BUYERS: "LOYALTY PAYS OFF"

Some buyers like to leave their name with three or four sales people. Although it may seem to be to the buyer's advantage to have a number of real estate agents to work with, it is usually a very ineffective approach. The assumption is that many real estate agents will produce more results than working exclusively with one. THIS IS NOT TRUE! YOU NEED THE TOTAL COMMITMENT OF ONE REAL ESTATE AGENT. My advice to you is to find a Realtor whom you feel will get the results you need. Tell this real estate agent that you will work exclusively with him or her ( SIGNING A BUYERS AGENCY CONTRACT IS RECOMMENDED ) as long as you see the effort required to get the job done. In this way, you will have a dedicated real estate agent who will take on the personal responsibility of handling all the details of your home purchase.

REAL ESTATE AGENTS are paid on a straight commission basis. They don't receive a salary. They are not on an expense account. They don't get paid unless they SELL YOU SOMETHING. This is why working with more than one agent is not a good idea. None of the real estate agents know if their efforts will result in any income. If a agent knows that you will be loyal to them that is all the motivation needed to provide, a real estate agent, dedicated to getting the job done right.

PRICING YOUR HOME TO SELL

Get a comparative market analysis.


EXPIRED
Out of range. Up to 35% of all homes put on the market never sell. The prices at which these homes expired represent the overpriced range. IF YOU PRICE HERE, THEN YOUR LISTING WILL ALSO EXPIRE!

CURRENTLY FOR SALE
Represents the upper end of the market. These are asking prices only. They have not been attained in the real estate market. Examine the number of days on the market and if it has been a long time, the homes(s) is/are priced to high.

SOLDS: - TRUE MARKET VALUE.

NEVER SELECT A REAL ESTATE AGENT BASED ON THE PRICE THAT THEY TELL YOU!

A real estate agent has no control over the price the market will allow. SELECT YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT FIRST based on competence of the real estate agent, company and services provided. Don't encourage or allow the real estate agents to " bid the price up", by telling you what they think you want to hear, to get the listing. True professional real estate agents will give you candid feed back and factual information, based on "SOLD PROPERTIES", so you can price within the "MARKET".

BENEFITS TO PROPER PRICING

1. FASTER SALE
2. LESS INCONVENIENCE
3. EXPOSURE TO MORE PROSPECTS
4. BETTER RESPONSE FROM ADVERTISING AND DRIVE BY CALLS
5. INCREASED SALESPERSON RESPONSE
6. ATTRACTS HIGHER OFFERS
7. MEANS MORE MONEY TO SELLERS

REASONS SELLERS USE WHEN OVERPRICING

1. WE'VE MADE IMPROVEMENTS: Improvements should be made for enjoyment, not for sale. You cannot add an item to a home, select it to your style, use it, then expect a buyer to pay the original cost.
2. WE NEED THE MONEY: An owners need for money does not increase the value of the home.
3. BUYING IN A HIGHER REAL ESTATE MARKET: Real estate values are location specific. High real estate values in the destination market/home do not increase the value of your existing home.
4. WE PAID THIS MUCH: Chances are you paid market value. It's not that the price was too high, but sometimes the market experiences subsequent changes. The real estate market is effected by interest rates, the economy and supply and demand.

PRINCIPLES OF VALUATION
1. COST - The amount actually paid for a property plus any capital improvements made since the purchase.... 2. PRICE - The stated amount an owner is willing to accept for a property.... 3. VALUE - The amount a single buyer is willing to pay given a certain set of circumstances.... 4. MARKET VALUE - The amount many buyers would pay a reasonable, willing, seller. It is based on the history of similar real estate recently sold in the area.
