THE TOP COMMENTS THAT BRING FEAR TO ANY REAL ESTATE DEAL

 

1. "Out of town" Appraiser. Who probably does not know YOUR market.

2. A "new" Home Inspector. Anxious to start finding issues.

3. The Underwriter needs one more thing "the day before closing"

4. The "Mother in law" is coming to approve the home before they will sign the contract.

5. In Listings it is the "Zestimate" says my home is worth $50,000 more.

6. "Approved" Short Sale. There is no such thing

7. My friends brother's wife is new in Real Estate and I am listing with her to help her out

8. DREAM HOME: more like nightmare.

9. A "Part time" Listing agent.

10. Your buyer wants to see a home from "that agent" who never answers their phone

 

Listing ann Selling Real Estate is a specialty, it takes a full time local agent with experience to do things right. You can not afford to be someone's "trial and error". . The key is to have a Listing agent who goes over the complete listing and selling process with you. When buying you want an agent that will guide you through every step of the Buying process.

You should know though that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST, not just the biggest Real Estate Agent or Broker.

 

 By using a philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process, I can help you find your dream home . 

 

 THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT

 

 1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.   

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.  

 3. HOME BUYERS SHOULD START BY:  Getting a FREE PRE-QUALIFICATION with a local and trusted lender. They will look at your credit and financial picture and let you know what type of mortgage you may qualify for and what your interest rate and monthly payment may be.   

4. HOME SELLERS SHOULD START BYGetting a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS. Learn what your property is worth in today's market along with how ling it may take to sell. If you are ready to sell now, learn what you should ask for it. How much offers may come in at and what the approximate selling price should be. NH Home owners should contact me now.   

 

 

IN SUMMARY the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing a better agent. The secret is that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.

I have no idea why other agent continue to bash "part time" agents.  I know agents with no other means of income than real estate and they sit on their butts all day -- full time!  I know agents that are married, rely on their spouses income, don't have an outside job, consider themselves to be a full time agent and sit on their butts all day.

Scott Godzyk - oh I remember those days when short sale did not go through with one buyer and listing agent started marketing as 'Approved Short Sale'!

Scott:

The one phase I fear most is "the appraiser is from out of town."  I want an appraiser who understands our market, which of course, is unique like no other market(I jest).

Scott,

Bringing fear into the equation only fogs up the transaction and introduces more options to consider when fewer are needed. Number 6.... eventually the short sale has to be approved some where along the line. Make a realistic offer and see what the bank says.
