Where does the commission go...

4/1/2014

0 Comments

 
When it comes to Agent commissions, and Sellers hear 6%, they often think the agent pockets all that money. Before we talk about commission, we should consider the value an agent brings to real estate transactions. According to the latest study conducted for the National Association of REALTORS, the Average homeowner who sells a home by utilizing a full service real estate company nets, after all expenses are deducted, 17% more than those homeowners who sell it themselves, even though they save on the real estate commission. There are fewer lawsuits, too!
The following infographic was prepared by a website company that handles agent marketing throughout North America: Point 2.  It highlights commission allocation.

All Stars Agents Help Make A Difference...

Dan and Cheree Griffith are no strangers to Community Service.  One of the ways they help make a difference is by volunteering their time  hosting Dave Ramsey’s biblically based Financial Peace University events at various places of worship in the Rancho Cucamonga area.  In addition, because they feel this program is especially useful to those who are self-employed  and/or commission based  (Dan and Cheree are real estate agents at Realty World ALL STARS in Rancho Cucamonga), they have held classes at several local real estate offices in the Inland Empire.

Dan and Cheree receive no compensation for the hundreds of hours they have volunteered to share the teaching of Dave Ramsey and only pass on the Dave Ramsey fees for the educational materials the “students”  receive.

This February and March, Dan and Cheree will again utilize the Realty World ALL STARS Meeting and Event facility to hold  this  9-week  life-changing series.
This series is OPEN TO EVERYONE who want to take control of their finances, eliminate their debt and build personal wealth.

Find out for yourself if this may be the path to your financial freedom.  Dan and Cheree say that " THE FIRST SESSION IS FREE and there is no obligation to continue with the series."  

Thank you for giving back to our community.....

When the Appraisal Comes in LOW...

7/14/2013

When real estate prices are going up, buyers and sellers are often surprised when the lender's appraisal comes in lower than the sales price. There are reasons for this.

Appraisals are based on the sales price of homes recently sold. Those homes must also be located in the sale area.  Unfortunately, in a rising market, those past transactions are likely to be at a lower price.

Because of new restrictions placed upon the relationship between lenders and appraiser, buyers and their mortgage representatives have less control over the appraisal process. Today, lenders order an appraisal from a list of approved appraisal companies,  and then a third party chooses the appraiser.

That appraiser may not be from the local area and this can adversely affect how the appraiser interprets what constitutes a "comparable" home and neighborhood desirability.  To help out of area appraisers, a listing agent can prepare documentation to demonstrate a home's unique value and market desirability.

Some appraisers have been known to recommend that the sellers (or their agent) prepare a package of information on the home, including data on comparable houses and any improvements that have been made that should influence the value of the home. Our agents are skilled in preparing solid documentation to assist those out-of-area appraisers. (See link below for a timely Washington Post article)

Sellers: Don't Let the Internet Lose You Money

If you would like to sell your home for the most money in a short period of time, you need to generate dynamic positive buzz that’s targeted to the right people. The better you market your home; the more offers you will get. And by having lots of offers, you will be able to choose the best buyer and get the best terms.

A critical element to attracting the right buyers who will make serious market value offers for your home is in the asking price you set. Your asking price should be based upon the same criteria an appraiser will be using for the buyer’s lender. That appraiser will make“comps” for the bank. These comps will contain details of all the recent sales made in your neighborhood. They will be adjusted to reflect the specifics of your home. In doing that, appraisers will not use “asking prices” of unsold homes because those prices represent nothing other than what a homeowner is hoping to get and a buyer has not been willing to pay.

The market price of homes that actually sell will have satisfied all parties involved: the homeowners, the buyers, and the bank that is loaning the money. If any of those three don’t agree, there is no transfer of title.

Unlike Zillow or Trulia or other internet sites that assign values based on statistics, an appraiser will actually visit and measure your home. The appraiser will then note all the improvements you’ve made and assess your home’s overall condition. That’s why you cannot rely on websites to assign your home’s market value. Always use a Realtor who has been properly trained on making a personalized comparative market analysis. Done right, those CMAs are even better than getting an appraiser’s paid opinion because, unlike the appraiser's comps.  the cma will include homes that are currently in escrow. Your Realty World ALL STARS agent have been trained to research and include homes that are currently in escrow. That’s one of the reasons our listings tend to sell faster and close escrow for more money.

You should also avoid using agents who do not tour your home to help form their price recommendation. Computer models and unskilled agents can literally cost you thousands of dollars in lost equity. Most computer models like Zillow admit to inaccuracies of up to 20%.

The right agent and the right asking price will attract the right buyers. Only then will you get the right price for your home!
 
The best recommendations we can receive are from our current and past clients. Together they contributed to both the Daily Bulletin and Los Angeles Times Reader's Choice polls.  Realty World ALL STARS was awarded the title: "BEST REAL ESTATE COMPANY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA."   No other real estate franchise or company can make that claim. On behalf of all the fine, dedicated professionals at our company, Karla and Joe wish to thank all our clients for giving us the privilege of representing their real estate interests and then recommending us to all the internet and newspaper readers of these two leaders of the fourth estate.
