Unique Flyers for Listings ???

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 10:47:04 -0500

We love to hear about new ideas for producing unique flyers/brochures. We are always seeking fresh approaches for our "product." We tend to use flyers that are quite traditional in look with multiple pictures, MLS numbers, bullet points for outstanding features and of course the usual contact info. Would love to have a more contemporary look. Would you be willing to share with me and others your thoughts and ideas on the subject?

Thanks in advance,

Tropical Storm Fay - Go Away - Five Landfalls is Enough !!

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:46:03 -0500

Well, I suspect that many of you may feel as I do - Fay just does not seem to want to go away on her own. Many of you may still be dealing with the "re-arrival" of Fay today, eith putting up hurricane shutters and for those of you who are realtors, advising clients about getting ready for the storm.

We have a house in St Pete Beach just across from the historic Don Cesar Hotel, but this time we were lucky and my husband was very glad he did not have to put up our hurricane shutters. I hope that it will not intensify much and all will be well. Hopefully those thinking of relocating to the Florida area are not too frightened of our "Hurricane Season."

Best of luck to all of you in dealing with Fay.

Increasing Credit Scores

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:17:59 -0500

Many times Buyers need to increase their Credit Score before purchasing a home.
Below are five simple methods that can help ......

1. Know your credit score and what's on the credit report. Remember to get a copy of the three major reports because information on each one can differ.

2. Pay bills on time! Even paying 30 days late a few times a year can have a serious negative impact on your credit score. Late payments can stay on the credit report for up to two years.

3. Increase the limits on your credit cards. This is probably the fastest way to improve your score and can often be done over the phone.

4. Maintain a low total debt load percentage. Keeping your total debt to approximately 20 - 25 percent of your credit card limit.

5. "Repair" negative items on your credit report. Write a letter to credit reporting agencies to dispute negative aspects of your credit report, late payments etc. The agencies must address anything you report immediately and if they cannot verify the information in 30 days, it must be removed from the report.

These tips will improve a credit score drastically and help you obtain better financing terms when it comes time to make an offer.

Good luck!

MARKETING IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS - SHARE YOUR IDEAS WITH US

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 16:27:31 -0500

You have probably heard that "MARKETING" is the key to a successful business. Marketing is about solid communication and is an essential skill to running a business effectively. Sell your ideas and you will be successful and hopefully make a lot of money along the way.

You can reach potential clients in many different ways - through the Internet, printed ads, direct mail (flyers, post cards, etc.), TV advertising, etc. There are, however, some basic concepts that form the foundation of Marketing of which you need to be aware. Below are a few general tips to incorporate into your business practice.

Be Honest (Clients want to believe they can trust you and rely on you to handle their business. Claims and descriptions about a particular property need to be realistic and believable. Don't exaggerate because they will find out sooner or later anyway.)

Be Accessible (If you advertise a phone number to call or an email to use, then answer that phone promptly and respond to emails in a timely manner. You'll be surprised how many agents do not do this.)

Capture Your Client's Attention (Make your ad, flyer, post card, etc. catchy and eye-appealing, and keep it as brief as possible to effectively get your point across.)

Demonstrate to Clients How You Can Help Them (Consider client's problems and think about how you can help them solve them. Offer attractive solutions.)

Follow Up! (Don't expect the client to contact you or even remember a previous conversation or post card they received promoting your property or your team.)

FREE Home Warranty .....

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:40:12 -0500

Well, unfortunately a Home Warranty is not FREE, but it is certainly worth every penny it costs. Our Home Team strongly recommends always purchasing a Home Warranty for any property you list and sell for a client or that you help your buyers purchase. For those of you who might be new to the business, a Home Warranty is a service contract that helps protect homeowners against the expense of unexpected repairs and replacements of covered major systems and appliances that break from normal use. Many home warranties will also cover the Seller during the entire listing period.

What does a Home Warranty usually cover?
- Electrical system
- Hot water heater
- Plumbing
- Central vacuum system, ceiling fans, ductwork
- Appliances (range, oven, cook top, built-in microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, trash compactor)
- Heating system

It usually does not cover items that are not "built-in", doors and walls, etc. though there are optional warranty "add-ons" available that cover a roof, air conditioning, pools, spas, etc. It normally excludes pre-existing conditions. The cost for a basic one-year home warranty ranges from about $300 to $500. It will give peace of mind to buyers, sellers and of course to the agent involved in the sale.

There are many reputable companies out there. Ask around your office for contact information, and pick one that comes highly recommended.

CONDOS ARE STILL A GOOD WAY TO GET INTO HOUSING MARKET

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:59:36 -0500

Condominiums can still be a good way to get into the houseing market and start home ownership.

All buyers are different and so are their personal preferences and needs. Remember that your buyers may not be able to afford to buy a house, particularly if they are first time homebuyers. Do they want to spend time doing maintenance and yard work? Perhaps not. In some areas condominiums have held their value. This is your job as a realtor to assess wisely. You need to be able to advise your buyers as to the investment potential in your market area.

Helping Your Sellers Do a Safety Check Before Putting Home on Market

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:00:41 -0500

It's always a good idea to work with your Sellers to make sure they have gone through a safety check list to ensure their homes are ready to show and sell in advance of placing them on the market! After all, they will eventually need to address any areas of concern before closing.

Some reminders:

Handrails should be secure and sturdy
Railings on decks should be secure and meet code requirements
Service all heating equipment
Consider installing carbon monoxide detectors
Use anti-skid material under area rugs (You don't want anyone
     falling down)
Smoke detectors should be installed in key locations
How about an automatic night light outside bedrooms
Fire extinguishers handy in kitchen and garage and even on an
      upper floor
Keep medicines and poisons in child secured cabinets
Firearms should be out of site and locked away (empty of course)
Properly store paints, solvents and gasoline in a well-ventilated area
Install ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) in bathrooms, kitchen
     sink, laundry room sink and any ofther source of water near outlets

Good luck !!!

Foreign Buyers? NAR Survey Says Trend is Down for 2008

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:40:09 -0500

Just in case you missed the report . . .

According to a recent report by the National Association of Realtors, the percentage of foreign clients is down by about 6% for the past 12 months compared to the previous year. The report said potential clients often failed to buy because of high property taxes, high cost of properties, and immigration laws prohibiting foreign nationals from living in the US year-round.

As realtors, we need to work with our sellers to ensure that properties we list are priced realistically. In addition think more about how to advertise and what markets you want to target. In Florida, we are still seeing foreign clients look for property (mainly Europeans) but more in the moderately priced homes.

Best of luck to you.

What is a "Hard Money Lender"?

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:42:36 -0500

H A R D M O N E Y

A number of you may have heard this term but wonder just what it means. "Hard money" lenders are individuals with their own private money that is available for other buyers/investors to borrow for investment opportunities. Some of these lenders have limited resources while others may have very "deep pockets." Generally they lend money to individuals and real estate investors on a short-term basis. The purpose of the loan can be for a variety of reasons including purchasing a property or renovating a particular property.

It is not called "hard money" because it is difficult to obtain but rather because it most always has a definite repayment schedule that is not very flexible. With private financing, the loan terms can be quite strict with very low loan to values (LTV's), upfront points and interest rates that are almost always higher than the general market. Terms vary with some lenders only charging interest while others amortize their loans. Most individual lenders are concerned primarily with the value of the property and place less emphasis on the investor's credit score.

It is a great source of money for many Buyers, so Realtors need to be familiar with this resource.

According to Housing Predictor - Top 25 Markets Shake-Up

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:39:00 -0500

As of August 4, 2008 . . . .
According to Housing Predictor
Independent Real Estate Market Forecasts

Top 25 Markets Shake-Up

The once top-rated housing market Yakima, Washington is beginning to run out of gas, and falls from the number #1 forecast position in Housing Predictor's Top 25 markets for 2008.

After years of strong sales and appreciation, the Yakima market is slowing and is forecast to slide over the rest of the year. A ripple effect of tighter mortgage lending standards and increasing inventory is beginning to impact the marketplace.

Biloxi, Mississippi all but destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, is in the number one position. A government sponsored program is helping the area rebuild what was once the second largest casino business in the country to Las Vegas.

The Top 25 with the highest forecast appreciation have the greatest probability of reaching their forecast of the more than 250 local housing markets Housing Predictor forecasts.

Conservative North Dakota with one of the strongest statewide economies nationally, and the lowest subprime mortgage activity in the country, placed three cities on the list. Four states each placed three communities on the list.

Interestingly, the top markets for 2008 are scattered throughout all parts of the U.S. from the west to the east and into the southern states. No particular region of the country was more dominate than another as more and smaller communities based on population made the Top 25, which have less appreciation forecast than earlier in the year.

HELP THEM SELL FAST !

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:58:25 -0500

Work with your homeowners to help them sell fast! This is what you should educate them about.

Analyze the value of the home.
Make sure they understand the current market values and trends and the properties in their specific that would be considered comparables. As you know, most Sellers overestimate the value of their own property because they personalize it rather than take a business-like approach to selling.

Make all necessary repairs in advance
Help Sellers understand that it is preferable to complete any required maintenance work and general repairs before the house is put on the market For Sale. There are many Buyers do not want to deal with fix-ups after the purchase.

"Stage" the house to capitalize on its assets
The very first step is to thank about curb appeal. Make the outside of the home appealing. Cut the grass, trim shrubs, pressure wash driveways, pathsways and porches. You might even need to paint the mailbox and post or replace it altogether. After the exterior is complete, then have them focus on the inside - CLEAN, DECLUTTER, STAGE WITH MINIMUM OBJECTS.

Convince them that they need to sell through a real estate agent, and you're ready to sell.

Best of luck in growing your real estate business.

MAKE THE MOST OF HOSTING AN OPEN HOUSE !

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:43:05 -0500

If you take your valuable time to host an OPEN HOUSE, then make the most of it! Here are some hints.

When potential buyers visit the property, they should be focusing on the details of the property that will eventually capture someone's attention enough to lead them to make that all-important OFFER.

However, there are some basics you and your sellers should address before the day of the Open House. Some of the more important ones are listed below:

Curb Appeal
Make sure the exterior of the home and the landscape are appealing and look cared for. Cut the grass, trim shrubery and sweep front porches and pathways.
Floors
Hardwoods should be shining and carpets clean.
Clutter
Get rid of any unnecessary items (personal pictures, stacks of magazines and bills). Clutter detracts from the home. Put away kitchen gadgets and equipment and leave out a few attractive knick knacks for the Open House.
Stale Smells
Open windows if necessary. Light a few aromatic candles. Remove "kitty litter" if present. Have sellers empty all trash cans. If smoke is present, you might even have to have an HVAC specialist clean the vents.
Lights
Turn on as many lights as possible to make the home appear bright and sunny. Few buyers like homes that are dark and dismal.
Advertise
Take advantage of free websites. Put out plenty of signs and lots of balloons to attract buyers' attention.

Best of Luck To You!

Find out how profit sharing has changed lives.

At Keller Williams Realty, our associates are full business partners - this is one of our core values and the company's exclusive profit sharing program underscores this commitment. Profit share is one significant way that Keller Williams Realty recognizes associates for growing the company. Participating agents receive financial rewards for bringing other productive, talented individuals to the company and then share in the profits generated by the entire office.

Open Books

Keller Williams Realty places a premium on trust - we are an "open books" company. We allow associates access to their market center's financials so they can see firsthand how the company is performing. It is a system where brokers and agents are partners in the profits and everyone works toward maximizing financial success.

Building Wealth

Naturally, when associates share in the company's profits and learn firsthand how the company is performing, a mutual alliance forms that supports success for both the associate and the broker. We feel so strongly about the need for this partnership to fully support the financial future of our associates that we created a Wealth Building Website, where our associates share strategies that teach how to achieve your financial goals. At Keller Williams Realty, the financial opportunities to build wealth, secure a financial future and realize your dreams are endless.

BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME - A STRONG REFERRAL NETWORK

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 15:34:19 -0500

NOTHING CAN BE BETTER THAN A STRONG REFERRAL NETWORK !

WE KNOW ATLANTA AND THE GREATER TAMPA BAY AREA

Our Home Team is most certainly an energetic group of agents who fully embrace the "Team Concept." WE LOVE REFERRALS. Our MULTI-STATE business is built on personal referrals from our clients, family members, neighbors and our ever-widening circle of friends. Our REFERRAL BUSINESS is quite large because those who know us best know that we are committed to providing the highest level of service possible to our clients. People are motivated to recommend us to their friends, family and co-workers because they TRUST us to deliver what we promise.

We all know it is important to know your market area, and it is our EXPERTISE within our two particular market areas of the country that shows our true value as Realtors. We believe that referring business to capable individuals within a particular market is in the client's best interest. Let us take care of your clients with the same EXPERTISE and care you have shown them in your own market in the past. Please call us or send us an email if we can be of assistance as we look forward to doing business with you and your valued clients in the future. Please let us know what your focus area is so that we can bookmark your information for our files so that we can refer our relocation business to you in the future. Our advice to others about building a big referral business is ...

Network with other realtors on a consistent basis.
Communicate ... Communicate ... Communicate. This means not only with the client but also with the referring agent. Make sure the agent knows the status of the business/client he or she has referred to your team.
Be accessible. This means answering your phone promptly and responding to emails. It shows you are passionate about the business and dedicated to providing good customer service.
Build trust with the client and the referring agent.

Dedication, Expertise, Integrity . . . With A Smile!

Best of luck to you,
Carole Lhuillier

What is a "Hard Money Lender"?

According to Housing Predictor - Top 25 Markets Shake-Up

As of August 4, 2008 . . . . According to Housing PredictorIndependent Real Estate Market Forecasts

Top 25 Markets Shake-Up

The once top-rated housing market Yakima, Washington is beginning to run out of gas, and falls from the number #1 forecast position in Housing Predictor's Top 25 markets for 2008.

After years of strong sales and appreciation, the Yakima market is slowing and is forecast to slide over the rest of the year. A ripple effect of tighter mortgage lending standards and increasing inventory is beginning to impact the marketplace.

Biloxi, Mississippi all but destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, is in the number one position. A government sponsored program is helping the area rebuild what was once the second largest casino business in the country to Las Vegas.

The Top 25 with the highest forecast appreciation have the greatest probability of reaching their forecast of the more than 250 local housing markets Housing Predictor forecasts.

Conservative North Dakota with one of the strongest statewide economies nationally, and the lowest subprime mortgage activity in the country, placed three cities on the list. Four states each placed three communities on the list.
