OK I know that many of you frown
down on BPO's, that they are a waste of time and pay no money. But my frame of mind is otherwise different. You see it has forced me to see my market in a whole different view.
Let's start with the basics. Do you know what type of information you need to give the bank for BPO's whether you are doing an exterior or interior? The pictures you need to give? It's like doing a CMA, only some more information is given.
CMA's are done mainly for listings, and think have of us are not listing, we are working with buyers. In 
general we won't do a CMA. Yeah, when I am putting in an offer with my customers we go over the compared solds. But that's it.
Here the banks are having us go to the subject property and looking at it from a different perpesctive. Like an investor sort of speak? What the value is compared to what has sold or to what is listed.
Now obviously this has to be done the right way. I have seen some agents come up with some crazy numbers for a BPO making me think what he or she was taking at the time.
When I am going to a subject property, I am not only looking at the home or condo. I look at the surrounding neighborhod, jot down the parks, the schools, shopping plazas, the nearest highways. It has forced me to go out and pull neighbor info.
I have not only learned of some new areas to shop but also the values of homes, what the deprication is and more. And this is beacuse of doing BPO's. Its forced me to learn, to look from another point of view.
Have you done any BPO's? What is your take? What do you think it has done for you?

Time is running out.... I have been getting lots of calls from 1st Time Home buyers. You see now they are realizing that time is running short if they are going to use the $8,000 Tax Credit.
I got a call the other day from someone who found me from a blog post I wrote about the buyers seminar. She had the print out from here ActiveRain and one from Trulia. She told me that she really wants to buy now but didn't know what steps to take.
She thought I was going to do another seminar, but I did something better.. Met her one on one. We covered all the bases. She filled out what she was looking for and she signed the Buyer's Brokerage Agreement.
I gave her the number to the Mortgage broker to get her Qualified and as soon as we know what she qualifies for we will start her search..
So if you are looking to buy your first home, time is running short if you want to get your Tax Credit. You need to close on your home by December 1st.

An agent works with a buyer for days...they get the buyer pre-qualifed for a loan and off they go in the car. What is wrong with this picture?
Why do some real estate agents short change buyers?
I say this because we take the time to sit with a seller...we prepare to meet with the seller..we provide a consultation..we have them sign documents before we market their property and then market the property.
Too many times I hear agents who discuss buyer loyalty but when I ask questions this is what I get:
- Did you sit with the buyer and explain the process? Well I had them meet me in the office and off we went or they called on a particular house so I met them there!
- Did you discuss the steps in buying a home? No we just took off
- Did you see their approval letter? No they told me they were approved
- Did you prequalify them based on their wants and needs? I know they are looking for a 2 bedroom home.
WOW, OK..lets think about this...think about the way you treat a real estate seller..do you believe in your heart a seller would list with you because they just called you..no you must show your value right? Why not think along the same lines when working with a buyer.
What if you were to spend some time getting to know the buyer's wants and needs.
How about a true consultation..meaning taking the time to get all of your ducks in a row and their ducks in a row with the understanding of their wants and needs and they with the real estate buying process.
BUYERS DESERVE THAT AND MORE!
Many times if you are showing many many homes to one buyer there is a good chance you have no idea what they are looking for and sometimes neither do they.
How about having a buyer sign a buyer broker agreement for the homes you show..for for a day..month or 3 months?
Get to know your buyer and what their wants and needs are. Protect yourself with a buyer broker agreement but more importantly take the time so that the buyer will feel good working with you!

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. Here is a glispe of my evening spent at the Tamarac Sports Complex, which had a wonderful turn out since we didn't get rained out! It happens every year and this year it didn't. Cars were lined up on every street, dancing, face painting.
Here are 2 videos of our evening......

How do I get started in purchasing a home? If I were personally look for a home today...I would do the following things before contacting a real estate professional:
Before I would pick up magazines and start looking at houses regardless of my income, my employment record regardless of how much cash I am working with..I would not assume anything..because I know guidelines have changed..First things first, I would contact a mortgage professional that I trust and would find out what I qualify for in order to buy a home.Because if I don't qualify..I'm not buying!I would gather docs because I know you will need them...I would start with the following items: 2 years tax returns, 3 months bank statements, 1 year's worth of rent checks.I would let my employer know I are buying a house and to expect a letter or phone call of employment verification. It may hold true for a landlord as well so prepare to discuss this with your landlord.If you are in a lease read through your lease agreement and your lease there may be a chance you can break your lease if you purchase a home. If it is not clearly stated in your documents go to your landlord or property manager and ask what are the consequences in breaking the lease now may be the time to buy a home but it may also prove it's not!One thing I believe..you have a better chance in buying a home if you are prepared..if you do some homework in advance..and if you keep control in what is going on around you! Don't be the buyer who said they did it to me!
That means trust the professional you are working with, plan on cooperation and make sure and make good sound decisions...understand the documents...read the fine print but most of all pay attention to the numbers...after all its You and only you paying for that mortgage!
These are things I would certainly do!SEARCH Property Listings
It would be my pleasure to help you!
