There have been some recent numbers and percentages being released concerning different polls and surveys the National Association of Realtors has conducted.  These numbers work to paint a solid picture of what buyers really do care about in terms of their agent and how they are represented.

From the start you can say with certainty that people are not concerned about how technologically savvy you are or how many neat toys and gizmos you have.  What they do care about is that you can find the right home for them and deliver what they are searching for.

The majority care about you finding them the best home for them, while many also care about the negotiation.  They want you to be able to negotiate the best deal possible for them.

It would be ridiculous to say that Realtors these days are searching down homes for their clients…Sure you set up alerts and notifications of homes that match your buyers criteria and keep an eye out for a good match but gone are the days where an agent will sit down and search the MLS rigorously for your property?  Is it because the Realtor of today is unwilling to do this? No..any good agent will do this if needed. But it is because by the time the buyer contacts an agent they usually already have a stack of printouts from all the search sites of homes that they are interested in.  It then becomes the agents job and duty to find the “right” home for their clients.

I think the mark of a good agent is someone that can provide to the client exactly what they want as well as go way above and beyond their expectations.  Sure your job is to help them find the best home for them, but it is also to make sure that they are not taken advantage of, that they get the best deal possible on the home, that they are actually happy with the choice that they made and that they are excited about the process in general.

Providing the above and beyond service is what buyers really want.  They want to know that you care and that they have your attention.  Once you provide them with that, helping them find the right home is easy!

If you have been exposed to the Real Estate industry in almost any way, shape or form then you have for sure been exposed to the popular marketing tactic of a FREE CMA!

If you are someone that is jumping into the real estate river for the first time then this may be a new concept for you and may be something you really have no idea about.

So what exactly is a CMA?  Well, a CMA stands for “Comparative Market Analysis”.  In short, it is a technical way of saying “What’s the market like where I live”.  Though this is something that most Realtors will offer up for free and many use as a marketing strategy of sorts, you should not overlook the importance of having one done.  Realtors offer them up for good reason.  They provide a solid report on how the real estate market is performing in your particular neighborhood.  These reports can be very short and to the point or could be a 50 page document. They tell you what homes are for sale, what homes have recently sold and for how much and can tell you what your home should sell for today.

A CMA is used to help initially price your home.  It takes into account the surrounding area and the current market performance and can deduct with pretty good accuracy a solid starting point at which to list your home.  These

For example…in simple terms, let’s say in your neighborhood 3 homes exactly the same as yours in terms of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage and whatever else…They are virtually identical in characteristics.  Now let’s say that these 3 homes have all been sold in the last 6 months between $325,000 and $350,000. With that knowledge you can deduct with pretty good certainty that your home would in fact sell for more than $300,000.

Now let’s say that your home has something that none of the other homes have.  Let’s say that your home has an in-ground pool.  We then would have to attach an overall value to the pool and can then adjust our listing price accordingly.  Same holds true if your home is the only home out of the 3 that does not have a pool.  You would then deduct a defined value from the estimated listing price.

The above of course is about as simple as it can get, but it does give you an idea of how a CMA works. It also gives you an idea of why a CMA is so important.  You get a snapshot in time of how your neighborhood is performing in the real estate market today.  You can use this CMA to gauge when the best time to sell would be for you.  Many realtors offer free CMA updates via email for you to track the changes over time and make an informed decision.

But in all honestly, though a CMA is thrown around for free and used by many as a marketing tactic it is actually one of, if not the most important information tools available and should be one of the first items you look at when you are thinking of selling your home.

If you can not pay your mortgage you might want to do something about it sooner rather than later. Here's why:

1. The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 is set to expire at the end of 2012

2. This act says that if you sell your primary residence as a short sale or it is foreclosed then no federal tax is owned on the debt foregiveness, the difference between what you owe and what the bank was paid back after the short sale or foreclosure.

3. In 2013, unless the act is extended there will be taxes owned on homes that are foreclosed or sold as short sales.

4. Do you really think the congress is going to pass anything like an extension of this tax relief during the election season?

So, if you can not pay your mortgage DO SOMETHING NOW. Don't be stuck with losing your home and then still owing taxes on it.

If you have any questions about short sales in San Mateo or Santa Clara Counties, please feel free to contact me.

I am so proud to say that we just assisted another Johnson County KS homeowner seeking to short sell their Shawnee home. 

The loan was an FHA insured with BB&T and frankly, was one of the best experiences I have had in working with a bank/investor on a short sale.  I found it very easy to communicate with BB&T's short sale specialist which made the process run smoothly and to the benefit of BB&T and FHA.

. 

It is refreshing being able to experience a working relationship with a lender on a short sale transaction that went so smoothly and was a "win-win" for both our Sellers and the lender/investor.

• Bottom line...you may have heard of a "deed in lieu" but not understand what this really means for you. (hintonhomes.wordpress.com)

In today’s real estate market situation, selling your home can be tough and stressful at times. But there are better ways that you can do to speed up the selling process of your home in the tough market. Giving attention to simple details, matching colors, and making the room look more appealing can attract buyer's attention and possibly buy your home.

Focusing your attention to simple details such as searching for the tips on how to speed up the process of home selling can benefit you and help you increase the chances of getting buyer’s attention. Some changes in your home need not to be pricey as long as it can definitely add comfort and increase offers to your home.  Starting from rearranging the furniture, you can move the furniture away from the walls. Experts say that this can make the room appear larger and spacious yet this depends on the size and shape of your house.

If you have vacant rooms, adding a colorful table and chair can make a room more appealing and inviting. Giving a room a purpose and adding it with some pleasant décor help buyers see how you optimize and use the vacant room. By this, buyers can develop an idea that will integrate a more appealing and purposeful things to the room when they decide to buy it.

Put good lighting to the room. A room that has a poor lighting can really turn off home buyers. Stage rooms can really look great because of the lighting. The accent you give to the room help create good lighting. Another way to make the room more inviting and appealing is to paint the room with same color as the drapes. Having the color of the room that match with the drapes can create an illusion that the room is larger and gives a fulfilling feeling.

Selecting neutral colors also produce better results. Keep in mind that outdated furnishings can turn off buyers and sometimes they don't appreciate bold colors. These days, neutral colors are not boring anymore. Neutral colors can have underlying tones of color. For instance, beige can have an undertone of pink or tan, and white can have a tone of bluish and peachy color. Keep in mind to use these colors in large areas.

Selling the house in the tough market nowadays needs extra retouch. Creating an attractive appeal and special furnishing touches can surely attract home buyers. Keep in mind that by putting extra effort, your house will look great and you can sell it quickly.

Today I was thinking that if the home owner is not paying the mortgage than most likely the insurance is also gone by the way side. My question is this:

 Will the bank place insurance on the property and if so how much liablity.? 

 Will that protect the home owner,family and guests from injury while living in the property? 

What about when it gets listed and people interested  for some reason need  to enter the property and gets injured? 

 What happens than, who you go after? Just thinking out loud

I've lately been having many friends and clients receiving certified mail from their "lender" (but it actually seems to be from the govt) saying they are qualified to get a lower rate through the HARP program.....that it will be easy and all they have to do is fill out a few papers. These are owners that have never had a late or missed payment as well. So far, I havent heard of ANY of my clients getting this lower rate very easily-and when it has come back from Freddie or Fannie, it is declined saying no real hardship. (They arent supossed to even have a hardship, just looking to refi an underwater mortgage.) Then, they have been advised to actually MISS one payment and then they will get the lower rate. And this is NOT the case....then it has snowballed into back and late payments, and leaving these poor borrowers (who never were in distress in the first place) struggling to negotiate to get any type of refi program qualification from Freddie or Fannie!!!! And to keep their home! Anyone else out there hearing similar stories? Am I correct in thinking this is terribly wrong?? Cassie

There is a $1600 difference between what B of A will give the second and what the second deed of trust wants. The buyer is willing to pay this but our negotiator says Bank will not approve this. We suggested that the buyers agent pay this and get reimbursed from seller concession but still we are told no go. Any ideas?

Kevin and Fred discuss buyer's agents that simply aren't getting the job done.

USA article last week indicated Arizona will be out of the woods regarding short sales and reo properties with one year.

We normally have 45,000 for sale in Maricopa County...today 19,000. We close over 9,000 homes a month. Inventory is less than 4 months.

Folks, as you may know, Borrowers (Sellers) are often required to make a cash contribution to the Investor or Mortgage Insurance Company in order for the Short Sale to be approved.

There are several reasons why the Borrower may be asked to do this:

1. They are not late on their payments.

2. They have a good credit score and are current on their bills.

3. It’s an investment property.

4. A contribution is required in order to Waive the Deficiency.

5. They have cash on hand and/or large retirement fund accounts.

This is by no means a comprehensive list but you can see the trend.

Recently, one of my Sellers was required to make a $10,000 cash contribution in order to avoid a possible deficiency judgement in the future. The Sellers had no money but were current on their payments and it was an investment property.

Our course of action was to:

1. Negotiate as best we could to get the amount lowered or removed.

2. Try to get the investor to agree to a promissory note instead of cash at closing.

3. Ask the Buyer to pay the cash contribution.

4. See if the Sellers could borrow the funds.

Unfortunately, none of these worked. So we had to revert to plan B, place the property back on the market and negotiate a new deal where the Buyer would pay the $10,000 Cash Contribution for the Seller. This is added to the purchase contract where the distribution of closing costs goes.

It took all of 3 days to find a Buyer agreeable to this. Now we simply place a $10,000 “Cash Contribution For The Lender On Behalf of the Seller” on line 104 of the Buyer side HUD-1. Then we place the $10,000 on line 404 of the Seller side HUD-1 as “Cash Contribution To The Lender”. Then we just add the $10,000 to the payoff amount to the Lender.

Done deal. Fully disclosed and approved by the Lender. And my Seller will avoid any future Deficiency Judgement on an investment property without having to miss any payments. Heck their credit score may actually go up!!! Sweet. Any questions?

Are you under water on your Florida mortgage?

In today’s real estate landscape buyers are often hesitant and reluctant to really make that final decision.  A lot of times they get pressured into a decision.  Sure they may find a house that they really like and are kind of on the fence about it.  Then they start to feel pressure from what their family thinks, what their parents think, what their friends think and worst of all what their agent thinks they should do.  The truth is, a professional and reputable agent will be able to give their opinion and yet stay out of the decision making process.  A good Realtor is able to give them the best and most informed information a buyer needs in order to make the decision for themselves without the agents influence.

A common story these days is that a buyer is pressured or talked into purchasing a home that someone else thought would be perfect for them. Then 3 months down the line they realize that they don’t really like the home and now are somewhat trapped in the situation.

I think buyers, especially first time homebuyers feel as if they might upset people.  Whether it be another family member or even their agent.  The truth is that it shouldn’t matter.  This is your home, your purchase, your mortgage and needs to be your decision.

I think a lot of buyers once they get deep in the process are afraid to walk away.  The truth is there is nothing wrong with walking away. Sure there are contractual limitations and time periods in which these decisions need to be made, but none the less the buyers and even sellers are given time to walk away from the deal.

As a Realtor in the Charlotte area it is my job not just to sell homes, but more so make sure my clients are happy with their decisions and happy with the options they have and guidance I have provided.  I want my clients to understand that the “Due Diligence” period is their time to enforce their decision, make sure that it is and will be what they want it to be, get whatever inspections and so forth that needs to be done and make sure they will be happy with their decision.

As an added buyer protection for my clients I have recently started offering what is called the “Love It or Leave It Guarantee”.  If one of my buyer clients decides that they do not like their home and have made the wrong decision,  as long as it is within 90 days of closing I will resell their property for FREE.  This means I will not take a commission on the transaction.  However, a commission would still need to be paid to the other party’s representative, but you would not pay me a dime.

Buying a home is a HUGE step in life and one that needs to be celebrated and enjoyed.  A buyer needs to feel confident that they made their own decision and that it is a decision that they are happy with.

Short sale Birmingham Michigan Tip #58, understanding the short sale parties!!!, Mike Sher (248) 644-4700 x 242 Max Broock Certified distressed property expert.

Often short sale sellers and short sale buyers get confused about “how many cooks are there in the kitchen”. 

·       A buyer can’t understand how they write a full price offer on a home and yet 60 days later the bank counters above the list price.    

·       Or, a seller who was told that the short sale was approved by the bank (servicer) and then 30 days later FNMA the “Investor” denies it.  

·       Sometimes the listing agent tells the buyer’s agent that the short sale was approved with certain terms and after the buyer writes that offer, the bank comes back with completely different terms.

·        Another common issue is that the servicer tells the seller that they will get full deficiency release but a week later, the Mortgage insurance company refuses to close without a seller signed promissory note.  

·       The biggest concern is why are all of these issues taking SO LONG to come to the surface.

As illustrated on this chart.   Bank of America, like many servicers are agents to an investor and sometimes to a mortgage insurance company.  So the Servicer is not a principal but a middle person. Much like the listing Realtor is a middle person to the seller, the buyer’s agent, buyer’s lender and the buyer.

Step1.  The listing agent and the Servicer, like Bank of America,  try to broker a deal that all parties can agree to, sometimes even before they have an offer.  We do this through negotiations where both agent and servicer present cases on what each of the terms should be and why.

Step2.  Once that is agreed upon, the listing agent offers those terms to the buyer’s agent and the seller.  If countered, the servicer and listing agent negotiate another settlement.  Once agreed by the servicer, seller and buyer.

Step3. Servicer sends the approval to the investor and/or mortgage insurance company

Step 3B.  If there is more than one lien/loan on the home, the listing agent will simultaneously negotiate that file as well.

Step 4. Investor will accept, deny or counter the file.  Each of these outcomes requires further negotiation.  Even an acceptance by the investor may still need negotiation if the terms are unreasonable to the seller.   More negotiation is often needed at this phase.

Step 5 once approval is agreed upon, the buyer gets his/her financing and as long as the home appraises, the sale should be fine.  

It is critical that the realtor negotiation the short sale has a clear understanding of the process and the parties of the transaction. That realtor has to have a proven track record of closing short sales.  Ask for references and proof that the realtor has closed dozens of short sale before listing your home with them or writing an offer on their short sale listing
