Just last week, I was working with a client who I was showing multiple houses to.  While showing homes in a particular neighborhood, we came across a Buy Owner listing.  I showed the listing to my buyers, who ultimately put in an offer which was accepted by the owners.  The owners agreed to pay me a commission for bringing them a buyer. 

A week later, I was browsing the Buy Owner website to see the listing that my clients were purchasing and to my amazement, I saw an Under Contract status on the listing, similar to the photo above.  I thought, "What did Buy Owner do to help facilitate this deal?"  Isn't this false advertising because my buyers never saw the listing on the website: BuyOwner.com and only came across the listing because of the sign in the front yard as we were looking at other homes in the same community.  If it would have just been a regular By Owner sign, they still would have wanted to see the property. 

Sellers must BEWARE of this falsified advertising tactic.  Buy Owner did nothing for the seller except take a non-refundable $10,000 fee to list the home on their website in their so-called Featured Section.  I did all of the work working with the clients and helping this deal get to the closing table.  Boy, will this be a great story to explain to my potential sellers that are thinking about going with BuyOwner.com to try and help sell their property.  Does anyone have any similar stories about Buy Owner.com?

How many agents do you know in the business that still think that every day is a Friday and wear t-shirts and jeans all of the time?  I can't believe how many Realtors walk into a closing or business meeting dressed like they just came from the gym or beach.  In South Florida, I know the weather is scorching hot, but we can all at least wear polo shirts and khakis pants.  

On a listing appointment or when we meet potential buyers for the first time, we have about 30 seconds or less to make a lasting first impression!!  So, with less than a minute to grab the attention of your clients and keep them engaged in your conversations, it is ESSENTIAL to look the part of a professional that takes pride in his/her work and is truly dressed for success.  How you appear to someone is the most important trait in building a great impression and hopefully a lasting business relationship.

Send Real Estate Property Listing Email Flyers To Thousands Of Local Realtors For As Low As $20.00 Per Email Campaign.  Impress Your Sellers & Start Email Marketing With Confidence. 

In today's real estate market, it is important to create a catchy property flyer for perspective clients to take with them.  Buyers are looking at 20 or more homes before making a decision of which home to purchase.  It is imperative to leave an impression for the potential buyers, so they remember your property listing and ultimately have all of the necessary information in order to make an informed decision. Here are some important ideas that you should implement on your property flyers:

1. 1.  Create An Engaging Headline Flyer Title As Well As A Themed Header.  From my example, you can see that I provided a Hot New Listing Example which grabs the attention of any buyer enticing them to want to view the flyer.     
2. 2.  Do Not Write A Book Or Dissertation On The Property.  Include some bullet-point features along with a paragraph information.  You do not want to bore your potential buyers or worse, have them not read.
3. 3.  Place At Least 4-6  Bright Photographs On Your Flyer.  Make sure to take bright photos of your listings in the mid day in order for your pictures to be light and bright.  Dark looking photos will result in your listing become stale.
4. 4.  Keep Your Flyer Design & Format Simple.  Make sure that your flyer does not have any crazy fonts or busy color schemes.  Make it easy for a potential client to be able to quickly glance at the flyer and learn all of the most important selling features of the property listing.
5. Spend The Extra MoneyTo Print Only Color Flyers.  Research has show that potential buyers are more likely to look at a property flyer in color than one that is black and white increasing your chances of them remembering your property listing and potentially wanting to buy it.  Also, by using color, you have more options of highlighting key features by using different colors making your listing stand out more on the flyer.
6. Include Your Contact Information Clearly On Your Flyer.  Make sure to include your contact information including your cell phone number, office phone number, and email address allowing a potential client to be able to get in touch directly with you or a team member.  Make sure if you do not answer their call that you immediately call them back or have an assistant call them or else they will forget to call you a second time!
7. Spell-Check All Of Your Text On Your Flyer.  Nothing looks more unprofessional than a flyer that has misspellings all over.  This is a huge turnoff for any client.  Make sure to spell check all of your work before your print your flyers to include in your marketing.
8. Use Professional, Easy-To-Read Font Styles.  It is important to only use basic font styles that are easy for people to read such as Times New Roman or Arial.  Using fancy fonts may be harder to read for potential clients.  
9. Use A Professional Template Or Layout.  You can visit microsoft.com or use a template on Microsoft Publisher if you own this program.  Or, you can design an email flyer at www.WebEmailFlyers.comand be able to get a free-printable flyer to include in your brochure box and other marketing.  
10. Remember That Presentation Is Everything!  Make sure to take the time to make your flyer stand out above the competition.  Remember, most agents simply print out the flyer view from their local Multiple Listing Service.  Elevate your credibility by designing a customized real estate property flyer.  Impress your sellers and potential buyers.

Pre-Qualifying A Buyer In Today's Market

Let's face it.  The real estate market is not what is was just a couple of years ago when buyers were practically banging down doors in order to buy properties.  Times have certainly changed, and buyers are becoming more selective and patient during the home search process.  Today, real estate agents receive a call from a buyer and immediately want to show them property because they are afraid of loosing the potential buyer to another agent.  How do we truly know if these prospective buyers are even worth working with?  It is imperative for real estate professionals to properly pre-qualify prospective buyers in order to make sure that they are truly good buyers and not good liars.  Below please find some questions that are imperative to ask your clients before you start working to help them find their dream home:

1. Are they working with any other agents?
2. Are they pre-qualified for a mortgage? If not, ask them if they would get pre-qualified with your in-house lender?
3. Do they currently own a home or rent?
4. If they own, do they need to sell their home first before moving to the new home?
5. How soon do they need to purchase a new residence?
6. What is their spending budget?
7. What areas/cities are they looking to move to?
8. What type of home are they looking for?
9. How many bedrooms and bathrooms do they require?
10. Do they require a pool?
11. Do they have children and if so what schools are they looking for their kids to go to?
12. Are they any neighborhoods of interest that they would like to look at?
13. Are they looking for more upgrades in their new home or is price more important?
14. Ask for their complete contact information including full name, phone number, email address, mailing address, best time to call/contact.
15. Ask what is their ultimate goal of the new property that they are looking for if they could get the "perfect" home for their family.
16. Finally, ask them to meet with you in-person at your office when both the husband and wife are available. 

All of the above information can be ascertained over the telephone.  But, you certainly want to meet with your prospective clients in-person.  Before meeting with them, you want to provide them with a plethora of information on all of the necessary information that they will need in order to make an informed decision on purchasing a new home.  Here are some things that you should do before meeting with your new clients at your office: 

1. Get immediately on your phone with your lender and provide all of the necessary contact information and brief history on your new buyers, so that your mortgage professional will also know everything about them.  Have your lender ready for a phone conversation during your first initial meeting at your office.
2. If your clients need the proceeds from the sale of their home before they can purchase a new one, it is important to pull all of the necessary comparable sales and research on their home to provide them when they meet with you as well as your customized marketing plan for their own home.  Remember, you want to elevate your credibility.  If they have to sell their home first before they can even think about buying, your meeting should first on how you can help sell their home and then help them find their new dream home. 
3. Make sure to pull as much factual and statistical data on the desired cities as well as community information.  Your clients might not be familiar with the area, and it is your job to make them feel comfortable and know everything they can about the area. 
4. If the family has children, it is imperative to pull all of the school information with contact information, websites, etc. in order to provide your clients with when you meet them.  Again, they might not know the school ratings, programs, and school facts.  Again, by providing them with this extremely important information, you will impress your buyers and they will definitely want to work with you.
5. When you first meet with your clients at your office, you need to be professionally dressed, have water or coffee available for them when arriving as well as have some coloring books and crayons ready if they bring their children.  Always be prepared for anything.  Once they arrive at your office, have them immediately sign the transaction brokerage notice before you start getting into more details on their home search process.  Explain to them how it is required by law that during the first initial meeting with new clients, all real estate professionals must have their potential clients sign a transaction broker notice explaining our rules and duties that we must follow.
6. After taking notes of what the buyers are looking for from your phone conversation, have Multiple Listing Service (MLS) property printouts in color ready to hand to your clients of properties of interest.  Discuss the market that they are interested in including price, square footage, age of homes in the communities, etc.
7. Also, make sure to explain to the seller the standard closing cost fees and taxes that they will be paying once they take occupancy on their new home.
8. Ask your clients when they are all available to preview homes of interest.  Make sure that all decision-makers are present when looking at available homes on the market.
9. Do not take your buyers to preview new homes until they are pr-eapproved for a loan either by your mortgage lender that they will speak with before your first meeting or during the meeting.  Be sure to speak to the lender to find out more on their financing situation and how much they can truly afford.  You want to only show them properties that match their criteria.
10. Patience is a virtue.  If your clients answer all of your questions and appreciate your hard work, then they are viable candidates to work with.  Remember, the market is slow, and buyers are taking their time finding the right home for their families.
    

If you follow my above pre-quailifying techniques and tools, you will work with more qualified buyers and ultimately close more transactions.  Remember, it is your choice of who you work with.  If your buyers are willing to answer your questions and concerns and meet with you in-person to discuss one of their largest financial assets, you are now equipped to properly pre-quailify all of your new clients and dramatically increase your salesmanship and commissions.  Good luck!

Send Property Email Flyers To Thousands Of Local Realtors For As Low As $20.00  Increase Your Showings & Ultimately Your Commissions In Today's Buyer's Market.  It is time to start eflyer marketing with confidence.

Please view: www.WebEmailFlyers.com

We have heard a lot of feedback from the Active Rain community as well as other real estate sources regarding the success of real estate email flyers.  The verdict is in:  In today's real estate market, it is extremely difficult to get more showings on your listings.  Let's face it ... The MLS is not resulting in fast closed sales on property listings like it did in an expeditious manner just a year ago. 

It is time to start web email flyer marketing with confidence!  Web Email Flyers.com is starting to become the leader in real estate eflyer marketing.  We have launched in many states including, Florida, Texas, California, Minnesota, Hawaii, Michican, Idaho, & More To Come.

Web Email Flyersallows Realtors to design a customized property email template and include a customized themed header (over 60 to choose from).  Some themes to choose from are: Just Listed, Just Reduced, Commission Bonus, Beachfront Property, Broker Open, Open House, Commercial Property For Sale and so much more. Real estate agents also have the option of automatically sending a copy to their sellers which will include a message that their agent has sent a property email flyer to the chosen geographic locations. Email flyer marketingalso is a listing tool to show your sellers that you are using the most cutting-edge online marketing technology to help expose their listing to the masses.

A recent National Association Of Realtors' statistic shows that 9 out of 10 of home buyers use a Realtor in the home search process.  With approximately 90% of real estate transactions nationally going through real estate professionals, it is essential for agents to start marketing their listings directly to fellow Realtors through email marketing. 

Sending real estate property email flyers will not guarantee that you will sell your listing.  But, it will increase your showings on your listing, show your seller that you are using every medium available to market their property, provide agents with a printable version of the eflyer, and have a free website of the property flyer to include in advertising. 

It is also imperative to include a very catchy email subject line, because an agent will only be able to see your beautifully designed property email flyer if the subject line entices them.  Remember, email flyer marketingis similar to other real estate marketing like prospective for FSBO's, Expired Listings, etc., the more exposure, the better chance of receiving more calls on your property listing.  If you call 30 FSBO's per day, you will have a better chance of landing more listing appointments.  The same goes with Web Email Flyers.  If you send out tens of thousands of emails, even if a small percentage actually view your email flyer, you will still dramatically increase showings on your listings.  The more showings, the better chance of closing more transactions.

I hope to hear constructive comments and questions from fellow Active Rain members regarding this highly talked-about subject in our industry today.

This past weekend, I showed one of my clients a home that was listed Buy Owner, but also offering a 2% commission on the MLS.  The home's pictures and features looked really nice on the Multiple Listing Service, and it matched my buyers' criteria.  After pulling the last 3 closed sales in the community in the past 3 months, we put in a very good offer.

Unfortunately, the seller, who is emotionally involved, felt it was a terrible offer.  He was rude and upset on the telephone.  I tried to calm the nerves of the seller and to explain the current market trends and even offered to come to his house and show him other closed sales in his immediate neighborhood of properties that sold for around the same offer that my buyers submitted.

It is one of the hardest jobs for a Realtor to have to negotiate directly with the seller in this market.  This seller spent $10,000 with Buy Owner.com and never received any showings.  FINALLY, he listed with a discount company to place his home on the MLS and offer a buyer's agent commission.  He FINALLY came to his senses and is considering my client's offer. 

But, the only reason that the seller is considering the offer is because I kept my composure and have thick skin.  He literally told me that I was unethical because I submitted an offer $30,000 under asking price.  After explaining to him the comps. in the community and how his home backs up to a busy, highly trafficked street, he started to "smell the coffee."  I also calmly asked him when he needed to move.  He responded by telling me that he and his family had to be out of the property in the next three months.  I asked him if he could pay two mortgages until his South Florida home sold, and he said it would really strain his family if he had to cover to mortgage payments. 

Moral of the story is that Realtors need to be on their A Game when dealing directly with By Owners when negotiating the best deal for their buyers.  Remember, patience is a virtue and also understand that you will most likely be helping both sides of the transaction.  Any other Active Rain Realtors experiencing the same situation???
