So I start to purchase this book for Buyer who search for the knowledge . You maybe asking why not all buyers . I don’t want the book going to waste I thought at the Time

Until one day around April 2017 I get a call from a past buyer client now Homeowner who having an issue with basement with water . I ask did you call anyone she said yes a Contractor who said the basement need to be water proofed and would cost her 5,000Dollars to do the work . I being curious I ask can I come by and you show me what the Contractor plans to do . So she said sure . As I walk around the basement I noted the sump pump so look into the Hole were I note that Sump pump float had broken . See below to diagram .

This all because my Dad had explain sump pumps to me . I was able to get a friend . MY Friend and I we able to install the Sump pump of cost 250 Dollars . I couldn’t do by myself again because I wasn’t handy . I just know how to find the issue and help guide solve the issue. .

This when I noted I never gave them the Book “How the House Worked ” If I had I think they would have been better prepared to interview the contractor . So Now I praise this Book . I think everyone should have it on their bookshelves .

Why Open House Still important to Selling Your House # 60

So The Debate Is the Open House Really a Good way to Sell Your House ? Many Real Estate agent and even Real Estate Companies have Stop Believing in Open House to be used to Sell a House . With Technology with 3 D Scan Walk through, Videos and better professional photos .

This Real Estate agent disagreement with open House is that real buyers are only coming with Real Estate agent on Private appointments . The open House is really not getting Serious Buyers , They say your open house only getting Nosy neighborhood and buyers who can’t purchase your home .

I am here to disagree with this two points . I will agree that open House isn’t not get offers at the open House like it did back in the days of 2006 when I first started my Real Estate Career .

The open House is now used to draw the Eye to the House to make into an Event . On your House First week of Market You will See a extremely Busy open House if you Price and Market the House correctly. This Will Drive the Market to make offer quickly over time what drive Buyers back to your House . A Price Drop , Market Strategy and open House is were Buyer get notice of your House after sometime on the market .

Open House Does Drive nosy Neighbor but do you know that Average American lives only 18 Mile from Mother and They most case live blocks away . So sometime your neighbor maybe have family member on the market for new House . They also add to other guest to your House in Open House event every Guest make other Buyer see them as competition .

Buyer who are not Serious Buyer this statement is False . Buyer always Serious if they planed to Stop at your open House or even if the Sign got them to go look at your House . They maybe at the beginning stage but if the House is for them . They quickly get everything together to make an offer .

Now let me tell you two little Secret . You Go to Walmart or Target How would you Fell if every time You like go to see it the only way was by appointment and the Store need you make sure you purchase something . Now I know your House isn’t the same but just like you like keep your privacy a Buyer may want keep privacy from Real Estate agent question until he finds the right House . open House allow Them to see the house first before answering the question Real Estate agent have .

The Second Secret is the Debate of open House has start because Most Real Estate agent have been doing Open House to get new Buyers not just for your House but for Future House . They want Buyers for Business but Technology has Buyer getting Hiring Real Estate agent earlier . Most Buyers are coming to open House with already hired a Real Estate agent . This frustrates Real Estate agent who are in need of New Buyers for their business .

So at the end Ask your Real Estate agent Why they believe in Open House and Why they Don’t . You want See if they have any out of the Box thinking . You Need to know what strategy They will Be using to Sell your House be it Open House is apart of it or Not .

Your Listing Agreement Expired with your Realtor :What Now # 59

So Your Home didn’t Sell . Your must be full of questions . Then the phone calls Start the day your listing agreement expires . “Hello I am Real Estate Agent I see your House Has gone off the Market . I was just worrying Are you thinking about Relisting your House ? What is it that you think why your house didn’t sell . This were apart of my script I was taught in the starting Career as Real Estate Agent . Script Have improved from when I start back in 2005 .

I know this was not a great way for me to get business . Some Real Estate Agents into day Real Estate Market still Call Sellers . I know I need to Find other way to reach out to Sellers . I was more writing hand letter with simple Website Address in the Letter. The Website Had information for Sellers that would Help them Hire better real Estate agent sometimes me sometimes someone else . I know by Giving information I would win of many Sellers .

Here is the Over all of information I Shared with Sellers .

1) How Much Commission did you agree with your Past Real Estate Agent to Pay out to the Buyer Agent of the Total . This important because want offer more then Competitive Neighbor House . the average is 2.5% pay out 3% or 3.5%

2) Do You know How was your House advertising? What are in Marketing Details in the Flyers, Website Headlines . Are they using Social Media ( Facebook,Instagram,google ,ad-words How ? Why not if they say No

3) How is Your House Price Compared to Your Competitive Houses ? Be Honest with yourself . If you need to get a price then really think out of the Box way you can Sell Your House ? Let Rent to Buy Lease options

4) How is Your Agent Advertising Him or Herself ?

5) How many Deals Did Your Agent Close in the past Year ? What is Average in your office ?

6) What ideas is your Do your agent has to Sell your House ? What make it different from anyone who you interview ?

7) How is your House Staged , picture Professional .

So Reflect on this 7 questions . Before you call any agent back or have come to your Home . Start Also really think out side of the Box what can you or Real Estate Do different .
