renton realtor: What's a Short Sale? - 08/18/08 07:28 AM
I can no longer afford my mortgage, but owe too much to sell.
First off, you're not alone! Many people are finding themselves owing more to the bank more than what the home is worth and can no longer afford the mortgage payment. Many people in this situation say "heck with it, the bank can have it back". But WAIT... don't throw in the towel yet. Think about a Short Sale before Foreclosure.
What is a Short Sale? A short sale is when the net proceeds from a sale of a home are not enough to cover the sellers mortgage along with standard closing costs … (0 comments)

renton realtor: To GET SOLD you need to GET REAL - 08/14/08 06:26 AM
This week I was on a listing appointment with a potential home seller. This home was over in Maple Valley and had been listed with another Realtor for over 6 months with nothing happening. After doing some research on the property, I found out that the home across the street (same floor plan as their home) had just sold a month ago for 25k less than they were asking.
Their response... "Of course THEY sold their home...they GAVE IT AWAY!!!
For these sellers, they wanted to be moved by the end of October, yet there asking price reflected an unrealistic price. They … (0 comments)

renton realtor: Planning to sell... Or pretending to sell? - 08/14/08 04:36 AM
Earlier this week, I was talking with Kathy (one of the fellow Realtor's at my office) and she was telling me about a sale she was working on.
Here's the story... Kathy represents the buyers of this particular deal. She went out and showed the buyer multiple homes and then the buyer made the decision to buy in particular condo complex. The problem was that there is only one unit for sale in this particular complex. The buyers saw that unit and fell in love with it. Now your probably thinking great, huh. But, here's the problem.
When Kathy researched recent sales … (0 comments)

renton realtor: Buying up... In a down market. - 08/13/08 07:12 PM
I'm sure that you all have read the reports on how horrible the real estate market had become. The truth is the market is struggling, home prices are down and inventory is at a high. But when the real estate market gives you lemons, there is always a way to make lemonade.
Recently I helped a past client of mine sell their home and buy up to another larger home. Even though there current home sold for less that what it once could have, they actually were better off to sell now, in a down market, than had they sold when … (0 comments)

renton realtor: Professional Photo's are the key to selling. - 08/13/08 06:12 PM

Right now, I am thinking about something that I cannot get off my mind. I cannot believe the number of Real Estate Agents that do not use a professional photographer to photographer their listings.
Before deciding to write this blog, I was reading an article that reported over 90% of all home buyers found there home on the Internet. The article also said that these buyers will only look at an individual house for less than 2 seconds before making a decision to keep reading or continue on to the next home.
Fact is that today's market is tuff. There are many homes on the … (0 comments)

renton realtor: Full Service Company or Discount Broker... Who cares? - 08/13/08 05:14 PM

When selling your home, there are two ways to go. You can decide to list your home with a Full Service Broker or a Limited Service Broker. With a Full Service Broker they will handle step involved with selling your home. With a Limit Service Broker you hire them to handle various tasks while you take care of the rest.
For a long time I was a strong supporter of the Limited Service Companies. I know, hard to believe coming from a guy who hangs his license at one of the larges Full Service Brokerages. Back when the market was great, … (0 comments)

renton realtor: House Prices, are they up or down? - 12/21/07 02:22 AM
Okay... The stats are in for the year and...
In the greater Maple Valley area, home prices are up about 8% from last year. Not bad, considering that the media is saying were in a "down market".
Homes that show well, and are priced at market value are selling in under 30 days.
