beycome announces more than 5,000 houses sold

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- beycome, the digital brokerage that empowers consumers to be their own real estate agent, announced it surpassed the mark of 5,000 homes sold last month. Since its launch in 2017, beycome has saved consumers over $71 million in real estate commissions.

The digital service prioritizes service and support over sales. "The focus of our company is to help homeowners become their own real estate agent. With our technology, they handle all negotiations and showings themselves, which in turn allows them to get the most out of their sale. Our users close two weeks faster than the industry average, and that's proof that the model works," says Nicolas Jodin, Founder and CEO of beycome.

beycome has seen rapid growth throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020 its users sold 1,472 properties in Florida, Georgia, and Illinois through the site, making its brokerage arm the largest unaffiliated brokerage in both Florida and Illinois. The company also expanded brokerage operations to Alabama last year.

With strong demand from its users, who also wanted help buying properties, beycome recently launched the Buy with beycome program so home buyers can represent themselves and earn 2% cash back at closing. Similarly, beycome also invested in beycome Title at the end of 2020 in order to offer its users end-to-end transaction closing support and the market response has been incredibly positive.

beycome, founded by Nicolas Jodin and Herve Barbera, is a digital brokerage that is disrupting residential real estate by helping people buy or sell homes without needing a real estate agent. Using proprietary technology, beycome empowers sellers to be their own DIY agent; saving them tens of thousands in commissions.

2009 Summer Street in Stamford, CT Welcomes Three New Tenants: Choyce Peterson Exclusive Listing Agent

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and consulting firm, announced the successful completion of leases for three new tenants at 2009 Summer Street in Stamford, Connecticut. The Choyce Peterson agency team, Vice President Adam Cognetta and Associate Casey McKnight, has been the exclusive listing agent since 2020 representing the Landlord, The Field Group (TFG), in each transaction for 2009 Summer Street.

LaForte Financial Services, Regal Blu Pool & Spa, and Total Insurance Brokerage each recently signed leases for office suites. "We couldn't be happier with the results of our brokerage partners, Casey and Adam, and the tremendous job they've done in a very tough marketplace," said Mat Field, TFG Landlord Representative. "The majority of existing suites at 2009 Summer Street are less than 2,000 square feet, so we've been a preferred option for those tenants who don't want to be in a co-working space, or at home. Alternatively, we've been happy to accommodate circumstances where tenants need to relocate and right-size their space."

Cognetta said, "2009 Summer Street is a great downtown value in a clean, quiet, well-maintained building - the perfect environment to support smaller and growing businesses. The location offers walkability, convenience, and good access to I-95 and the Merritt Parkway."

This ADA-compliant property has only a few smaller suites available, some of which are built-out for light medical use. TFG has maintained its headquarters at 2009 Summer Street for 20 years and owns and manages a portfolio of commercial properties in the region.

APTMetrics Relocates Headquarters to Westport, CT: Choyce Peterson Negotiates Long-Term Lease

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and consulting firm, recently announced the successful conclusion of lease negotiations on behalf of APTMetrics (www.aptmetrics.com) for a new 2,700 SF office at 320 Post Road West in Westport, CT. Choyce Peterson Vice President Adam Cognetta and Principal John Hannigan represented APTMetrics in this transaction.

When evaluating lease options for their space in Darien, CT, CFO of APTMetrics, Martin Kelly reached out to Mr. Cognetta and Mr. Hannigan for consultation. Mr. Cognetta and the Choyce Peterson team had led APTMetrics through multiple previous real estate transactions, including their existing HQ renewal in Darien and satellite office locations in Virginia, Georgia, and Illinois. Mr. Kelly explained that he was seeking to relocate their Fairfield County Headquarters office further north in the county to better align with the location needs of the on-site team and financial objectives of the business. Additionally, he wanted a high-quality building with easy access to I-95 and the Merritt Parkway, a custom build-out, and a landlord who would be receptive to their office-space needs.

After touring the available buildings throughout Fairfield, Southport, and Westport, Mr. Cognetta and Mr. Hannigan solicited proposals from numerous landlords. Ultimately, Mr. Kelly and his team decided on 320 Post Road West in Westport. This building had recently undergone extensive renovations and offered both a great location convenient to both I-95 and the Merritt Parkway, with an opportunity for a custom build-out within an efficient footprint. Mr. Kelly worked with a local architect recommended by Choyce Peterson to design a space that was thoughtfully laid out and aesthetically modern. The Choyce Peterson team negotiated a long-term lease with favorable financial terms for APTMetrics, including free rent and a custom build-out provided by the landlord.

Mr. Cognetta commented, "Over the past many years we have enjoyed a long-standing partnership with APT. For this particular transaction, APT asked us to direct our search in several boutique markets which, despite COVID, have experienced a continued tightening of availability. By focusing on the factors that mattered most to APT, we were able to short-list several unique, quality options and negotiate mutually beneficial terms that rendered this an all-around success."

Mr. Kelly concluded, "It's always a pleasure working with Adam and John - this headquarters office relocation was an important initiative for APT and Choyce Peterson again delivered outstanding professional service. They went out of their way to check every corner of the market and guide us toward an attractive, distinctive building and an office that perfectly accommodates our needs. We are thrilled to join the Westport community where we will continue to grow our business."

The landlord, 320 Post Road West Group, was represented by Senior Director Adam Klimek of Cushman & Wakefield.

Swift Homes Makes It Easy For North Carolina Homeowners to Sell Their Houses As-Is on A Convenient Timeline

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- With the ability to guide sellers through their straightforward process and close transactions in a quick and hassle-free manner, Swift Homes is in a unique position to help homeowners throughout North Carolina sell their properties with ease. Swift Homes' time-tested and methodical approach has rapidly become invaluable for sellers in all kinds of situations.

Swift Homes is a renowned real estate buyer for numerous reasons:

- By purchasing homes and then renting them out, they consistently provide competitive offers.

- The knowledgeable and highly dedicated Swift Homes team has more than 20 years of industry experience.

- The team behind Swift Homes has completed transactions on more than 5,000 properties with an emphasis on single-family homes.

- Backed by a multi-billion-dollar private equity fund, Swift has at its disposal the financial resources needed to buy any home in cash.

- Based in downtown Chicago, Swift Homes buys properties in North Carolina and throughout the continental United States.

When working with real estate wholesalers or flippers, homeowners often have to accept unfairly low prices. Wholesalers are also known to reduce their offers or back out of transactions completely at the last minute due to insufficient funds. Swift Homes is able to offer sellers a great price and close on the seller's timeline.

Sellers engaging in conventional property sales have to contend with inconvenient showings with many people entering their home as well as a timeline in flux. Many purchasers will have to severely delay closing based on a mortgage loan approval that the seller has no control over. There is also the risk of receiving unacceptably low offers or no offers at all. When repairs are needed prior to closing, it's the sellers that often have to assume responsibility for the time and cost to repair. On top of all that, contractually-obligated buyers sometimes renege on deals toward the end of the process, effectively wasting months of the seller's valuable time and potentially thousands of dollars. With Swift Homes, sellers can close on their timeline and Swift will take care of all the repairs after closing.

Why so many North Carolina sellers work with Swift Homes:

- They operate in 100+ markets around the US, encompassing thousands of cities.

- Swift Homes makes cash offers without requiring a visit to the property.

- They have the ability to close on the seller's desired timeline.

- Swift handles all necessary repair work.

- They have an advantageous program where sellers can remain in their homes by renting them back from Swift.

- Swift Homes has the ability to make the purchase even if the seller has an investment home with tenants, as the homes are bought to make available for rent.

- Swift Homes has 250+ reviews with an average rating of 4.5. They have 160+ 5-star reviews.

Client Testimonials provide a clear indication of what it's like to choose the cash home buyers at Swift Homes. Dalceada W., who sold to Swift Homes in South Carolina, said, "Swift Homes reached out to me right away. They communicated with me every step of the way. It was painless. They took great care of me. They even found an experienced notary to handle my closing paperwork. The process went very smoothly and quickly. Kudos to their entire team. I highly recommend them."

Senior Citizen to Auction Waterfall, Lake and Rustic Cabin Comprising His Private, 5.8-Acre Mountain Oasis in South Carolina

SUNSET, S.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the mountains of western South Carolina, on a private property in the picturesque, lake-dotted town of Sunset, you'll find a most unusual lawn ornament. It rises 60-feet toward the sky, which, for the measurement-impaired, is about five stories, according to auction firm Tranzon Fox. This towering ornament is a natural waterfall, resplendent as the breathtaking focal point of owner Roger Abercrombie's 5.8-acre property that might be more rightly termed a mountain oasis.

Of course, during the pandemic, many people set about improving their outdoor spaces. However, no matter the capaciousness of one's budget, nor the voraciousness of one's ambition, Mr. Abercrombie's waterfall almost certainly would prevail in any contest awarding a crown for best backyard decor. Yet, he does not overlook its more practical side.

While many of us in this addled age purchase white-noise machines, play recordings of babbling brooks, and devour articles with sleep-hygiene tips in a bid to obtain a more peaceful slumber, Abercrombie just takes a seat on the porch of his rustic cabin overlooking the waterfall and lake. He reports that, having done so, he just about always drifts off within five minutes, serenaded to sleep by the sounds of water cascading over the rocks.

Of course, in case you missed the part about the lake, it should be noted that, yes, he also has not just a waterfall, but also a lake to enjoy. (It sure beats the rest of us ordering kiddie pools off of Amazon.) And it's trout-stocked, no less -- so perhaps the sounds of the fish occasionally splashing around also contribute to Abercrombie's ability to drift so swiftly off to dreamland.

Then again, many details of this property are storybook-perfect, as if constructed for a dreamland scenario, not least of which is the aforementioned cabin, with its flagstone fireplace, native wood floors and ceilings, and open kitchen and large family room with that glorious, glorious view of the lake and waterfall.

Oh, and the neighbors...or rather the lack thereof might also help soothe some folks to sleep.

As anyone who's had neighbors they didn't enjoy might appreciate, Mr. Abercrombie's paradise is bordered on three sides by the Keowee-Toxaway State Park. It's also got a remote-controlled gate and fencing to deter curiosity-seekers.

However, if your curiosity has been piqued, you might be thrilled to learn that Abercrombie, having known this property since first being introduced to it when he was a toddler, has decided it's time for someone else to enjoy it. He and his wife have retained Tranzon Fox to sell it via online auction, with bidding open May 25-27, 2021. After it's sold, they plan to satisfy a wanderlust and travel the country in an RV, possibly settling down, ultimately, in a place more remote than Sunset.

As it were, Sunset is halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte, and 30 minutes north of Greenville, S.C., so this homestead easily allows use as a weekend getaway or family compound. And for those who need more room than the Abercrombies, there are a couple of suitable building sites, ideal for the construction of one's dream home. In fact, some have speculated it could even be a wonderful place to establish an inn, spa, restaurant, or other hospitality-oriented venture.

Ed Durnil, president of Tranzon Asset Advisors, who's partnering with Tranzon Fox on this sale, says, "In all my years, this is one of the most unique properties that's crossed my desk. And in a real estate market so lively that assessing the current value of even ordinary homes can be difficult, an auction is the perfect avenue to allow the buyers to help determine what this one-of-a-kind familial homestead is worth."

Ultimately, though, Mr. Abercrombie hopes that it will become a cherished part of the new owner's life and a wonderful source of family enjoyment - and that the new owners will find sleeping there comes just as easily to them as it does to him.

Move For Hunger and Buckingham Foundation Announce Partnership to Fight Food Insecurity

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Buckingham Foundation, the philanthropic partner of Buckingham Companies, an Indianapolis-based full-service real estate firm, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced today a new partnership that will provide much-needed assistance to food banks across the country. Buckingham Foundation's support will help grow Move For Hunger's food rescue and hunger relief programs in Indiana, Georgia, Ohio, and Tennessee.

To date, Move For Hunger has collected and delivered more than 22 million pounds of food -- providing over 18 million meals -- to food banks and pantries across the United States and Canada. Buckingham Foundation will encourage residents who are moving out at select properties to gather their non-perishable food items and leave those items behind to be donated to local food pantries and food banks. Through this new partnership, Move For Hunger can provide 15,000 more meals to those in need.

"We're very excited to be making Buckingham Companies and their Foundation a part of Move For Hunger," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "They've been a strong advocate for years in the fight against hunger and the joining of our two companies will only help amplify all of our work."

"Buckingham Foundation's mission is to create positive change in the areas we serve," said Theresa Rhodes, Executive Director of Buckingham Foundation. "Our partnership with Move for Hunger will help us tackle food waste and hunger in our communities, which directly supports our mission to give back in a tangible way. Buckingham Foundation is proud to involve our residents and employees in this meaningful initiative."

Food insecurity increased in 2020 with the effects of the pandemic leaving millions out of work. 42 million people, including 1 in 6 children, are struggling to know where their next meals will come from. All the while, 35% of the food in the United States ends up in landfills. Move For Hunger helps rescue unused, non-perishable food and with its network of 1,000+ movers, transports it to local food banks across the country.

The new partnership with Buckingham Foundation will enable Move For Hunger to continue to help the families, individuals, and children who are most in need of food assistance.

Cortland and Move For Hunger Partner to Fight Hunger and The Environmental Impacts of Food Waste

RED BANK, N.J., /ScoopCloud/ -- Cortland, a multifamily real estate investment management company, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, announced a partnership that will not only help provide much-needed assistance to food banks across the United States but will also help to curb food waste and its resulting adverse impacts to the environment.

Through the partnership - which is Move For Hunger's second-largest - Cortland will support the organization's food rescue and hunger relief programs across all of its nearly 200 apartment communities, diverting food from landfills and into the hands of those who need it most.

With the Move For Hunger partnership, all Cortland residents and associates will have the opportunity to easily collect and donate non-perishable food they no longer want without leaving their apartment communities. Apartment communities will provide residents and associates with food collection bags upon request, which they can fill and drop at a spot on-site. Move For Hunger will then arrange for food pickup and delivery to the local food bank or pantry.

"This portfolio-spanning partnership with a like-minded organization like Move For Hunger will help us to continue to support our communities and drive our organization's sustainability mission," said Jonathan Tucker, executive vice president of Operations & Facilities, Cortland. "Move For Hunger has helped deter millions of pounds of food from ending up in landfills while also preventing more than four tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. In addition, the organization has helped provide more than 18 million meals to those in need. We look forward to bolstering these numbers and seeing what we can accomplish through this partnership."

An estimated one in eight people does not have access to sufficient food to lead a healthy life, while nearly one-third of the food produced globally is wasted, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Food wastage not only deprives those who need it most, but it is also a major driver of pollution. Food waste that ends up in landfills produces methane - a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2. Excess amounts of methane absorb infrared radiation and heat up the earth's atmosphere, which is a driver of climate change.

"Through this new and aptly timed partnership, Cortland is now one of our largest allies," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "Partnering with Cortland will help reach our goals of reducing food insecurity coast-to-coast and protecting the planet by diverting food from landfills to food banks and pantries. We can't wait to leverage its nationwide portfolio to directly impact those struggling with hunger across the whole of the United States."

This partnership comes at a time when it's needed most. The past year has shined a light on both the environmental shortcomings and food insecurity across our nation. Together, Cortland and Move For Hunger can continue to support those in need and fight for the wellbeing of our planet and future generations by preventing additional greenhouse gas emissions.

Proposed Legislation Would Make the 45L and 179D Energy Efficiency Tax Incentives More Lucrative

BLAINE, Minn. /ScoopCloud/ -- The 'Growing Renewable Energy and Efficiency Now' (GREEN) Act aims to extend and boost tax incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy. According to Alex Bagne, the President of ICS Tax, LLC, "If passed, the GREEN Act would make both the 45L Energy Efficient Home Credit (45L Credit) and the 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Building Deduction (179D Deduction) more advantageous while furthering the green missions of these incentives."

THE 45L ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME CREDIT

Currently, the 45L Credit allows eligible developers to claim a $2,000 tax credit for each newly constructed or substantially reconstructed qualifying residence. It applies to single family homes, apartments, condominiums, assisted living homes, student housing, and other types of residences. The residences must be three stories above grade in height or less. The 45L Credit requires a HERS Rater, a credentialed professional who tests residential energy efficiency, to inspect the home, perform energy modeling and prepare certificates of compliance. The 45L Credit is set to expire at the end of 2021.

The GREEN Act would increase the 45L Credit from $2,000 to $2,500 per residential unit. It also seeks to extend the incentive to 2026, as it is set to expire in 2021. The energy efficiency standards would increase, going from a 50% to 60% savings over the IRS baseline.

"Many homebuilders are unaware that their homes as built qualify for this incentive," says Travis Cansler, a 45L specialist at ICS.

Steve Samos, a HERS Rater and the Director of Inspections for ICS, adds "For homes that do not pass, builders can often make design changes to get them to qualify where the additional costs are more than offset by the credit."

THE 179D ENERGY EFFICIENT COMMERCIAL BUILDING DEDUCTION

The 179D Deduction, often referred to as the EPAct Deduction, is a Federal tax incentive promoting energy efficient buildings for both new and existing structures. Further, architects, engineers, contractors, and other building design professionals may also be eligible for the incentive on public projects. Commercial building owners can take a Federal tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot of the building's floor area if they install certain property (e.g., efficient lights or HVAC systems, added wall or roof insulation, etc.) that reduces energy and power costs. The 179D Deduction, which applies to both new construction and renovations, was recently made permanent by the 'Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.' However, that Act significantly increased the energy efficiency standards needed to qualify.

For the 179D Deduction, the GREEN Act would raise the maximum amount of the deduction from $1.80 to $3.00 per square foot for improvements made after December 31, 2021. It would also lower the threshold needed to qualify for the maximum deduction. The current standard compares the building to the ASHRAE standard that was in existence 2 years prior to the start of construction and requires a hypothetical 50% reduction in energy and power costs. The GREEN Act would lower those standards to 30%.

"By making these changes, the 179D Deduction will be more beneficial and further incentivize green building design," says Jillian Jones, a 179D Deduction specialist at ICS Tax.

ABOUT ICS TAX, LLC:

ICS Tax, LLC (ICS) is a consulting firm providing innovative tax planning strategies and specializes in both the 45L and 179D tax incentives.

Green Janitorial Innovations Spur New Tech Company Focused on Occupant Health

DES MOINES, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- With over eight years in providing green, sustainable, microbial protection to businesses, schools, and medical facilities throughout the Midwest, The Heritage Group of Des Moines, IA launched a new tech company, SPMC, LLC in the summer of 2020 to be led by SPMC President John Bergman and SPMC Technical Director Joe Johnson.

More than vacuuming, cleaning, and dusting, Heritage Building Maintenance, the custodial and building management arm of The Heritage Group, set themselves apart with their commitment to the integration of WELL building best practices and use of science-based research and technology. Science-Proven Microbial Control® was born out of their objective of cleaning for health. This not only helped customers maintain the wellness of their buildings but also helped protect those who occupy them.

"Disinfecting has always been a thorn in the side of a sustainable green cleaning program," said Johnson. "Over the last eight years we've worked hard to develop Science-Proven Microbial Control® into a real, solutions-based program."

In the spring of 2020, when businesses across the nation were suddenly challenged with crisis-level health and operational obstacles, Heritage's years of experience in microbial control and innovation turned itself into a real-world tested, science-based process that facilitated the founding of SPMC, LLC - the tech company supported by their trademarked program.

From the initial announcements of pandemic spread and the challenges that faced building management, the SPMC, LLC team saw increased interest from Building Services and Commercial Real Estate Management Companies fostering continuous growth and licensing opportunities throughout the year.

While the timing for a start-up could have been challenging for some, SPMC has continued to grow their family of licensees - all while supporting their current customer list including Paramount Building Solutions in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market, Specialty Maintenance Service out of Omaha, as well as Heritage Building Maintenance in Des Moines. SPMC also continues to educate their business clients and associates on the benefits of Science-Proven Microbial Control®, WELL building best practices, and the use of science and data that supplement traditional cleaning and building maintenance services.

"This takes janitorial services beyond 'straightening up'," says Greg Theroux, Founder and CEO of Heritage Building Maintenance and SPMC, LLC. "While we're in the cleaning business, really, our job is to make our customers' workspaces healthier."

As the Heritage Building Maintenance team continues to provide healthy solutions in custodial and building maintenance services, they and others will become licensees through SPMC, LLC to provide a technologically advanced program that includes a multi-step process, and a scientifically-tested, EPA registered, antimicrobial surface protectant. These treatments are applied through their Test - Treat - Track™ process, creating a superior, data-based cleaning and protection protocol.

John Bergman, who comes from decades of commercial and corporate real estate management, joined the leadership team at SPMC, LLC in January of this year. Together with Technical Director, Joe Johnson, SPMC will continue to innovate and grow its offerings.

"This is so far beyond cleaning, we can't consider ourselves anything less than a tech company," said Bergman. "The data used to support our licensees is groundbreaking."

Bergman went on to explain that through their Science-Proven Microbial Control® program, licensees use testing to set a baseline of cleanliness - at a microbial level - within a building. This establishes a scientifically trackable, data-based health and wellness microbial control protocol for each and every space they serve, providing long lasting protection beyond cleaning and focusing on occupant health and safety.

"Considering our current health-conscious corporate culture," said Bergman. "The availability of this technology sets a new standard for health in the built environment. By providing long-lasting microbial control we re-set the need for hyper disinfecting. This not only provides health and wellness to buildings and occupants, but focuses on sustainability and green best practices."

SPMC, LLC is located in Des Moines, Iowa and currently serves a growing list of licensees and partner companies throughout the Midwest.

If you have questions or would like more information on their Science-Proven Microbial Control® program or licensee opportunities from SPMC, LLC, you can contact John Bergman, SPMC, LLC President at john@spmcglobal.com or go to their Web site at https://spmcglobal.com/.

Sales Boomerang and Usherpa Expand Partnership to Set Mortgage Lenders Up for Success in 2021 Purchase Market

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sales Boomerang, the industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system, has expanded its partnership with Usherpa, a marketing and customer relationship management (CRM) platform for Realtors and mortgage lenders. Sales Boomerang's automated borrower intelligence is now integrated with Usherpa's newest feature, a FCRA- and RESPA-compliant co-marketing portal that helps lenders expand the nature and depth of their referral partnerships with Realtors.

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) prohibits lenders and real estate partners from engaging in quid pro quo referral relationships, a guideline that has made it difficult for lenders and their agents to co-brand marketing materials in a compliant and cost-effective fashion. Usherpa's new co-marketing portal solves this problem by making it easier than ever for loan officers and Realtors to share the cost of creating and distributing co-branded marketing materials to their shared customer database in a compliant manner. By leveraging Usherpa's integration with Sales Boomerang's automated borrower intelligence, lenders can receive actionable, real-time alerts whenever someone in their database - or their referral partner's database within the co-marketing portal- is ready for a loan.

As soon as a customer becomes a candidate for a loan - because they've improved their credit score, market rates have changed or their home has accrued sufficient equity, for example - Sales Boomerang notifies the lender, who can then initiate marketing outreach that is co-branded with the Realtor's information. The marketing campaigns can be automated using pre-written marketing content created by Usherpa's experienced staff of industry experts or customized to meet individual company needs.

"The enhanced integration between Usherpa and Sales Boomerang is a win-win for loan officers and Realtors looking to take their referral partnerships to the next level," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "The loan officer and Realtor share database information within the Usherpa co-marketing portal, we find the loan opportunities and Usherpa automates compliant and effective co-marketing outreach."

"Our customers have been looking for a more effective way to co-market with Realtor partners that is fully RESPA- and FCRA-compliant," said Usherpa Director of Business Development Paul Harrington. "Not only have we delivered what the doctor ordered, we've also enhanced it with the best opportunity alerts in the business thanks to our partnership with Sales Boomerang."

"Eustis Mortgage has developed a prosperous Realtor Success Program using the Sales Boomerang and Usherpa co-marketing portal," said Stephen Barton, SVP of National Retail Growth at Eustis Mortgage. "In just three quarters, our loan officers generated an average of more than $16 million per month in additional revenue."

About Usherpa:

Usherpa has been serving the mortgage and real estate industry since 1995, when it was founded as Media Center LLC. The company offers a powerful, easy-to-use marketing and CRM platform backed by gold-standard customer support and robust training to help Loan Officers and Real Estate Agents make the most of its effortless, fully-automated CRM.

"Argosy Real Estate Partners searched the market for a few years and found numerous software providers that could have successfully helped them collect and visualize their data - but Will and his team demanded more," Pitts said. "Only Pereview was able to bring to the table the ability to now take collected and governed data and go further with it - putting all of their data at their asset manager's fingertips."

Pereview's global implementation partner, Lionpoint Group (https://www.lionpointgroup.com), will play a major role in the relationship, providing Argosy Real Estate Partners deep real estate expertise and proven best practices.

Neil Elliott, Managing Director at Lionpoint, acknowledged the significance that Pereview's platform offers real estate clients.

Blair & Potts Relocates within Stamford Plaza in Stamford, CT – Choyce Peterson Negotiates Transaction

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and consulting firm, announced the successful completion of lease negotiations for Blair & Potts (www.blairandpotts.com) for its 6,169 square-foot office space at Two Stamford Plaza in Stamford, CT. Choyce Peterson Vice President Adam Cognetta and Principal John Hannigan represented Blair & Potts in the transaction.

Rob Buckingham, Jr. and Bob DeVellis, partners at Blair & Potts, decided to engage Cognetta and Hannigan's services after an introductory phone call and follow-up meeting with them, well ahead of the firm's lease expiration. The Choyce Peterson team led DeVellis and Buckingham on a wide search of available space in Stamford. After touring multiple buildings and Choyce Peterson negotiating proposals for several buildings, it became clear that the ideal solution was to remain in the Stamford Plaza complex but consider relocating from Building Four to Building Two into a newly built office suite. The employees at Blair & Potts had come to appreciate the numerous amenities that

Stamford Plaza offers, including outdoor space, along with a new cafeteria, dry cleaners, renovated fitness center, shuttle to the Stamford train station and covered parking. Most importantly, however, is Stamford Plaza's perfect location in the heart of Stamford's central business district, directly off Exit 8 of I-95, with convenient access for both Blair & Potts' clients and employees.

Cognetta and Hannigan negotiated with Margaret Carlson, Portfolio Manager for RFR Realty, LLC ("RFR"), the landlord at Stamford Plaza, to arrive at a solution which combined two pre-built suites with several modifications to accommodate Blair & Potts' specifications. Blair & Potts is relocating from Four Stamford Plaza to Two Stamford Plaza.

"We really enjoyed partnering with Rob and Bob on this project," Cognetta said. "We encouraged them to tour all viable options in Stamford, as well as explore available suites in their current complex so they could make a fully informed decision on the best option. We ultimately negotiated a solution that ticked all the boxes, allowing them to retain the quality location their employees and clients appreciated, while providing compelling economic lease terms in a brand-new space."

"We are very happy with the work that Adam and John did to make this long-term decision a clear one - especially in this environment," commented Blair & Potts. "They helped us survey the entire market so we could compare and ultimately focus on the most important factors in a new suite. Their professional and comprehensive process was instrumental in providing us with the best result for our needs."

About Blair & Potts

Blair & Potts was founded on January 4, 1993 by Nancy E. Blair and Arthur G. Potts, Jr., to provide legal services to individuals in the areas of estate planning, trust and estate administration, and taxation of individuals, trusts and estates.

Commercial Loan Corp – Offering Free ‘Property Tax Savings Estimate & Consultation’ for Beneficiaries Inheriting a Home – Keeping Parent’s Low Property Tax Base

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Now that limitations and changes to CA Proposition 58 property tax breaks became active Feb 16, 2021 due to Proposition 19 - popular estate & trust lender Commercial Loan Corp in Newport Beach is offering heirs and beneficiaries inheriting a home from parents a Free Consultation & Estimate of Property Tax Savings - to keep their parent's low property tax base.

This Free Consultation for Property Tax Savings helps evaluate the benefit of a loan to an Irrevocable Trust, specifically for beneficiaries who want to keep inherited property at their parents' low property tax rate - avoiding current market reassessment. This often involves a fast buyout of siblings looking to sell their share of the same inherited property.

Families, beneficiaries, or their attorneys, who want to take advantage of Commercial Loan Corp's Free Consultation for Property Tax Savings are calling the firm's main office at 1-877-464-1066. The firm assists families and beneficiaries by helping them avoid property tax reassessment, and determines how much a family can expect to save in property taxes (on average saving more than $6,000 per year); as well as weighing costs and benefits of a trust loan working alongside Proposition 58 - enabling a buyout of inherited property from co-beneficiaries, while keeping a parent's low property tax base. Considered to be one of California's premier trust lenders, the firm works for families alongside their attorney, accountant or property tax consultant, as many families attest to.

Tanis Alonso, Senior Account Manager with Commercial Loan Corp, describes the firm's estate & trust lending service: "We don't view each trust loan scenario as simply a 'financial transaction.' Nor do we see the home they've lived in for decades as just a 'piece of real estate'. To us, this a 'piece of family history' in the making. And the process a 'family decision', not a 'transaction'. We see our clients as real families that we're assisting, financially and emotionally, not just as clients signing a contract for a trust loan. We enjoy helping people... getting them money when they really need it - and saving them on the cost side in the bargain, with a trust loan."

Ms. Alonso also elaborates on the firm's process: "Besides lowering property taxes the key issue for families is selling, versus keeping, inherited property. By someone keeping the family property, everyone receives more money than if they were to sell the property to an outside buyer. When taking into account realtor and transaction costs of approximately 6.5%, the average trust receives $45,716 more to distribute by using a trust loan to keep property, than if they were to sell the property. Each beneficiary on average is receiving $16,652 more from someone keeping the property, instead of selling it. And the average overall annual property tax savings is $6,043."

Commercial Loan Corp originates loans to trusts, and estates in probate, and helps to maximize the distribution of funds to a trust or estate; allowing beneficiaries to buyout inherited property from co-beneficiaries. When providing mortgages to trusts or estates in probate, the firm helps clients to avoid the re-evaluation of property at current tax-rates - enabling families to retain a parent's low Proposition 13 tax base - by obtaining a Parent-to-Child Exclusion, saving a good deal of money on yearly property taxes.

To get a Free Consultation for Property Tax Savings to establish a permanent, low property tax base; or to receive a trust loan to buyout co-beneficiaries' property shares, and learn more about keeping parents' low property tax base when inheriting family property - California homeowners and beneficiaries can call Commercial Loan Corp at 1-877-464-1066.

Cincinnati Company Develops Ground-Breaking Steam Technology for Sanitizing Amid Pandemic

CINCINNATI, Ohio /ScoopCloud/ -- Bayzi Corporation has developed steam technology needed to quickly fight the spread of viruses like COVID-19 as well as bacteria, fungi, bed bugs and biofilms. They manufacture antimicrobial steam devices that will very quickly eliminate microbes, bugs and also provide a quick way to clean dust and grease. The machines use just water and no chemicals.

The patented line of antimicrobial steam cleaners called SaniZap® safely sanitize almost any surface, leaving no residue, moisture or harmful chemicals. The process is 600 times faster than chemical sanitization, making it ideal for following CDC guidelines that call for frequent sanitization.

"There was so much interest in portable high temperature steam devices due to the pandemic that our team pulled these products from the backburner and has been working hard to make this technology and the products available quickly," said Anu Vissa, CEO of Bayzi.

The portable equipment is available in different models to accommodate a range of facilities and price points. SaniZap-1 and SaniZap-Mini are handheld devices well suited for small spaces and small businesses. The SaniZap-4 is a versatile multipurpose cleaning workhorse on wheels with a lot more power. It can be used at lower steam temperatures with soap or detergent to quickly clean visible dirt and grime and can also be used at higher steam temperatures for anti-microbial sanitizing.

The protypes have been demonstrated in schools, hospitals, and restaurants.

* Chemicals generally reduce or eliminate specific microbes. Steam covers a broad range.

* No fumes, odors, sticky residues, or accumulating residues and toxicity.

* 'No-Contact' method, is self-drying and requires no wiping, reducing waste.

* Reduces cross contamination.

* Allows Increase frequency of sanitizing as recommended by CDC, especially of critical areas.

* Benefits employees, staff and patients/clients, reducing their exposure to chemicals.

* Overall better infection control outcomes for healthcare facilities.

* Green method - safe for the environment.

Savings. SaniZap® can be worked into any sanitizing regimen as addition or replacement to an existing cleaning rotation. Savings include no additional chemicals or towels to purchase, no 'wiping-down' labor, reduced waste, and increased productivity as there is no need to 'wait-out' chemical application.

Mold Inspection Sciences Texas Warns Consumers Against Unlicensed Remediation Efforts Amid Disaster Cleanup

AUSTIN, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- On February 12, 2021, Texas Governor Abbott issued a disaster declaration following the severe winter storm that caused damage statewide. Mold Inspection Sciences Texas recommends that consumers pay close attention to this announcement as it allows out-of-state and unlicensed mold assessment and remediation contractors to obtain temporary registration and to perform mold remediation and material removal on storm-damaged properties.

"Repairs and cleanup have just begun," says Mold Inspection Sciences Texas Chief Operating Officer Mike Marshall. "Texans need to be aware that you don't want just anyone addressing a potential mold issue. You must seek out someone who is licensed and qualified.

"We've seen this happen before. Six, eight, twelve months down the road, state-licensed mold assessors and remediators come back to find 'fixed' properties worse off than they were from the initial damage. Our team specifically is still addressing the same type of issues from Hurricane Harvey in 2017!"

To help keep consumers safe, Mold Inspection Sciences Texas recommends that consumers:

* Start drying out their properties as soon as possible and get in touch with qualified water mitigation professionals if needed.

* If mold is suspected, find a licensed assessment company. Consumers who do not use licensed mold professionals will not be able to receive a protocol for next steps to solve a mold issue. Nor will they be able to obtain a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation proving their property has been deemed safe.

* Utilize the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation to confirm the license status of potential contractors by visiting https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/licensesearch/.

"Mold and water damage are issues Texans continue to face, given our state's recent history with devastation from Mother Nature," Marshall adds, "and people are being taken advantage of."

About Mold Inspection Sciences Texas:

Mold Inspection Sciences Texas - http://www.moldinspectiontexas.com/ - was founded in 2007 by President and CEO Michael Bains with one simple goal in mind: to provide affordable, professional, and high-quality mold inspection and testing services to people across Texas suffering from the nuisance of mold. Over the past 14 years, MISTX has successfully performed and solved thousands of investigations, providing safer and healthier conditions for a wide variety of clients to thrive in.

Co-Living, Perhaps Model of the Future

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Square and Lot, an innovative owner and developer of premium-quality, mixed-use properties in the Washington-metropolitan area, brings an inventive co-living option to Capitol Hill.

In January of 2020, Square and Lot broke ground on the construction of Viva, a 47-room co-living apartment building in Capitol Hill that encompasses 19,000 square feet. Then something happened: two months into construction, COVID arrived and disrupted how individuals live their daily lives. The outlook on co-living quickly evolved and so did Square and Lot. One of their key principles is remaining both malleable and creative to be able to strategically adjust to market conditions and fluctuations. The demand to adapt housing to the shifting world was imminent.

Square and Lot took major steps: outdoor spaces became even more critical and they hired landscape architect Joseph Richardson to transform the rear of their co-living building into a beautiful outdoor oasis with a comfortable living area and kitchen.

They invested to strengthen air quality: they upgraded the HVAC with a whole house HEPA (*Note 1), a mechanical air filter that traps 99% of harmful particles it encounters. Truthfully, being in a co-living apartment building with HEPA and UV light filtrations offers one of the safest living environments one could live in. Square and Lot designed the co-living beds to have dedicated bathrooms.

With 95% of the bedrooms having an en-suite bathroom, Viva boasts limited shared common elements. Square and Lot's organizational priority of building the healthiest and safest housing can additionally be recognized in their selection of fixtures. Flat surface cabinets were chosen to allow for easier cleaning, more refrigeration was added to limit common areas and even electronic locks were added to allow hands-free entry, preventing any spread.

Viva is a new development that takes living in the post-covid world extremely seriously. Leasing for Viva at 331 15th St. NE starts this month in February. The property will be managed by Vie Management, a real estate investment company that represents the future of communal housing and creates unrivaled lifestyle experiences through innovation and a commitment to excellence.

About Square and Lot:

Square and Lot designed, restored and developed 100+ units in various neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. Our asset class includes multi-family, for sale condominiums, affordable housing and co-living facilities.

Vanguard Home Inspection LLC Helps Fight Elder Abuse

FRANKFORT, Ky. /ScoopCloud/ -- Elder abuse in the U.S. is a growing problem, with experts predicting it will worsen as the senior citizen population continues to rise, says Vanguard Home Inspection LLC. One form of abuse is when contractors hired by the elderly fail to make promised repairs or make shoddy repairs in-order to increase their profit margin.

This type of fraudulent practice is presumably predicated on the assumption that the elderly client will "never know" because of physical limitations. As an example, many elderly clients may not be able to get on the roof or in the crawl space to see the results of what they have paid for.

Vanguard Home Inspection LLC is pleased to announce a new initiative to fight this abusive practice. We are now offering FREE inspections of a repaired component, to senior citizens. When a repair is made anywhere in the home, simply contact us with the information about what work was completed and we will inspect it to verify that the work was actually performed and that the correct materials were used. We will inspect the repair according to known standards as understood by the home inspector.

Vanguard Home Inspection LLC was started in 2019 in Louisville, Ky and is now located in Frankfort, Ky. The company was started by Greg McGaha, Ky license #261020, who is the owner and sole operator. Vanguard's motto is Inspecting Houses, Serving People. This Elder care initiative is an example of that motto in practical application.

Greg was inspired by Zig Ziglar's famous maxim, "You can get anything you want, by helping others get what they want." As long as this service can be reasonably rendered without impeding other full inspections for profit, we intend to continue it as an expression of goodwill to our community.

Vanguard Home Inspection LLC - Kentucky License # 261020.

Choyce Peterson Negotiates New 6,500 SF Westport, CT Office for Keller Williams Prestige Properties

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and consulting firm, recently announced the successful conclusion of lease negotiations on behalf of Keller Williams Prestige Properties ('KWPP') (www.kellerwilliamsprestigeprop.com) for a new 6,500 SF office at 276 Post Road West in Westport, CT. Choyce Peterson Vice Presidents Adam Cognetta and Charlene O'Connell represented KWPP in this transaction.

When Stephen Scott, CEO of KWPP, was ready to expand his Stamford-based residential real estate business into the Westport area, he called Cognetta, with whom he and his brokerage team had an existing professional relationship. Scott explained that he was seeking a building with excellent visibility that could offer a flexible working space. In addition, KWPP required abundant parking to accommodate a transient agent team and increased employee count during on-site training days.

After touring buildings throughout the Westport area, and soliciting proposals from numerous landlords, Scott and his team decided on 276 Post Road West. This building had existing conditions which were modified to allow the right mix of training, office, break-out and open space. In addition to negotiating a landlord-funded buildout, Cognetta and O'Connell successfully made a case for the Landlord to expedite renovations of the common bathrooms, building entry and facade which together with an enhanced landscaping program, will give the building a much more contemporary look.

Cognetta commented, "It's been a pleasure representing Steve, Rick and the KWPP team. This project was geared towards optimizing the way their agents work - today and in the future. By working collaboratively and creatively with KWPP we achieved an excellent outcome. Keller Williams is a terrific, long-term fit for the building and the Westport market. They will be at home in this bespoke, functional and modern office."

Scott concluded, "We were thrilled to work with Adam and Charlene on this exciting project. They turned the market upside down and exceeded expectations in every respect to help us achieve our vision. Parking and modernization of the building were critical along the path to success. We are excited to expand our business in Fairfield County and to meet with clients in a terrific new space."

The landlord, GA Family 276 Westport LLC, was represented by Senior Director Adam Klimek and Director William Montague of Cushman & Wakefield.

Jacobs Real Estate Advisors sells Navona @ Live Oak Apartments

SAN ANTONIO, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Lawrence, New York based Jacobs Real Estate Advisors is pleased to announce the sale of Navona @ Live Oak Apartments, a 104-unit Class B multifamily community located in San Antonio, Texas. Originally developed and operated as a Hawthorne Extended Stay Hotel, the property was acquired by Jacobs in 2013 and underwent a repositioning project to convert the property to multifamily use.

"Our extensive research into the local hospitality and lodging markets made it very clear where the opportunity was. This property offered far more value to our investors and partners as multifamily apartments, rather than a hotel," says Sholom Jacobs, CEO and founder of Jacobs Real Estate Advisors.

San Antonio based Implicity Management was ultimately hired to navigate the process and manage the day-to-day operations, and were very successful in the conversion.

As Jody Marquez puts it "It was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have personally had in the rebrand of Navona, from a short-term hotel to an apartment community. Working with Jacobs Real Estate made our success as the visions for the ultimate transformation were shared."

Rebranded Navona @ Live Oak, the multifamily property offers (68) 1-bedroo m floor plans and (36) 2-bedroom floor plans with black appliances, granite countertops and walk-in closets. Community amenities include a swimming pool, fitness center and business center.

J. Michael Watson, Managing Partner for Independence Commercial Advisors, represented Jacobs in the marketing and sale of the asset. Watson also procured the buyer - Austin, Texas based Texas Sagitarius LLC.
