How to Buy a Home Up Against Competition & Hot New Listings
Segment 4

How to Buy a Home Up Against Competition Hot New Listings
Barb, everyone is talking about how there are fewer homes on the market and many home buyers have to compete against other buyers to get a home.  Tell us about How to Buy a Home Up Against Competition.
In Many Cases, Homes Go on the Market in this HOT Sellers’ Market and Multiple Offers Come in
A Home Seller is in a GREAT Position to “Negotiate” when they have multiple offers to choose from
The buyers have NO IDEA how much the other offers are.
Sellers do not HAVE to take Any Offer.
Sellers do not HAVE to take a Full Priced Offer
With all Negotiations, Buyers and Sellers need a Strategy
Sellers: 
Pricing (seller decides with expert advise)
Positioning (agent with seller) 
Set them up for Success
Lots of psychology here
Marketing (mostly agent)
Buyer Strategy: Preparation, Presentation & Offer Terms
Preparation Mistakes I See:
Failure to Educate buyer about market
Failure to Present buyer in Best Light
Failure to Encourage buyer to make Best Offer:
Helping the Buyer Get the House:
We Prepare Our Buyers
Most Agents Use Showing Request as Opportunity to MEET A BUYER
OFFER TIME:
Most AGENTS do NOT write offers daily
Buyers assume all Agents Know Their Trade
Do They REALLY Understand EVERY DETAIL of the Agreement?
Contract Land Mines are:
Inspection Contingencies
Appraisal Contingencies
Sale Contingencies
Long Written-in Paragraphs
Last minute Kick Out Clauses
Deal Breaking Contract Provisions:
Seller to disclose 
affect the future value of the property’
affect the future buyers use of the property’
Many agents put these in because:
someone else used it’ 
Odd Terms Could Cause Seller to Turn Them Away!

The Elephant in the Room - A House to Sell Before You Buy Your Next Home
Segment 3

The Elephant in the Room – Having a House to Sell
Barb you mentioned that lots of your buyers are having to compete to get their offers accepted with higher than asking price offers, cash offers and zero buyer kick out clauses, how does a buyer win a home in this market? 
We are seeing a meteoric rise of homes values of over 24.9% in just 1 year! (That trend is increasing.
Buyers are not only competing with other buyers but with Wall Street buyers like Open Door, Home Partners,Offer Pad, Redfin, HomeLight & others
Story of Zillow Offer
House supply Prediction
a. Inventory will remain low
b. Building of new homes slowed down
c. Rate of appreciation may slow but probably not this year
What if You Need your Equity to Buy your Next Home?
Driven by:
Finance Option –

Advantage: No need to Sell First
Disadvantage: Need to Qualify for Both Current Home and Future Home
Re-Cast Story
Buy Now Sell Later Lender Option
Pull Equity out of your Current Home
Advantage: No need to Sell First
Advantage: No need to qualify for 2 homes

Have 12 Months Payments in Reserve or Retirment
Intent to sell in 90 days

Sell First Option
Dilemma – No Place to Go
Tough to Get Temporary Housing
Building it could take 1 Year
How Much Equity will you Miss out on?
The Classic Real Estate Catch 22
We Can Guarantee the Sale of Your Home so You Can Buy Your Next Home – And NOT have a sale contingency
The biggest challenge for most home sellers is:
Contingent Offers 
Most are Getting Rejected
You are listening to the Real Estate Voice with myself Barb Schlinker of Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty, you can reach me at 719 301 3900 
b. We are talking about the Elephant in the Room having the Dilemma of needing your equity out of your current home to buy your next home..

c. Average increase in Since January = $76,599
Average Price RISING Again!

According to Census Bureau data, 
a. 38% of homes are owned ‘Free and Clear’ 
b. 17.8 million properties in the United States were considered equity-rich
c. 1 out of 3 mortgages owe less than half of its value
Most Experts Expect More of The Same for 1-2 years
Truth: Buyers in a Hot market are NOT over paying
They are paying Market Value
Although it’s a great to sell, buying is an even traded
Buying Real Estate is HEDGE Against Inflation!
Fixed Rate Mortgage
Payment Stable – RATES STILL LOW!
Very minor increase in taxes
Only inflationary issue if interest rates rise
That is why most people are moving now
Foreclosure and Rent Payment Moratorium – The Elephant in the Room
What’s different – those people have EQUITY
CFPB offering another extension and Loan Mods before foreclosure
Government programs to help landlords and tenant if facing hardship
Its Temporary
May have a small impact on the market:
My prediction:  - AFTER the next election we may see Interest Rates rise
Only that will slow down sales!

Should  Home Sellers Be Worried About Buyers with Low Down Payment Financing
Segment 2

Should Home Sellers Be Worried About Buyers with Low Down Payment Financing
Barb, we talked about some contracts falling through in the last segment.  In some cases in this market, homes are selling for more than the appraiser thinks it worth. Should a home seller be worried if a buyer is getting Zero Down Financing?   
When a home seller accepts a contract on their home, the biggest fear is whether the deal will go through without hitches:
The hitches are:
Inspection
Appraisal
Buyers Loan Approval
There are several different types of ZERO Down financing:
VA Loans – available to veterans and military
FHA Loans with Down Payment Assistance
Credit Unions are starting to give 100% financing Conventional!
What are the things Sellers must be concerned about?
Inspection issues – Seller is in control
Buyers loan approval – Lender is in control
Appraisal – Sellers can take an educated guess
You want an agent that knows how to prepare you for all of these issues that may arise:
Inspections – we help people wade through these dozens of times per month.
Loan Approval – we get on the phone to find out how solid the buyer is BEFORE you accept a contract
Appraisals – we look at the current, past and future market
Keep all of the offers to show current market
Carefully consider those buyers who offer up an appraisal guarantee:

What Makes Some Homes FLY off the Shelf & Others NOT + FREE use of a Moving Van & Hot New Listings
Segment 4

Seg 4 – What Makes Some Homes Fly off the Shelf and Others Not + Hot New Listings
1) Barb you have talked a lot of ideas on how to get a home ready for sale.  But once they get presented to the market, what makes some homes FLY off the shelf and others sit there?
Yes Richard, ouR team is designed to help home sellers get their homes ready for sale.
1. All the stars are aligned to get top dollar
a. Low Available inventory of homes
b. Low Cost Financing
i. 30 year fixed Conventional: 2/75%
ii. 30 year fixed VA/FHA: 2.375%
2. NEW SLIDE
Jumbo Loan Limit RAISED:
$625,000
a. Little or No Down Payment Needed
Navy Fed CU = 100% Conventional Loan (little higher rate 3.65) 0 down jumbo!
3. To me, #1 Pricing
a. Pricing a home correctly takes:
i. Market experience
1. We well hundreds of homes in a year
a. Average agent sells less than 3 (74%) of them
i. Pricing REALISTICALLY vs OPTIMISTICALLY
1. Sometimes it works
2. On balance though, if you price Optimistically, result:  long days on market (more than 30 days, there is something wrong) AND
a. Buyers think something is wrong if they see that
b. Days on market are broadcast ALL over Realtor.com, & Zillow!
i. In my experience, hitting that REALISTIC Price Point COMMANDS TOP DOLLAR
1. Rockin Story
We Can Help!:
* Get their house ready for sale
* Back up on moving day
* Move staging furniture around
* Use at our Open Houses

Selling a Rental Home - How to Sell Command Top Dollar and Make your Life Easier
Segment 3

Selling a Rental Home – How to Keep Your Sanity
Barb, sometimes people have to sell a Rental home, what are some of the things they should be prepared for?
1. Tenant Not Paying?
State Still has $20 Million to Hep Both Tenants and Landlords
2. Top Question:  Sell wTenant or NOT?
Depends:
Tenant Cooperation
How the Home Shows with Tenant
Tenant Motivation
3. Condition issues More Likely Tenant Occupied Properties:
Put Retail Buyer Hat On
Carpet Odor?
Can The Buyer Move In?
To Get Top Dollar = Fix it up!
Exceptions:
Multi Family
Some buyers want to keep tenants
4. Evaluate How Much it Will Cost to Remodel the Home:
Buyers do not want to do any remodel work
If you have a rental you should budge for updating when its time to sell.
Most popular things buyers want:
Fresh flooring
Fresh appliances
Updates in Kitchen
Can be as simple as new appliances - $3000
New formica counters - $2000
Updated baths:
Can be as simple as:
Updated light fixtures
Updated plumbing fixtures
Be sure to check the tub and shower surround:
Tired grout – can be refreshed fairly reasonably.
Mechanical systems
If furnace and Water heater are old consider providing a $500 home warranty if they are functional
We just replaced our 22 year old water heaters and I wish I had them back.  Each one costs $1500.
8. Present the home:
Clean
Repaired
Tenant Distraction Free
10. Pricing a home appropriate to its condition is CRITICAL
This does NOT mean under pricing
It means pricing AT market value without:
Adding money for ‘negotiating room’ 
Even as little as 1% can make the difference
Buyers are Accustomed to:
Bidding OVER ASKING Price
They tend to move on to other homes that need less work.

Barb, what are some OTHER THINGS PEOPLE SHOULD CONSIDER THEN SELLING AN INHERITED HOME?
11. Step 1 – Typically the tenant will clear out their stuff, however there are always a thing or two to take care of.
12. Landscaping, Flooring and Bathrooms take the biggest cosmetic hit with tenant occupancies.  
13. Improving these things will bring the biggest bang for the buck.

How a Divorce Affects Your House, Mortgage & Taxes
Barb, of the many emotional and financial challenges with a divorce, dealing with the real estate part of it can be daunting. What are the things home owners need to know about the house, the mortgage and taxes when facing a Divorce?
#1 – Get some non-emotional trusted advisors around you
If a lawyer is involved some times the divorce decree dictates what happens to the real estate.
In most cases its straight forward, but you need someone to evaluate:
The home’s value
How you hold title
What will happen with the proceeds when it sells
The strategy of what happens next, will you buy another home, will you rent, are you moving away, etc.
#2 The Four Basic Options
You have 4 basic options in the midst of a divorce as it relates to real estate:
Sell the house and divide up the proceeds per the divorce decree
Buy out your spouse
Have your spouse buy you out of the home
Retain ownership
#3 If you have to sell and want to buy another house, check affordability first
The Rise of Market Values Has Leveled Off – Could Be Seasonal – Great Time to Buy
Number of Sales Much Higher Than Previous Years
For every $10,000 in price, at the current low rates, a house payment increases by about $45 per month: 
Bank Rate Mortgage Calculator 
#4 Be Prepared for Your Destination

The Easy Button Zillow Just Got Not So Easy
Segment 1

Selling to Zillow, the Easy Button, Halted Because its NOT so Easy
Barb, I know its tough for the first time home buyers to enter the market.  Now we are hearing that Zillow quit buying homes nation wide.  Could they be signaling a market correction? 
Zillow is only buying in a few RED HOT markets:
Zillow was flipping homes for a profit
Their biggest source of revene
Came under scrutiny.
Some people think they pushed home to unrealistically high levels
Peyton Story
Some Bloggers Say Announcement Signals 
A Declining Market
Zillow Has Been the World Leader  ON  Data

Zillow Tells a Diff Story
Zillow is Pausing new contracts allows them to focus on sellers already in the pipeline
They have Efficiency Issues NOT
Home Selling Issues
Zillow Stops Due to a Temporary Pause

Wall Street does NOT Have That
Their Algorithms are wrong!
Their People are NOT experts!

(Still a major stock holder)
Zillow Needs “Really Good Operation Execution”
The Zillow RUB
They have Weak Processes
Can’t get rehab contractors
Can’t deliver adequate customer service
