAFA Program email:
thebarryfreelandteam@gmail.com or call us at (831) 449-4642

We know it can be difficult to understand all of these options and our job is to come up with the best solution. However, the more you know, the better informed you will be when making a decision regarding your home.

Loan Modification: The Ugly Truth

The following is an article that illustrates a situation that 'The Barry Freeland Team' has been keen to, and has been able to help many clients avoid.

We often use the metaphor of putting a band-aid on a deep cut:
"It may help with the bleeding for a minute, but if we could stitch it up right away, with sterile tools and antiseptics, and allow it heal properly; well let's just do that. 
-Barry

I hope the following article from the S.F. Chronicle, 'Loan modifications often damage credit scores' by Carolyn Said, doesn't upset you too much.

Bare in mind that The Barry Freeland Team will be there to get you through the tough terrain and back to being the king or queen of the mountain:

 Struggling homeowners who get a loan modification to reduce their mortgage payments are often unaware that it can seriously ding their credit score. Moreover, if they don't get long-term help, the temporary loan mod can bury them in a deeper hole of debt that increases the likelihood they'll lose their home.
That was the case for Victor and Patricia Mendez of Livermore. When demand began to slump for Victor Mendez's tile contracting work, he and his wife asked their bank, JPMorgan Chase, for a loan mod.
"They said, 'We can't help you until you're late,' " said Patricia Mendez. "It took a long time for me to get the guts to do that. I had never been late on anything in my life."
The Livermore couple eventually did stop paying their mortgage, believing that was their best hope.
Chase denied that it had urged the Mendez family to become delinquent. In a statement, it said: "We have no policy to advise customers to stop making payments, and we can find no indication that we advised this customer to stop making payments."
After several more months of calling and faxing in financial documents, the couple said Chase gave them a trial loan mod, temporarily reducing their payments.
Patricia Mendez said the couple made those trial payments for 10 months, while she took on a part-time job as a church secretary to improve their financial profile and Victor found extra work.
But at the same time, their credit rating steadily eroded as Chase first reported their missed payments and then recorded their trial payments as partial payments, she said. Credit card companies slashed their spending limits and raised their interest rates. The rate on one card jumped from 9 percent to 29 percent.
To read the entire article press here.

Believe me I know. It seems like the system is trying to keep you 'blue'.
The truth can be painful, but like that deep cut, lets fix it it the right way. I truely believe that you are capable of strong feats and can handle the truth so let us help you make the truth one of success and of regaining composure.
Call The Barry Freeland team right away and bringing you together with peace of mind will be your victory!

9 Foods for a Healthy Weight Published: 8/14/2012
If you are trying to lose weight, avoid the frozen, prepared, and often expensive "diet" meals and instead hit up the produce, grain and fish sections of the grocery store. These superfoods are not just filling and can help you manage your weight, but offer numerous health benefits as well.

  • Kale. This dark, leafy green provides fiber, iron and calcium - and at about 35 calories per cup (raw and chopped), it is a low-calorie way to fill up. Choose organic when possible.
  • Lentils. High in protein, lentils can help prevent spikes in insulin levels that can cause your body to store excess fat.
  • Blueberries. A good source of antioxidants, blueberries have over 3.5 grams of fiber per cup, which can help to fill you up and keep your digestive system running smoothly.
  • Wild Alaskan salmon. An excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, salmon can help improve insulin sensitivity, which helps build muscle; the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns. Sardines are another good omega-3 and protein-rich fish option.
  • Steel-cut oats. An excellent source of fiber, eating steel-cut oats is a good way to fill up without a lot of calories.
  • Quinoa. A healthy alternative to white rice, quinoa can help curb hunger via its fiber and protein content.
  • Apples. A calorie-efficient way to curb hunger, apples contain antioxidants that may help prevent metabolic syndrome, a condition marked by excess belly fat.
  • Buckwheat pasta. Unlike regular white-flour pasta, buckwheat is high in fiber and contains protein, making it more satiating, so you eat less. Try soba noodles in place of spaghetti.
  • Olive oil and avocados. Both contain heart healthy monounsaturated fats. Many people find that increasing their intake of healthy fats makes them feel fuller while keeping insulin - which helps conduct fat into the cells for storage - low and steady.

Personal Developement is Why the Client Comes First


Hello,

I hope to find you well.

Did you know that technology is changing faster than ever? Of course you do.

With that in mind one can conclude that because of the constant update and change that all professions have to face, we are all in constant learning mode. The space in between learning a new 'thing' and applying it seems to have disappeared. The space I am referring to use to be the moment that we could take a little breather. That breather moment seems to have disappeared for most of us, and many of us have had a hard time trying to reclaim it.

Barry and the rest of the team are aware of this phenomenon and that is why we keep current with the changes and stay on top of the game. We have adopted a model which keeps us on the pulse of innovation, regulation, and the welfare of our clients.

When you consult with us you will find that we will reclaim that 'space' for you so that you can decompress and find some peace of mind. When you hire us you will experience our true calling. Our personal development depends on that our client receive exceptional service, and because we place our personal development high on the hierarchy scale of life, providing exceptional service to our clients is a must.

"Why," might you ask, 'Does this model continue to work so wonderfully well for The Barry Freeland Team and our clients?'

I'd like to answer that with a neat little article I found from Zig Ziglar.

It is placed following the advertisement.
I hope you enjoy it.

Personal Development or Self-Fulfillment

By Zig Ziglar

There is a vast difference between personal development and self-fulfillment. Self-fulfillment is the Dead Sea. It’s the student who acquires knowledge so he or she can parade that information in front of their peers and society to get accolades. Personal growth is the teacher who acquires the same information so he or she can teach someone else who will benefit from their preparation.
Self-fulfillment is the individual, though there are obviously exceptions to this, who goes to the gym, spends countless hours building the “perfect, sculptured body,” then spends more hours in front of the mirror admiring his or her creation. Personal growth is the athlete who also spends countless hours in preparation so that not only can he or she get individual benefits, but, more importantly, so they can make a significant contribution to the team. A classic example is Kevin Smith, a former member of the defensive backfield for the Dallas Cowboys. He expressed a willingness to structure his contract in consideration of the salary cap so the Cowboys could have money left to sign other important members of the football team. By taking this approach, he helped ensure that the team continues strong. Kevin got a lot of personal satisfaction from that, but you can rest assured that he was extremely popular with his teammates and the media.
Self-fulfillment is the “hooray-for-me, to-heck-with-you, I’m-gonna-do-it-my-way, win through intimidation and look out for number one” mentality. I submit that this is the perfect recipe for an absolutely miserable human being. Real happiness comes when you are able to teach and/or inspire others to be the very best they can be. It’s still true that others can give you pleasure, but you will only be happy when you do things for other people. Think about it. Be a Kevin Smith and I’ll SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

Interviewing in Hot Weather

Hello again,

I don't know if any of you folks are or have interviewed for a job during the hot season, but I found this neat little article that has a few tips on keeping cool when you have to do it.

Summer Interviews - 5 Tips to Help Keep Your Cool

Posted but not written by John " Johnny" Fleet

Interviews are stressful no matter what time of year it is, but in the dog days of summer, they can present an even bigger challenge. Just last week, I was in a hurry to get to a job interview and between the heat, the terrible humidity and my nerves, when I finally got there, I could feel the heat radiating off of my body. I was rumpled, tired and the sweat running down my face didn't give me the polished, professional look I was going for.



It seems to be a common problem this time of year, but there are some things you can do to keep your cool during summer interviews. Here are some tips:



Wear one less item in transit - On the way to the interview, wear one less item than you plan to wear at the actual interview. For example, carry your jacket or blazer. This way, you'll be cooler in transit and your jacket will be crisp. Once you put it one, you don't have to worry as much about the dampness of your shirt becoming too visible.



Wear comfortable shoes - It's tempting to wear a pair of heels, but during the summer, it's better to opt for comfortable flats or dress shoes. Dressy sandals can also work well, depending on the dress code of the business. Whatever you do, don't show up wearing flip-flops.



Give yourself 15 minutes to cool down - Allow yourself extra time to cool off before your interview time. Depending on where you are going, spend a few minutes in the bathroom or at a nearby business to get refreshed and gather your thoughts. This is the perfect time to put some cold water on your face or neck. It's also a good idea to always carry a nice handkerchief for just this situation. Once you're cooled off, you'll feel more confident about the interview.



Select garments that don't show sweat - It's best to wear fabrics that have a little bit of Lycra, to prevent wrinkles and stay away from linens and other fabrics that tend to show sweat or that look rumpled easily. Plan for the hottest day, and anything less will be a pleasant surprise.



Bring along some breath strips - To feel fresh, it's a bad idea to put on more cologne or perfume. On hot days, the overwhelming perfume smell can trigger allergies even in those who aren't as sensitive to it. Instead, get a pack of breath strips that dissolve quickly in your mouth. It will give you fresher breath and can even make you smell better overall.

I hope you found that article informative. I also am including another article that gives a little heads up on what the writer believes are the things not to say during an interview. I know they could have certainly helped me in the past.-John Fleet


 





The 5 Worst Things You Can Say During an Interview

Going to an interview is a really stressful experience. If you aren't careful, you can drive yourself crazy before you even arrive. Between preparing for commonly asked question to selecting the perfect interview outfit, it's enough to push you over the edge. The key is to take a deep breath and remind yourself over and over that this is just a chance to find out more about the job opening and show the hiring manager what you have to offer. Sure, it's a high stakes game, but nothing worth having comes easily.

The most important thing you can do to keep your nerves at bay is to be prepared for the interview. First, you should have an idea of how you will answer some of the most common interview questions. Knowing what to say is important. Also, it's important to know what not to say.

Here are 5 things you shouldn't say during an interview:
  1. "My last boss was a jerk" - While it's important to be honest about why you left your last job, honesty doesn't equal trash-talking. Even if the reason you left your last job was because you hated your boss, don't say that during an interview. Instead, mention how the job wasn't a good fit for you and what type of job you think would work better.
  2. "What does your company do exactly?" - Before your interview, you should research the company and have a general idea of what they do. The only time it's allowable for you to not know very much about a company is if you are going to an interview where the name of the company hasn't been disclosed. However, this is rare and when it happens, it should be a red flag that the job opening may not be a legitimate one.
  3. "I'm going to need to take these days off" - We all have lives and obligations and a new employer will understand that. Perhaps you have a family vacation planned or a sister's wedding. It's happened to me that I have been out of work, made plans far in advance and then ended up getting a new job just a couple of weeks before the date. I've had to explain my situation and work out the time off. However, the time to bring this up isn't during the interview. It will only come off as presumptuous. Instead, wait until you are offered the job and are discussing start dates and so on.
  4. "Do you attend church regularly?" - Or, do you support Little League or whatever. While it's important to try to establish rapport with an interviewer, it's equally important to not pry into their personal lives. You might think that you are just showing an interest, it can come off as just plain creepy. Avoid asking personal questions about family obligations, religious affiliations or anything that strays too far from the professional realm.
  5. "You know what I really hate..." - When answering questions, be careful not to go on a rant, especially a negative one. Even if the interviewer smiles and nods, as if they agree with you, don't take it as a sign of encouragement. It's more likely to be the case that they are just nodding to see how far you will go. When you complain or rant, even if it's justified, you just come off as someone who is negative or bitter.
Hopefully, these tips will help you when you go to your next interview. If nothing else, maybe they can make you smile while you're waiting for the interviewer.

Hello folks,

How are you today?

The other night I was reflecting on my calling of being a salesman and soon began thinking about all the lost opportunities that I created throughout my career; I began to think about why I botched them.
To my recollection, I felt that despite my genuine concern and care for my potential clients, I often failed to 'listen' to them. By showing off and 'tooting my own horn', I failed to realize that the client was not amused. By lacking empathy, I often missed out on getting to know my potential client and getting to know what they actually needed.
How could I provide the genuine service and good that my clients deserved when I would not even bother to know what my client's goals and needs actually where?
I couldn't!
I learned, the hard way, that the perspective client was not there to hear a long winded presentation, and that I was disrespecting them by consuming their time. What the client wanted from me, as their potential consultant, was a confident and trust worthy person that would be respectful and help them meet their goals. What I showed them was an arrogant man trying to force feed them without even knowing if they had allergies.

Don't worry! Those where just part of the perils of  youth and inexperience. I have long since learned from my errors. It seems, however, that many sales people of all ages never learn these lessons. I can't tell you how many times I see sales people with great potential missing out on establishing great relationships because they are caught up in their own affairs and fail to establish a genuine connection.

Our team is designed around a philosophy that helps you actualize your Real Estate dreams and goals by taking 'You' into consideration.
This is why we encourage you to use The Barry Freeland Team for any of your residential Real Estate needs.

Why gamble and use someone who is probably only in it for the sale, when you can use someone who you already know is in it for 'You'?

Following my add, I pasted a cool article that relates to this topic. It will explain what I am talking about a little better.

Hope you like it!

Ego vs. Empathy: Do you need both?

By Bryan Flanagan

Professional salespeople take pride in themselves and their profession. Professionals are driven to succeed. They work diligently to solve problems and they are focused on results. At the same time, professional salespeople are concerned about the well-being of their prospects. These salespeople develop a deep empathy for prospects and their challenges. A professional salesperson needs to have ego-drive and empathy in equal measure.

Ego-Drive

Ego-drive shouldn’t be confused with conceit. This attribute is a motivation to achieve success in the sales profession. However, it is more than just a determination to win. It is also a determination to prepare, plan, and position yourself to win. Yes, this includes being competitive and driven, but not to the detriment of others. Ego-drive is bringing others with you as you succeed.

Empathy

When you tie empathy to ego-drive there is very little danger that you are going to oversell and/or over-promise. With empathy, the sales professional understands the client’s problems and knows exactly how the prospect feels. But because you don’t feel the same way, you have the perspective of backing away from the problem and offering positive solutions. Many sales professionals develop a way to move comfortably from the seller’s side of the table to the buyer’s side.

Psychologist H.M. Greenberg emphasizes that if you are going to build a successful business career, in addition to ego-drive you must also possess empathy for the prospect. When we separate the word business into its component letters, B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S, we find that the U and the I are both in the word. In fact, if U and I were not in business, it would not be business! If you look a bit closer, you will discover that the U comes before the I in business. On closer observation, you’ll also notice that the I is silent. In other words, it is to be seen, not heard. For you to build your professional sales career, you need both the U — the prospect— and the I — the salesperson.

Sales professionals understand this and act on being ego-driven as well as becoming empathetic toward prospects.

Think about it and then go sell somebody something!

This article is an excerpt from the new So, You’re New to Sales book by Bryan Flanagan.

Being Polite is Alright

Hello Everyone,

I was driving back from Bend, Oregon yesterday and as many of us do on long road trips, I began to think about life. The family and I went to visit my parents; we sure did have a good time.
What I began to wonder is why my dad always stressed that I be polite and courteous, especially when most of my friends, as a child, lacked practicing what my father tried to instill in me. At the time, it seemed to give them an edge by 'not caring' about how they made others feel because they always got what they wanted. This confused the heck out of me.
My wife (we have been together over 13 years) has always practised being polite and courteous, still does, and people just love her. She constantly reminds my two year old to say thank you and please; I admit that sometimes I struggle with that because I subconsciously still associate that with my childhood experience's. I am totally wrong to think that.
My father use to tell me courtesy does not take away from being valiant. I had know idea what he meant, but I tried to follow his mantra anyways.
I would like to share with you a cool article from Zig Ziglar that may shed some light on the 'why'. It is posted following the add.

I hope you enjoy it:)




Please and Thank You
by Zig Ziglar,
Of all the things a parent can teach a child, manners rates very close to the top of the "must teach" list. Number one, when a child is taught, from the time he or she can talk, to say "thank you," you are teaching that child thankfulness. The insertion of the word "please" in a request changes the child from a demanding person to one who accepts the fact that when they ask a favor or make a request, the parent has no automatic obligation to respond favorably to that request. Response to "please" is much better than the "get this for me" demand type of approach.

Psychiatrist Smiley Blanton says that roughly 80% of all of the counseling he does is the direct result of parents not having taught their children manners. He emphasizes that he is talking about more than table manners; he's talking about the whole spectrum of deportment and civility. That's significant because the record indicates that most top executives in any field of endeavor are courteous, thoughtful people. Example: One hundred seventy-five of the CEOs of the Fortune 500 companies are former Marines and 26 of our presidents served in the military. The military teaches respect and manners. I challenge you, when you encounter a former career military person who moved up in the ranks, you will be impressed with their old-fashioned courtesies, including, "Yes, Sir," "Yes, Ma'am," "Thank you," "Please," and other expressions of good civility and deportment. They are taught to serve before they earn the right to command

Johnny's Mind

I really like and enjoy learning from a fella named Zig Ziglar. He is a mentor and life coach kind of guy that has figured out so many wonderful things in life. I have subscribed to his newsletter and have listened to many hours of his lectures. His catalogue includes anything from raising a healthy child to mastering sales. Today I wanted to include a little story that I happened to come across by him:

The Hitchhiker

By Zig Ziglar
Many years ago when it was reasonably safe to do so, I picked up a hitchhiker just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina. As he sat down he announced that he had just been released from prison. I was shocked and more than a little concerned because the man was also drinking. I asked him why he had been in prison and he said he had been sent up for “bootlegging,” which meant he was making “moonshine” whiskey and selling it. Next I asked him if he had used the time in prison to prepare for a better future. He said yes, he had studied hard the entire time.
Then I asked him what he had learned. With considerable pride he told me that he had memorized the name of every county in every state in the United States and all the parishes in Louisiana. I was stunned and indicated as much, so he challenged me to test him with any state I chose. Since I had lived in South Carolina many years, I chose that state and he proceeded to demonstrate that he knew every county. I was convinced that he could do the same for the other states.
Here was a man who had a very good mind, but a limited education. Had he utilized his mind completely during the three years he had been incarcerated, he could have acquired knowledge that would have equipped him for a better life. Unfortunately, he didn’t and he is not alone. Many people go through life collecting trivia or useless information when they could invest their time more wisely.
Think about it. Study and learn the things that will make a difference in your life and I will SEE YOU AT THE TOP!
Zig Ziglar is known as America’s motivator.


There’s not a lot you can do about the national economy but there is a lot you can do about your personal economy. ~Zig Ziglar
