Why is it So Important to Price a Home Correctly When Selling?

Selling a home is no easy feat. There are many factors to consider for a successful outcome, including finding a good Realtor, repairing or replacing broken things in the home and getting all the home’s paperwork together.

The most crucial step towards selling a home, however, is deciding how to price it. Here, you will you learn the importance of pricing a home correctly along with common mistakes to avoid when putting it on the market.

Pricing your home has a big impact on it selling within your timeframe at a number you are comfortable making off of it. It takes time, thought, and patience to reach the right number for your home. If it is priced accurately then you will have the highest chance of getting what it is worth and you will not have to impede the process by constantly lowering your price.

When pricing your home, you must do your research. It is imperative to know exactly how much your home is worth, so have a professional home appraisal done on your house. Knowing this information will give you an idea of what you may be able to get for it.

Become a Real Estate Agent

Real estate is an exciting career!

The purchase or sale of real estate is the single largest transaction that most individuals will make in their lifetime. Real estate is also one of the key factors in determining the state of an economy. As such, a real estate agent is a respected member of the community and is considered an expert on the current housing market due to their numerous activities involving the listing, selling and showing of properties.

Although the sale of real estate is serious business, becoming a real estate agent can be a fun and rewarding profession! You will meet a number of great people who you will work with throughout your career and you will be consistently learning with every transaction. There are so many new systems out there for upcoming real estate agents to help them become a success and there are many seasoned agents with incredible knowledge, skills and abilities who are willing to teach new agents coming into the business. The best recommendation I can make is that knowledge is power. Be a sponge and learn all that you can. You will best serve your clients and your peers will quickly respect you.

Some of the advantages of becoming a real estate agent are that the hours are flexible so you can start off part-time and even work from home. Selling one property a month can greatly supplement your income and real estate is a profession that you can do for the rest of your life. In fact, the average age of a real estate agent today is 56 years old so there has never been a better time to get into real estate! With all of today’s new technology in the real estate field, the X and Y Generations will fit right in as well!

Cleveland Republican National Convention

Post: Republican National Convention Cleveland 2016! July 18th to July 21st! Find your Short Term Lease here! The Cleveland Republican National Convention is only a short distance away and there is a buzz in the air in Cleveland! This convention is one of the largest political events held every four years. It is where the nation will decide which Republican nominee will run for President of the United States. The convention brings a tremendous number of visitors into the city which is fantastic for Cleveland and its businesses. It also provides a unique advantage to the homeowners of Cleveland since the number of visitors causes a shortage of places to stay while the event is in town. Many homeowners have decided to rent out their properties to visitors during this time to meet the demand. This comes at a high price though with one week rentals often many times more than one month’s mortgage. Again, it is definitely an advantage to homeowners. The convention starts on July 18th and ends on July 21st but if the visitors of this convention are like other convention visitors, many will plan an extended stay and make a vacation out of the trip as well. The rental periods are ranging from one to two weeks so homeowners are preparing themselves. Not only are they making sure their properties are in pristine condition but they are also making arrangements to either be out of town or to stay with family or friends while their properties are rented. Some homeowners are offering shuttle service, continental breakfast, etc. so they may need to stay close to home. The convention will be held at Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. If you are looking for a place to stay, take a look at the Rentals currently available or if you would like to rent out your own home, please Contact us! http://clevelandrepublicanconvention2016.com/

The Importance of Point of Sale Inspections

A city’s Point of Sale inspection is important for both the Buyer and the Seller.

A Point of Sale inspection gives a Buyer peace of mind when purchasing a property because it enables him to feel reasonably certain that the home is safe and sound and meets the city’sminimum housing requirements. The POS also helps the Buyer because it forecasts lending violations that an appraiser may cite. Most of the time, these violations are required to be completed prior to closing on the sale. The POS also predicts home inspection recommendations which the buyer may request to be made. Since all of these corrections can take some time and often a buyer wants to be in a property within 30 days, having the POS inspection completed upfront will aid in an on-time closing. http://www.realestateresource.tv

Ohio Property Disclosure Changes

As of January 1, 2013, the Ohio Residential Property Disclosure form has changed. This change affects most residential properties listed for sale in Ohio. Properties listed in 2012 which are still for sale in 2013 have the option to use the new form. In my opinion, the new changes bring awareness to sellers and buyers regarding issues they otherwise may have been unaware of such as mineral rights which may be sold separate from the property.  http://www.realestateresource.tv

Is Notification Required When Multiple Offers Are Received?

 There is nothing in license law requiring such disclosure. The Listing Agent should explain to their Seller the potential scenarios of disclosing multiple offers though. Normally, it is a good idea to let other agents know when they are in a multiple because typically it will cause the Buyers to put forth their highest and best offer. However, sometimes when a Buyer is informed that they are in a multiple, the Buyer may not want to get into a “bidding war” and may decide to pull their offer or may decide not to write an offer at all. When multiple offers are received, the Seller should decide which offer they want to work with and either accept or counter that one offer. If countered and the Buyer does not accept, then the Seller may decide to work with another offer. http://www.realestateresource.tv

New Agents Should Join a Real Estate Team!

Did you know that 90% of all new real estate agents are out of the business in the first two years due to lack of training and lack of money? Because of this statistic, it is in the best interest of a new agent to join a real estate team to learn all they can while also having business given to them along with their own efforts.  Learning systems from a team will reduce your learning curve and having leads provided willproduce an income quicker than starting on your own. http://www.realestateresource.tv

Lower Inventory in Ohio’s Housing Market is Creating Shorter Time on the Market

Ohio’s Housing Market comparison from January 2013 and January 2014 shows that lower inventory is helping keep list prices up and time on the market shorter on average throughout the State.

School Levies and Housing Values Directly Tied Together

Passing school levies will help school districts capture new home owners and help retain current property owners. There are those who feel that the tax dollars are not being spent wisely on the schools. When levies such as buses for schools are not passed it puts a heavy burden on parents in the school district. When schools face overcrowding, they may need more text books. The textbooks may also be out of date. When the levies are put on the ballot they need to be passed. http://www.realestateresource.tv

Curb Appeal And Top Sales Price Go Hand In Hand!

Realtors rank curb appeal as the most important in selling a home for top dollar. Investing in the homes exterior appearance is the most important project a home owner can invest in. The first thing a buyer notices when they pull up to a home is the curb appeal. The driveway, landscaping,house exterior, windows, garage door,decks, patio, roof and front door need to show well! Buyers start deducting right away when the exterior of the home is not meticulous. When it is meticulous, they cannot wait to get into the home! Some buyers may decide to not even go in if they do not like the curb appeal. This does not mean you overlook the interior. It suggests that you capture the clients interest and make them want to come in the property. Having the home freshly painted, flooring addressed, window treatments, mechanical systems, along with Kitchen and Bath updates are important. The Seller should look at their home as a total package. This is what a person who rehabs homes typically understands. http://www.realestateresource.tv

Senate Passes Flood Insurance Bill

The Senate passed a flood insurance bill that will keep flood insurance hikes in check. The Flood Insurance Bill will be put in place for both residential and commercial properties. The bill will limit premium increases to 18 percent annually on newer properties and 25 percent for some older properties. There will also be a small assessment on policies until everyone is paying full cost for flood insurance. Proponents against the bill suggest that the rich homeowners along the coast are taking advantage of the rest of the country but there are many people that live along the rivers, streams and lakes that will be affected. http://www.realestateresource.tv

Disclosure of a Negative Home Inspection Report

The listing agent has a duty of disclosure when it comes to a negative home inspection report. If a property comes back on the market due to a negative home inspection report the seller needs to disclose the issues. The Seller does not have to provide the home inspection report to the next buyer but does have the duty to update their property disclosure. If the home inspection report is in the listing agent’s possession and the next buyer asks for a copy, it can only be given if Seller agrees to have listing agent provide it. The Seller, if they do not agree with the inspection findings should have a their own professional inspector perform a home inspection and provide it to the next buyer along with the findings from the first buyer’s inspection. There is no law or mandate that states the first inspection has to be given to the next buyer. http://www.realestateresource.tv

Can You Represent A Buyer On A Property You Used To Have Listed?

Yes, you can represent a buyer in the purchase of a property you had listed.  The Listing Agent will represent the Seller.  You still have fiduciary duty to the Seller. Fiduciary duty would be anything confidential between you and the Seller needs to remain confidential. If the Seller told you what they would accept for the property, you cannot disclose this unless the Seller told you it is alright to tell your Buyer. I would always want this in writing from the Seller. http://www.realestateresource.tv

Ohio Broker Found Liable For Failing To Disclose A Negative Inspection

When in doubt we are always told to disclose! A Realtor acting as a Dual Agent fails to provide Home Inspection report from previous buyer. When a Seller of a property accepts an offer and the Buyer does an inspection and provides the inspection to the Seller or summarizes the issues from the inspection, the Seller and the agent have the responsibility to share this with the next Buyer if the deal with the first Buyer does not come to fruition. When an agent knows something about a property that is not disclosed it is their duty to make sure it is disclosed. If the Seller does not want to disclose then the agent should not keep the listing. It is the agents duty to advise the Seller to disclose the issues. It is not for the Seller to ask if it should be disclosed. We the Realtors know what we should be advising our Sellers. http://www.realestateresource.tv

An inducement to a contract that causes a buyer and seller to enter into a contract must be disclosed.

The amount does not have to be but it is good to put it in so there is no discrepancy in regard to the amount. If a Home Warranty is offered by either listing or selling agent, it needs to be in the contract.

Are Lease Purchase Agreements A Good Idea?

The advantages of a Lease Purchase Agreement are that the terms are agreed upon up front between the Seller and the Buyer.
The Buyer has the advantage that the Seller is a Landlord and has to comply with the Landlord Tenant Act, which includes making repairs to the property. The other advantage to the buyer is that if the property were to increase in value the Seller is contractually obligated to sell at the price agreed upon, while the buyer could sell to someone else at a higher sales price. The buyer may also have a portion of their rent go towards their down payment. The amount that is going towards the down payment should be verified by the Buyers Lender to make sure the amount will qualify. http://www.realestateresource.tv
