Buying your First Omaha Home Part 8 - 06/08/11 06:35 PM
Very seldom will an initial contract be accepted by the sellers. There is almost always something that they like and don't like about your offer. The purpose of negotiation is to establish a contract that is acceptable to both parties. If it isn't, there will most certainly be problems later. The following is a list of things to keep in mind while we horse-trade back and forth with the sellers:
Never accept ANY proposal immediately, no matter how good it may sound! Never negotiate with yourself. You'll furnish the other side with ammunition they might never have gotten by themselves. Don't … (0 comments)

Buying Your First Home in Omaha Part 7 - 06/08/11 10:35 AM
We use our version of the three page Omaha Association of Realtors© contract with various addenda that are important for your protection or are required by the lender as part of their package. We keep these forms on our computers which allow us to write clean, concise documents that are legible and which also limit the number of copies that need to be created. Each time we make a change during the course of the negotiations, that change is annotated on the timeline and logged in your file.
The record for the most pages in a contract that we have been associated with … (0 comments)

Buying Your First Home in Omaha Part 6 - 06/07/11 10:15 AM
So we've narrowed it down... There are several areas that still need to be considered. Schools, crime, shopping, proximity to jobs and any other amenity that you consider to be important for your lifestyle and goals. Let's say that those criteria have been established and this house meets not only those basics but also your family's needs. We will complete an informal estimate of market value based on published data both in county records and the MLS data. We then verify the data with either the principles involved or their agents wherever possible. We put this data in a format that … (0 comments)

The Tour is a formalized version of the search. The area has been narrowed and the selection has been updated. We are armed with specific information concerning the houses that are felt to best meet the needs of you and your family. Specific appointments are instituted for the selected houses. A new book is created with just these houses in it. In addition to the active listings in the book, there will be a printout of neighborhood activity included in the book. This information generally covers withdrawn and expired activity; current pending sales; settled information.
This level of information allows you … (0 comments)

Buying Your First Home in Omaha Part 4 - 06/07/11 10:11 AM
So your loan is underwritten and approved subject only to an appraisal of your new home, your house if any in escrow, and your cash in hand, the hunt begins in earnest...
If new construction fits your profile, even before your loan is approved, we will take some time to register you at all the new home sites that fall into your categories. That way, when the urge bites to go "Look At Houses" you can go day dream in the model homes. We register you with the builders even though your agreement with us covers how we are paid because … (0 comments)

Buying Your First Home in Omaha Part 3 - 06/07/11 10:08 AM
Early loan approval is one of the key elements to developing a strong negotiating position. Time is money to both you and the sellers, especially if the sellers have moved out already or need to move very quickly. Every day that the house remains vacant, the mortgage company continues to collect interest which can add up to a substantial amount of money for the sellers, on top of the costs of the new home they may be in now. We can use this to our advantage, perhaps offering a lower price in return for a quick sale and closing or seeking … (0 comments)

Buying Your First Home in Omaha Part 2 - 06/07/11 10:06 AM
The first and most important part of the process is to determine your specific needs. These include timing for the purchase of the house as well as timing on applying for and receiving loan approval. They are not always the same for each individual. Oftentimes the most important part of the process is setting up the strategy for securing the loan. In the initial meetings the topic of discussion will be your needs and desires and the representation agreement. This is where you interview us as your potential agent and compare our services and approach to real estate with other Realtors©. … (0 comments)

Buying Your First Home in Omaha a 12 Part Series - 06/07/11 10:03 AM
Although the home buying process varies with each of our clients according to their specific needs, most transactions follow the general path that is laid-out here. We'll try to show you what the Sales Broker and their Agents are doing at the same time and how they affect the process.
The stress level of buying or selling a home is equivalent to the stress level of a death of a spouse or a divorce. This was determined in a study conducted by HUD where it was established that buying and selling houses was way up there on stressful events in families' … (0 comments)

Ten Items to be Aware of When Buying a Track Home - 06/07/11 09:59 AM
When buying a brand new builder house, potential buyers often think they can dispense with the need for a house inspector. If it's new, it must be in good shape, right?
Not always true.
New homes can be just as problematic as old ones. In fact, because they haven't been tested by years of use and abuse, they can be filled with problems, especially if the builder used any shoddy practices. Hiring a qualified house inspector before you buy is a major hedge against very expensive surprises.
Then again, a house inspector can be very costly-from several hundred to a thousand … (2 comments)

How to Get Your Home Sold on a Busy Street - 06/07/11 03:31 AM
Selling a house on a busy street requires a determined effort from the home seller and the Realtor to emphasize the many positive aspects of the home. Well-maintained handsom yard with loads of curb appeal to draw in the buyers? Check. Large over-sized lot with possible zoning options for a professional home office? Double Check. According to many professional Realtors with successful experience marketing and selling homes on high traffic streets, these are just a few ways to attract interested home buyers to those busy streets with the double yellow lines down the middle, and reach your goal of a successful … (3 comments)

Prep the Most Important Room in Your Home for Sale the Kitchen! - 06/07/11 02:28 AM
The kitchen is a good place to start removing clutter, because it is an easy place to start.
First, get everything off the counters. Everything. Even the toaster. Put the toaster in a cabinet and take it out when you use it. Find a place where you can store everything in cabinets and drawers. Of course, you may notice that you do not have cabinet space to put everything. Clean them out. The dishes, pots and pans that rarely get used? Put them in a box and put that box in storage.
You see, homebuyers will open all your cabinets and … (0 comments)

The Typical Shortsale Process - 06/07/11 02:23 AM
Buying a short sale could work out for you, but getting involved in the process is a mixed bag. A short sale usually occurs when a person owes more on a house than what it's worth. Many people paid an inflated price for a home during the housing bubble. When home prices crashed in 2008, those people found that they actually owed more money on the home that what they could sell it for. Rather than continue to pay the inflated price for the home, many of these homeowners try to get the lender to agree to accept a mortgage payoff … (0 comments)

Ten Common Mistakes of a Real Estate Seller - 06/07/11 02:20 AM
Selling a home should be like any other business transaction, but all too often sellers make emotional or impulsive decisions that cost them money and time. Choosing the right Realtor to market a property and negotiate the sale is the most important step in the process.
"My friend (or family member) sells real estate."
Friendship alone isn't enough to establish a professional's credentials. Use tough standards when selecting an agent, just as you would when hiring an attorney, a doctor, or an accountant to handle your taxes. A true friend will understand and appreciate that this is a business decision and … (2 comments)

What's with the Games of Car Dealerships? - 06/03/11 11:57 AM
So the past week my wife and I have been looking for a new vehicle.  We found one we liked and I asked the price.  It refused to tell me the price and said what do you want your monthly payments to be.  I'm like thats irrelevant, I just want to know what the price of the car is?  I'm a big boy I can determine weather or not it fits my budget.  Salesmen's reply well if you fill out a form I can save you 1750 on the car.  Still no price.  So I go in and play his game.  … (3 comments)
