What Does A-S-L Have To Do With Real Estate?

Today I’d like to change that by dating myself a little bit. Remember the days of AOL Instant Messenger? Back then, A.S.L meant “age, sex, location,” so here’s my A.S.L:</div><div><br /></div><div>My name is Nick Good, the team leader and owner of the Good Home Team with eXp Realty, and I’ve been in the business since 2005. I was born in Dallas but grew up in Plano, and I currently reside in McKinney, Texas, with my wife, two children, and a golden doodle.</div><div><br /></div><div>Before I got into the real estate industry, I was delivering pizzas in college. At the time, my brother and I wanted to get involved in the real estate investment game, so when I saw a job posting for a real estate assistant, I applied and got the job. That job opened my eyes to the huge opportunity to become a Realtor, <b>the kind of person who could help clients buy, sell, and invest in real estate.</b></div><div><br /></div> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">"</span> Let’s go back to the days of AOL Instant Messenger for a minute. <span style="color: black;">"</span></span></span></span></h3> <b id="docs-internal-guid-c5825bb3-7fff-6d9f-6195-05fa670b8307" style="font-weight: normal;"><b><br /></b></b><div>Typically when people buy or sell real estate, they’re going through some kind of life event. That could be just being tired of throwing money away on rents; studies show that homeowners have 44 times the net worth that renters do. It could also be that people are getting married and want to start a family, meaning they’d need to upsize their house. The opposite could also be true, in the case of those whose children have moved out and they no longer need all the space in their home. That’s what we love about the real estate business—being able to help people through whatever situation they’re in at the time.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>I just wanted to make sure that you all got to know me better before I ask for your business.</b> If you or someone you know is thinking about buying or selling a home, please let us at the Good Home Team know. If you’re interested in learning about how to invest in real estate, we’d love to help you get started.</div><div><br /></div><div>P.S.: We are currently hiring for real estate agents, so keep an eye on our blog for a video where we’ll explain our hiring process!</div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-c5825bb3-7fff-6d9f-6195-05fa670b8307" style="font-weight: normal;"></b></div> </div>

He said that they have great quality cameras for a fraction of the price of other brands: just $19.99. Since I’m a frugal sort of homeowner, I was naturally very interested to hear about Wyze security cameras.<br /><br /><b>To set them up, you only need three items: the camera itself, a mobile phone,</b> <b>and an internet connection.</b> The camera we bought shoots video in 1080 full HD and has two-way audio, meaning you can both hear and talk through the camera. Along with the clear night vision feature, this makes the Wyze camera good for both indoor and outdoor use. Additionally, the camera has 14 days’ worth of free cloud recordings, so you can buy an SD card to record and save footage. <br /><br />Wyze security cameras are compatible with both Amazon’s Alexa feature and Google Assistant, which makes automating your home much easier.</b><br /> <span style="color: red;"><br /></span> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">"</span> With a 1080 HD resolution, night vision, and two-way audio, the Wyze cameras are good for both indoor and outdoor use. <span style="color: black;">"</span></span></span></span></h3> <b id="docs-internal-guid-c5825bb3-7fff-6d9f-6195-05fa670b8307" style="font-weight: normal;"><b><br />Wyze also has other affordable products like automated light bulbs </b>that can be turned on and off according to a schedule you set for them or brightened/dimmed through your smartphone. The Wyze smart plugs can turn any plug-in device into a smart device that can be turned on and off with your phone as well.<br /><br />Wyze front door locks are only $89, though we haven’t tested them yet. They’re not battery-operated; if you’re using them for exterior camera use, you’ll need a long USB cable to plug in somewhere inside the house. For just another $15, you can buy a weather-proof case to set it up outside without fear of the elements.<br /><br />What sort of home security products do you use? I would love to hear about them. In the meantime, if you have any questions about buying or selling a home, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d be glad to help you, no matter your real estate goals.</b><br /> <b id="docs-internal-guid-c5825bb3-7fff-6d9f-6195-05fa670b8307" style="font-weight: normal;"></b></div> </div>
