The housing boom created an illusion of ever increasing home equity. It was difficult to walk away from potential homes that seemed good on the surface, but in reality were either money pits or less than desirable. For the uninitiated, making sense out of the chaos when things start to go wrong is an emotional process that lends itself to the gradual disposal of the rose-colored glasses. The upkeep and maintenance that homeownership requires of the inexperienced homeowner, particularly an older home, is comparable to taking on a new entry-level job with diminishing returns. There is a prevailing chaos amid the turmoil of a broken water pipe during a holiday weekend.

The team needs to establish a policy and procedure which would be a step toward an organizational structure. This process will be a framework that defines formal reporting relationships between the different levels of management. For example, the guidelines can be used as a protocol of the process managers needs to follow to assist their employees through the change process.

When valuing the property, the figures should not be the only issue but also the demographic factors and the services offered. When valuing the property, everything within the property should be assessed. The items inside a house should be valued by the size, the cost and the age of existence, this includes the furniture’s and any other utensils that may be available. For items like the computer, the cost and the make are of importance. The car should also be valued if it forms part of the property and the model and the year of make are of essence. The surrounding of the property should also be put into consideration; the geographical location of the property should be put into consideration (Tucker Sundeep, 2006).

The world is constantly changing in many different ways. Whether it is technological or cultural change is present and inevitable. Organizations are not exempt from change. As a matter of fact, organizations have to change with the world and society in order to be successful. Organizations have to constantly incorporate change in order to have a competitive advantage and satisfy their customers. Organizations use change in order to learn and grow. However, change is not something that can happen in an organization overnight. It has to be thought through and planned. The General Model of Planned Change focuses on what processes are used by the organization to implement change. In the General Model of Planned Change, four steps are used in order to complete the process of change. Entering and Contracting, Diagnosing, Planning and Implementing, and Evaluating and Institutionalizing are the four steps used in order to complete the process of change in an organization. The diagnostic process is one of the most important activities in OD(Cummings, 2009, p. 30).
