6 Tips for Selling Your Home Fast and For Top Dollar

6 Tips for Selling Your Home Fast and For Top Dollar

According to the National Association of Realtors®, more than 4.25 million homes sold in 2011. That's a lot of real estate and such numbers raise the question: How are sellers doing it? "Because individual homes are unique, there isn't one single strategy that works equally well for every property," says Wendy Forsythe, the executive vice president of a real estate company. "The real trick is understanding that today's marketplace is cash driven, quick and highly competitive. Owners who understand their local markets and work with a knowledgeable agent are those most likely to succeed."

In March roughly one-third of all sales were cash, meaning a large number of buyers are not dependent on lender financing, the sale of their existing home or a settlement that might be 45 to 60 days in the future. Instead, they can act quickly and in many cases seek properties which can be bought today and occupied tomorrow.

To ready a home for sale in today's marketplace, Forsythe says owners should consider six basic keys to selling success.

Six Keys to Success:

1) Curb appeal counts. Most home buyers want homes which look great from the outside. It's not just a question of curb appeal - it's about perception. If a home looks good from the street it probably means the property is ready for a new occupant without a lot of cost or hassle.

Buyers tend to pass on a home that doesn't appeal to them from the street-not even bothering to look inside. An experienced local REALTOR® can show you how to generate the most curb appeal with the least cost.

2) A clutter-free home. With the new emphasis on cash sales and speed owners must show homes which are free and clear of clutter. A clutter-free home will make interior spaces look larger and eliminates the need to get rid of stuff when you are in the throes of moving. It makes sense to donate or reduce clutter before a home is placed on the market - not only as a sales tactic but also as a practical step toward relocation.

3) Working condition. Having your home's systems in good mechanical condition is an advantage in today's market. Most distressed homes can't compete when it comes to such basics as working heating, plumbing and air-conditioning. Properties that can readily pass a professional home inspection are often easier to finance, and are generally more appealing to buyers who don't want to face the unknown costs and delays sometimes associated with major renovations.

4) List and negotiate properly. According to Forsythe, "a seasoned REALTOR® can show owners how best to market a particular home according to such factors as location, price, condition and financing. Owners want to work with us because our experience brings value and confidence to a transaction, factors that are enormously important in a changing marketplace."

5) Seek prequalified buyers. While many sales may be for cash, the majority still require financing. It would be frustrating to enter into a sales contract with a potential buyer who ultimately cannot obtain financing to purchase your home - meaning you have lost time - and potentially money - and then you have to start over. When a home is shown by appointment, the buyer should have a pre-qualification letter in hand.

Such letters from lenders are not binding but at least show that the purchaser sat down with a loan officer and has some realistic sense of what he or she can reasonably afford.

6) Distressed properties. Roughly 30 percent of today's home sales involve "distressed" properties - a term which includes short sales and foreclosed properties owned by lenders. You need to consider the distressed properties in your neighborhood when pricing and marketing your home. These properties typically sell at discount, especially in major foreclosure centers and sometimes require substantial repair and rehabilitation. "Home sellers can compete with these offerings," according to Forsythe. "There's no question that a large number of distressed properties in a local market will impact prices, but price is not the only factor buyers consider. While distressed homes work for some purchasers, they're not the right choice for buyers who want homes that offer move-in condition - homes in better shape that can often command higher prices."

While the housing market is just in the beginning stages of a recovery, it's still possible to successfully sell your home by making sure you're catering to the kind of buyers in the market today, and by making sure that you - and your home - are ready to move as quickly as these buyers are.

Brian Groen Joins EXIT Realty

Tue, 15 May 2012 22:30:00 +0000

Today I would like to speak to you about one of our newest franchise owners, Brian Groen, in Menifee, California. Starting a Real Estate franchise in these times in California takes a very well thought out plan prior to making the commitment to open. With California going through one of the most challenging markets in any of our lifetimes, as far as the Real Estate business is concerned, understanding the systems and technology offered by any Real Estate Franchise platform is an absolute must and Brian did his homework.

Actually Brian, owner of EXIT Advanced Solutions Realty in Menifee, found EXIT Realty quite a while before he took the plunge and purchased his franchise. Unlike some, Brian took his time and considered many, if not all, the aspects of running a brokerage business of his own. Concerns like recruiting the right kind of agents, finding the right training to empower and encourage his agents, looking for systems to track and manage his small current office now that also have the ability of scale and be robust enough to work when his office is a multi office corporation with 150 to 300 agents. These themes also had to include an underlying theme of his operation becoming a family friendly, compassionate, contributing member of the local business community.

But probably the single most important reason Brian picked EXIT Realty is because of the way EXIT Realty shares the growth of the office, the Region and the National franchise with each of its associates. Having all of us connected by what essentially is a sharing of all these entities creates a shared financial experience and shared reward system with every agent in the office. Brian told me last week that he had already outgrown his small starter office in just the first few months of operation and will be looking for a larger office shortly.

We welcome Brian and all the new agents he will be bringing into EXIT Realty in the future. I know the kind of person Brian is, what kind of moral character he has and displays in his daily walk and am persuaded that Brian Groen, owner of EXIT Advanced Solutions Realty, will work diligently and become one of the market leaders in his area. When preparation and attitude meets with opportunity the sky is the limit and Brian’s supersonic jet is building up speed on the runway and just about ready to fly….fast!

EXIT Realty Blaine Associates Wins 8 Awards

Fri, 11 May 2012 21:55:00 +0000

EXIT Realty Blaine Associates did something very very special this year. As many of you know Tom Blaine recently passed away after a long illness and Barbara is running the office with the capable assistance of Beverly Bower, the long time manager of the office.

This office is run in a business like and efficient way and the agents think of the office as a family. Blaine is a close family living and working together always striving to accomplish more not only for the office as a whole but for each and every agent lucky enough to work there. Well this year they did something special!

EXIT Realty Blaine Associates took home 4 of the top regional awards for production. The office was the top producing office intotal gross commissions earned. We all know how good that is! EXIT Blaine also won for the Total number of Transactions putting together and closing almost 400 transactions for the year 2011. No surprise is also the fact EXIT Blaine won for the most listings taken, every good manager knows the office with the most listings will most likely have the most sales and the most closings therefore the highest gross commissions! Listings rule!! Another production award was the most number of listings and Per Agent Production. The last regional production award won by EXIT Blaine and associates wasthe highest and most coveted award we give and that is for per agent production. Per agent production meansthe agents at EXIT Blaine were more productive on a per agent basis than any other office in EXIT Realty for the year 2011. Agent making a living is what that means! Agent number 43 in the US top 100 EXIT agents is Beverly Bower, manager of EXIT Realty Blaine Associates. Beverly won for top producing agent in Southern California also.

In addition to all these wonderful well deserved awards the office won 2 EXIT sprit awards for associates who displayed the best of EXIT Realty for the 2011 year and an additional award for participation. All in all 8 prestigious awards were given tothis outstanding office for the 2011 year production. Something that has never been done by anyoffice in precious years.

The agents in this office love to be a part of the family of agents in EXIT Realty Blaine Associates. Next time you are in Apple Valley stop in the office and feel the atmosphere of helping and customer service that office eludes. If only every Real Estate office were blessedwith the foundation given by Tom and Barbara the public would think of RealEstate people in a much better light.

If you’re an agent in the Apple Valley area you cannot do better. You’ll not find an officewith a better management or more honest owners than this office. Do yourself a favor and investigate.

Not Owner Finance Success Story

Wed, 09 May 2012 19:00:00 +0000

People ask me all the time, "If I have bad credit, can I still buy a home?" The short answer to this question is yes, you can. However there is a longer set of questions that need to be asked. One of the obvious is questions is, "why is your credit bad?" I never judge a person based on their credit score, lets face it, life happens. However, if there is not a good story behind it, and they just don't pay there bills on time, or at all, they are not a candidate for Owner Financing. We would not want to put them or the seller into a potential bad situation.

Another question I ask, is how far are they away from being able to obtain a bank loan? This is important for two reasons. One, about 2% of the market is available with owner financing. Second, if they can obtain a bank loan, they will pay a much lower interest rate, saving them sometimes hundreds of dollars a month.

I have a client I just helped in this situation. She was only 15 points away from obtaining a bank loan. However she wanted to move in to a home right away. We found 3 properties in 3 months that fit the area she wanted. During this time, I had her work on the items she needed to fix for her credit report. Finally her score was high enough. Now 30 homes came up that fit her requirements. She now has the home, with the pool, in the area she wanted. And to top it off, her payment is $300 a month less than she was going to pay.

Owner financing is a great way for someone to buy a home, but sometimes with a little patience, more choices can be made available.
