Hello All,
First of all I would like to wish everyone a very
Happy Diwali and Prosperous New Year. Hope you
and your family have a great time bursting crackers, greeting friends and relatives.
The month of October has gone past and the year
2013 is drawing to an end. We at RE/MAX Metro
have been consistently making efforts to help
people with their real estate needs and guiding
them in the right direction. October was a month where we had more movement
in Rentals than Sale. We have also tried to get good listings from the market
which I am sure will result into Sale or Rent in the coming months.
Markets have been stagnant and to make the most of our time we have started
meeting and visiting the sites of builders which will help us gain confidence as it
is always said “Seeing is Believing”, and only when we have deep belief in our
products can we sell it well. This activity will enable us to always market the right
product to our customers and this will benefit them in the longer run.
As a first step we visited “APPLEWOODS TOWNSHIP” of Sandesh Group. I
was invited to visit the site, along with my team of Business Associates, by Mr.
Sachin and Mr. Ditesh of Applewoods to have a better understanding of the
project. On the site visit we got a proper insight into the advantages of investing
in Applewoods Villas and Apartments. You will come across more details about
the project with pictures in the newsletter.
As a part of the continuous process of learning, I and my team have been attending training sessions given by RE/MAX Gujarat and RE/MAX International very
frequently. This has made us more effective as we have been getting good
results as these trainings have taught us how to handle the clients before and
after the deals.

with care.
HAPPY DIWALI AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!

BA SPEAK
Since last 10 years I am in touch with real estate in a
way, either as an investor or helping my group people
in their investments. And I have joined RE/MAX Metro
just four months back as a Business Associate.
Real estate is a very good business because it is
sound, stable & business without having any risk.
compared to other businesses it requires very less
investment & no risk factor.
Size of the market is very huge in Ahmedabad & now
with the help of technology and network of
RE/MAX you can work anywhere in India & abroad.
Now a days market is slow because overall industry
segment is running very slow. Due to Government Policy & International Recession all over the world Real
estate has also been affected.
At present actual users for 2 & 3 BHK flats are at a high demand with the budget size ranging from 35 lakhs
to 70 or 80 Lakhs.
RE/MAX, a very good international real estate brand helps us very well to present our selves as one of a
leading brand’s associate. Now at the completion of 4 years of RE/MAX in India, people actually got aware
about the brand name and its success.
In this auspicious month I would like to wish all of you a very happy and a prosperous Diwali
Regards
Rajesh Mehta.
2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats at a
High Demand these days
Happy Diwali & a prosperous new year

SOME REAL ESTATE TERMS FOR CLIENTS:
Carpet Area :
When you buy a flat, you actually area on which you can lay
carpet is called as “carpet
area”. Note that builders advertise the property based on other
parameters, but as a buyer this
is what you are going to actually
use for next many decades.
Higher the Carpet area, better
space you get.
Built Up Area :
Built up area is the area which covers Carpet Area and the Walls and doors . A good 15-20% of
space goes into walls and doors and your super built up area is generally 20% higher than carpet
area. Ideally the rate quoted by builders is based on “built up area”.
Super Built Up Area :
A lot of times you will come across a term “Super Build Up area” , which is nothing but built up area
along with all the space common to all the residents of society like Corridors, staircases, parking
area etc . So Super Built up area is higher than Built up area. A lot of builders also use “super built
up area” to advertise the projects which gives an artificial picture of property. Never rely on that
Have A Happy And
Safe Diwali
Happy Diwali & a prosperous new year

RE/MAX NEWS
RE/MAX Holdings Inc : RE/MAX Celebrates The
35th Anniversary Of Its Iconic Hot Air Balloon
DENVER, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The RE/MAX Hot Air
Balloon, one of the most recognized real estate logos, is commemorating its 35th anniversary
this month with celebratory balloon
flights around the world
.
The familiar red, white and blue
RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon made its
debut at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in 1978, when
a RE/MAX Region Owner based in
Albuquerque thought of putting
RE/MAX in the sky. Soon after, the
balloon was featured in the first RE/MAX advertising campaign on television, and was quickly adopted as
the official company logo, appearing with the slogan, "Above the Crowd(®)."
While RE/MAX grew as a company, so did the RE/MAX balloon fleet, and by 1985 there were approximately
48 RE/MAX Hot Air Balloons in the U.S. and Canada. Today, it's recognized as the largest corporate hot air
balloon fleet in the world with 108 balloons in 26 countries on six continents.
"The RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon is an integral part of our company's storied history and has played a significant role in RE/MAX becoming the No. 1 name in real estate. We're thrilled to see the many celebrations of
its 35th anniversary during the entire month of October," said Abby Lee, Vice President, Brand Marketing
and Advertising.
The RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon recently returned to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta earlier this
month. And this past weekend, it appeared at the Carolina BalloonFest in Statesville, N.C., where the first
RE/MAX Balloon was manufactured.
RE/MAX Balloons are part of many community-centered events, including flyovers at festivals, night glows,
school programs, charity fundraisers, RE/MAX office grand openings, parades, music/art festivals and
more. RE/MAX Balloons continue to increase the brand's visibility, and also bring joy and entertainment to
communities around the world.
Happy Diwali & a prosperous new year

8. RE/MAX Metro, Oct., 2013
In 1992, RE/MAX became a supporter of Children's Miracle Network, which also uses a hot air balloon for
its logo. The co-branding of the two organizations features both balloons and creates awareness for the
partnership that has raised more than $123 million for sick and injured children.

NEW RESTAURANT IN AHMEDABAD
H.O.T - House Of Taste, Prahladnagar
Shipra Khanna, the winner of MasterChef India
season 2, Tuesday, 11th Sept. 2013 opened her
own restaurant H.O.T. - House of Taste - in
Ahmedabad. "I believe people in Gujarat love
food like nowhere else. And that's precisely the
reason why I chose this place for my maiden
venture instead of my own town," says Khanna
who hails from Shimla and is now settled in
Mumbai. She would be shuttling between
Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
Along with Indian fusion food she plans to introduce French style cooking fused with Himachali influence
presented to the vegetarian palette of Gujarati's. Under the tutelage of acclaimed French Chef Alain Passard
in Paris, she learnt a lot of cooking techniques that she would be showcasing to the food patrons in Ahmedabad. "I don't want a pseudo elite kind of a restaurant but a place that can be enjoyed by all kinds of people,"
Khanna, 30, says.
Khanna's culinary journey has not been a conventional one. As a 19-year-old bride, she was locked in a
bitter custody battle for her children and faced dowry abuse from her estranged husband and his family.
Overcoming the various odds and challenges before her, Khanna managed to wow the judges on the popular culinary show.
Reminiscing her days back home in Shimla she says, "As a child, while playing with friends we used to make
a drink with marigold flowers. Somehow everybody loved it and it became pretty much my first brush with
cooking." Much later, in a dramatic turn of events after her marriage, Khanna was evicted from her husband's
home and barred from seeing her two small children. She started cooking to escape from the daily miseries
of a hostile home and landed as a competitor in the show, which gave her a second chance in life.
An alumnus of the Lorreto Convent and St Bede's, Khanna's forte has always been fusion food. She is now
waiting for the launch of her book The Spice Route in which she shares her food journey and many food recipes. The star chef wants to take baby steps for now, but she aspires to venture out to other parts of India
soon with her restaurant.
Happy Diwali & a prosperous new year

HOW TO CELEBRATE A SAFE DIWALI :
Diwali is one of the most awaited festivals of the year and is a favorite of
many old and young hearts. One loves
everything about Diwali - the sweets,
the gifts, house full of Diyas, the
firecrackers. And, for me the best part
of Diwali is that you can celebrate it for
almost a week. Yes, at many places its
still done in that fashion. And, its real
fun.
But, Diwali brings with it a lot of concerns too. Environment Concerns,
Safety Concerns, Concern for Animals.
When Diwali is a festival of celebration,
why should such concerns be given a
place. So, my message for everyone is
to try and celebrate Diwali in the most
fun way but with as much consideration
for everything around you.
The day of Diwali records more sound
pollution than all the other days combined together in the year. Pets are
afraid of the sounds made by the crackers on the day. The bomb sounds are
deafening even for the human beings.
Some naughty children do not think of
anything but lighting crackers and do not care if they are on the road or if there are vehicles. There
is always a danger of vehicles catching fire or the crackers harming someone else. And, the crackers release lot of harmful metals into the atmosphere and the smoke from the crackers is always
choking. Well, we definitely do not want a day of celebration to bring so many evils upon us, right?
So, "Say No to Crackers". That would solve all the problems from making Diwali environment friendly to saving our pets. Lets strive for a healthier Earth.
Have A Happy And Safe Diwali
