The key to making big profits in real estate is having the right resources to get timely information that both educates and informs. Buying or selling a home is a process, not an event.

Today, with the proliferation of the internet, the speed at which you can get information, become educated, and ultimately be keenly positioned to take intelligent action, has never been easier.

The intent of this forum is to help you find the best path to take before you begin the "process" of buying and selling, by providing you a jumping off point to give you the information you want and need to best profit from owning real estate.

Since this is my first post, I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself to you, albeit in text and not a handshake (the shortfall of electronic communication unfortunately).

My name is Jeff Hoffman and I’ve been a licensed real estate agent in California since May of 1988. I obtained my Broker license in 1990. In January 1995 I opened my residential real estate company Hoffman Realty Group, where I still actively list and sell homes (www.hoffmanrealtygroup.com).

I have listed and sold nearly 1,000 homes equaling approximately 1 Billion Dollars of residential real estate. I've spoken at major real estate conferences to thousands of real estate agents, invested in and currently own several rental properties from my own personal account, and have studied the "science of real estate" under some of the brightest minds in the industry both past and present.

I'm launching this site with the intent of offering you an unfiltered no-nonsense electronic highway of communication. Incidentally, the name the blog, and even the title of this post, is shamelessly taken from conversations with my young daughter, who like most kids these days have a language all their own! She inspired me to give you the 411 (aka the "information") which as best as I can tell means the "inside scoop."

What does all this mean to you?...

Simply put, that you can begin this new "electronic" relationship (don't worry, I've already told my lovely wife of 16 years that I'm not into online dating just blogging!) with a sense of confidence that I know what I'm talking about as it relates to the world of real estate. One of my personal goals along the way is to become a welcomed guest, rather than an unwanted pest, earning your trust so that you can use and profit from my advice.

Real estate is an exciting and interesting topic. For most of us it represents our largest financial investment. It's also an emotional safe harbor in the busy storm of life. It is that mixture that arouses the passion of so many. If you are one of those passionate people, then visiting this blog on a consistent basis will be time well spent for you.

Here's what we will focus on...

Posts will center on the core issues of helping you make or save more money with your real estate holding(s), save time, and avoid unnecessary effort that doesn't support the above three goals.

If you would like to receive information on new blog posts as they occur I encourage you reply with a comment. We'll add your information (your information is always confidential and will NEVER be given to anyone without your express written consent) and you'll be automatically notified so that you don't miss a post that could provide you with the information you want and need.

I'm excited about the possibilities and I hope you are too.

Till next time...

Jeff
