private real estate: Testing Well Water When Buying Or Selling Real Estate - 09/13/08 02:04 PM
When buying or selling real estate, water testing will be required if the home is serviced by a well. Some steps will be required depending on what side of the sale you are on.
If you are a seller, take a water sample at the time you decide to put the property on the market. If there is a problem, it can be corrected before a buyer enters the scene. Their offer to purchase will be conditional on a water test. Testing 3 times a year is recommended to keep you up-to-date on the quality of your family's drinking water. The … (0 comments)

private real estate: Advertising Real Estate For Sale - 09/12/08 04:24 PM
The other day I was talking with a real estate agent. I asked how business was. They responded that it was dead. Nothing was happening because their phone was not ringing.
I then asked how many listings they had. Five right now and working on getting another one in the next couple of days. But nothing is happening right now on any of them. Very few showings and no phone calls.
I decided to take it to another level. I asked what they were doing to market and advertise their listings. I'm glad I was sitting down because I was not … (0 comments)

private real estate: Use Our Experience When Selling Your Home Privately - 08/26/08 06:40 PM
Remember the day that you drove into a gas station, pulled up to the pumps and an old guy came sauntering out? He was in a pair of coveralls and was wiping his hands on one of those cloths the mechanics use. He would walk up to you and say ‘good day, fill-er-up?' You would answer and he would then proceed to pump the gas, clean your windshield then tell you to pop the hood so he could check the oil. He would even check your tire pressure and top them up if necessary.
Now picture pulling into a station but … (0 comments)

private real estate: Why The Internet Will Help The FSBO Market To Continue To Grow - 08/24/08 04:21 PM
The internet is a teenager. In terms of years, it is in its early teens. Although it seems like it has been around for decades, it is still in its early years.
The ‘information highway' has certainly changed the way we live. Online we can shop, book vacations and flights, sell stuff, watch movies, download music, email and find directions to where we want to go. The question is what is there that we cannot do on the internet.
Years ago, the problem real estate owners had selling privately was marketing their property to potential buyers. They could run an ad … (0 comments)

private real estate: Instructions For Showings For The For Sale By Owner Market - 08/24/08 12:28 PM
Someone selling the home For Sale By Owner should take some precautions when showing their home. Most of these are common sense, however a little refresher course is in order.
Arrange your showings for the daytime. If this is not possible, make sure there are 2 adults in the home, Never let children show the home on their own. At least 1 adult should be present, if not 2. When someone books an appointment, always get their name and phone number. They will understand as you might have to call to rebook. If someone knocks on the door and wants a viewing, … (1 comments)

private real estate: Protect Your Investment - Do Not Smoke In Your Home - 08/19/08 03:53 PM
Smoking in a home will do a lot of damage two ways. The smell will become imbedded in the furniture, carpets and drapes. Smoke will discolor walls and furniture.
If the home has a forced air heating and air conditioning system, it will circulate the smoke through the home. Although you think you are confining it to one room, the smoke will be distributed throughout the home when the system is running. Over time the duct work will hold the odor.
Many buyers are turned off by homes that have been smoked in. They cannot stand the smell and also realize … (0 comments)

private real estate: Can A Real Estate Agent Really Get 26% More Money When They Sell A House? - 08/19/08 12:14 PM
There is a post on Activerain where the blogger claims that a real estate agent will get about 26% more for a house than the For Sale By Owner seller will.
Lets do some math. A Realtor sells a property for $300,000 which is market value. Based on the above statement, the FSBO seller will only get $238,095 for the same home. That's a lot of money to give away.
Obviously this statement is not correct. I am currently trying to obtain a copy of the report that makes this claim. How can you even start to compile a statistic like … (0 comments)

private real estate: Another Sad Case Of Some Poor Real Estate Advertising - 08/18/08 06:40 PM
Real estate agents tell private sellers they cannot sell their own home. They won't market the property effectively. Owners need a professional experienced in promoting their sale.
Here is an ad that is currently on a classified website. We have changed the name of the agent and broker to protect the guilty. There are no pictures of the home in the ad.

private real estate: What Is The Difference Between A First Mortgage And A Second Mortgage - 08/17/08 03:02 PM
Mortgages on a property are referred to by a number. For example, you might have a first mortgage on your home. Some have a second mortgage and some even have a third.
This numbering system is simply the order in which they were registered. It is also the order in which they are satisfied in the event they go into default.
Here is an example. The property owner has a first and second mortgage. They stop paying the mortgages. If the property is sold under power of sale, the first mortgage is paid out before the second sees anything.
Considering this … (1 comments)

private real estate: I Have Never Heard Of A Bad FSBO Sale - 08/12/08 05:14 PM
A real estate agents argument to discourage an owner from attempting a For Sale By Owner is that they might get in legal hot water. When it comes to the private seller completing the paperwork, they might not do it correctly.
This writer was an agent for 15 years. I sold over 700 homes during a 15 year period. My best month was 15 firm deals. On a number of occasions I sold 3 homes in 1 day. On one weekend, I sold 6 homes from Friday night to Sunday night. On this particular Sunday, I sold 4 homes.

private real estate: 5 Reasons You Don't Need A Real Estate Agent To Sell A Home - 08/10/08 02:01 PM
By not using a real estate agent to sell a home, there is a big savings. The average price of a home in Canada is $308,000. At a commission rate of 6%, this amounts to $18,480 that you would pay in realtor's fees. Plus add GST in the amount of $924.
5 reasons you don't need a real estate agent to sell a home are:
With the birth of the internet, real estate owners do not need to depend on an agent for the resources and information required to sell a property. The ‘information highway' provides the tools used to market … (0 comments)

private real estate: Make Your Offer Conditional Upon Approval By Your Real Estate Lawyer - 08/05/08 08:56 AM
Buyers and sellers should make their offer conditional on a real estate lawyer's approval.
Whether you are selling privately or using a real estate agent, consult with a legal professional. Although realtors have an understanding of the paperwork required for a real estate sale, they are not lawyers.
Your purchase or sale might require specific wording or a clause that your lawyer will insert in order to protect you. This step can potentially save you hundreds and maybe thousands of dollars.
If you are buying a home through a real estate agent, have them insert a condition that allows a few … (0 comments)
