On TRAC! On the Radio Sunday 12 Noon

Let's all get on TRAC !

Sunday June 6th, Margaret Rome will be hosting the live radio program All About Real Estate.

How many Active Rainers will be listening?

Paul Sobwick from www.TRACauctions.com will be my guest. You might remember that Paul, he's the good looking one, auctioned my Historic Church Are You Waiting for Success? last year along with many other properties.

Paul and I will be discussing Accelerated Marketing ... how properties are sold by giving sellers yet another option. TRAC - The Realtor's(r) Auction Company - allows all the auction benefits (no commission, no closing costs, "as is", 30 day settlement) while allowing the real estate agent to stay involved to guide the seller to a smooth closing.

You are welcome to call in with questions or leave a comment on this post for us .

Yes I will have my computer and on line at the radio station.

Margaret, if a property is auctioned with no commission, no closing costs, as-is, why would a Realtor be involved? Is the property owner paying a fee to the listing agent and we're talking about just the buyer paying no commission? I am confused on how the Buyer agent Realtor side gets paid here. Or is there no buyer representation?

Gary, Just the oposite. At auction, the buyer is paying the premium.

Sounds great, Margaret. I'l try to be there - would love to undertsand more about this option. I have not had sellers express interest, but a number of buyers have asked if buyig a home through auction is a good idea, etc.

Thanks for letting us know.

Jeff, As agents,se need to understand the process so that we can give our sellers another option. Will try to explain tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the star lady! I am happy to see you joined my group in Real Town. Hope you have a great weekend.

Dick, You have a good group talking about smart phones..... always have the best advice. Thanks to you, I am doing a hot sync right now!

Hosting a radio show? That has to be really fun! What a great way to get exposure for AR, and yourself. Thanks for the comment. Have fun Sunday.

Chris, Really enjoy the show and have had Active Rain members on. Just last week Richard Gayle was a guest on the show. Hope you are able to listen in.

Darm Margaret!!! If only this show was at 1:00 instead of 12:00. I'm at church and always miss it. I wonder if my Pastor would mind me talking on my cell in the back pew? Do you record these shows?

Bryant,

You mean he won't hold the services early for the radio show? You could listen on your cell if you had internet connectivity and an earpiece. If possible I would do the show at 1pm just for you!! I record them but just on audio tapes.

Margaret......wow I am totally impressed. You go girl!

Pam, I love it when I impress someone. Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you will tune in to the radio show.

I will tune in you again. I enjoy your show. It is well done.

Randy, That's sure is early in Hawaii

It is 6:00am here and I am tuned in. I am usually up by 5am.

Hi Randy, were you able to hear the show?

Aloha Margaret - I heard the entire show. I had to run to a meeting immediately after, so I did not get a chance to leave a comment.

It was educational. There was a company who tried to do an auction in Honolulu, similar to what was described on your show. They failed miserably. Not one sold out of 15 to 18 homes. There were some angry buyers, who thought they won bids on the 4 or so properties that actually got bids. They later found out there was an undisclosed upset price and the sellers rejected their offers. I am sure it could have been handled much better and would have had different results.

One of the complaints I heard from real estate agents was, that their listings that were entered in the auction had the listing agents signs immediately removed from the properties and replaced with the auction companies signs. (Not winning friends with those agents) The other mistake they made was they charged real estate agents $50 to attend, missing an opportunity get many of us there to educate us on their process and to bring in a larger crowd.

It was a first attempt, hopefully they learned from that experience.

That is thinking outside the box. Will have to mill the thought of auction over a bit in my mind.

Margaret, Congratulations on hositng the radio show! I know you educated many Realtors and AR members to all the benefits of accelerated marketing and dealing with your company.

Randy,Thanks for listening to the show. I thought Paul was an excellent guest! That company that you mentioned was destined to fail.

TRAC encourages the real estate agents to participate. Our goal is to sell propeties and this is a good option to offer.

Carol, Glad this idea has you thinking

Pat, Thanks for your support. Loved seeing you tonight at our Happy Hour!
