Finding Your Dream Home- Step Two: Working Efficiently with Your Buyer’s Agent

Author:  |  Category: Real Estate

Having successfully navigated the Step One, the Interview Process and found the best agent to meet your needs and your personality you are now ready to move forward.  In this step I will be writing a bit about some best practices when working with your agent.  The first advice I can give is, keep an open line of communication with your agent.

From your interview process you have made it clear that you are looking for an agent who will take your calls and be prompt about returning messages.  This is a two way street.  There is no measure I can give to articulate how much of a difference it makes for a Realtor to know what his buyer is thinking.

Prequalifying

This is one of the most important and time saving steps in the entire process.  Here is a hypothetical example of why: I had a client named Jane.  Jane and I met to discuss her search criteria and one of the questions that I asked her when setting up her search is, “what is your price range.”  Jane told me that $250,000 was her max.  I set her up on an automated search, we identified some homes that she was interested in and went out looking at them.  It took a few weeks, but eventually Jane and I found her Dream Home and we put in an offer.  The listing agent asked me for a prequalification letter and I asked Jane if she had spoken to a lender yet.  She told me no, but soon went into her bank to get prequalified.  Shortly after that I received a phone call from a very distraught Jane who informed me that she only qualified for a $150,000 loan.  Let me stop the example here and explain what you have most likely figured out by now.  First, Jane could not afford her Dream Home.  Second as her agent, I should have covered this up front and have now wasted a month of my time, but most importantly, I’ve wasted a month of her time.  To make matters worse, after adjusting her search and looking at properties $100,000 less, what do you think Jane’s reactions to those properties will be?  You guessed it, none of them compare to her Dream Home in a much higher price range; all this because a simple step was missed in the beginning.  Thankfully this scenario is made up but it could be very real.  This situation can work in reverse as well.  Jane could have been looking at $150,000 homes because it sounded like a good number.  When going out to look she was not impressed with any of the listings she saw and soon becomes discouraged.  After months of searching, someone mentions to Jane that she should get prequalified for a loan just to see if she could squeeze a little bit more into her perceived budget.  The loan officer tells her she could comfortably afford a $350,000 home!  The bad part is Jane has wasted months of time which is something this simple step could have helped avoid.  Hopefully these examples hit home

Finding a Loan Officer

Prequalifying is free and your agent should have a few referrals of loan officers that they have worked well with in the past. If you do not already have a loan officer that you are working with, I highly recommend using one of your agent’s referrals.  The reason is because your agent does this for a living and the loan officers that she or he recommends most likely people that they have found through, no doubt, countless bad experiences with loan officers that did not get the job done in a satisfactory way.  Just like a good buyer’s agent it is very important to find a loan officer that understands the time sensitive nature of Real Estate and can deliver on that requirement.  By choosing a loan officer randomly you are taking a shot in the dark that this person, who will be integral part in the largest purchase of your life, is in fact someone who will be prompt and accurate.   Your agent recognizes the importance of a loan officer that meets these criteria and should have a few people for you to choose from.

Finding Listings

It is now time to take some steps to get yourself on the right path to streamline the process of finding your Dream Home.  According to studies a vast majority of home buyers use the internet to do searching, contact an agent and many other tasks related to the process.  No doubt you have visited one or more sites that give access to home listings.  Many if not all of the reputable sites draw their information from a centralized, agent-only database called the Multiple Listing Service or MLS.  These sites are great for start but once you have begun working with an agent they should not be used any more unless it is for quick reference and here is why: These sites have “cached” information.  What this means is that these sites draw all of their information from the MLS and then save it on a computer that allows the company that provides that information to re-format it and re-present it to users often in a pretty more visually stimulating way than the true MLS listings.  One problem with cached websites is that they are not updated often enough to keep the status of properties accurate.  Real Estate is a very time sensitive affair and as such it is paramount that you are working with information that is updated in real time.  The only way to do this is to have direct access to the MLS.  As a licensed Realtor your agent will have access to this system and more importantly can provide you with access to this system.  By now your agent should have asked you a series of questions related to your needs.  These will include but are not limited to: Price range, the area you wish to find a home, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and more specific things like parking etc.  With that information your agent will set you up with one or more automated searches on the MLS that will initially send you every available listing that meets your needs and then daily (or at an interval you desire) will send you any new listings that pop into the system that meet your needs.  These searches will email you automatically and provide you with the ability to log into a customized website that will allow you to view all available listings in real time.  This will help you avoid falling in love with a listing that has been sold for a week or a year, as can happen with cached sites.  When you log into this system you will be given the ability to view a listing sheet very similar to what your agent sees.  If a property that was previously above your price range experiences a price drop and is now in your range you will be notified of it the next time your search runs.  This is why I recommend daily updates to all of my clients.  By the same token if a property you were considering goes under contract it will be immediately removed from your search results.  Each MLS is a little different so these examples will be for the one I use here in the Chicago market.  When you log on to view the listings that your agent has sent you will not only be presented with the information about the listings, you will also be given the option to mark them “interested,” “maybe,” or “not interested.”  There is also a “notes” section for each property.  These are VERY important to your agent’s ability to zero in on your needs.  You should mark “interested,” etc. for every property and the more notes you leave about what you like or dislike about a property the better your agent will become at formulating an understanding of your true Dream Home.  Ideally you should be sent no more than 100 or so listings.  If you are sent more than this I would recommend adding more criteria to narrow your search.  For example: If you are looking for a condo and originally laundry in-unit was a “plus” but not a “must” for your search you may want to consider changing that to a “must” if your search comes back with too many listings.  With the addition of more criteria to your search this will help sort out the properties that may have less appeal when you go to resell down the road.  Other value-added things to look for are: Garage parking, a master bathroom in the master bedroom, etc.  Talk to your agent to find out which additional criteria make sense for your situation if your search is coming back with too many listings.

Viewing Possible Dream Homes

This is one of the most fun steps for many of my clients and for me as an agent as well.  I recommend viewing no more than five or six listings at a time.  At this point you should have narrowed your search results down to a top ten or fifteen so you will be able to see them all in a few trips out.  Often times it can be difficult to keep things straight so here are some pointers I have developed that have great success for my clients: 1.Your agent should provide you with a listing sheet for each property you look at.  Organize these listing sheets in the order that you view the homes.  2. Take lots of notes.  Do not depend on photos because if you are viewing occupied homes the current residents may not be comfortable with you taking pictures of their belongings (and in come states I believe this could be a liability should that home be robbed etc.). 3. Establish a clear winner for each day out.  In other words, when you find a home that you really like a lot make that home your Top Choice of the Day.  From then on, you only have to keep two properties in mind, your “Top Choice of the Day” and the one you are currently viewing.  If the one you are viewing is not as good as your Top Choice then forget about it and move on to the next one.  If the one you are viewing is much nicer than your Top Choice, make it your new top choice and forget about the other one.  It is okay to have a Top Choice and a runner-up for the day, but try hard to really decide which one or two homes out of each tour is the best.  Do this each time you go out until you have viewed all of the potential candidates.  After that, you should ask your agent to do what I refer to as, a Greatest Hits Tour.  This is a day that you go out and look at all of the top choices from previous tours and view them for a second time, back-to-back.  From there you may need to come back a third time for the top choice or two and then, it’s time to make an offer!

Misguided Philly Condominium Developers

Author:  |  Category: Condominium

Big-brained idealists with little local real estate knowledge have been breaking ground new condominium developments in record numbers in the past decade here in the US. Not every ground breaking is indeed Ground-Breaking, nor are such events good news for the overall health of any given real estate market. According to Realtor.com, there are currently 22,578 condos currently on the market in Miami Florida. The effects over oversaturation can be devastating to a local real estate market.

Since all real estate is local (you can’t buy a 3000 sq ft split level across from Central Park for $159,000 as you can in say Little Rock, AR), values are determined within a particular geographical location by a variety of non-market driven factors: the properties cache, it’s location, amenities, size, condition, etc. However, real estate values are greatly also affected by simple supply and demand. With the surge of new construction projects littering the US in the past decade, such developments not only flood the condominium market with a plethora of inventory, thereby possible reducing prices, but can add to the perception of a stagnant real estate market. More inventory has an ability to chill a potential buyers sense of urgency. A high substitutability factor of available condos can quickly knock the wind out of any new buyers’ sails as well. Furthermore, an oversupply of non-performing condos can pave the way for future foreclosure. Upon resurfacing, those condos come back on the market, and have a tendency to shock the local real estate market with artificially low asking prices, causing the entire market to react.

Missing a target market is devastating to the developer looking to make a fortune on his or her latest project. Building large condos with “neighborhood breaking” asking prices, or developing the wrong style of building for a given location or demographic can wreak havoc for a developer and the unlucky neighborhood that gets saddled with such a misnomer. The model for any new development project that works in New York City, is not going to work in St. Louis. How is it that the phrase “When in Rome”, doesn’t apply here? It does. Local real estate markets benefit when a developer does his or her homework, and can match a product with it respective marketplace. Downtown Philadelphia has recently seen a half dozen high-profile new construction projects crash and burn prior to a shovel hitting the dirt. From poor planning to a lack of local real estate research and good old fashioned listening, developers are packing their bags prior to unpacking their bags. In some cases, perhaps for the best, such projects have not been built. “The market could have easily absorbed a few of these projects, should it have been based upon logical and solid research” according to Jim Thornton, of Prudential Fox and Roach Realtors in downtown Philadelphia. “Developers who don’t know the area, and try to fit our landscape into their mold, are in for a bit of a shock”.

A Langley Realtor’s Guide for Planning your Condominium or Townhome Purchase

Author:  |  Category: Condominium

In my experience as a Langley realtor, it is very easy for novice buyers to buy wrong, and therefore extremely important for them to have a well thought out purchase plan. A plan helps you to fully consider the reasons behind why you are buying. When you know what is really important to you vs. what would be really nice to have, you are much less likely to get swept up in all the excitement and make a poor buying decision.

When making your plan for buying a condo or townhome, be sure to think about the following:

Have a realistic budget and know what your top price is. The goal of your Langley realtor should to get you the best value possible without overtaxing you financially.

If you are considering a floating rate mortgage, crunch the numbers and ask yourself if you could continue to make your mortgage payments with interest rates several points higher than they are now.

Lifestyle – think about the features and amenities that are important for you to have in a particular unit and complex. How much square footage do you need? Is your family growing or shrinking? Do you want a small and intimate 4 unit setting? Or would you prefer the greater choice of amenities that a larger complex may have to offer?

Location – where do you want to live? Is it a specific location? Or are you open to different locations so long as they have the same standard of living? If you aren’t tied to one particular location you can often trade a slightly longer commute for a better lifestyle and greater affordability.

Some things to consider when selecting a condominium unit or townhome complex:

The Strata

Monthly and annual fees – it’s important to consider that larger strata fees are not necessarily a bad thing, and that a complex that has a good budget for present day maintenance can save you a lot of money vs. other stratas that have lower maintenance fees that result in costly repairs down the road.

Is the complex self managed or professionally managed? Professionally managed is usually a better choice – owner managed complexes may not have the expertise to accurately forecast maintenance costs and budget accordingly. Higher maintenance fees are usually a lot cheaper in the long run than costly repairs that stem from poor maintenance.

Do they have an adequate contingency account? Having a proper financial cushion is desirable as it can protect you from the shock of large financial levies in the event of an unforeseen problem.

Does the association have any outstanding legal issues?

Look over the minutes of previous meetings – look for any signs of upcoming expenses… see if there are any recurring issues or contentions. Do these issues have an impact upon you?

The regulations

Know the rules and regulations for your unit – Are they consistent with your lifestyle?

Can you own pets? If so how many, what type and what size?

Does the complex have restrictions about certain activities or noise levels? If you are a car repair enthusiast you will want to make sure your potential complex doesn’t have bylaws restricting your ability to work on a car outside your unit.

What about long term guests? If you have frequent guests that stay for extended periods you will want to find out how the strata feels about this.

What parts of your unit are you are responsible for and what parts are joint responsibilities? If you are planning extensive interior renovations your strata may have something to say about it. It’s always best to check before buying than to assume that it won’t be a problem.

Check to see if the unit can be rented. If units can be rented find out how many units are currently owner occupied vs. rented AND how many units can be owner occupied vs. rented. This is an important issue that can affect the resale value of your unit as well as your quality of living. It is generally preferable to have owner occupants as neighbors

The structure

Was the structure built as a condominium or townhome complex? Or was the structure converted from apartments into its current form? Conversions can look very nice with all of their new finishes, but they can have noise and insulation problems.

Your building inspection – having a building inspection done for a condominium or townhome unit can be somewhat different than for a traditional house. Although you are buying a unit, some costs that you might face may be associated with other units as they fall under the responsibility of the association jointly. And some problems may not be discernible without invasive or destructive investigative techniques. In addition to getting your own building inspector who specializes in condominiums and townhomes it is a good idea to ask the strata if they have a comprehensive building inspection survey conducted recently by independent engineers and have your inspector look it over.

Is there a sense of community in this complex? Often you can get a sense of community fairly quickly just by spending time in the common areas.

Do people seem friendly? Do they smile and make eye contact?

Is pride of ownership displayed in the common areas and outside individual units?

Talk to some of your potential neighbors. Introduce yourself and see what they are like and how they react

The ‘extras’

Does your unit come with a parking spot? If so where is it? Having a parking spot 300 meters away from your unit may not seem like a big deal initially, but you may feel differently when you are carrying a bunch of grocery bags by hand 3 months from now…

Storage – does the complex have extra storage? Is it communal? Is it free? How secure is it?

Pools, hot tubs and other amenities – are they well maintained? Would you want to use them? Is there adequate liability insurance to protect you if someone gets hurt while using them?

Get a professional opinion

Even if your realtor is a condo and townhome specialist, you should still consider having a real estate lawyer go over the rules and agreement for your complex. Spending a few hundred dollars to get some expert legal advice can be a very smart investment!

Once your plan is in place, you are in a better position to find the right complex and unit… and well on your way to owning your perfect home!

Real Estate Agent – Tips For Selecting a Realtor

Author:  |  Category: Real Estate

If you are getting ready to purchase a home or to sell a piece of property, it is obviously a very important decision. In fact, for most home buyers, the purchase is the single largest expenditure they will make in a lifetime. Home buyers will probably spend a great deal of time deciding on the right house and even longer working through all the necessary documentation and paperwork. It would be prudent to spend at least some time in choosing the right real estate agent.
When you are planning on the purchase or sale of a property, you should make the selection of an agent to represent you in the transaction before doing anything else. With a real estate buyer’s agent on your side, your search time will be significantly reduced. The agent does the searching and narrows down the field to those properties that fit your bill of particulars.
Care in selecting the agent will help you to find one that you are comfortable with and who is able to do the type of tasks that you will be needing. Don’t select the house before you pick the agent. If you like a particular house and contact the listing agent from the sign out front, you will get an agent who is dedicated to protecting and representing the seller’s interests rather than yours.
You can begin the search for a realty professional by getting a reference from a friend or relative who has had good success with the agent. The reference should be for the broker. Once you have interviewed a couple good agents pick one that you can get along with personally. When you see a house for sale with an agent’s name, call the buyer’s agent that you have selected and let the agent arrange to view the property and prepare an offer if you like the property.
Membership in the National Association of Realtors is a key factor for the selection of a good agent. Ethical practices are critically important with those who are Realtors. Realtors have full access to more listing because they subscribe to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in their area.
Choose an real property professional who specializes in the type of property in which you are interested. Some agents only handle high end property in urban locations. Other agents are able to list and market condominiums or fixer upper properties. You should also check to see whether the agent can work within the price range that fits your budget.
The best agent should be one who is willing to listen to you and to answer your questions. A pleasant and professional personality will benefit you during the purchase process. A buyer’s agent who is representing you must keep your best interests foremost. It’s important that your agent be able to arrange for showings at a time that works for you.
A real estate agent is dedicated to the task of making the buying or selling of your property through to a successful conclusion. This responsibility includes working with other professionals who may be required for the process. You may need to have inspections on the property done. You will need to use the services of an escrow office or an attorney specializing in property transactions.

The Real Estate Market May Soon Take an Upturn With Homes for Sale Inventories Back to Normal Levels by Midyear

Author:  |  Category: Finance

According to the February 19, 2007, issue of BusinessWeek, the homes for sale market has not crashed and is forecasting normal inventory levels for homes for sale by midyear.

We have gone through quite a lot of up and down forecasts over the past few years. For several years, forecasters were predicting the burst of the real estate market bubble, as it continued to grow by leaps and bounds. They said it would burst and insinuated that every real estate investor, as well as buyers and sellers of homes for sale would lose their shirts.

While prices have deflated in most areas in the past couple of years, thee was never the doom and gloom “burst”. There are many investors of residential homes for sale, who now find themselves in foreclosure, will probably lose a lot of money, and will suffer a less-than-favorable credit rating because of it. Many of these investors of homes for sale used the “no money down” and/or “get rich quick” financing schemes. For these unfortunate investors, that is the risk they took by investing in residential real estate. There also are some current sellers, however, who must sell their homes for reasons other than the deflating market. They may be forced to take a lot less money for their homes for sale than they originally planned. They are the real victims of the market bubble, but it is getting better — much sooner than anyone expected.

Currently, many existing San Diego homes for sale are priced about the same as last year at this time, which were at 2003 price levels. Construction has fallen sharply with builders trying to sell their current homes for sale inventories before building more. BusinessWeek’s Peter Coy, however, is predicting that the homes for sale inventories may be back to normal levels by midyear. He based his projections on the continued low interest rates for homes for sale and income growth.

Current fixed-rate, 30-year mortgages have interest rates no higher than in June 2004. They averaged 6.2 percent during the last quarter of 2006, which is well below the average ten years ago.

Homes for sale in most areas remain affordable, according to the National Association of Realtors. Even with the rising prices during the bubble of more than 50 percent in the past five years, the association shows an affordability index for homes for sale of over 100. That means that income growth has kept up with rising prices, allowing a median income family to be able to afford a median-priced homes for sale.

Real Estate Brokers – Sale or Purchase – Help Available at the Right Time

Real Estate Brokers are the people who act as intermediary between buyers and sellers. When representing buyers they try to find a property with clear legal and financial issues. When representing sellers they try to earn high margin for sellers.

The money paid as commission to them is more than worth because of the immediate financial benefit they get us plus the peace of mind during the whole transaction. US Bureau of labour statistics claims about 600,000 working property brokers in US.

Find the Best Way to Stop Foreclosure and Keep your Home

Author:  |  Category: Property

Loans are a very convenient alternative when it comes to getting a hold of the money you need to make a big purchase. There are very few individuals who can afford to pay cash for purchases such as houses or cars. The rest are presented with options like mortgages or leases. In theory, nothing should go wrong with paying for great expenses with the help of a loan from a bank or any other financial institution. But what happens if that asset serves as collateral for the lender and you fall back on your payments?

Whatever your reasons may be for not paying your installments on time and falling into arrears, a delinquent loan allows the lender to foreclose the property. Foreclosure represents the process that is carried on when a borrower fails to meet the terms of the loan, and therefore enables the creditor to sell or repossess the property. Statistics show that foreclosure occurs in almost ten percent of all mortgages in the United States.

There are several ways in which a foreclosure process can end. For instance, the borrower can pay off his or her defaults within a certain time frame, upon which the loan will be reinstated. This period is also referred to as the pre-foreclosure period, and its duration depends on the laws of the state where the loan was taken out. Or, if you want to stop foreclosure, you can have a third party purchase the property at the end of the pre-foreclosure period, in a public auction. But this solution may not be the best for you, as your credit record and rating might be affected.

A good way to stop foreclosure and keep a good credit history is to sell the property during the pre-foreclosure period. The sale of your property will provide you with the money you need to pay off your default amount and stop the foreclosure process from going any further.

Another possible way for a foreclosure process to be concluded is one that is least desired by both lender and borrower. In the event that none of the above solutions is used, the property foreclosure will most likely end with the transfer of the ownership to the lender, followed by the sale of the property in a private auction or bid.

There are specific ways in which a foreclosure process can be stopped, the three most common of which are represented by loan modification, loan reinstatement, and forbearance agreement. However, there may be other solutions that are more appropriate to your situation, needs and requirements. This is the reason why you should consult with specialists if you should happen to go through a pre-foreclosure period or a foreclosure process. Such specialists know everything there is to know about the foreclosure process and are up to date with all the possible solutions for a positive outcome of your situation. They will advise you on your options to stop foreclosure and keep your home, and help you opt for the best solution to your problem.

Economic Highlights of the Dubai Property Market

Author:  |  Category: Property

The economy in Dubai is staggering. In 2007 GDP was registered at 54.3 billion US dollars and over the past 7 years, the economic growth was 18% Compounded Annual Growth Rate. Amazingly, the tourism, real estate and finance sectors are taking over as the main economic areas which used to be oil.

Growth of the population is detrimental to the growth of the economy. Between 2003 and 2007, the population created an 8% Compounded Annual Growth Rate which is sure to be logged down as higher as there are now an estimated 1.6 billion inhabitants in Dubai. This is predicted to increase to 2.2 billion by the year 2010. The Dubai property boom is going to be required with an increase in population such as that although it has been said that this should be capped to avoid saturation which is all too common in a situation like this.

It is the diversification of the economic sectors and their growth that has created a strong economy in Dubai. This diversification has attracted Westerners to move to Dubai especially to the finance and tourism businesses. Dubai is becoming a world centre for finance institutions due to its specially designated business communities. These purpose-built mini cities such as Business Bay are making Dubai a recognized global commercial and business center. Business Bay for example is spread over an area of 64 million square feet with numerous landmark towers within.

To entice white collar workers and tourism specialists into Dubai, the regulations for entry have been changed. They have been reduced making it easier to live and work in Dubai. This has then affected the Dubai property market in a way that there are now a greater number of investors selling houses on the owner occupier basis and not for rent. This of course suits Westerners who are very keen on purchase and not rent. The stature of the workers entering Dubai is also shown by the high numbers of luxury Dubai properties. The high-income section of Dubai is most definitely the largest. The developers of the higher end Dubai property structures are seeing a greater occupancy rate too.

So, to conclude, it appears that in terms of the Dubai property market, luxury is the way forward in the current economic crisis.
