Our New App Will Enhance Your Home Searches

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on

New KW technology will allow consumers to search for homes like never before. Our Chief Innovation Officer will explain.

Want to Buy a Home? Search All Homes

Want to Sell a Home? Get a Home Value Report

 

When you’re on a property detail page, it’s really important to get all the information about a house as quickly as possible, and with our new KW Search app (available in 2019), you can do that with ease.

There are a couple things you can do differently with our consumer app that you can’t do in all the other apps:

1. Get the home DNA profile. The home DNA is based on your search criteria, and as you use the app, it finds out what you like and don’t like. It trains very similarly to Amazon or Netflix.

2. Customizable. On the Any Home app, you can easily favorite or hide a home from ever showing up again.

3. Agent-client connectivity. If you’re working with an agent, that agent has the ability to recommend homes and give you comments about why a particular home might be great for you and your family.

4. Photo organization. It breaks down all the photos by room allowing you to simply click on a category and see all the photos of that space, including the interior and exterior of the home. Further still, if you double tap a photo, it will show you all the tags that are found in that photo. These tags will point out various aspect of the room or area, and the consumer can point out what they like about these tags, which will train their home DNA. This allows for a very curated search.

 

“

As you use the app, it finds out what you like and don’t like. It trains very similarly to Amazon or Netflix.

”

 

5. Commute calculator. With the app, you can plug in the address of your work and calculate the commute time between a property and your work.

6. Collaboration. You can actually start private discussions on any home and also invite your agent, co-buyer, or family members to engage you in a discussion right on the app.

7. Property pages. Whenever you’re looking at a property, there will be a feature that allows you to see the neighborhood it’s in and key features about that neighborhood. Then you can go explore the area on the map, allowing you to find out what it’s like to live in any neighborhood for any home.

8. Request tour. At the bottom of the app, there are two buttons: One to contact the agent for the listing, and the other that allows you to schedule a time to visit the home.

This app could truly change the way that consumers search for homes and interact with sellers and their agents. To find out more or to address any questions you have, please reach out to Toth Team Worldwide. We’d be glad to help.

The Toth Team’s Top 3 Most Recommended Books For Increasing Productivity, Growth, & Profit

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on

homepage-logo-retina-no-drop-shadow

 

When we are searching for an agent to sell or find the perfect home, we expect them to be knowledgeable of the market and to help us make the best decision possible. With the advancement of technology in today’s society we have the news right at our fingertips, but are we truly reading, or skimming over the facts? In the Wall Street Journal, “Skimming has become my brain’s default setting,” stated Cynthia Crossen, as she explained the difference between reading and skimming. Skimming is skipping over the main point to get to specific terms or concepts. This is a standard procedure that many of us do without noticing and one of the main reasons hard cover book sales have decreased.

Here at The Toth Team, we treasure the books that have taught us our values today and we would like to share our top three most recommended books for increasing productivity and growth. The Toth Team served 230 families in 2015 and we are on track to serve over 400 families THIS YEAR! Reading has several positive effects on our development and growth both inside and out of work. As we evolve and grow as a team, we must spend time discussing what has helped us grow and what has become an obstacle. We will focus on The Toth Team’s 3 favorite books: The One Thing, The 4 Disciplines of Execution, and the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team.

 

1. The One Thing

 

 

Blank book white cover w clipping path

 

“What’s the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”

– Gary Keller

This quote is the one single question the entire book is written around. Gary Keller is the founder of Keller-Williams Real Estate and has taken the company to the top of their industry. He not only is a remarkable leader and innovator, but also an elite author who moves individuals with his facts and results. Gary Keller and Jay Papasan insist the key to success is not to make a list or analyze your possibilities, but rather to think of that ONE Thing that is the most important thing in your life. This ONE Thing is similar to a goal or objective that you are working so hard every day for. Now once you have identified your ONE Thing and focused your vision primary on it, you must distinguish the obstacles in your way and then determine how you will overcome each and every single one of them.

 

2. The 4 Disciplines of Execution 

4dbookmockupv16c4dfb

“Execution starts with focus”

– Jim Huling

 

Strategy is vital for every business to develop and perform effectively. Often times, individuals run into a conflict of interest and they lose focus on their strategy. Written by authors Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling, these experts define and explain how learning four distinct disciplines can produce desired results. The four disciplines analyzed are the discipline of focus, the discipline of leverage, the discipline of engagement, and the discipline of accountability. The concept whirlwind is discussed and there are several solutions given on how to control and handle our massive amounts of energy. It’s important to remain calm and focus our energy on what is high priority and vital to accomplish for that day.

 

3. 5 Dysfunctions of a Team

FiveDysfunctions

 

“Successful teamwork is not about mastering subtle, sophisticated theories, but rather about combining common sense with uncommon levels of discipline and persistence. Ironically, teams succeed because they are exceedingly human. By acknowledging the imperfections of their humanity, members of functional teams overcome the natural tendencies that make teamwork so elusive.”

-Patrick Lencioni

 

It is a challenge to meet a group a strangers and the next moment call them your teammates. How do we learn to adjust to working in a team and managing it effectively? We must first recognize our five main problems with working in a group and then we must develop solutions to these. Patrick Lencioni is an American writer and lover of business management. He is famous for this book and the founder/president of the Table Group, a management consulting firm primarily focused on organizational/team health. He believes that the first step in a group is to reduce the misunderstanding and confusions by addressing the five most common dysfunctions individuals have: Absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results.

What Are Absorption Rates and How Do They Affect You?

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on

Looking to sell your Ann Arbor Home? Get a FREE home value report

Looking to buy an Ann Arbor Home? Search all homes for sale

Ann Arbor is quickly becoming a very attractive place to live. We have one of the hottest real estate markets in the nation (the ninth hottest, to be exact).

We’re seeing 10% more homes listed this year, and they’re also selling for 2-3% more than they were last year. This means that you stand to make a nice profit if you choose to sell a home this year, and if you buy you can expect some nice appreciation on your investment.

6.9

One major factor to look at before you sell in Ann Arbor is the absorption rate. The rate right now is 6.5%, and this means that if no more new homes came onto the market, it would take 6.5 months for those homes to sell.

However, this is only part of the picture because certain neighborhoods and certain price ranges will be worth more than others. That’s why if you want more detailed information on this market you should contact us.

Now is the time to get into the market before it gets saturated with other buyers and sellers. Please reach out to me for more information.
