This Is the House That Dean Built
This is the first in a new series I’ve decided to share with everyone called “Dean’s Deal of the Month.” Once a month I’ll be sharing with you the actual real estate deals that I’ve completed, or that I’m in the process of completing. I will take you through the details of each deal and I’ll explain the circumstances behind the deal.
So to kick off the first in the series I want to ask you a quick question.
Have you ever read the funny nursery rhyme, titled “This Is the House That Jack Built?”
It is a progressive little story that tells of a house which is ultimately connected to several other things; animals, people, and events. It reveals mini-stories of each thing it mentions; like ‘the man all tattered and torn’, and the ‘Maiden all forlorn’, and other smaller storylines.
Well the first deal I want to show you is kind of like that. It’s a story about an 11 acre parcel that nobody wanted because they didn’t see the potential in it. When I decided to buy it, folks thought I was crazy, (even my own dad). Well, crazy as I was, not only did I buy it, I did it with no money and wound up building my first house on that property. The house that Dean built and the story behind it will inspire you to do something “crazy” too…like follow your dreams! Watch the video and see what happened…DG
Two years ago this month I self published and released my first book “Totally Fulfilled,” which hit the best-seller list. Below are some comments from people back in 2006 that I thought we’re cool to share with you.
Totally Fulfilled explains my unique “core” approach to optimal results, success and fulfillment in all areas of life. I also started my first blog. (Wow…That seems like eons ago!). I had hoped the blog would become a place for you to visit for support, inspiration and help on your journey towards a more totally fulfilled life and I think we’ve achieved that. Now with Dean Graziosi’s Real Estate Investment Center up and running, there’s even more resources for you to learn and connect. I look forward to hearing from you all real soon!
Hiring a handyman (or enlisting yourself if you have do-it-yourself skills) to go down your checklist and do minor repairs and upgrades can give the overall appeal of your property a huge boost, while simultaneously giving the home measurable equity.
First of all, upgrades, remodels, and repairs add curb appeal to your home and make it much more alluring and attractive to buyers who tour it. But also important is the fact that professional inspectors, mortgage company appraisers, and your buyer’s Realtor will scrutinize the home looking for problems and taking an inventory of assets. They will pay special attention to the fact that you have taken care of small problems and give you substantial credit for being a conscientious seller – which usually mean the whole house is in above average condition – and that could help close the deal faster at a higher price.

Inspiration is timeless
The day before the final edition of my book went to the press I decided to create an additional section. Why? I was online and saw a quote from Dale Carnegie that was so inspiring and so confirming to the way I think that I had to investigate. I did some research on him that led me down an inspirational path. I gathered as many quotes as I could find from Mr. Carnegie that sum up what he was all about. While searching, I also ran across quotes from Benjamin Franklin that I wanted to share with you. The more I searched, the more I was touched by the empowering quotes, short stories and poems that I found. They touched me for one simple reason. You can see that no matter what era they come from, successful people have similar core attributes and beliefs that allow them to excel at higher levels than nearly everyone else.
