Running Your Business Like a Business

RECBL - Cash Buyers Lists
Running Your Business Like a Business

RECBL - Real Estate News

The following information is provided by the Center for REALTOR(R) Development (CRD), with assistance from Lauren Hampton and the Podfly editorial team.

Running your business-like a business-is crucial for getting maximum value out of it, and your efforts. As REALTORS(R), it is crucial to plan and be wise, and to think of yourself as a business owner at all times.

Episode eight of the CRD Podcast is the first of two episodes that explore different aspects of business planning for real estate professionals. Part one is a one-on-one by host Monica Neubauer and an industry expert.

Part two, which will release later this month of December, will be a panel discussion, so you can hear some different opinions on the same topic from peers.

Neubauers guest for episode eight is Mark Given. Given has been teaching real estate courses nationally since 2004. He has been president of and served on numerous committees for REALTOR(R) Associations at the national, state and local levels. In addition to his speaking, teaching, and volunteering careers, Given is a prolific author. Given has a book series about his trust-based business philosophy, and has also co-written four other books. His weekly blog, "Marks Minute," is read by thousands-you can sign up to get on the list on his website. Before launching his real estate career, Given spent 20 years as CEO of a multi-state retail sales and rental company.

Given and Neubauer talk about a number of things that should become part of your business plan: finding a mentor, how to foster a good broker relationship, and the cost of training (or not getting trained) in several areas, as well as niche positions in the market and keeping up with your past clients. They also discuss aspects of building a team and being proactive in your business. Below are some of the highlights and key ideas from the discussion.

Find the right brokerage for you. One of the first things a new agent has to do is find a brokerage firm. You need to find a good fit with your broker, so they can help nurture you and gain momentum. Look for a brokerage firm that has potential mentors, a good educational program, and a culture that connects with who you are. Looking for mentors both within and outside the company is important in getting honest answers to some important questions. Learning to ask good questions is a huge part of the real estate industry.

Budget for periods of uneven cash flow. Understanding the money aspect of real estate is important in showing a profit and actually making money in your business. You likely won’t be closing on any deals right away, and you have to budget for the periods of time that you don’t have any revenue. Some expenses include gas, marketing, MLS and association fees, and other additional business fees. Taking a class that talks about the cost of running your business is a great idea for new agents-you don’t want surprises that might cause stress that would prevent you from performing at your highest level. You also don’t want to get ahead of yourself; don’t spend your earnings before you make them!

Don’t skimp on training. Training should be part of your business plan, as well-and not only for new agents. There is always new information to be learned. It is very beneficial to do more training besides what is required for your continuing education. This can help grow your own confidence, and make your business more successful.

Find your special niche. Most agents run their real estate business as generalists. There are plenty of agents who succeed running their business this way, but Given has found that agents that take the time to specialize in a given niche often become the "go-to" person for that niche. If you’re going to run your business like a business, it’s in becoming really good at some part of a business that you become recognized as the best person for that part.

"Pick a niche and get really good at it and all of a sudden your business can really explode," explains Given.

Develop systems to help your business run more smoothly. It is crucial for people running a real estate business to have better systems. Some of these systems include contact management systems or systems that track your business profit. Your management systems are only as good as the information you put in them. You need to have some systems in place to make sure you’re doing things in a timely manner, and following up with your clients. There are many companies that already have these systems in place-take advantage of them! Start your day by making a plan for what you need to get done that day.

There is quite a bit more helpful information covered in episode eight, and we invite you to check out this particular episode, as well as the seven that came before it, at www.CRDpodcast.com, or wherever you sign up to listen and subscribe to your favorite podcasts.

5 Steps to Finding Your Best Mortgage Lender

RECBl - Cash Buyers Lists
5 Steps to Finding Your Best Mortgage Lender

RECBL - Real Estate News

(TNS)-You’re buying a home and you need a mortgage. How do you choose the right lender-one that will offer not only the best deal, but also good customer service?
You’ll find no shortage of banks, online lenders, mortgage brokers and other players eager to take your loan application. Here are five tips for selecting the best mortgage lender out of the bunch.

1. Compare Offers and Lenders
Start getting familiar with various lenders and the deals they’re offering by browsing through mortgage rates.

Lenders will "present price differently," notes Robert Davis, an executive vice president at the American Bankers Association (ABA). "Some lower rates might include fees with it, so the annual percentage rate is different than what you might think."

Also, understand that some lenders specialize. One might be a good choice if you’re financing a condo, while others might offer a better deal if you’re building your home from scratch. You’ll want to have a general idea of the type of property you’re interested in.

2. Check With Lenders and People You Know
You might find the right mortgage and the best lender without having to look very far. Go to the bank or credit union where you have a checking or savings account and ask about the types of mortgage deals that are available to current customers.

Compare any offer against what other lenders in your area and online and large national lenders will give you.

"Interest rates change as much as three or four times a day, so get quotes from three different (lenders) to increase your odds," says Brian Koss, executive vice president of Mortgage Network.

Be sure to ask family members and friends for referrals to loan officers and mortgage brokers who gave them good, professional service and helped them find the most competitive loans.

3. Decide: DIY or Hire a Broker?
One important decision is whether to seek out a mortgage and lender completely on your own or use the services of a mortgage broker.

A broker can help with your comparison-shopping by gathering quotes from several lenders, but it’s important to understand that a broker isn’t obligated to find the deal that’s best for you.

If you decide to work with a mortgage broker, it’s wise to look at how the loan offers from the broker size up against those you find on your own.

Look at differences in rates, fees, mortgage insurance and down payments-and compare what your bottom-line costs will be.

4. Talk With Your Real Estate Agent
Be sure to ask your real estate agent for lender recommendations. Smart loan officers rely on that business and take good care of the clients sent their way by local real estate agents.

Keep in mind that agents might have relationships with certain lenders, so when your agent gives you a name, ask whether there is any affiliation.

While some real estate brokerages have their own favored in-house mortgage lending businesses, good agents will not limit their referrals to those particular lenders.

5. Be Ready for a Possible Hand-Off
Many lenders will end up selling your mortgage to the secondary market, which means you will likely have a different company servicing your loan than your original lender.

This transfer is often outside your control, but you can ask the lender whether it knows if your mortgage will end up being serviced by a different company. If you want a lender you can reach out to immediately if problems arise, finding one who will hold onto your mortgage might be the best option.

"If it’s important for you to have local contact with the lender, then you’ve got to go to a bank that keeps your mortgage," says Davis.

5 Benefits to Having a Stager on Your Team

RECBL - Cash Buyers Lists
5 Benefits to Having a Stager on Your Team

RECBL - Real Estate News

The following information is provided by the Center for REALTOR(R) Development, with assistance from Lauren Hampton and the Podfly editorial team.

In episode 7 of the Center for REALTOR(R) Development Podcast, Monica Neubauer has a great conversation about home staging with Helen Bartlett of Kansas City Home Stagers.

Bartlett is a national award-winning home stager and home stylist who’s been staging homes in the metro Kanas City area in both Kansas and Missouri since 2011.

She has been recognized by Houzz with multiple service awards and "Influencer" and "Recommended" badges on her professional profile. Bartlett has also been named as one of the "Top 200 Influencers in the Home Design Industry for 2017," and recently co-authored a book, "Home Staging: The Power That Sells Real Estate."

As a REALTOR(R), having a stager as part of your team can be beneficial for both you and the seller. You will be appealing as an agent if staging is something you can offer your seller, and the stager can also help to share their best advice for the sellers, and that can help preserve the relationship between seller and REALTOR(R). Home stagers are on the same team as the real estate agent, because it’s about making a successful transaction for the REALTOR(R) and the homeowners. Below are five ways that having a stager on your extended client team can be a huge bonus:

1. A stager can provide a general staging consultation. Everyone selling their home should at least have a stager consultation. Something as brief as an hour-long consultation could lead to value in the thousands of dollars and runs at a reasonable rate. For REALTORS(R), you can make a consultation part of your business model, especially if you don’t particularly have an eye for decorating.

2. A stager can help you "edit" current furnishings. When a professional stager comes into a house that’s occupied and needs attention, one of the easier ways to highlight a home is to "edit" existing pieces of the house and de-clutter the house of things that can make the space feel outdated. Painting and updating the light fixtures are two of the least expensive ways to make a home seem relevant. These types of updates can make a home feel move-in ready, and when a home feels move-in ready for a buyer, they are willing to pay more.

3. A stager can help prospective buyers connect emotionally with a property. Home staging is more than just decorating. The difference between the two is a house versus a lifestyle. Staging allows the buyer to focus on the house and their emotional and psychological connection to it. It is especially important to stage a vacant house because when there’s nothing else to look at, the buyer may start to focus on the negative things. Once a buyer is connected to a house, they are willing to pay more for it, and a staged house may sell more quickly.

4. A stager can help you sell the property more quickly. Home staging is preparing your house to go on the market so that it sells quickly and gets the highest dollar by appealing to the most number of people. Some examples of staging are painting, cleaning, making repairs, or updating your home. The goal is to create a warm and welcoming house that will capture a buyer’s attention. Buyers want to see how they can live in that house.

5. A stager can help the seller sell their property for more. Staging usually costs anywhere from 0.5 percent to 3 percent of the list price, depending on where you are in the country. Typically, a staged home will net anywhere from 7 percent to 10 percent more than an un-staged home, which will likely more than cover the staging cost. The home will also likely sell more quickly, which will save you money on holding costs. Every home can benefit from some level of staging. Though it is a sellers market in many places in the country right now, with a little bit of staging, you can get multiple offers, or even over asking price.

Sometimes it can be hard for a homeowner to have a home stager come into their home and tell them the things they should change. Remind your clients that it’s important to keep an open mind, because, in the long run, it’s a service that will help them, and everyone else involved in the transaction. Everyone benefits from successful staging- the seller benefits from a quick sale at top dollar; the buyer benefits because they’re excited about making the space work for their lifestyle; and the real estate agent benefits from the referral business that could come from the successful transaction.

Economic Forecast Perks Up

RECBL - Cash Buyers Lists
Economic Forecast Perks Up

RECBL - Real Estate News

Analysts are amending their economic forecast due to higher GDP expectations, even as Hurricanes Harvey and Irma weigh on growth, according to Fannie Mae’s Economic & Strategic Research (ESR) Groups recently released Economic and Housing Outlook for September 2017.

The Outlook projects the economy will perk up 2.2 percent over the course of the year, up from the 2.0 percent initially reported.

"For the first time in 2017, we have increased our full-year growth outlook," says Doug Duncan, chief economist at Fannie Mae. "The upgrade reflects economic activity gaining momentum at the end of the second quarter, though we see a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the forecast. The list of uncertainties now extends beyond the geopolitical and legislative, as the effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma will require time to untangle.

"Historically, natural disasters that hit heavily populated areas led to substantial near-term declines in economic activity but meaningful rebounds in subsequent quarters due to rebuilding efforts," Duncan says. "Thus, economic growth in the second half of 2017 could still average a slightly stronger pace than the first half. Unfortunately, we continue to expect home sales to be flat during the second half of the year compared to the first half due to strong home price appreciation and lean inventories."

Real Estate Myths Debunked: Lead Generation Reminders

RECBL - Cash Buyers Lists
Real Estate Myths Debunked: Lead Generation Reminders

RECBL - Real Estate News

Lead generation is the key to selling real estate. In today’s digital world, 80 percent of buyers search for homes online which is why agents rely on websites, social media, and email to attract potential buyers.

However, agents can’t rely solely on digital marketing. A good old-fashioned phone call can still go a long way. To understand how to find qualified leads, well debunk three myths that many believe are true:

The identity of the agent is most important.
When a buyer searches a real estate website, they’re most interested in finding a list of homes for sale. While the identity and background information of an agent is valid, it’s not what drives buyers to the site. First and foremost, a real estate website should cater to the buyer by providing a searchable database of homes.

Asking buyers to fill out a short form online is best.
Most real estate sites encourage buyers to fill out short forms to save homes they like, learn more about a specific house, or get in touch with an agent. Many believe longer forms bother buyers and may even cause them to leave the site; however, that’s not the case. Conversion rates stay generally the same whether or not they include a comment section. Giving buyers the chance to ask a question or leave a comment allows agents to personalize their responses and provide better customer service.

Online responses are better than phone calls.
While many buyers conduct research online, that doesn’t mean it replaces a personal touch. Agents should use a balance of online tactics and more traditional communication options, such as a phone call or a face-to-face meeting.

Real estate agents must build relationships, which should be done through a combination of online and traditional communication. For a real estate agent to succeed it’s not about collecting hundreds of potentials, it’s about collecting qualified contacts. You want leads that are serious about buying a home.

If you need assistance finding quality leads, you can reach out to a marketing company to help you establish an online presence that attracts qualified buyers.

Start Strong, Finish Stronger with a Big Q4 and Happy New Year

RECBL - Cash Buyers List
Start Strong, Finish Stronger with a Big Q4 and Happy New Year

RECBL - Real Estate News

We’re about to begin the final stretch of the year. Even if you’re close to reaching your goals, now is not the time to give in to distractions. While it’s necessary to plan for time off at the end of the year, now is the time to work hard to not only reach your goals, but also set yourself up for 2018, as well.

Remember: the seeds you sow now are the referrals you’ll reap in the coming year. Finish the year strong and you’ll be able to maintain your momentum in the New Year.
Start planning for next year.
We live in a time of immediate gratification; however, success isn’t immediate-it takes years of planning and consistent practice to succeed. Although the plan doesn’t need to be set in stone, it is time to start thinking about next year. Creating a practical and disciplined plan, and then committing those goals to writing, will allow you to measure where you are and what proactive lead-generating activities you need to do to make your goals a reality.

Think long-term.
When you’re busy, it can be tough to plan ahead; however, once those transactions are winding down and the contracts are signed, it’s essential to have more business in the pipeline. Keep lag time at a minimum by making time for lead-generating activities, even when you’re busy. Focusing on the long-term will ensure you keep your momentum up and transactions on deck.

Get face-to-face with clients.
The relationships with your clients drive your business. The autumn season is an ideal time to get face-to-face with your best clients. Plan a fun client party that takes advantage of the season, such as a fall hayride or pumpkin picking. Or, swing by your clients homes with a small thank you gift, such as a small pumpkin, a pie or their favorite warm beverage. Don’t forget to thank them for their business and referrals, and ask them to continue to refer you. For more inspiration, here’s a "referral recipe." Give it a try for a week! If you meet new people in the process, be sure to get their information and add them to your database.

Make time for personal development.
Stay sharp and on top of your game by taking a class or seminar. Enroll in a local or online training or register for a real estate event near you. Continuous learning not only keeps you up-to-date on the market so you can serve your clients better, it also helps you stay motivated. When you commit to growing yourself, you help to grow your business.

Continue to track your activities.
Tracking allows you to monitor your progress so you can see how far you’ve come and know how much you need to do to achieve your goals. Knowing your numbers also helps you stay motivated to succeed.

Finish strong.
The more activities you do, the closer you become to your clients and the more referrals you may be able to generate if you ask or remind them. When you focus on the fundamentals, you can be sure you’ll finish strong.

Continue your success in 2018 by setting the stage for it now. Your fourth quarter is a sprint; schedule your goals and continue to work hard by utilizing productivity programs like the Blitz: Finish Strong. You'll be glad you did when the New Year comes!

It’s not just the speakers who are brought together with "Secrets of Top Selling Agents," but also the readers. No one reading this book is going to feel left out or like they need to switch companies to utilize the tips.

"This book is for you...whether you’re a brand-new agent or a veteran who’s looking to really build on their business and be able to take it to the next level."

How to Find a House Today

Cash Buyers Lists
How to Find a House Today


Cash Buyers List News
​This year may be the most difficult in a decade to buy a home, especially for a first-time homebuyer.

Prices are soaring in most markets, and for affordable starter homes, the price is rising faster than larger homes.* Supplies are suffering from a three-year inventory drought that also is hitting starter homes hardest.

The number of starter and trade-up homes fell 8.7 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively, during the past year, while the inventory of premium homes has fallen by just 1.7 percent, according to Ralph McLaughlin, Trulia’s chief economist.*

There’s little leeway for mistakes in today’s marketplace. Discipline is essential, and the learning curve is stepped. Buying a home is serious business, and in most markets today, it is the most difficult step in the process for move-up buyers, as well as first-timers.
Here are nine tips on house-hunting in today’s marketplace that will put you ahead of the competition and may spell the difference between success and failure.

Hire a specialist. If you had a serious medical condition, you would seek advice and treatment from a medical specialist. Real estate is also a large and complex field. Many brokers and agents specialize in delivering better service to their clients and customers. If you’re serious about finding a home today, hire a REALTOR(R) who specializes in serving buyers. Look for one with the designation ABR after their name. It stands for 
Accredited Buyers Representative and means that they are REALTORS(R) who have received specialized training from the Real Estate Buyers Agent Council (REBAC) and have experience representing buyers.

Even if you don’t hire a specialist, you should hire a REALTOR(R). Not all agents are REALTORS(R); REALTORS(R) are members of the National Association of REALTORS(R) (NAR) who are licensed and abide by NARs Code of Ethics. Hiring a REALTOR(R) with an ABR designation won’t cost you anything, and a professional’s assistance could make all the difference. Above all, don’t try to go it alone today. Last year nearly 90 percent of successful buyers used an agent.**

Don’t start your search until you are ready. It’s a good idea to spend some time online surfing real estate sites and learning about real estate and checking out what’s available; however, you aren’t a serious buyer until you have done all you can to improve your credit, raised the money you need for a down payment, been pre-approved for a mortgage from at least one lender and hired an agent

Make a budget and stick to it. The amount for which your lender pre-approves you is not your budget. Your pre-approved amount is conditional and can change when you apply for a mortgage. Moreover, it does not include many of the other costs of homeownership, like taxes, home insurance and maintenance.

Sit down with your agent, make your budget and stick to it. As a rule of thumb, economists recommend you spend no more than 30 percent of your gross income on housing costs. Make a pledge to yourself to stick to your budget. There are few heartaches worse than falling in love with a house you can’t afford or stretching yourself so thin that you are "house poor" for years to come.

House hunt every day. Looking for a house in today’s market is like having a second job. Financially, finding the right home may be even more important to you than a second job. The outcome of your search will determine where you live and how much you spend on housing for years to come. Be proactive with your agent to learn as much as you can about the home-buying process and conditions in your market. Spend time every day reviewing listings and learning about neighborhoods.

Drive the neighborhoods in which you are interested and go to open houses to get a feel for the market and to meet listing agents who may have a home that meets your criteria. Check out "coming soon" listings to get a head start on the competition.

Use a selection of sites. Most buyers start their house search on one of the major national real estate sites like 
realtor.com(R), Zillow or Homes.com. These sites have great features, research and how-to material. As you get more serious about finding a house, increase your selection of sites to include your local multiple listing services, if yours has a consumer site with listings (not all do). Also, bookmark several of the leading local brokerages in your market. Listings may appear earlier on a local brokerage site than a national site, and often updated information like contracts or price changes are posted first on the site of the listing broker who represents the property. Sign up for email updates of listings that fit your criteria.

Be flexible. You may find that you cannot afford to live where you would like, or you can’t afford the size or amenities you want. If those are deal-breakers for you, you may not be ready to buy in your market today-or you might revisit your plans and decide to live a little farther out from the city, buying an older house that you can improve over time. Starting out in a condo might be an acceptable alternative. Chances are prices in your market are not going to decline, and by buying now, you will begin to accumulate equity. Though mortgage rates have risen over the past year, they are still very reasonable by historical standards, which mean that the odds are they will continue to rise, rather than fall, in the future. Expand the geography and price ranges on the websites you are using and see what you find.

Sweeten your offer. When you find a house on which you want to make an offer, ask your agent for a comparative market analysis (CMA) to determine its value. Don’t rely on the estimated values provided by valuation tools on real estate sites. Knowing the value is important not just for deciding how much to offer, but also to anticipate how much the house will appraise for. CMAs are based on recent sales of comparable properties, similar to appraisals. Chances are you will be competing with other buyers, including investors who pay all cash. Sellers are not only looking for the best price; they also want an offer that will close on time from a buyer whose financing won’t fall through.

Consider sweetening your offer by increasing your down payment and getting more than one pre-approval. Be flexible on considerations like renting back if the owner is a move-up buyer who may need time to find a new home. If you are a move-up buyer, sell your current home before you buy a new one. Most sellers react negatively to offers that are contingent upon a buyer first selling his current home.

Don’t lose your deal. About 23 percent of contracts on homes today have a delayed settlement, and 7 percent of contracts fail to close and are terminated. The leading causes for delayed settlements are issues related to obtaining financing and appraisal issues. Among contracts that were terminated, 25 percent faced issues related to home inspections, and 20 percent had issues related to the buyers ability to obtain financing.***

One way to improve your odds for financing is to get more than one pre-approval so that you are ready to talk to a second lender if your first application fails. Most appraisal issues result from appraisals that come in lower than the contract price and buyers must come up with more cash. One way to protect against a low appraisal is to know the value of the house before you make an offer and make a larger down payment than you have to.

Persistence pays off. Don’t despair if a seller selects another offer over yours. Learn from your experiences. A better home may come on the market tomorrow. Last year buyers searched for an average of 10 weeks and looked at a median of 10 homes**, but that’s just a national average for all buyers. If you are a first-time buyer in a hot market, expect your hunt to take longer. Don’t quit when the weather turns cold. Fall and winter can be good times to find a home. There are fewer listings than in the spring or summer, but there’s also less competition, and sellers are usually more motivated.
