![]() 3 Tips On Writing A Good Real Estate ListingThe Goal of Your Listing or Ad is to Pull These People in and Get Them Excited About the Home You're Trying to Sell. Here are 3 Tips That Will Get Buyers Enthusiastic About Seeing a Property. ![]() The Circumspect AdjectiveThe rampant adjectives and overused superlatives in real estate advertising have become so common that they are often mocked as clichés. While an adjective thrown in with useful facts can be a charming accent, home buyers are more impressed by facts that help them decide whether the home is right for them. By paring down listings to sentences that impart needed facts while still being readable, you will make it more likely that home buyers will not ignore your listing by assuming that the flower ![]() Will a Credit Repair Service Help You Buy a Home?The charm of credit repair is the idea that for just $XXX you can have your credit score miraculously scrubbed of all the residue of missed payments, bankruptcies and other imbroglios. Credit repair company (CRC) advertisements sidle up to you with all the wit and subtlety of a man in the trench coat asking, “Hey, kid, wanna buy a watch?” and wait for your greed to overcome your good sense. ![]() Consider Investing in Vacant Land LotsA property can become valuable because of its proximity to a new development such as a shopping mall or activity center. As communities expand, land once considered "rural" may eventually fall within the city limits, making it more valuable as urban property. ![]() Your Substandard Photo Could be Damaging Your ListingDecent quality pictures make a subtle statement about the home's value; obviously a home that has been given stellar photographic treatment must be worth such treatment. Despite the importance of cold, hard facts (the living room is 12x12 feet; the property is 3 acres), giving home buyers great pictures to look at is going to be what makes them call or email. ![]() Home Sale Safety: Protect Your Home, Your Agent and yourselfSelling your home requires that you open your house to strangers and allow them access to areas that would normally only be open to trusted friends and family. Unfortunately, we can't trust everyone, even those who "look okay". Securing your home and property against crime is a good step to take, especially when you are allowing people you don't know to come inside. Protecting the interests of your real estate agent is also a big step in this endeavor. ![]() How to Win Sales and Influence ClientsEvery Realtor wants to have a sure line on how to immediately "connect" with a client. It doesn't exist. What does, however, are strategies whereby you can gain a greater desire on the part of your client to help you and garner positive recommendations. One might think that the client is the leader in this relationship, but this is not so. They are hiring you because of your expertise. You must lead them to what they want or as close as possible to it. Dale Carnegie, in his best-selling book, "H ![]() Go Away... Please? Dealing With Door-to-door AnnoyancesIf you are afraid that it's a burglar casing the joint, be obvious about your presence in the house or have a recording of a barking dog to play. But you don't have to open the door or engage the caller in any way if you don't feel okay with it. If someone claims to be having car trouble, you can always offer to call the police - from behind the locked door. ![]() Should You Invest in a Condo Conversion?A condo conversion can be done well enough that there is no real difference in quality from a conversion and a unit built for sale. However, many conversions are no more than a new paint job and don't feature the amenities that even the most basic built-for-sale condominiums feature, like decent-sized kitchens and washer/dryer hookups. Make sure that you know of all the amenities offered with the condo and all the amenities that are usually offered in similar condos. ![]() Check Out the Board Before Buying the CondoIf you're looking for a condominium, checking out the condo board is imperative. No matter how great your condo is, the board can mean the difference between a pleasant living situation and a hellish nightmare. The board is an important part of condo life and should play a part in your decision to buy. Attending at least one board meeting is something that everyone looking at a condo unit should do before making the decision to buy.
