Conditions That Affect Your Appraisal

So You Want To Sue ?

Appraisals are opinion.

Appraisals are only opinions, and this is NOT real and NOT based on GOOD Data. They use the same database that the real estate agents us to come up with an opinion of what a property is worth. Nobody really knows what a property will sell for, it is especially chaotic in rural areas. Lots more on this subject in later posts.

Your Appraisal, nor Your Lender can offer you Protection on whether the Home your Buying is Worth It.. or if it is even Habitable.

Websites are pretty much the first point of contact in a real estate transaction

It is very important that you learn about marketing real estate on the Internet. What seems to be happening in the real estate industry, is that giant companies that have more Internet knowledge than you do are getting the potential real estate buyers to go to their website and then they are selling these leads back to you, the real estate professional in your local area.

However if you were knowledgeable about the Internet, and you were doing your own real estate marketing and advertising online, you would not need the services of a lead generation company. You will have to spend a certain amount of your income on advertising to position yourself in getting your listings found on the World Wide Web.

Many agents think they have a website or assume their company website is the only website they need. I have had agents tell me that they have a company website, which actually belongs to the franchise they work for and they claim that they get plenty of leads from this site, with seemingly no regard to the possibility that they may someday leave this company and the possibility that it would be much better for their business and for them to get these leads directly to them and not have these potential buyers be filtered through somebody else's decisions of where leads go to.

I have spoke to some real estate agents that have spent thousands of dollars on websites, and online marketing to get a space on the information superhighway. And they have told me that they have no idea if they're actually getting traffic to this website, they have no idea if they own the domain name to the website, they don't really know if the clients are coming from that website or the corporate head website or some other marketing they've done and they basically do not have a concept of what real estate marketing online is and what it means to them.

The wonderful thing about online marketing is that we can track it. For example, if you spent thousands of dollars in advertising in the Wall Street Journal, how do you know how many people have looked at your ad.

There may be statistics on how many papers go out to, how many people subscribe, but you have no idea how many of those papers went into the garbage or was dropped in the mud. How could you possibly know when and if your ad is read unless you have a tiny little video camera in each and every newspaper and a way to provide stats on this. Other than this how could you possibly know if anyone is looking at your ad. I guess the only way is if someone says hey I saw your ad or your phone rings. How can you tell if they even took a glance and you got any brand recognition, or if any eyeballs even took a look at what you had to offer. Without this you have no real ad campaign that you can actually track and tweak accordingly.

Internet Marketing is so much more advanced over traditional advertising portals such as newspapers, magazines and television that it is definitely, without a doubt here to stay. So in conclusion, if your business is here to stay than you had better plan on marketing YOU online.

Never Let a Realtor ..

Never let a Realtor talk you into signing a withdrawal, if you want to CANCEL your LISTING you have to sign a Cancellation, otherwise they will still get a commission.
r
If you don't FULLY understand the Terms (the Gibberish) On the Realtor Forms, make up your own form.
r
This is Your Life.. Take Charge..
r
and if the Realtor did Not Sign the Cancel Form.. it is NOT Cancelled just because they say it is..

How to Determine Land Value

Folks are you still signing real estate listing contracts without reading them?

I have had so many clients that refused to read their listing contract. This is not a good thing. They say that they just trust me. I don't want to be just trusted. I want people to know what they're reading and if they do not understand anything in it or any of the laws. I want them to either ask me to find out for them or find out for themselves and not take my word for it.
r
You need to read the Contract, make changes if you don't like what your seeing, YOU are a PARTY to the Contract, you have a Right to Change any of it.
r
Find Out MORE.. Do not Take the "Realtors" word for it, ONE week learning how to pass a Real Estate Test DOES not qualify anyone to give you Real Estate Advice.
r

Negotiable Fees ?

If your "Realtor" says they are not negotiable, is that not an Anti-Trust Violation?
r
Fees are Negotiable, Make sure your contract is written in a way you like, you are in charge, not your Realtor, your "Realtor" works for you, not Vice Versa.
r

Your Not Still Having Open Houses Are You?

I mean Come On..
r
Open Houses have NEVER been for Consumer, they have always been for the Realtors, and funny, the Sellers demand them quite often to get more supposed "action" but really it gets the Realtor more Buyers and Sellers and More Networking for them.
r
These Days open Houses are dangerous as well, you never know when your being "cased".
r
If you Use a Broker, they Need to Get Internet Marketing and to Look for a Buyer. You do not need Brokers to pitch your house to other Brokers, the object is to market to, solicit a buyer and to get to a closing Right? So why have a Realtor who makes it their job to market to other Realtors. It is a whole new world folks, either get the internet of give up.
r
If your Realtor don't get it.. Fire them and Sell without a Realtor.

the Current Real Estate Rules

The Real Estate Industry is Seriously Broken.
r
The Current Rule, Lack of Enforcing Laws and Ethics, and the Good Ol' Boys and Gals Network Hurts Real Estate Consumers Across the Board.
r
The Real Estate Industry is not good for most agents, does not provide real support for honest real estate agents, and is not geared toward easily having real estate laws enforced.
r
Real Estate Investors and the Real Estate Industry as a Whole is Seriously hurt by the Lack of Ethics Enforcement, the Protection of Certain "Realtors", the E and O insurance that hides Realtors Lies and Protects them from Real Accountability.
r

defend your consumer rights, speak out

STOP Using Realtors, Pay Attention to What NAR is doing, Saying, Lobbying that Directly hurts you.. but you see it benefits them, and then they benefit insurance companies, local government and much more in turn.
r

Almost 90% percent of FSBOs will be sold by real estate agents.

Is this True, many say this but I don't believe it.. if it is anywhere near true, that is because the Realtors have a Monopoly on your Real Estate Transaction, a Cartel, they make buyers think your real estate for sale is inferior to their listings when in fact it is not true.

Blasting an Entire Profession

There will be those who accuse me of Blasting an Entire Profession.
There are good, honest Realtor, but they are but a baby lamb in a Sea of VERY hungry Wolves.

charged an Internet Markteing Fee

Never Ever Pay your "Realtor" a Marketing fee, they use the marketing to Market them, they get way more buyers then what you will need. If you have this money to throw around then just advertise for yourself.
r
I knew a guy that paid $3000, the Realtor SOLD it a week later before ads came out, turned out the Realtor had the Buyer BEFORE he took that fee, but Now the Seller just lost the money and some marketing was done, but see this Only Benefits the Realtor in getting New Buyers..
r

Why do realtors lie and say....HEY... A BUYER'S AGENT DOESNT COST YOU ANYTHING?

Questions Asked..
r
The thing is Yes The Seller Pays the Commission, but Yes the Buyer Pays More due to this, Obviously.. the Funny thing is Oftentimes a Buyer pays the Same either way and the Seller does not back off that amount, so either the seller gets it or the "Realtor" gets it and the Buyer still pays.
r
It should be, Sell without a Realtor and the Buyer gets a break and more protection, however, not often the case..
r
Just Stop Using Realtors.. NAR Member .. Period..
