The Real Market Experts - What do we do?

What does THE REAL MARKET EXPERTS (RME) do?

RME has established a unique, "one-of-a-kind" system for assisting individual investors to obtain real estate investment properties. This is accomplished by leveraging our franchised network of trusted real estate experts that are located throughout the United States and a powerful internet based software system called the Investor Concierge™ (www.investorconcierge.com).

What will RME do for me?

RME offers a service to permitted investors of obtaining turn-key investment properties. Our primary investment strategy is focused on "Buy and Hold" properties, which mean that the investor holds the property for an extended period and takes advantage of the cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits. RME Franchise partners assist the permitted investor to acquire, renovate, finance, close, place a tenant, and manage the property. Permitted investors have the opportunity to obtain properties throughout the entire franchise network.

What makes RME unique?

RME has put together a one of a kind system that is unmatched in the marketplace. We are the only company that provides an end to end service for investors to obtain residential investment property. We have also taken every measure possible to ensure that our client’s interests are protected. First, we chose a Franchise model to distribute properties, which is monitored closely by the FTC and certain State Regulators, and requires full disclosures and audits on every aspect of the business. Additionally, RME Corporate is a licensed Real Estate company and each franchisee has licensed agents involved in the operations of the business. In addition, all monies from every property transactions go through an Escrow Company, Title Company, or an Attorney. Finally, every property sold through our system includes a one year home warranty (unless special restrictions apply).

How do I become a customer of RME?

RME receives all of its Investor Customers through affiliate partners that have contracted with the company to assist their Investor Customers in rapidly building a real estate portfolio. Currently Nouveau Riche, a real estate investing education and direct sales company located in Scottsdale, AZ is our primary affiliate partner for providing us Investor Customers.

How do I acquire properties?

RME franchisee acquisition specialists obtain properties in their specific marketplaces and find and evaluate each deal carefully. If the property passes our stringent evaluation criteria, it is then loaded into the Investor Concierge™. When properties are loaded into the Investor Concierge™, investor customers are automatically notified via email, when their position in the "Queue" is up. Prioritization in the "Queue" is based upon the level of education the person has obtained through our affiliate partners.

Do I purchase properties over the Internet?

Yes. When you are given the opportunity to view properties on the Investor Concierge™, you must act quickly before the properties are offered and reserved by other eligible RME clients in the "Queue." The higher your prioritized rank in the Queue, the more time and opportunities you will have to view the properties before other RME clients can view them.

How is the Queue prioritized?

The Nouveau Riche Corporation, which is an affiliate of RME, offers a suite of real estate investment education products, from a community-based subscription program to tuition-based colleges. Every investor customer who purchases an educational product from a personal Nouveau Riche Student Advisor, and remains an active Community Member, is qualified to use the Investor Concierge™ web portal and its host of services.

Your priority in the Queue is determined by many factors, the precise combination of which is proprietary to the RME system. However, one point is clear. RME strongly encourages all clients to obtain knowledge and education in real property investing, and to continue to increase their real estate and investment knowledge base as time progresses. Accordingly, the Queue has been designed to provide a higher priority to those clients who have achieved greater education in real estate and personal investments through Nouveau Riche. Serious investors who continue their real estate education receive priority placement in the Queue. When you purchase and attend educational symposiums offered through Nouveau Riche and other educational systems recognized by RME, your Queue position increases. As a result, the frequency at which you are offered available properties increases.

What type of real estate does RME focus on?

RME’s current focus of is on residential real estate (including apartment buildings and other real properties consisting of multiple residential dwelling units), although commercial real estate activities may be added to the sales portfolio at a later date.

How does RME acquire great investment properties for sale on the Investor Concierge™?

THE REAL MARKET EXPERTS obtains properties utilizing many different strategies, including: creating strategic relationships with property wholesalers, builders and developers, real estate agents, and obtaining pre-foreclosures and foreclosures through various acquisition and marketing strategies (including short sales).

How does RME evaluate properties?

Once a property is identified and or acquired by RME, it is subjected to an initial evaluation based upon our proprietary Acquisition Evaluation Model. Our Property Evaluation is our good faith effort at creating a complete estimate and profile for the property, including estimates of condition, cost of repair, market and location analysis, and expected cash flow. Our Property Evaluation is based on our experience and knowledge of historical performance for properties in the given market. However, as in any business investment, our Property Evaluation is not guaranteed.

How do I obtain financing of a property?

As part of the services offered to RME clients, RME will help all clients locate available financing options for the purchase of the property. Because all lending opportunities are different, some of the financing options available through RME may require varying amounts of upfront cash down payment based upon the property, borrower’s financials, or other variables. RME will provide all RME clients with the names of lenders in each region and will typically know of lenders who have a specific willingness to lend on each particular property.

How do I get a tenant in the property?

As a service to our clients, RME offers an optional tenant placement service that is under the control of a local real estate broker. The methods used by RME are typically as follows: properties are placed in the local multiple listing service, a sign is placed in front of the property, 5-10 signs are placed within 1 mile of the property, classified ads are placed, tenant placement agencies, property management companies, and real estate agents are typically used, as well as other forms of advertising such as flyers and posters may be used. RME also uses a website dedicated specifically to tenant the Investor properties, www.RMEHomes.com.

How will I manage the property?

RME assists in coordinating property management services. Once a RME client’s property is rented, RME will offer a selection of proposed property management service companies from whom our clients may select.

What is a typical return on my investment?

All deals vary; Investors can go to the Investor Concierge™ website, log in as a GUEST, and view Sale Pending and Sold properties, which will show the projected financial proforma on the properties.

What are my tax obligations?

RME cannot answer personal financial questions. Investors should contact their personal tax advisor.
