Arthur Holmer Wells Street Encourages Honest Real Estate Selling

July 25, 2011 / posted in general / Comments Off

Most salesmen have been known for reputation of using their wits and fast talk in convincing people that they will lose a lot of things if they let offers pass by. However, almost everyone who have been enticed by such people have almost always regretted their decisions in the end, wishing that they listened to the call of their conscience rather than heeding to the appeal of the so-called financial savings and discounts. Even though Arthur Holmer Wells Street used to be a real estate agent that sells homes for seeking customers, he does not encourage that agents abuse the needs of these people into deceiving them of making a sale for the demise of others. In fact, he has shared some information through his blogs on how buyers would go about making informed decisions in purchasing a property.

 

Arthur Holmer Wells Street calls this kind of behavior as impulsive buying, just as same as buying clothes during a mall wide sale. Since houses and buildings are quite expensive and a challenging asset to own, he informs people to take time, consider all factors, and only then should a person go through the process of buying the property. Would you even waste money on something that you know will not last a lifetime or almost a lifetime at least? The feelings of purchasing a home should not be taken casually, believing whatever a sales person has to say. After all, only the desperate would be enticed or tempted enough to be lured with such soothing words or unbelievable promos.

 

Following the Success of Mark Antman

At the early age of 10, Mark Antman had seen his future career. Mark found an old enlarger and asked his mom to set up a darkroom and buy the needed chemicals for the enlarger to work. His mother did not fail him and so his love for photography bloomed. The years went by and he took up Biology and Chemistry at NYU. This did not stop him from playing with cameras’ lenses and shutters. He continued his photography enthusiasm and worked as photojournalist in France. While taking pictures in a contest in New York, Mark met Alan Carey who eventually became his business partner. Both are in love with the art of photography, they started from a spare room in Mark’s own house. Eventually, the Photo House, which was called Image Works slowly, prospered which made them move to bigger locations for four times. They ended up in a building in Woodstock, NY.

 

By the year 2002, business partner Alan Carey retired and left Mark Antman to be the sole owner and manager of the Image Works. From there, he became more determined to push the success of the company to greater level. Two moves helped him a lot, and these are when he signed the company up for the ASPP or the American Society of Picture Professionals. The other move is joining the Jigsaw website. The ASPP helped the company to be educated and informed on the latest trends and methods of achieving great photos. Image Works indeed had better products since then. On the other hand, Jigsaw helped Image Works pull clients from different countries closer.
