chandler: 3 Effective Ways to Use Video to Get Clients - 10/02/17 11:08 AM
Did you know video is one of the most effective ways to get clients?
 
If you’re only using video to showcase listings, or if you aren’t using it at all, you’re missing out.
 
Many agents don’t use video because they find it intimidating.  They worry they don’t have the right equipment or they won’t be able to edit the video once it’s shot.
 
The good news is you don’t need any special equipment to make high-quality videos.  Your smartphone’s camera and microphone will work in almost every situation.
 
Your phone also might include basic editing software.  If it doesn’t, you can find free and inexpensive … (1 comments)

chandler: Deductible Dilemma - 09/07/17 11:27 AM
Phoenix area homeowners have experienced a fair share of insurance claims with the seasonal monsoons and haboobs.  Making sure we have the right amount of coverage balanced with the deductible is more math than I care to do in a month. But to be well protected one needs to do that analysis. Many folks across the country today are finding that their insurance simply does not cover the losses they are facing. Double check of your coverage with your agent, and remember…
 
The purpose of insurance is to shift the risk of loss to a company in exchange for a premium. Most … (1 comments)

chandler: How to Deal with Closing Delays - 09/05/17 01:41 PM
Have you ever had a closing delay threaten to kill a deal or strain a relationship with a client?
 
If you’re like most agents, it’s happened to you more than once.
 
Here are three steps you can take to prevent closing delays from ruining a transaction or a relationship.
 
Step 1: Prepare Your Clients
 
Dealing with closing delays starts with preparing your clients for them to happen.  The best time to do this is when you are writing an offer with your buyers or reviewing an offer with your sellers.
 
Start by explaining closing dates aren’t set in stone and may be delayed for a variety … (1 comments)

chandler: Your Home's Equity Could Be the Answer - 08/31/17 10:57 AM
When I got into real estate years ago, one of the first things I realized was there were months with nothing and others with plenty. Home sales were high and low, so I needed a way way to fill in the gaps, valleys and smooth the road. A Home equity line did the trick. Here is somemore…
 
A home equity line of credit, HELOC, is a mortgage loan made to homeowners to be used on an as-needed basis. A lender, such as a bank, will approve a borrower for a specified amount based on the equity in their home and all the … (0 comments)

chandler: Which Value Do You Want? - 08/25/17 01:50 PM
Often, when asked to help someone sell their home, or to just sit and visit about the value of their home, the true value of the conversation ends up being staying in the East Valley, versus moving elsewhere in the state or to another state. Your decision may be based upon the estimated value that I can provide you (and that may even suffice for an estate!). Should you be thinking it might be time to move, a conversation about real estate might be the best way to determine what the plans really are. But read on, there’s more…

chandler: The 3 Questions You Must Ask Every Buyer - 08/21/17 01:05 PM
You’ve heard the old cliché that buyers are liars, right?  It’s so well-known it was #1 on Inman News’ list of the top 50 real estate one-liners, and for good reason.
 
There are few things in real estate more frustrating than showing buyers multiple properties only to have them make lowball offers, decide to continue renting, or buy a home through another Realtor.  If you’ve had any of those experiences, you might be tempted to agree that buyers can’t be trusted.
 
But what if there was a way to weed out many of the seemingly untrustworthy buyers just by asking three simple questions?

chandler: 3 Ways to Instantly Improve Your Marketing - 08/07/17 01:28 PM
Want your marketing to attract more buyers and sellers?
Regardless of whether you market yourself online, by email, in print, or anywhere else, there are three ways you can instantly improve the effectiveness of your campaigns.
#1 – Focus on Benefits, Not Features
A feature is a factual statement about a product or service.  Typical examples of features used in real estate marketing include:
         #1 Agent in X area          Top-producer/winner of the X award          Neighborhood/local expert          CRS, GRI, etc. (any list of designations or certifications) But people don’t hire agents based on features.  They hire agents based on benefits.  And … (2 comments)

chandler: Other People's Money for College - 7/28/2017 - 07/28/17 11:30 AM
Chandler PARENTS of 1 to 5 year olds: If you have great credit and some down payment (equity in your house) why not buy a rental that will be mostly paid off in 15 years? And the rents or a 2nd or even a re-finance, or sale might pay for ALL of the kids college costs! Read on as there is some great info here…
Consider the goal of funding a child’s college education in the future. If “other people’s money” in the form of a scholarship is not a possibility, there still may be another way to use some “other people’s money.”

chandler: How to Avoid Showing Buyers an Endless Number of Homes - 07/24/17 02:26 PM
When was the last time you showed buyers what felt like an endless number of homes?  Showing property after property to indecisive buyers consumes a huge amount of time and energy.
 
The key to avoiding this nightmare scenario is helping buyers pinpoint exactly what they want before showing them homes.  Here’s a four-step process for doing just that.
 
Step #1: Set Expectations
 
Many buyers don’t understand the buying process.  They might feel they’re supposed to see as many homes as possible.  Or, they might not understand seeing tons of homes makes choosing one more difficult.
 
When you first meet with your buyers, set expectations about … (26 comments)

chandler: Assumptions are an Alternative - 7/21/2017 - 07/21/17 02:04 PM
 
OH do I have a story about a non-qualifying assumption from the mid 1980’s that was done in Chandler! Then the City of Chandler experienced exponential growth, ranking among the fastest-growing municipalities in the country And it was one of the reasons that…
In the late 80’s, both FHA and VA began requiring buyers to qualify to assume their mortgages. The main reason there haven’t been many assumptions in the past 25 years is that interest rates have been steadily going down and if a person has to qualify, they might as well do it on a new loan and get a … (1 comments)

chandler: The 3 Questions Your Listing Presentation Must Answer - 07/17/17 10:25 AM
Every time you step into sellers’ home for a listing appointment, there are three questions your presentation must answer.
 
Get the answers right and you win the listing.  Get them wrong and the sellers will choose one of your competitors.
 
Question #1: Why You?
 
The first question you must address is why the sellers should choose you.  If this sounds obvious, consider most agents make canned presentations that aren’t tailored to the sellers’ preferences.
 
Before you launch into your presentation, ask the sellers what they expect, want, and need from the sale of their home.
 
Are they willing to make repairs and upgrades, or would they … (4 comments)

Family & Friends Mortgage - 7/13/2017

Somehow it just seems right to give your kids a mortgage when they buy a house, if you can afford it. Wouldn’t it be great for someone to pay you 4-5% interest on a secured loan? Yes it is until the IRS sticks their nose into it. THE IRS??? Yep. Read on…
Anytime a lender and borrower can agree on rates and terms, it can be a good match but IRS has specific rules that govern the transaction especially when the parties are family or friends.
The loan must be done in a business-like manner … (0 comments)

chandler: The Simplest Way to Get More Clients - 07/10/17 03:08 PM
Getting more clients is often easier than we make it.  We spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on marketing and lead generation, yet we overlook the simplest way to generate business…
 
Talking to strangers.
 
Think about it.  Every day we’re surrounded by potential clients.  At the store, in Starbucks, and during our workouts, people who might have real estate needs are no more than a few feet away.
 
But, we rarely take advantage of these opportunities because striking up conversations with strangers can feel awkward.
 
That’s why I recommend reading the article “Three Scientifically Proven Steps For Talking With Strangers”.
 
It’s a quick read (five … (1 comments)
