Home Staging Tips for A Faster Sale

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 10:41:21 -0800

1. First Impressions Roll out your carpet for potential homebuyers by sprucing up the entryways. Welcome mats, planeters filled with beautiful flowers, and clutter-free foyers set the stage.

2. Sell the space, not your stuff! Remember the goal of a successful showing is to make a prospect feel at home- like it's theirs, not yours. Put away all your personal collections. Less is more: open up your space so prospects can see they're buying.

3. Paint and elbow grease works wonders. New paint and a thorough cleaning will give you a "bang for your buck." Remember netural walls are your best bet when staging a home for sale. Home Depot has all the right shades to make your home inviting. Check out www.homedepot.com for fun tools and netural colors.

4. Go with the flow. Arrange furniture for easy traffic flow. Considering a peice of furniture at an angle, such as a desk or couch. Angles add intrest and can create a open feel.

5. See the light. Arrange window treatments and move lamps to dark corners, so that natural light comes through the room. Brighter is better, and it will make your rooms look larger.

6. Go green. Live plans can add decrative flair, without spending much. Plants and cut flowers have a way of lighting up your room.

7. Don't forget the outdoors, espically this time of year. If you have a deck, porch or patio, clean and replace worn cushions. Bring new life into your deck with a fresh finish. Home Depot has a variety of deck stainging and sealing products.

8. Make the kitchen sparkle. De-clutter the countertops by removing, food processors, toasters and other items. If you have a breakfast table or counter, put out table settings and place mats, napkins and dinnerware.

9. Warm up an empty home. If your home is vacant, consider renting furniture. Ask your real estate professional for advice, based on your home's features and selling points.

Owning a Home is Still The Best Investment

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 09:46:45 -0800

Benefits of Owning Your Own Home The Best Investment
As a fairly general rule, homes appreciate about five percent a year. Some years will be more, some less. The figure will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, and region to region.

Five percent may not seem like that much at first. Stocks (at times) appreciate much more, and you could earn over six percent with the safest investment of all, treasury bonds.

But take a second look...

Presumably, if you bought a $200,000 house, you did not pay cash for the home. You got a mortgage, too. Suppose you put as much as twenty percent down - that would be an investment of $40,000.

At an appreciation rate of 5% annually, a $200,000 home would increase in value $10,000 during the first year. That means you earned $10,000 with an investment of $40,000. Your annual "return on investment" would be a whopping twenty-five percent.

Of course, you are making mortgage payments and paying property taxes, along with a couple of other costs. However, since the interest on your mortgage and your property taxes are both tax deductible, the government is essentially subsidizing your home purchase.

Your rate of return when buying a home is higher than most any other investment you could make.

If you are moving to a home for the first time, you are going to be very pleased with all the new space you have available. You may have to even buy more "stuff."

Home Selling Tip

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 14:48:30 -0800

Getting Your House Ready to Sell Introduction - Emotion vs. Reason

When conversing with real estate agents, you will often find that when they talk to you about buying real estate, they will refer to your purchase as a "home." Yet if you are selling property, they will often refer to it as a "house." There is a reason for this. Buying real estate is often an emotional decision, but when selling real estate you need to remove emotion from the equation.

You need to think of your house as a marketable commodity. Property. Real estate. Your goal is to get others to see it as their potential home, not yours. If you do not consciously make this decision, you can inadvertently create a situation where it takes longer to sell your property.

The first step in getting your home ready to sell is to "de-personalize" it.

Home Sale Tips

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 14:23:24 -0800

Here are a few tips to help prepare your house for sale:

Clean everything thoroughly. Ask a friend to help you assess your efforts-especially in sensitive areas such as odor removal.
Put out clean towels, new soap, a nice tablecloth and fresh flowers.
Don't be at home during a showing or open house. Your absence will put buyers at ease so they'll feel free to linger and ask questions.
If you do stay, be polite, but let your sales associate do the talking.
Don't apologize for the condition of your home.
Make sure kids and pets are out of the house.
Unclutter all areas of your home to create an impression of spaciousness and plentiful storage space. A great way to clear away clutter and make money at the same time is to hold a yard or garage sale.
Nothing makes a home look newer faster than a fresh coat of paint. Neutral colors such as beige, white, off-white and gray have a broad appeal to prospective buyers. These colors suggest newness and cleanliness. It's a good idea to stick to neutrals when making any improvements prior to selling your home.

1031 Tax Exchange

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:40:24 -0800

1031 Exchange
A Profitable Niche for REALTORS®

Created by the I.R.S. in 1990, section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows taxpayers, with the aid of a Qualified Intermediary, to sell investment or income property solely for the purchase of other "like-kind" property within 180 days and to defer the capital gains taxes normally associated with such a sale. In essence, the taxpayer is exchanging one income property for another and deferring the gain in the process.

Known as a 1031 or a tax-deferred exchange, this strategy can be utilized again and again, allowing taxpayers to continue to defer gains throughout their lifetime and to accumulate more and more quality real estate.

With a 1031 Exchange, taxpayers can also consolidate, diversify, or convert the nature of investment properties in preparation for relocation, retirement, or even setting up heirs to inherit gain-free properties in the future. With a little planning, the 1031 Exchange can be a perfect tool for acquiring an ideal retirement home or setting up an inheritance for one's children.

By learning the basics of 1031 Exchanges, you can enhance your value as an advisor to your clients. And here's the best part: there are specific marketing strategies loan officers and real estate agents may utilize together to attract clients who will benefit from these transactions.

Manage your tasks

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:33:59 -0800

Managing Your Tasks
Simple Steps to Improve Your Productivity

Have you ever noticed that some of your most innovative thoughts have happened at the oddest times? The reason for this is that your brain wasn't occupied with your ongoing "to do" list, so it was finally free to explore new ideas.

If you want to do more creative thinking, then you need to establish a system for organizing your tasks. Begin by collecting them in an in box. What should you do with the items once you've accumulated them? According to David Allen, the best-selling author of Getting Things Done, the first step is to ask, what is it? Is it actionable? If you can't act on it, then put it into one of three categories: reference, such as a noteworthy article; someday-maybe, which is a task that you might do later; and trash. The filing principles we're discussing here work equally well with manila folders and a circular file, but in our example we'll be using Microsoft Outlook.

Many of us use Outlook's tasks function, but for some the list has degenerated into an "amorphous blob of undoability", according to Allen. He suggests organizing Outlook tasks using categories. For tasks that require no immediate action, but might happen eventually, produce a category called someday-maybe. Create each task in this category with a potential start date and a scheduled reminder. If there are items that should be referenced, you can file them in an appropriate folder on your hard drive or in a file cabinet. Remove trash as soon as you can.

If the item is actionable, you will have to decide on the next step. This step will either be to do it, delegate it, or defer it. If a task can be handled in 2 minutes or less, Allen says simply do it. It will take longer to file and retrieve it later.

If you can delegate a task, do so. Outlook gives you the option of assigning a task to somebody else, setting due dates and priority, and sending the task to a recipient in your contacts list. It will also notify you when the task is reported done. You can file this task in your new Outlook category, waiting for.

If you can't handle a task immediately, Allen suggests deferring it to a category where it can be done. Examples include: @phone, if you have to call a client; @home, if you need to mow the lawn; @office, if you need to prepare a presentation, etc. If a task has to be done at a specific time on a specific day, put it in the Outlook calendar. Don't forget to set reminders.

Of course you will have projects that can't be handled as simply. Any task that involves more than one step should be filed in the task manager under projects. David Allen suggests that on a weekly basis, you should review all tasks listed under projects and ask yourself, "What is the next action?" This will ensure that you continue to make forward progress.

Selling Your Home? Tip of the Day – Organize the Garage

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 10:17:28 -0800

Do you ever find that you're having trouble pulling your car into the garage because you have so much stored in there? Clean it up by storing everything you can at a helpful relative's home or a rented storage unit. This way, your garage area will appear larger, and when it comes time for you to move, you will be more organized.

Selling Your Home? Tip of the Day – Clean the Carpets

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 10:13:43 -0800

When you are ready to list your home, it's always a good idea to have the carpets cleaned. A clean home will always sell faster, and you should accentuate the fact that you take care of your home. Leave a few pairs of shoes just inside the front door to imply that you are meticulous about the appearance of your house!

Selling Your Home? Tip of the Day – Paint the Front Door and Entry Way

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 10:11:56 -0800

A fresh coat of paint will always help sell the house faster, but if you can't afford it, try this instead; paint the front door and, if needed, the entry area round the front door. If you don't have any matching paint around to use, see if there is a plate fixture or some other item you can remove. Take it to the paint store to obtain a paint color that matches.

Selling Your Home? Tip of the Day – Scope Out New Developments

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 11:20:59 -0800

When you're selling your home, one of the biggest competitors is the new home development in the area. Visit these developments to size up your competition and get ideas on how to beat them at their own game! Help your home to have the same appeal as the new homes by accenting similar attributes, while pointing out the benefits your home may have that the new homes do not. You'll also get a good idea of what the price of your home should be, based on what the new homes are selling for.

FORECLOSURE INFO

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 12:05:49 -0800

Debt forgiveness in foreclosure or short sale no longer taxable
Normally when a creditor forgives a debt or part of a debt through either foreclosure or a "short sale" the debtor-borrower will receive an IRS form 1099 showing that amount and it will force the borrower to pay income tax on that amount. For example, you owe the lender $450,000 and the lender agrees to a short sale by forgiving $100,000 and accepting $350,000. The lender will then send you a 1099 for $100,000 and the IRS expects you to pay income tax as if you earned the $100,000. This bill, which has now been engrossed, will exclude this tax from income for all those being foreclosed upon since Jan. 1, 2007. (H.R. 3648)

Selling Your Home? Tip of the Day - Clean or paint appliances

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 08:02:15 -0800

Appliances should be clean at all times. If your kitchen appliances have broken knobs, replace them. If your stove is green, your dishwasher is gold, and the trash compactor is black, have a professional come in and paint them one matching neutral color. This is much less expensive than buying all new appliances, and it will add dramatically to the "salability" of your kitchen!

TOP RETIREMENT LOCATIONS

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 14:07:48 -0800

When it comes to the most popular retirement spots, you know many of the usual warm-weather suspects. In fact, a recent Harris Poll confirms that California, Florida, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Oregon are the most popular places that those aged 62-plus would choose to live. Even if you don't practice real estate in those hotspots, be prepared for an influx of retirees. Earlier this year, Bizjournals.com did a comprehensive report on the hottest retirement destinations and found some surprising results. Urban destinations making the top-ten list included Portland, Maine; Youngstown, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Knoxville, Tennessee. Top small-town destinations included Gardnerville Ranchos, Nevada, Pahrump, Nevada, Del Rio, Texas, Brevard, North Carolina, and Ocean Pines, Maryland

Selling Your Home? Tip of the Day – Bake Cookies

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:40:28 -0800

Keep a package of ready-made cooking dough on hand. Pop a few cookies in the oven just when a hot prospect is expected to arrive to view the home. The smell of freshly baked cookies will conjure up a lot of great memories! Try to trigger emotions that will work toward the sale of your house.

Selling Your Home? - Tip of the Day - Make A Checklist

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:03:41 -0800

Make a checklist for the whole family to review any time a Realtor is bringing someone to look at your home. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just something to remind you to do all the little preparatory tricks to get your home in order before it is shown. Get everyone involved. Even young children can participate in getting the house in tip top shape. When your home sells, you can all be proud that you played a part!

Selling Your Home? Tip of The Day - – Paint Walls a Neutral Color

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:48:52 -0800

If your home is decorated in dark or unusual colors, you will scare off a lot of potential buyers. It will be worth your while to paint your walls a neutral color, such as off-white. If you're not up to painting your entire house, at least paint the areas that make the biggest impression, such as the entry/foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom. Also, use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to clean off some of those dirty spots around door handles. Sometimes just scrubbing away those little spots makes the room look fresh again!

Selling Your Home? Tip of the Day – Clean Up Oil Spills

Richard Dmochowski, ABR, CRS, e-Pro, SRES (ERA Hemlock Sales Agency) — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 08:55:37 -0800

First impressions are always critical, and your driveway is one of the first things a buyer will see. Here's a quick tip that may be the solution for your cement driveway: try Drano or any high powered liquid drain cleaner and sweep those oil stains away! Remember: use caution and read all manufacturers' warnings before you begin this task.
