A few weeks ago I talked about broken models. Surprisingly enough in 60 minutes, I watched a piece on the same thing. The focus on recycling and natural resources.

Man designs products that don’t’ decompose. They don’t have a return in mind when designed. But everything in our environment does.

So one man set out to change all that. With no engineering background or education, Marshall Medoff locked himself in a warehouse for ten years.

When he came out, he had the blueprints to change how fuel, plastic, and sugar will be used in the future at an affordable price.

Such as plastic forks that can be programmed to break down in 3, 6 or 12 months. Gas that burns 40% cleaner than ethanol and sugar that doesn’t have acid that rots the teeth. All from one of the most abundant sources on the earth, plant life.

These products haven’t been released yet, but they are coming soon. The same thing is happening in real estate. Which I mentioned in an email before.

Companies that will List It or Flip It.

So what’s the big difference between the two? Well, people who list homes aren’t looking to maximize your earning potential.

For example realtors will take a look at what everybody else home sold for in the area and then they will recommend that you price it accordingly to one of those similar models.

Their only interest is to get the house on the market and sell it for what everybody else sells for. But not all homes are created equal. They aren’t all the same. The biggest thing is you have no real idea what the real condition of that home was in. Seeing pictures doesn’t do it any justice.

So this leaves you with a throw a dart at the wall mentality and in hopes you hit something when coming to price. Not exactly the best way to make the most profit on your home. Which is one of the few times you can make a good return on something like this. Plus it doesn’t look out for your best interest.

Now people who flip things work like investors. Their intention is to maximize the profits of the deal. Everything is calculated and measured which ensures a Value Driven Approach.

To do so you must go in with a team of specialists that recommend you do certain things to the house. These adjustments can bring the value of a home up five, ten, twenty or more than forty thousand dollars.

In the end these adjustments are in your best interest. They set you up for big gains on a one-time event. Something people only get a chance to do a few times in their lifetime if that.

If this sounds familiar, that’s because I’ve talked about it before and I’ve posted results like this in the past. I’ve always looked at it as my Value Driven Approach. Which it is but not everyone can relate to that term and know what it is.

After talking in my mastermind group I’m in with people who deliver the Value Driven Approach we have determined that we are really investors that serve our clients and maximize their profits.

Everyone else is just a realtor looking to list your home and leave profits on the table.

We believe this will be the biggest shift in real estate in years to come.

Peter Drucker says, “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”

I believe that is what we have done.
