On Scheduled Thursdays, we will be holding a marketing strategy workshop and agent training.  All new agent orientations will be held on this day as well.  New agents must attend both workshops, but it's not necessary to attend both in one day.  Agents can attend one workshop or both as seating allows.

RSVP is recommended as seating is limited.

There will be an alternate training day each month to accommodate those who are unable to attend Thursday sessions.

If you or a partner you work with would be interested in participating in these workshops as an instructor or sponsor, please call Ginni at 513-896-1200 or email at ginni@j2res.com.

Thank you for being a part of OwnerLand Realty.  Our success is a result of our awesome agents!  We are so privileged to have you on our team!

We welcome your input in our Virtual Sales Meetings...so please email me (ginni@j2res.com) if you would like to submit an article, helpful hint, recipe...or if you have a great joke to share with everyone.

Have a Great Week!

How many of us want to pay more taxes than we need to?  Our agent, David Hicks, manages The Refund Place, a tax service that caters to real estate agents, brokers, and investors.

David says, "I'm your in-house tax resource for all things tax, especially as it relates to real estate issues.  In fact, you may email me right now (taxsniper@ownerland.com), and ask any kind of tax question you'd like, with no cost or obligation."
 
"As an associate of OwnerLand, you will get my personal service in the preparation of your Federal, State, and Local tax filing requirements.  Plus, you'll get a free tax consultation which may result in adding another 10-15% to your annual after-tax income starting in 2009!"

 "My staff and I will also treat your home buyer and investor clients just like family.  What better gift to your past clients than to direct them to proper tax counsel right now?  You can even offer tax services as a gift from you (which you can pay for at your own rock bottom rate).  Many agents earn free tax preparation for themselves and their operating entities simply by referring some of their clients.  Your clients deserve to have the best tax people helping them with their new property ownership tax consequences.  Double that for your investors.  Bad tax advice literally costs investors and developers 20-30% or more every year.  There's no better way for you to show you care about your past clients than to let David and his staff put some extra money into their pockets this tax season and take the burden off of them trying to do this on their own."

Please call David at 513-684-1314 or email him at taxsniper@ownerland.com if you'd like more information.
