Real Estate

I want 5 different reasons or more if you have them…since we all know you cant really place the blame on one or two things.

I especially want to hear about nationwide macro economic trends of concern that may be contributing factors

Shylock said it all–just about. The thing I notice most (and I’m just a country-raised Southern biscuit-baking mama) is we have turned into a very greedy immediate reward society. We want it now now now. Reminds me of the first Willy Wonka movie where that lil girl sang "I want it NOW!"

One example: The weddings today are outrageous. They rival what only the very wealthy people had in the years past. They expect (demand!) big diamonds and expensive lavish gifts and are quite angry if they don’t get them.

Look at some of the old old movies. People didn’t live like we live today. I know time marches on and we are the techie society and we buy one electronic and next year, there’s a newer more sophisticated more advanced model, so we toss the old and buy a new one.. The effect this is going to end up having on our environment.. makes me shudder.

We are greedy and spoiled raising even more greedy and spoiled and unappreciative children. (Ok this is making me sound like my mother and her mother and her mother’s mother) But it’s true. The sky’s the limit to people’s wants and their children’s "wants". They don’t seem to care the price or how high their charge cards or home equity loans go.

Ok, getting off soapbox and going to bake some biscuits. Happy Thanksgiving all, and Amen, let’s eat!

How did it work? I know the three realty agencies to choose from are Coldwell Banker, ERA, and Century 21… But do you get to choose which specific realtor you want to work with? And do you automatically get 1% of the sale price, (up to $3,000) deposited into your upromise account, or is it just whatever that particular agent offers, up to 1%?

How would i ensure that the client’s expectations of the agency, the market and the property are realistic.

For example- The market value may be $300,000 however the client is under the impression that the property is worth $350,000. How would i deal with this situation ??

Also is there any good info sites on this sort of stuff or real estate licenses etc. ??

Thanks

In my experience the real estate license exam does not cover any actual sales knowledge so this would not be covered.

When I go out to someone’s house I examine the house carefully (in front of them so they know I did so). I listen to everything they have to say about quality of materials and livability of the home. I do a careful and detailed market analysis showing other homes in the same neighborhood that have sold and are as similar as possible to this house. I note the differences between the comparables and the subject house. I also note what houses are for sale in the area now and would be the competition. I am always on their side but I need to show them the reality of the situation.

I let the market tell the people what the real market value is. If the owners are not going to ask a reasonable price then it is best not to list the house- I only get paid when the house sells.

I woke up today and saw that $75 million was in my bank account so I call my real estate agent and bought a sweet new pad:
