Key Questions to Ask Potential Real Estate Sales Associates - 10/15/11 08:56 PM
1. How long have you been selling real estate in my neighborhood? 
Ideally, your agent will have a few years of experience selling homes in your neighborhood and have a good grasp of current market conditions.
2. Is your sales associate working individually or as part of a team? 
It is quite common for agents today to work in teams as a way of offering clients a more complete customer service package. If a listing agent has a team working on your account, make sure you understand the experience and the person who will be your day-to-day contact.
3. How – and … (3 comments)

Home Buyers and Sellers find real estate agents as the most useful information source. - 10/15/11 08:52 PM
The more technologically advanced home buying becomes, the more it remains the same.
According to the 2009 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers from the National Association of REALTORS®, home buyers find real estate agents as the most useful information source.
They may access the Internet more often, said 76% of home buyers in 2008, but they also went to real estate agents for information (68%.)
This year, buyers needed more help. Inventories were higher across much of the nation, requiring more time to sort. For example, in 2001, buyers spent 7 weeks searching for homes, while in 2009, they spent … (1 comments)

Selling Your Home - Negotiate by Planning Ahead - 10/01/11 09:31 PM
Negotiate by Planning Ahead
In negotiations, you have to know what your bottom line is, because the offer will usually be less than your asking price.  You may have more than one offer to compare. The highest priced offer may not be the best offer if you are asked to make costly repairs or contribute to the buyer's closing costs. 
To avoid surprises, work out several potential scenarios wit your listing agent, so that you will be prepared with a response when an offer comes in.  Your real estate agent should be able to provide an estimate of your closing costs, … (5 comments)

Selling Your Home - When the Offer Comes In / Buyers often want to test the seller - 10/01/11 09:29 PM
When the Offer Comes In
When an offer comes in, have your real estate agent contact the buyer's agent to find out as much as possible about the buyer and the buyer's needs.  You want the agents involved to have a rapport.  Your agent will need to get as much information that will enable you to respond positively to the offer and still keep your bottom line intact.
Buyers often want to test the seller, and make offers below asking price. However, if the offer is close enough to accept, don’t sign right away. Delay the acceptance for a few hours.  … (1 comments)

Selling Your Home - Raise your home’s value in the marketplace - 10/01/11 09:25 PM
Raise your home’s value in the marketplace
Buyers pay less for homes with negative associations such as a busy street, poor condition, unappealing drive-up, or prison-like bars on the windows.  They pay more for attractive locations, good schools, curb appeal, cleanliness, storage space, and well-done updates, among other attributes. 
Ideally, you want to have time to sell and not be pressured by job transfers, divorce, foreclosure, or other vulnerable situations.  If the buyer knows there is pressure behind your sale, he or she may use that as an advantage in negotiations, regardless of how well you've prepared the house.  Keep your … (0 comments)

Selling Your Home - Always Keep negotiations pleasant! - 10/01/11 09:22 PM
Always Keep Negotiations Pleasant
Some buyers may assume they have the advantage because of the number of houses available, and they may behave overconfidently. Stay cool, because you’ll be able to get a great deal when you buy your next home, too. The shoe will be on the other foot because you'll likely recoup any losses you may have incurred on the sale of your home, by being able to buy at reduced prices, too. 
Be patient.  While stressful, expect negotiations to go back and forth until the contract is amended to both the buyer's and your satisfaction.  Trying to “just … (2 comments)

This blog is dedicated to the Rockland County, NY. Real Estate Market. My Real Estate Blog provides fresh perspective on our market activity. Real Estate is not just about selling or buying properties; it is about communities, people and families. I go above and beyond what is traditionally expected of a REALTOR. I am your source to Rockland County NY Real Estate information. Traditionally, REALTORS were always the people to ask about what was happening in a particular community, since REALTORS are intimately involved in the places they live and work. I love our communities I love the villages, the towns, the schools, the restaurants, the parks, the people! And I know what's going on, because I am connected to the people and places in the communities I serve. So I would like to be your resource for real estate and community information. I will be posting my own analysis of the local real estate market, based on my expertise and experience in these markets, and I'll also be posting information and analysis of local events and happenings. Remember: The relationship between a home buyer or seller and their Realtor is based on trust, shared goals and understanding. I strive to continually improve and to do this I listen and take the needs and wants into consideration.
