Property Managers General Discussion:: How to finds Buyers
When a home owner tries to sell "By Owner", they basically use two techniques to get the word out--a plastic sign from the local hardware store and classified ads in the local newspaper. When a seller lists their home with the professional real estate agent, however, a very sophisticated process begins in order to make sales happen.
Real estate agents have a backlog of prospective buyers for the homes in their market. Through the Multiple Listing Service, the agent cooperates with other brokers in the area who will show your home to their prospective buyers. Professional real estate agents also combine direct mail, telephone calls, and specialized advertising techniques and media, such as the Internet, to reach the sales market. In this way we create activity on our listings that help them to sell quickly--and for top dollar.

Property Managers General Discussion:: Local participation in construction
In Kerala, there is a marked preference towards modern and convenient living style. This means owing a Kerala Flat or apartment instead of a traditional Kerala house. A definite shift in the attitudes of the people are reflected in this move from stand alone houses surrounded by land to community living in flats or apartments which offer many facilities like lack of worry to the residents because things like the upkeep and maintenance of flats, payment of bills, security etc., are collectively undertaken by residents� associations. The comfort and convenience of a hassle free life is a sure attraction.

Many real estate developers� characteristic in:

� Ensuring local participation in construction activities
� Blending new styles with traditional ones and designing according to the lay of the land
� Its use of locally available and innovative materials
� Cutting down consumption of energy intensive materials using appropriate technology

Real estate construction and development are mutually supportive. Housing provides a base for achieving economical independence and upgrades the quality of life.

In the early days, flat and apartment builders foray into the field of building construction witnessed a severe shortage of skilled labor in this particular style of construction. Various skill upgradation programs were organized by the government in masonry, carpentry, plumbing, landscaping and such other skills related to this particular style of construction and habitat. These benefited hundreds of youth and women by empowering them with desirable skills.

High level of degradation and urban problems [by hervin]

Property Managers General Discussion:: High level of degradation and urban problems
The land-use changes in Cochin are more pronounced and perceptible these days. The residential and commercial areas show a high level of degradation. Houses are getting clustered and yearn for more space. Residential areas are undergoing vertical expansion owing to lack of space. Parks, open lands etc are giving way to human settlements. Congested urban areas are getting more congested and thus slum areas are growing. Commercial establishments and streets are getting busier and the condition of buildings is deteriorating.

The volume of traffic is high at important road junctions producing much noise pollution. The ambient noise standard prescribed is 55 Leq dB (A) for residential area but Cochin city shows a high level of noise pollution between 60 � 70 Leq dB(A), the highest being near Panampilly Nagar where it is 74 Leq dB (A). The accepted noise standard in commercial areas is 65 Leq dB (A) at day time. It is now as high as 84 Leq dB (A) at Ernakulum south adjacent to M.G.Road, which again shows a high level of degradation. The noise levels are high even in the silence zone where hooting of horns is prohibited. The recommended noise standard in this zone is 50 Leq dB (A).

Even with all these problems when considering the developments in real estate Cochin is in the forefront of major developments. The one reason for the phenomenal appreciation in real estate values is due to the preference shown by the investor community. Investors from all over the world started flocking to Cochin when the land values started appreciating and doubled within a short period of time.

Due to the recession in the global economy and particularly in the gulf countries, the reverse brain drain or the reverse migration of people has resulted in major changes. What began as a trickle has now turned into a flood. The state government is in a fix as to how to meet this phenomenal inflow of people. This influx of the expatriate population is having a positive aspect as well. The returning expatriates now bring in significant investment funds and thus the global recession did not have a major effect upon the local real estate market.

All the good emotions and the bad emotions seem to converge when the house hunting begins. Don't worry, this is a normal reaction, and is found in seasoned home buyers as well as those who are looking for their first home. One of the first decisions you need to make is whether you want to do your house hunting on your own, or by using an Agent.

Fast sellout of every new residential project [by abdel]

Property Managers General Discussion:: Fast sellout of every new residential project
It is common in Kerala culture that NRIs tend to invest in residential properties preferably in their native towns or cities well tended and supervised by their relatives and friends. However, recently more funds are now being invested into commercially viable projects like malls, hotels and other office complexes.

It is not clear why there is such a sudden change in investment mode though it is suspected that the current generation of NRIs is more aware of the potential of investing in the major cities of India including that of Kerala. In addition to that most of the second generation, NRIs are more venturesome than their previous generation.

Millions of foreign currency has poured in from NRI investments in the last one year alone and this trend is expected to continue.

However, the demand for Kerala flats and apartments in the residential sector has not diminished as proved by the fast sellout of every new residential project in most parts of Kerala.

With the retail sector expected to boom in the country the interest of the NRIs in investing in malls and shopping complexes in addition to other corporate offices are seen as an extremely wise move by all.

These projected hikes in the various sectors of the industry are without doubt going to drive the residential requirements also higher. The one sobering fact is that even with all the fast-paced constructions going on, the residential sector is still unable to meet all the current accommodation needs.
