Next Generation Real Estate and Financial Services Business Model

(PRWeb) February 5, 2007 -- Independent real estate professionals everywhere are feeling the squeeze by large companies who are consolidating services. This includes State chartered banks in 27 states that are not prevented from establishing real estate companies within their structure.

"Within a few years, Real Estate Agents and Agency Owners won't have the option of only handling the real estate transaction. They will have to decide whether to broaden their range of services or exit the business because of competitive disadvantage", says Robert Hubbard of Global Realty & Funding Systems (GRFS).

There are numerous players in the financial services industry who strongly suggest that price competition is long overdue in the real estate industry, not the least of which is the banking industry. "If these forces prevail, the impact will be immediate, and significant, in driving down commissions and fees", said Hubbard.

He further stated that "in the future, it will be absolutely imperative that Agents and Agency Owners be able to maximize and leverage every client relationship. They need to become a 'one-stop' resource in order to maintain a truly competitive edge. Also, the resulting multiple streams of income will offset any negative pressures exerted by price competition for real estate transactions by other companies."

Recognizing that Real Estate and associated Financial Services are rapidly evolving and changing, GRFS offers a 'next generation' approach to the real estate business for independent Agency Owners and individual Realtors by facilitating the integration of financial services into existing businesses.

Located on the West Coast in Portland, OR, and operating nationwide, GRFS offers a package of services that include 1) mortgage lending 2) private or "hard money" lending for investment into residential or commercial real estate and 3) the conversion of qualified retirement plans into Self Directed IRAs for the purchase of income producing real estate.

Offering clients the ability to utilize private money and qualified retirement funds for real estate investment will definitely increase revenues for Agents and Agency Owners. But the unique 'multi-tiered' compensation structure of the nationally licensed mortgage company, Global Equity Lending, is a powerful wealth building tool.

Agency Owners are able to earn a portion of the commission off every lending transaction an Agent handles. Agents are able to build their own 'Lending Teams' and recruit other Agents, nationwide, to integrate mortgage lending into their own businesses. Then, in addition to personal production, Agents earn a portion of the commission off every mortgage loan closed by their 'Team'. This residual income takes the pressure off creating income purely from personal production.

"Realtors and Agency Owners only need minimal education in order to successfully perform 'dual functions' and market our products and services to their clients. GRFS actually implements and delivers the product or service", said Preston Hiefield III, Principal.

He went on to explain that "Realtors and Agency Owners are not burdened with having to become experts in the financial services field. Agents can be completely confident that GRFS will seamlessly integrate services in such a way as to not distract them from this primary mission and, at the same time, deliver high quality services to their clients."

Principals and Senior Consultants of GRFS, Robert Hubbard and Preston Hiefield III are licensed Realtors, Mortgage Brokers, Private Lenders and Self Directed IRA Advisors.

GRFS ( www.GRFSystems.com) accomplishes the integration of financial services through three separate operating companies: Global Equity Lending (www.GlobalEquityLending.com), Sierra Capital Trust, Inc. (www.SierraCapitalTrust.com) and IRA123, Inc. (www.IRA123.com).
