What do you see?

What do you see in this picture? Yeah the sofa rope swing is nice, but what else? …..I see money…if you ever pull up to a house and see something like this it only means one of 2 things…either youre about to get shot if you knock on the door or youre about to make some CASH. Think about why this person would sell their home? I doubt its because their upsizing….I doubt its because they got a great job offer…I doubt its because a great opportunity came along. The only reason I can think, is that they are about to lose it to foreclosure or someone died. These people love their home and I have to admit that the sofa rope swing is a sweet idea, it just isnt that common. So when you pull up to something and see something strange or our of the ordinary, you need to play your cards right because their might be a big pay day just waiting for ya! Now go out and find a deal and let me know if you need some help with it!
Get the buyers attention!

Thats the name of the game. Get the buyers attention! Once you have their attention, the rest is up to you. If you want to be successful in real
estate, whether that is as an agent or an investor; then you have to get the buyers attention. Some people just put a plain boring for sale sign out in a client yard and put some pictures online. Then they go back to their seller and say, “Im doing everything I can to get your house sold” or the investor says “Ive got a sign out front and its on the mls, why isnt it selling?”. The big different between your average agent/investor and the successful ones is that the successful ones grab the attention of the buyers and sell their houses. The average ones wait it out and blame everything on the economy and the market.
So just take a look at this sign, would you stop? Does it make you curious? Exactly….So stop complaining and start buying and selling some houses!

Really? Thats what most people say when I say “The market is AWESOME!” What do you think? The last time I checked there are more people who need to sell then anytime in recent history and a large number of purchases are being purchased by cash buyers! There are investors everywhere that want a “great deal” and there are a TON, I say again, a TON, of great deals out there. The “We Buy Houses” guys are all over. So I’ll ask you again…is the market awesome? Or are you still going to try and tell me that; “according to the report from CNN” or “you dont know my market…” or “according to my local newspaper, or…..STOP!!!!!
Thats the problem! You are listening to other people! The news only reports the bad on everything, haven’t you noticed??? Take responsibility, take the initiative, and start helping the people out there, that need your help to buy a house, to sell a house, to even stay in their home! There are so many people looking to buy or sell a house, so YES…the market is AWESOME! And you should be too!
Location, Location, Location…not what it use to be…

The most popular real estate slogan that we have always heard is “location, location, location.” Well, folks, there’s a new slogan in town, and its name is “price, price, price.” You can have the most awesome beach house, but if you are overpriced, or just not priced right, you won’t sell in today’s market.
How do you know where to price your house? How do you know that your real estate agent has priced accurately to sell?
Here are a few tips to steer you in the right direction.
Appraisals: Your real estate agent or brokerage will have a list of local appraisers. You can also visit The Appraisal Institute online at appraisalinstitute.org. Simply click on “find an appraiser”. An appraisal costs just a few hundred dollars, but it affords you a clear idea of the amount for which a buyer can be approved.
Comparables: What are homes like yours selling for? Comparables can be found by analyzing homes in your neighborhood, or in nearby neighborhoods, that have similar square footage, upgrades, and amenities. If a comparable home sold for $150,000, there’s little chance you’ll find a buyer willing to pay $180,000 for your overpriced home. You always want to be the least expensive home in the neighborhood, when it comes to selling, not the most! Everybody loves a deal.
Be Competitive: Underpricing a home is a strategy that some agents employ to garner interest and to create a bidding war through multiple offers. A well-priced home is sure to get more showings than a home that costs more than the competition. More showings mean more exposure, which ups the chances of you receiving an offer.
Lender Communication: Lenders will only allow a buyer to borrow up to the amount a home appraises for. That means if you are overpriced, even an eager buyer may hit a lending road block.
Consider Leasing: If you’ve been caught in a depreciating market, you may have more money in your home than you can sell it for at this time. A reasonable option is to lease your home. Your real estate agent should be able to work out the specifics of any contract for you.
How Bad You Need to Sell: This is the real kicker. Some homeowners want to sell, but they don’t need to. That means they can wait out a down market, or even wait for the “perfect” buyer. If, however, you find yourself needing to move across town, or across the state, then you will have to be more willing in today’s market to compromise. And compromise is all about price when it comes to real estate.
Buyers are savvy. Technology allows them to search the local MLS, research the latest trends, and even see how your neighborhood’s prices have changed over the last 30 days. They will know if your home is overpriced. It is best to error on the side of too little than too much in this numbers game. If you price your home right, however, you’re sure to find a ready and willing buyer.

US home prices coming up or going down…

If youre anywhere near the real estate market then you probably know the answer. While some people want to paint a rosy picture for real estate, the truth is that its just not on its way back yet. According to Zillow, US home prices fell 2.6 percent from the third to the fourth quarter of 2010. Thats the biggest drop in nearly 2 years.
And prices over all have dropped 27 percent since 2006. Sure some areas are better than the next, but this is the US as a whole. Not to mention that Zillow estimates that 27 percent of homeowners are underwater with their mortgage.
They are saying they expect to see sales pick up in 2011, but that cannot happen unless some of these buying guidelines are relaxed a little. There are good people that make good money and have good jobs but just cant qualify for a traditional loan, so the only thing keeping this housing market from going to the point of no return is the hard work being put in by our nations dedicated realtors and investors that continue to put in long hours to keep fighting an uphill battle. Its in times like these that investors and realtors are truly earning their paychecks…..

Make your money in real estate..why not?
Posted by TREX on Feb 10, 2011 in Blog | 24 comments
Is this you? Are you telling yourself or have you heard other people say things like “If I only had money I could make some money?” or ” I could flip houses, if I had the money like those other investors?” or “I cant get loans from the bank”…..Let me let you in on a little secret…..are you ready? Dont tell anyone……ok here it is….
YOU DONT NEED MONEY TO MAKE MONEY IN REAL ESTATE……
Yep, thats right…you dont. If you did how would so many people be doing so well at it right now. Most people jumping in the real estate game, weren’t even around in the crazy days from 2000-2005. Most of the investors now are people that jumped into it after that because they got laid off, left their other job, or they were just looking for a new way to make some money. Ive met them all. They all have a different story and they didnt start out with any money, but now they are doing 1,2,3 deals a month. You just have to tell yourself that you can do it and you will educate and align yourself with the right people…so stop saying things to yourself like “I cant because”…and start saying “I can and I will”….and keep that little secret between us.
I found another great article about it and you can read that one to right here. Have a great and profitable day!
