Real Estate Agent Referrals

Ask most real estate agents and they’ll tell you that they want to market themselves better on the Internet. You see there’s an entire industry built up around ‘helping’ the real estate agent market themselves to consumers via the Internet. A host of companies, seminars, speakers exist and all promising the ‘secrets’ to ‘unlimited income’ through the online marketing. Of course, most of these services have a price tag associated with them in the form of a non-refundable fee. They get paid whether or not the real estate agent makes one dime from their program. That’s why there’s so much turnover within the real estate agent ranks. New agents looking for a way in to the highly competitive field are easy targets for ‘get rich quick in real estate’ schemes.

Flat Fee Services Allow Home Owners To Pay Only For Services You Use

But it isn’t for everyone

Many of these disadvantages are related to the actual "legwork" involved in the process that is normally handled by a Realtor. There are a number of aspects involved in the sale of a home with the FSBO method where owners can find themselves at a loss, literally.

We don’t want to white gloss the FSBO process. It isn’t for everyone. There are some parts of the process that can be overwhelming or confusing for some home owners who sell on their own. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn to do it yourself. You just have to have to commitment to learn how it’s done and do the right way.

If you do get stuck, you can always hire a real estate agent to handle those parts of the process you won’t or can’t do yourself. That’s the beauty of flat fee services. You do what you can and pay only for the services you use.

Jerry Seinfeld Should Have Better Negotiated His Real Estate Commission

As it is, he must pay his real estate agent for doing nothing

Jerry Seinfeld’s high-priced spread is going to cost him about $100,000 more.

Seinfeld had argued that the broker, Tamara Cohen, didn’t deserve the commission because she failed to show the West 82nd Street brownstone on the Jewish Sabbath, the day the Seinfelds wanted to see it.

The Seinfelds looked at the house and made a deal to buy it after they were unable to reach Cohen and she failed to return their calls.

Jerry Seinfeld evidently wasn’t aware that he must pay a commission to the real estate agent who led him to a home he purchased even if that agent didn’t show the home. Essentially, this agent got a big paycheck for doing nothing. You could find yourself in a similar situation. Here’s how to avoid it:

  • Don’t use an agent
  • If you do use an agent, negotiate your commission
  • Ask for less than 3% if the agent doesn’t show the house or prepare paperwork
  • Request that the procuring clause be struck from the contract – that’s the clause that allows real estate agents to cash in up to 90 days after you terminate the relationship even if they do nothing to earn a commission

Are You Ready To Sell On Your Own

If not, find an agent and negotiate your commissions

Are the financial savings of not paying a commission to a Real Estate Agent worth the time, frustration and disappointment that some times goes along with selling your own home?

Can you deal with the low offers that will be presented?

Do you understand the legal requirements of selling your home?

Are you willing to work with a team of professionals to sell your home?

Are you willing to invest the time and money necessary to market your home?

Do you have the time to be on the market 2 to 4 weeks more than the average sale in your area?

If you’re questioning whether selling on your own is right for you, then you may not be ready. Do a little homework. Find out what other owner-sellers have been challenged with and how they overcame their challenges. You are much better going into it with your eyes wide open than trying to sell on your own when you aren’t ready. And if you aren’t ready, that’s OK. Go find yourself an agent and pay those high commissions. But be sure that you are doing it for the right reason.

Sellers Must Sell To The Market

Even in Philadelphia, the real estate market rises and falls

But while many area real estate agents expect price declines to continue into 2007, there are also signs the housing market slowdown may be nearing its bottom.

If this is true, then you can expect prices to start rising again next year. Of course, the real estate market is different everywhere you go. In Philadelphia, it could rise and fall while is falls and rises somewhere else. That’s just the nature of the market. High and lows in a great big moving wave.

Nevertheless, don’t pin your hopes on a rising market. You’ve got a property to sell. If you have to sell it now, then you have to do what it takes to sell in this market. If don’t need to sell until next summer but you know you’ll have to sell before August, then you’ll have to adapt your sales strategy for the market. The question is, how do you do that?

You Can Be The First FSBO Seller To Use YouTube

Link your YouTube video tour to your IHS Realty home listing

So this real estate agent takes her digital camera. Not video camera but a digital camera that takes small clips. She takes little clips of the inside of her clients house and puts it up on You Tube. She gets several offers right away and sells the house.

Here’s a new strategy for you:

List your house at IHS Realty. Produce a video tour of your home and post it to YouTube. Direct viewers of your video tour to your IHS Realty listing, which includes your contact information.

Let’s face it. YouTube is one of the highest ranked web sites online. That’s why the real estate agent was so successful. Lots of traffic. Lots of viewers. Why not make that work for you? You can be the first home owner to sell their house on their own – without a realtor – using YouTube. Give history a chance.
