Signature Touch Solutions

Are you tired of your inbox being filled with the same wholesale deals daisy-chained over and over?

Are you tired of walking deals on the market only to get beat out by a dozen other offers?
If your agent or wholesaler isn’t serving you off-market deals that only meet your criteria, you need a new deal finding solution!

That new deal finding solution is The Shamrock Homes Team!

This is a map of all the off-market leads we have produced in the last 12 months.

Some of these we have worked as transaction brokers directly to our investors.

Some of these we have listed to help the seller in their specific situation.

Some we have handed over to our buyers or coaching students on a silver platter (complete with repair estimate, contractors, detailed comps, and a marketing plan to pre-sell the property during renovations).

If you’re ready for full-service solutions for your next investment project, comment below or message me to get started.

🇺🇸Independence Day🇺🇸 is my favorite of all. A day where we celebrate the freedom of our nation and our privilege to exercise personal freedom, enjoy individual rights and the opportunities to move laterally in the largest economy of the world.
These blessings granted by our Constitution are unfortunately not observed by many Americans and widely take such for granted.
I’m not looking to get into politics or debate here. Simply want to state my gratitude for the country I am in.
❤️🤍💙God Bless America.

So awesome that someone caught a pic of this! Fun night with Shamrock Homes team, Elevated Title and Invest Success!

FHA, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have now issued press releases stating:
-if the seller pays for the buyer's agent commission, it will NOT count within the amount allowed for concessions/ Interested Party Contributions (IPC)
-FHA has stated it will allow up to 6%
-Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae allow anywhere from 2-9%
-This is subject to what normal looks like in the local market. "If these fees continue to be customarily paid by the property seller according to local convention, they will not be subject to financing concessions limits."

About last night…

The stars had to align just so to make it here. We were grounded in the plane for nearly two hours before taking off from DEN due to mechanical issues. I was notified several times that I was going to miss the connecting flight in PHX. Thanks to weather in Florida, that flight was actually delayed as well and we made it to LIH!
This is my first time on Kauai and it’s raining buckets! No matter the weather, I’m in the company of some of my favorite people to celebrate several things, among them is my cancer-freedom and claiming victory over the past 12+ months of challenges presented along the way. I sure hope it doesn’t rain the whole time we’re here but I’m in paradise, regardless, with all my senses heightened and engaged!

Truth bomb 💣 :: "Don’t expect agents to be willing or able to work for a much lower commission than they’ve been working for in the past. According to recent data from the National Association of REALTORS®, the average agent earns between $44,951 and $58,528. And they work long and hard to even earn that much. There is rarely a day off, let alone a vacation, and they easily work more than 40 hours per week. Will you be able to find an agent who will work for lower rates? Perhaps. But as is the case in any industry, sometimes going with the lowest cost option ends up costing you more in the end."

Beyond the Headlines: Understanding How Proposed Changes in Real Estate Commissions Will Actually Impact You as a Buyer or Seller You’ve probably heard the news that there are changes coming in terms of how real estate commissions are paid. This might sound exciting and like a potential game-changer for you as a home seller or buyer, with headlines proclaiming things like: “Real estate commissions are being slashed!” “...

From a local Denver agent and investor:
-The two big changes for agents
-The value of buyer’s agents
-Possible BA commission structures
-How agents price homes
-Investor insights from an agent
-Role of agent partners
-Future of the NAR

I’m a Real Estate Agent—This Is How I Feel About the NAR Settlement and the Changes to Come After multiple lawsuits, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has agreed to a settlement with home sellers amounting to a payment of $418 million and a

Biden administration proposed 2024 budget goals:
1.) lowering household costs
2.) increasing tax revenue
3.) lowering the deficit
Section 1031 was a target for Biden’s proposed 2020 budget and his new 2024 proposal, reigniting the debate over its implications for the real estate market, investment strategies, and the broader economy.
The following study finds that 1031 exchanges were pivotal in supporting jobs and income within the US: https://1031buildsamerica.org/study-ey-lke-macroeconomic/
It is imperative for people to show support for Section 1031 to protect a vibrant part of the US economy. Contact your local representative to express your support for Section 1031 exchanges. Your voice can influence legislative decisions and help maintain this critical tax provision that benefits investors and the broader economy alike.

Thank you to Exchange Resource Group, LLC for the info!

Let's break through the emotions and misinformation of the NAR lawsuit! Reminder, this has not yet been approved by the federal courts!
Ultimately, this WOULD change:
1.) The MLS would no longer be the vehicle that communicates compensation that the seller/listing agent may be willing to negotiate payment to the cooperating (co-op) buyer's agent.
2.) A "buyer representation agreement" would need to be in place before an agent can show property to a consumer.
CONSEQUENCES of #1: Commissions have always been negotiable. The omission of this information being provided in the MLS requires agents to communicate with one another right from the beginning. Buyer's agents really should have always been making a call to the listing agents before making an offer! We are in a relationship business and that extends to our relationships within our professional community. This is going to require us to collaborate and get creative and solution-oriented.
CONSEQUENCES of #2: Sorry Zillow, you're no longer going to be the hotline for looky-loos! Consumers, this means that you are committing to the representation of this particular agent before getting behind the front door. Agents are going to need to have solid communication and be able to demonstrate value! You will need to have a thorough conversation about how they are willing to handle the compensation component. This is going to challenge real estate pros to ELEVATE PROFESSIONALISM! As agents, we need to remember that people are entrusting us to manage and represent them for one of the most important and valuable transactions of their lives. Step up or step down!

Check out the math in this article, showing that home ownership with financing really is affordable. Rates are projected to fall in 2024 and what has been the "hold out" season is turning to the "jump in" season rather quickly. Once rates go down, you can bet home prices will go up... as will your competition.

Why 6.625% Is An Affordable Mortgage Rate In 2024 Mortgage rates spiked this week as inflation ticked up. But here's the case for mid-6% rates by Spring and math on why this is affordable.

Here is your Denver Real Estate Market Update for December 2023. In a string of economic forecasts, ING is the latest bank to reveal its expectations for upcoming Fed Rate cuts. In response to the current economic slowdown, subdued inflation, a less dynamic job market, and a less optimistic consumer spending outlook, ING is betting on 6 rate cuts for a total drop of 1.5% in 2024 and another 4 rate cuts, equivalent to a 1% drop, in 2025.

However, the Federal Reserve, in its infinite bah-humbug persona, wants to squash any and all of this blissfulness. As recently as December 1st, Fed Chair Powell talked of cutting rates being “premature” and said more hikes could happen.

So, what does all of this mean for rates and the Denver market?

Double total mastectomy is one week away.
I had my appointment with my oncology doctor today and chemo will be apart of my treatment… exactly what I was hoping not to hear.
This journey will be a long one… and even more details will be uncovered about a week after my surgery after lymph nodes are sent to the lab for analysis. This will determine the need for radiation as well as the extent of chemotherapy. Looking at either 12 weeks minimum and 20 weeks max.
I definitely felt a bit of defeat learning this news today and shed some tears. But my warrior heart is still joyful and thankful that I have so much support in my amazing family and friends.
Thank you all for walking this journey with me. 💖 https://www.giveinkind.com/inkinds/Q8B0K9A

It’s challenging for me to ask for help. I have had to be pretty independent most of my life and now with life presenting a chapter in which I don’t have many choices outside of asking for assistance is… humbling.
I know we are all struggling with something and my fights are not any more important than others. Finances are tight for so many of us as well and I have a hard time putting this out there.
The universe is telling me to let it be and accept all that is to come.
