omaha homes: Buying this Spring? Be Prepared for Bidding Wars - 04/06/17 06:36 AM
Buying this Spring? Be Prepared for Bidding Wars Traditionally, spring is the busiest season for real estate. Buyers come out in force and homeowners list their houses for sale hoping to capitalize on buyer activity. This year will be no different!
Buyers have already been out in force looking for their dream homes and more are on their way, but the challenge is that the inventory of homes for sale has not kept up with demand, which has lead to A LOT of competition for the homes that are available.
A recent Bloomberg article touched on the current market conditions:

omaha homes: Real Estate Lockboxes - 02/18/08 11:36 AM
In order for an agent to show a house to a buyer, the agent must have access to the property. The simplest solution is to have a lockbox on the front door with a key. There are two basic types of lockboxes.
The first is the combination lockbox. In order to open it, one must have the combination. The first problem with these is that frequently when an agent schedules a showing, they are not told what the combination is. As a result when they get to the property they have no way of getting in. Another problem is that the code … (2 comments)

omaha homes: Homeowners Insurance - 02/15/08 01:07 PM
Homeowners insurance is often something that is overlooked until the last minute by the home buyer and all too often by their agent as well. Homeowners insurance is something that should be lined up prior to submitting an offer rather than after. There are many reasons why.
First is affordability. If you get an offer accepted on a home and then check into insuring it you may find that the insurance is significantly more costly than you thought. The age, type, and location of the house can affect how much your insurance will be. The cost of your insurance can also be … (2 comments)

omaha homes: The Importance of a Dedicated Showing Desk - 02/12/08 11:42 PM
A showing desk is the term used to describe a phone number for Realtors to call to schedule showings on homes that are for sale.
There are two types of showing desks. The duty desk and a dedicated showing desk. A duty desk is staffed by agents and they receive calls both from agents that are scheduling showing and receiving calls from buyers. A dedicated showing desk is staffed by operators trained to schedule showings from agents and nothing else.
Of the two the dedicated showing desk is far superior. To explain why let's look closely at the duty desk. The agents … (3 comments)

omaha homes: HUD Statements and Outstanding Service - 02/12/08 11:41 PM
A HUD Statement is the final statement of all expenses and profits from the sale or purchase of a home.
Outstanding service is what an excellent agent will provide his clients with.
What do HUD statements and outstanding service have to do with each other? Let me tell you. An agent that provides outstanding service will at the end of the year call his clients that bought or sold a home that year and ask if they would like a copy of their HUD statement mailed to them for preparing their tax return - there are items on the statement that can be … (0 comments)

omaha homes: Real Estate Marketing with Flyer Boxes - 02/12/08 11:38 PM
The last time you were looking for a house did you do a little driving around looking for homes for sale? I thought so, everybody does. And when you found one that was for sale were you disappointed when there was no flyer box or the flyer box was empty? Of course you were, everyone is. Did you call the number on the sign to get information? I didn't think so, no one ever does.
Buyers don't want to talk to an agent without first knowing that the house is of interest to them. A buyer needs to know how many bedrooms, … (0 comments)
