The Ups and Downs of Delaying Showings

Bill Gassett is a legend when it comes to blogging about realestate. I seriously can’t think of any blog topic that Bill hasn’t covered yet. Bill talksabout the pros and cons of deferred showings when a new listing goes on the market.Some of the greatest benefits of not letting buyers to see the listing for a few days onceit goes on the market allows some excitement to be built up around the listing and

perhaps it could create a bidding war situation if offers are presented at the same time. These strategy could workwell in a hot real estate market.

Some of the cons of deferred showings could be that not many buyers may appreciate it that they are beingplayed and they may all together turn away from being interested in the property. The answer weather youshould defer showings greatly depends on the current market conditions and most importantly it should bediscussed with the owner in great detail and they are the ones who need to make the call on this.

to worry about home repairs as the new home warranty is still in place for years to come.

Best Way to Sell a House Fast

Lynn Pineda never stops to amaze her readers and because of her fantastic bloggingskills she is well recognized. It is equally important for a seller and a real estate agentsto be able to sell a home fast. One might think that we just need to post a quick ad onthe internet and then the house is going to sell itself. The reality is that real estateagents do a ton of work to complete a sale and to sell it quickly. Lynn explains that

choosing the right listing price is the most important element of selling a house. You can either help yourself bypricing it correctly, or if you end up overpricing your home, then most likely you are going to be helping yourneighbour to sell their home ahead yours.

online and if your home is not showing up in the top results then it means that the chances of selling is muchlower than if you were to hire a marketing pro to create maximum exposure for your listing. 

Keep More Money by a REALTOR®

Jeff Knox is at the top of his game every time when working for his clients and alsowhen it comes to online marketing. When you’re planning selling your home, it’s notrecommended to do it yourself, just like you wouldn’t want to cut your own hair for thebest results.

Owning a website is one thing, but being able to successfully market your home to thousandstakes skills and knowledge of online marketing that will sell your home faster. Whatever you do, make sure youare working with someone who knows how to do online marketing that works.

Best Way to Finance an Investment Property

Paul Sian located in Cincinnati, OH is a top real estate agent inthe area and there is no one who can even catch his shadows when it comes todominating online marketing.

If you are looking at investing in income producing properties you need to be aware ofthe differences of financing an investment property versus an owner occupied home.

Banks make the assumption that if the real estate isn’t occupied by its owner, then it isn’t going to be lookedafter as carefully and perhaps the chances of the owner walking away from it is greater if financial problems ofthe owner would become an issue.

To offset these increased “risks”, the banks will normally require the investor to come up wit a minimum of20%-25% as a downpayment. There are several different ways to put down less money for a downpayment,however usually mortgage insurance is going to be required or a premium on the offered interest rate may beneeded to be paid to the lender.

The source of down payment will need to be verified and they must have been deposited in your account for atleast 60 days prior to closing. This is a very important step to keep in mind as the banks don’t want you toborrow the money as it would impact your debt-to-loan ration if they were to find out.

The bottom line is to be aware that different lending rules apply to financing an investment property and mostimportantly you’ll need to be accurate about figuring out that you have enough cash available to complete thesale.

The Benefits of Using a REALTOR®?

Ryan Fitzerald based in Raleigh, NC is one of the toughest online marketing gurus inthe real estate business that I have aver came across. Ryan had simply obliviated hiscompetition by rolling up his sleeves and not settling for anything less than being thebest REALTOR® online and offline as well.

If you still have doubts that selling a home with a real estate agent will cost you moneyin the overall scheme of things, then you better read Ryan’s blog post as he will set this straight and you’ll onlywish that he could become your real estate agent (unless you are in Calgary of course).

There is an 89% chance that a seller will end up listing with a REALTOR® once they have exhausted doing it ontheir own. Once homeowners realize how much work it actually takes to sell a house they will also appreciate

getting more money for their listing because an average listing sold by a REALTOR® typically nets more than$46,000 when compared to a FSBO. Ask yourself - if you could get that much more for your home, would yostill try to sell it on your own?

A deal isn’t done until the seller has the money in his back pocket. It has had happened many times before whensomething unexpected had shown up at the closing table and all of the sudden the entire deal becamejeopardized. Nobody likes last minute surprises as it usually results with extraordinary consequences that neitherthe buyer nor the seller can afford. Let’s not take any chances and find yourself a knowledgeable REALTOR®

who can guarantee the that the paperwork is always completed to your advantage.  

Busting Myths About Buying a Home

Karen Holt Highland is a long time pro out of Frederick, MD whose experience inreal estate is hard to match by anyone.

There are many facts surrounding a home buying that simply aren’t true. It’s a bit of anoxymoron thinking that a fact cannot be true. But Karen shares 15 facts that shemanaged to disprove and she explains why you shouldn’t be believing everything, even

if you can see it.

One of the biggest disbeliefs that people have when buying a home is that interest rates are going to fall and theyare just going to wait with buying real estate until it actually happens. Well, most likely it isn’t going to happenas the economy is showing signs of great recovered and the Feds have already started to increase rates earlier inthe year. Anyone sitting on the sidelines will quickly realize that while they were waiting to save a few pennies,they have passed on the opportunity to earn some dollars as real estate prices have been already going up again.

I love this one - “if Zillow says that my home is worth this much, than they must be right because they said I cansell it for more than the price you told me”. It is a proven fact that online estimates can be off by as much as 10%in a typical market. A local real estate agent is always going to be more accurate by putting together aprofessional CMA (comparative market analysis). Be sure to check out the other facts that have been busted byKaren.

How Many Days Does it Take to Sell a Home?

Kyle Hiscock is another marketing legend. His clients are luckyto have him on their side when it comes to selling a home as he is the best I’d evercome across in Rochester, NY. Heck, if I were living in his town and wanted to sell, Iwould probably ask him to market my home because he is definitely hard to keep upwith when it comes to marketing a home online.

We have been asked many times - “How long is it going to take to sell my home?”. Well, the quick answer is: itdepends… Certain factors like the current market conditions are going to have a significant impact on the time ittakes to find the right buyer. Every market has three types of market conditions. It could either be a seller’smarket, buyer’s market or when everything is just normal is called a balanced market.

Pricing your home accurately is going to have the largest impact on the length that your home is going to belisted for on the market. If you choose to ignore the pricing advise of your REALTOR®, then you might as wellanchor down and be prepared to be showing your home for a very long time.

Working with a real estate agent who knows his game and has a listing strategy in place is going to be a crucialelement in your selling process. Hiring the wrong person for the job will make or break your plans of selling or itmay take much longer for you to get someone on the hook if you just leave everything up to a chance to workout. 

The Truth Behind a Mortgage Approval

Luke Skar is a true master at online marketing within the mortgage industry. Luke’s been involved withmortgages since 2001 and now he is not only exceptional while helping his clients, but he also thrives when it

comes to SEO knowledge.

comes to SEO knowledge.

Many home buyers are unaware of that while they think that theyalready have a mortgage secured, more often than they should, they fall on their faceswhen they find out that they cannot qualify for the mortgage. After spending a bunch oftime with their REALTOR® and finally locating “the” perfect home, they aredisappointed to learn that they cannot buy that house. Unfortunately the reasons isbecause they only had a pre-qualification done at the bank.

Pre-qualifications only take a few minutes to complete. Quite often they can be done either over the telephone orby a quick online questionnaire without the request of any supportive documents. In essence, this is nothingmore than a conversation between the lender without any commitment coming from the bank.

A mortgage pre-approval shows that the bank had done all their due diligence on you and that you have providedthem with all the necessary documents to prove your worthiness of receiving a mortgage. At this point, all youshould need to have left to do is to go out there and find that perfect home for your family.

The lesson is that when you are at the beginning of your home search, you can get an approximate idea of howmuch you are able to qualify for. This information should get you in the ball park, but by all means, it is not aguarantee that you can start planning a home search on. Therefore, without providing the necessary documents tothe lender, there is no point to look at any houses and waste anybody’s time. All though it may sound verytempting to do, but if you respect your own time and other people’s time, like the real estate agent and the homeowner. Let’s save them the disappointment and get pre-approved before you seriously start looking at anyhomes. 

How to Sell a Home With Tenants

Xavier De Buck is based out of Blackheath, Gauteng. His work ethics and skills in realestate had reached far beyond his continent from South Africa to all the way to the U.S& Canada.

Many landlords are asking whether they should be listing a house for sale while atenant lives there or they should wait for them to move out first? While it sounds

tempting to hang on to that extra cashflow while the tenant resides on the premisses, but having a tenant aroundfor showings could have its own challenges which could deeply impact the final sale price and it could cost muchmore in the long run than what the owner could gain through the few months of extra rental income.

Fortunately there are several ways to make things to go seamless if the landlord wants to hang on to the extraincome while putting the house up for sale.

Obviously the tenant is fully entitled to live there until the lease expires. But at the same time the landlord is alsoentitled to bring potential buyers through the property. Things could get really interesting if the tenant justdoesn’t give a “hoot” about how the property looks. But by helping the tenant out to keep things tidy like payingfor a weekly cleaning service or landscaper could go a long way and the tenant will appreciate it as well. Usuallyit’s the appearance of the home that is the biggest concern, so if you have that part covered, then it’s just a matterof treating the tenant like you would want to be treated if you were in his shoes.

Make sure to provide sufficient noticed to the tenant. Different jurisdictions have different rules about this, but agood rule of thump is to give them at least 24 hours of notice to keep the relationship on the positive side.

Another scenario that could unfold is when the tenant gets all grumpy and fells like they are going to do anythingjust to delay the time when they have to end up moving. If this is the case you may be able to offer the tenant abit of an incentive. Many landlords that I had met offered free pizza to them once a week or even a free month’srent if they kept their end of the bargain up.

And finally if push comes to shove, then sometimes the landlords just needs to bite the bullet and wait for thetenant to pack up and leave. This way the property can be presented in a neutral way without the side effects of abad tenant that would drag down the value of your home.

Are Home Warranties Worth the Money?

David O’Doherty in Clayton, NC does a fantastic job with hisonline marketing to keep buyers and sellers informed on his real estate blog. In hislatest posts he explains what a 90 day home warranty covers and helps to decides if it’sworth considering.

Most home warranties come with certain limitations. For example, if the buyer were todiscover problems with the HVAC system, they would only covers the costs of repairs for up to $1,500regardless if a totally new replacement system would run you in excess of $4,000 - $5000.

Buying a home warranty could cost about $500 on average. So depending on the level of risk that you would bewilling to take, it might be a great thing to consider for the sake of having a piece of mind in place. When oneputs it in perspective of the total purchase price, it’s actually a really small portion of the overall cost of the realestate.

Be sure not to mistaken a used home warranty with a builder’s warranty. New home warranties typically aregood for 10 years and they only cover major structural issues if it were to be discovered. In this case the builderwould be on the hook to remedy the problem and the cost of enabling the owner with benefits of the programshould be bared by the developer.

Preventing Scratches on Floors

Debbie Gartner is also known as The Flooring Girl who provides unbelievable tipsand tricks of everything that you need to know about the floors in your house.

One of the biggest issues when selling a used home are damaged floors. If the carpetsare several years old with kids and pets around, there is a really good chance that thebuyer will want to make some changes to it or would expect it to be in new condition

since they will be paying top dollar for their investments.

Many style of homes come with hardwood floors in them and regardless of how careful you are with taking goodcare of it, it is going to get scratched if you don’t pay special attention to looking after it. The good news is thatpreventing the floor from getting scratched is the best thing that you can do. Debbie goes on to explain thatavoiding wearing certain types of footwear, wearing socks all the time and using the proper cleaning solutionsare the best weapon of choice. There are some other types of additives and special coats of solvents that can beapplied, but by all means it should be decided by a professionals which products to use and how to apply.

Why Buyers Need to be Represented?

Anita Clark is not only a top notch real estate expert out of Warner Robins, GA, butshe is the queen of equipping home buyers and sellers with invaluable information.

Buyers tend to think that they are okay to just wonder out and buy a home though anopen house without their own real estate agent. The misconception behind this train ofthought is that they are expecting to save the REALTOR®’S fee, but what other

important considerations are they not paying attention to that’s potentially costing them tens of thousands ofdollars?

Anita explains that are at least 10 hazards of representing yourself against a seller. One of the most commonpitfalls of dealign directly with the seller’s real estate agent is that they already have a contractual obligation toget the best possible deal for the seller and now they are venturing onto a territory where conflict of interest isguaranteed to become an issue.

The only way to avoid a dual agency situation is to have your own buyer’s agent (just as 87% of all buyers do) tomake sure that someone is advocating on your own behalf. One of the best examples of paying for a mistake iswhen the buyer thinks that they got so much off of the asking price, but little they may know of how overpriced

the property was to begin with, and at the end they may still end of paying more than they should have despitethe perceived discount of the purchase price. 

Be Careful with a  Reverse Mortgage

 Reverse mortgages have been around for a long time and it’s just a matter of timebefore a home owner with a reverse mortgage registered decides to list. Selling a homewith a reversed mortgage is very similar to one with a regular mortgage on it. Howeverthere are some important details that Bill points out in his article that every listingagent should pay attention to. In some cases a home with a reverse mortgage could

become a short sale which could make closing a bit difficult if the seller doesn’t have any cash to bring to thetable. In this case be sure to complete a thorough due diligence while preparing the property to be listed andavoid problems down the road. An experienced agent is what you need to have to deal with special types ofmortgages.

How to Choose the Best REALTOR®

Angela Duong in Tremonton, UT surely does a great job with helping her clients as shealways goes above and beyond to do a great job for them. She provides over the topadvice of all things about real estate and she has taken a special liking to make sure thatwhen someone hires a REALTOR®, they know how to do a thorough job at it.

There are countless ways to “skin a cat” but there are only a few very importantquestions that a real estate agent interview shouldn’t go without. Hiring a local agent is one of the top priorities

to consider when trusting someone with your largest investment. A local expert is going to be able to provideyou with great insights of the community and future developments that may be impacting your decision makingprocess.

Having a good reputation is probably needless to say that is important to remember. In the past it was very easyfor someone to fall off the radar and to have a clean slate eery time they messed up something. With today’stechnology, a quick Google search will most likely prevail every complaint and wrong doing of the individual.Be sure to take an extra few minutes and research some reviews of the local REALTOR®.

One of the telling signs that you are dealing with the wrong person if his online presence is non-existent.Research prevailed that over 90 percent of home buyers begin their search online. If the person that you chooseto enable to find your dream home does not make the effort to have their own website then it’s probably anothersign that you may be dealing with a “dinosaur”.

Standing out from the crowd shows a level of commitment and getting to know the agent though his websitebefore is a real useful way to get a grip on what it would be like working with this guy.

A REALTOR® being flexible with his schedule is always important. Most buyers have time to view properties onthe weekend or after work. Communicating with you in a timely matter will help to avoid frustrations and havingyour questions answered quickly shows the level of professionalism and care.

How to Face Home Buying Fears

Dustin Brohm located in Salt Lake City, UT is one of most passionate person aboutreal estate whom I’d met before. His clients are happy to have him on his side as hebrings a high level of knowledge and work ethic to his game that is difficult to match.

It’s not uncommon for home buyers to be concerned about making one of their livesbiggest decisions. Buying a home comes with many responsibilities and while it’s very

easy to sign a purchase agreement it could have life impacting effects of a poorly made decision.

There are probably dozens of questions going through a buyer’s mind while shopping for a new home. Some ofthem have to do with weather the property is going to cause them a lot headaches if many things turn out to bewrong with it. We’d all seen those TV shows where it took the buyer tens of thousands of dollars to fix a poorlyconstructed home. This a valid concern for any home buyer and it should be addressed head on at the firstopportunity. There are other questions that Dustin point out and provides answers of how to deal with them in hisarticle about “Home Buying Fears and How to Face Them”.
