Top 10 Tips to Getting An Accepted Offer in A Hot Market

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 10:45:14 -0700

I could not resist re-blogging this post. I hope it gives someone a good laugh today.

Yes, the Las Vegas home market is very competitive. Multiple offers, highest and best, waive your appraisal contingency, full of cash buyers ..... I tell my buyers - keep going and don't give up until we get a YES!

Have fun!

Top 10 Tips to Getting An Accepted Offer in A Hot Market

Is your market a little overheated due to low inventory? Bidding wars, grumpy agents, and frenzied activity got you down? Here are my top 10 tips to getting an accepted offer in a hot market:

1. Be flexible, remember a 2 bedroom house is just a 4 bedroom house without the 2 extra bedrooms that you need....

2. Left over 4th of July fireworks? Give your offer presentation a little zing.

3. For your verification of funds, stack twenties on the listing agent’s desk.

4. Instead of a pest clearance, settle for ant stakes.

5. Initial deposit: Your 401K.

6. Remember, it’s not begging until your knees touch the floor.

7. Think outside the box -- why can’t the closing be at the Four Seasons?

8. Tell the seller the home inspection will be a drive by.

9. Start a house petition on change.org. Send invitation to all of seller’s facebook friends.

10. Pre-qualification letters are for suckers -- have your loan officer post a bond.

Another Satisifed Las Vegas Home Buyer

Mon, 02 Jul 2012 12:52:08 -0700

Congrats to Cindy and Glenn Coates on their new (to them) home in the master planned community of Eldorado in North Las Vegas.

Image:FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Here is what they have to say:

After being referred to Cindy Abel [Broker/Owner, Southern Nevada Realty, LLC] while doing online searches of available homes in Las Vegas, she immediately began to send us organized lists of selected homes that would fit our criteria. This list was constantly updated, and Ms. Abel always responded to our questions and evolving needs quickly and professionally. Once we began our search in earnest, our home-viewing appointments were always a pleasure. Ms. Abel is punctual, efficient, well-organized and very personable, and we enjoyed every trip we took with her. She guided us away from some properties that were not in our best interests and kept our search both upbeat and realistic, which is a difficult task. We would recommend her with confidence to our closest family and friends, and we absolutely LOVE our new home that she helped us to find!

Sincerely, Cindy and Glenn Coates

Why Do Realtors Make Such High Commission?

Wed, 02 May 2012 09:47:31 -0700

A re-blog that hit close to home this morning. It seems crazy to be in this business. Luckily, I love what I do .... most of the time. :)

Remember, if you are looking for Las Vegas homes for sale call me: 702-807-3339

Via Cathy Bureau, MBA, (210) 560-1891 San Antonio, TX - Real Estate Broker (www.GreenHomeRealtySA.com):

I was interviewed yesterday for a unique investor project by Mr. Builder. We talked about the viewpoint each of us have toward the other in terms of typical Realtor or Builder behavior. It was fun and funny. One of the things that came out of the conversation for me was an aha moment about why Realtors are commissioned based and why we get paid as much as we do per transaction.

There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those that hunt and kill, and those that prepare the table. It's hard for the food preparers to understand why a hunter gets paid $5,000, $10,000, or more for a single transaction. Mr. Builder told me, "Cathy, when I had a team of marketing people I heard them complain that Realtors make too much money and that they missed something on a contract. They would get pretty darn upset over a small oversight. One day I told my marketing staff, no more complaining. You wouldn't have a job if those Realtors didn't bring you any contracts to review. Any of you are welcome to cross over into the sales side, but you need to understand my expectations."

Work 6 days a week, and be on call for the 7th.

If you are off, dress nice anyway because you may get called into work.

No salary. Straight commission. Eat what you kill.

If you go on vacation, check in once a day on pending contracts.

You may work 50 hours this week and not make a penny.

We're only closed on Christmas Day. If you get a call during your Thanksgiving meal to see a house, even if you are the host, drop what you're doing to show the house.

If you don't make any sales in 60 days go look for another job.

Are there any takers?

What many consumers don't understand about Realtors is that we take on a huge risk of not getting paid, even if the buyer buys a house. We can list a house and then something terrible happens at the end that is out of our control, so we don't get paid. Sometimes it looks easy, but most times isn't. There is the law of averages that makes the difficult easier to absorb; so we appreciate the easy. We aren't employees - we are at the whim of the consumer for the most part. Sometimes we make tough choices that we don't tell our clients about - giving up our kids' baseball games, missing out on family parties and celebrations. Its part of the job as a fiduciary to our clients. It's not just about putting a sign in the yard or entering data into MLS. It's about risk and reward. Thanks Mr. Builder for understanding the difficult nature of our job. It's not all fun and games.

Risk = Reward

DON'T BE A DINOSAUR! LOVE THE EARTH!

I love my Las Vegas home buyers and they love me!

Image: Salvatore Vuono / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

I love working with buyers and especially love to receive kind words like these from a recent Las Vegas home buyer in Solera at Stallion Mountain (a fantastic Las Vegas 55 plus community).

Dear Cindy, This letter is long overdue! First, I would like to thank you for all that you did to make the process go as smoothly as possible. You were a "GEM" from the first moment I spoke to you, (I was in California) Till the day you handed me the keys. Do you remember that you changed your schedule to accommodate my trip to Las Vegas? I only had two days to find a house. You did it. My signing papers sent via email and returning my calls in a timely manner, so many times during my last days in California. I can't express enough what your professionalism meant to me, other than to recommend your expertise to my family and friends. You are the best! My daughter thinks you walk on water. Much Love and success to you. Thank you so much for all that you do.

I would love to speak to you about your Las Vegas home search.
