Sellin Real Estate
Whether you’re interviewing listing agents, meeting with your listing agent for the first time, or following up with your agent after listing your home, there are some definite points that you should go over so that you can learn what to expect as a seller in your local real estate market. I’ve included some questions that you should ask before you list your home. If you’ve already listed your home, it’s not too late to ask these questions! Your real estate agent has hopefully already answered most of these questions. But, if he or she hasn’t, these topics will play a big role in selling your home in the coming weeks.
1) How long is it taking to sell a home in my market? (In other words, what is the DOM, or Days on Market, for the homes that have sold?)
2) What is the ratio of homes that have sold compared to the homes that have been listed? In other words, what is your home’s chance of selling if you list it? Keep in mind that a lot of homes are listed but don’t actually sell.
3) What are homes selling for versus the price they are being listed for? Your agent should be able to tell you a percentage difference for the asking price compared with the final sales price of homes in your area. Depending on where you live, this percentage difference can be a small amount or a considerable amount. This question is important because it leads to the next question.
4) What should I list my home for? This amount will partly depend on how much you owe on the mortgage, among other things. But, your agent should be able to do a CMA (Competitive Market Analysis) to show what comparable homes in your area are listing for – and selling for. Be sure to give your asking price some negotiating room. In this market, buyers are insulted if they’re not able to negotiate a good bit of money off the asking price, since buyers are really wanting to take advantage of market trends and “get a good deal”!
5) What services can you and your company provide me in order to give my home exposure to buyers? Your agent should be able to provide you with a list of services offered. These usually include newspaper or television ads, which generally don’t promote much of a response from buyers. So, be sure this list also includes internet sources, such as websites that receive good traffic from home buyers. The internet is becoming the most effective way to market homes, since 8 out of 10 home buyers start their home search online. This question is going to prompt a lot of other questions, so be sure to spend time on this topic with your listing agent.
6) Is there anything I need to do before we list the home? Your agent may recommend steam cleaning the carpet or doing some yard work. Unless your home is brand new, there will probably be a few things you need to do in order to spruce up your home and get it ready for showings.

Should You Join A Real Estate Partnership-Joint Venture?
Partnership in real estate or any venture is not a new idea. Many big projects can take shape because of partnerships or in the better terms consortiums. Most of the major real estate and infrastructure projects have been results of partnership between various companies. Real estate demands large investment and more the investment, more is the chance of making profit. So it is not at all a bad idea to get into a joint venture.
There are some things that must be clearly understood before getting into partnerships. The stability of partnership cannot be guaranteed. There are partnerships and joint ventures that have been lasting for decades and there are partnerships that hardly last the project. It automatically raises another question, whether investing with a partner in a reality project is a sensible proposition? The answer is not that simple. The factors that generally decide such partnerships depend on person, his solvency and trust. A known person is not always the right partner however close he might be. Also the investor must first set his goal. He must be fully aware about the time by which he wants his return, the amount of return and must also examine the offer of partnership and the reliability of such offers.
The first thing that should be the basis of any partnership is consensus. Remember that in a partnership no decision can be made by majority vote as in democracy. Until the partners agree on a matter it should not be proceeded upon as such actions can eventually lead to break-up of the partnership. Such break-ups can cause havoc to schedules when the matter is related to real estate. The result will be project delays and cost overruns and finally loss in the overall venture. This is not a way to do business. But if such a situation comes up when no consensus can be achieved then there must be a method to overcome the deadlock. The best way is to allow a third party to do the job of conciliation. He may be a consultant, any mediator or even a family member close to both the partners. But he should be influential enough to do the job.
A common way out is an agreement or deed of partnership. It should be a written document drafted by an attorney and acceptable to all the partners. The moment the deed is accepted the attorney will look after and be the attorney of the partnership. There are many types of partnerships like real estate investment trusts, tenant in common investment, limited liability partnership or limited liability corporation. You will have to choose from the one that you find most attractive.
To remain hassle free you can invest in a limited partnership as the liability is limited to only the invested capital. Also joining and leaving is no complicated affair and can be done anytime without dissolving the partnership. In such cases the general partners run the business and the profit is shared by all partners including the limited liability partners after deducting the administrative expenses and taxes.

How to Set and Achieve Your Goals in Real Estate
How to Set and Achieve Your Goals in Real Estate
by Larry Goins
I want to ask you two questions. One, do you have a Will? And two, do you have written goals for the next one, three, five and ten years? If you answered yes to the first question but no to the second, you are planning more for your death than you are while you are here. Think about it. I want to challenge you to start setting some goals, but remember if a goal is not in writing, it is simply a conversation. It must be in writing and it must have a deadline. Here are a few guidelines for setting goals. Oh, by the way... you need a will also.
Goals Must be Specific
I want you to be specific and include details but start rough. When you start rough for example, you want a Mercedes. You do not have to get into the details about what color, what options, that sort of thing, just write it down. Make your list huge, what kind of home do you want, what you want for your family, college education, spend more time, travel, anything you can think of. You can come back later and prioritize them and set them up as to what you want in one month, three months, six months, twelve months, then three, five, ten, twenty, thirty year goals. The more goals you have, the happier you will be, the longer you will live, and the more prosperous you will be.
Goals Must be Believable
Remember this, your goals must be believable, by you, or you will not pay the price. They must be believable, they must be just out of your reach, but you must know you can reach them, if you really strive to do it.
Goals Must be Measurable
You cannot set a goal to be financially independent. There is no way you can measure that. You need to set a goal for the amount of income you want per month, per year, the amount of equity that you want in properties - one, three, five, ten and twenty years. It must be measurable. That way you can break it down to what I call "reduce it to the ridiculous". If you know you want to earn $100,000 a year, you know that is $8,333 per month. That's just one deal a month where I live. One of the things I have learned is, successful people set their goals quickly and they make adjustments as they go along. Just like successful people make decisions quickly, they do not vacillate in indecision or what I call sometimes; get mixed up in a funk of negativity.
Goals Must be Congruent
Your goals must also be congruent with your actions. You cannot set a goal to work harder, longer hours AND a goal to spend more time with your family. Those are not congruent. They must be congruent with your actions.
Visualize What You Want
Another good thing that will help you with your goals is to visualize what you want. If you see yourself as already having achieved the goal, you will fake out your mind and your mind sees the goal as already having been achieved. It's called "fake it till you make it". I used to do this all of the time. Just take a minute or two each day and think about life as it is with your goals already accomplished. It's really easy when you get used to it.
Work Your Goals
The next thing you want to do is work your goals, work on the priority that moves you closer to your goals every day.
Number Your Goals
Number your goals in the order of importance. Not only is the goal important but so is the reason. Sure your want a car, but why do you want the car? Sure your want more money, but why do you want money? You want to be able to spend more time with your family, you want to be able to travel, you want to buy a Hummer, and you want to have an ocean front condo or send your children to the best college. Whatever it is, the reason must be there. The reason is more important than the goal itself.
Review, Monitor and Make Adjustments
Another thing you need to do is review, monitor and make adjustments on your goals. You have to be flexible. Some things are not going to happen, you have to face that; but you need to continuously strive to get better every day. If you will work harder on yourself than you do on your job then you will always be growing. Remember that last sentence and write it down as it is worth repeating.
The Goals Must Have a Deadline
As I mentioned first, your goals must have a deadline. A goal without a deadline is just a conversation. When beginning to set your goals, I want you to set your goals in four basic areas:
Financial
You will set goals based on income, equity or net worth and cash flow. All of these are financial goals.
Fitness
This is your health. If you don't feel good, chances are that you are not working at your maximum capacity. So, I want you to set some fitness goals to stay healthy. Remember "an apple a day"? What if this is right and you are not doing it? Start small though, you don't try to tackle all of these at once; but you need to be healthy not only for you but for your family as well.
Family
Set family goals. What is an example of a family goal? Maybe you want to take four vacations a year. Maybe you want to visit a new state, three times a year or five times a year. Maybe you want to go see the Grandparents two or three times a year; but maybe not. Anyway, you get the point.
Faith
You need to set some spiritual goals, some faith goals. I am not going to get into a lot of detail about that but that will help you along your way. Remember, if you slip in one area of your goals, you are probably slipping in some other areas. Another thing I want you to think about is the people you associate with. Take a minute and think about this. If you think about your ten closes friends annual salary and divide it by ten, then that is pretty close to what you make. I'm not telling you to get rid of your friends, all I'm saying is whom you associate with, is who you are like, so please keep that in mind. Don't get rid of your friends, just get some more that are where YOU want to be financially. Most of the people I hang out with now, we all make over $500,000.00 a year. That just blows me away. I never imagined I could make that kind of money…. Well I guess I could, as we are talking about goal setting and visualization aren't we? Thanks and I look forward to working with you.

You can come back later and prioritize them and set them up as to what you want in one month, three months, six months, twelve months, then three, five, ten, twenty, thirty year goals. The more goals you have, the happier you will be, the longer you will live, and the more prosperous you will be.
Goals Must be Believable
Remember this, your goals must be believable, by you, or you will not pay the price. They must be believable, they must be just out of your reach, but you must know you can reach them, if you really strive to do it.
Goals Must be Measurable
You cannot set a goal to be financially independent. There is no way you can measure that. You need to set a goal for the amount of income you want per month, per year, the amount of equity that you want in properties - one, three, five, ten and twenty years. It must be measurable. That way you can break it down to what I call "reduce it to the ridiculous". If you know you want to earn $100,000 a year, you know that is $8,333 per month. That's just one deal a month where I live. One of the things I have learned is, successful people set their goals quickly and they make adjustments as they go along. Just like successful people make decisions quickly, they do not vacillate in indecision or what I call sometimes; get mixed up in a funk of negativity.
Goals Must be Congruent
Your goals must also be congruent with your actions. You cannot set a goal to work harder, longer hours AND a goal to spend more time with your family. Those are not congruent. They must be congruent with your actions.
Visualize What You Want
Another good thing that will help you with your goals is to visualize what you want. If you see yourself as already having achieved the goal, you will fake out your mind and your mind sees the goal as already having been achieved. It's called "fake it till you make it". I used to do this all of the time. Just take a minute or two each day and think about life as it is with your goals already accomplished. It's really easy when you get used to it.
Work Your Goals
The next thing you want to do is work your goals, work on the priority that moves you closer to your goals every day.
Number Your Goals
Number your goals in the order of importance. Not only is the goal important but so is the reason. Sure your want a car, but why do you want the car? Sure your want more money, but why do you want money? You want to be able to spend more time with your family, you want to be able to travel, you want to buy a Hummer, and you want to have an ocean front condo or send your children to the best college. Whatever it is, the reason must be there. The reason is more important than the goal itself.
Review, Monitor and Make Adjustments
Another thing you need to do is review, monitor and make adjustments on your goals. You have to be flexible. Some things are not going to happen, you have to face that; but you need to continuously strive to get better every day. If you will work harder on yourself than you do on your job then you will always be growing. Remember that last sentence and write it down as it is worth repeating.
The Goals Must Have a Deadline
As I mentioned first, your goals must have a deadline. A goal without a deadline is just a conversation. When beginning to set your goals, I want you to set your goals in four basic areas:
Financial
You will set goals based on income, equity or net worth and cash flow. All of these are financial goals.
Fitness
This is your health. If you don't feel good, chances are that you are not working at your maximum capacity. So, I want you to set some fitness goals to stay healthy. Remember "an apple a day"? What if this is right and you are not doing it? Start small though, you don't try to tackle all of these at once; but you need to be healthy not only for you but for your family as well.
Family
Set family goals. What is an example of a family goal? Maybe you want to take four vacations a year. Maybe you want to visit a new state, three times a year or five times a year. Maybe you want to go see the Grandparents two or three times a year; but maybe not. Anyway, you get the point.
Faith
You need to set some spiritual goals, some faith goals. I am not going to get into a lot of detail about that but that will help you along your way. Remember, if you slip in one area of your goals, you are probably slipping in some other areas. Another thing I want you to think about is the people you associate with. Take a minute and think about this. If you think about your ten closes friends annual salary and divide it by ten, then that is pretty close to what you make. I'm not telling you to get rid of your friends, all I'm saying is whom you associate with, is who you are like, so please keep that in mind. Don't get rid of your friends, just get some more that are where YOU want to be financially. Most of the people I hang out with now, we all make over $500,000.00 a year. That just blows me away. I never imagined I could make that kind of money…. Well I guess I could, as we are talking about goal setting and visualization aren't we? Thanks and I look forward to working with you.
Advice For Buying A Property At
Advice For Buying A Property At Auction
by Jason Sands
Buying property at auction is a pleasant change from the conventional methodologies but at the same time it is equally important to carefully bid property at an auction. There are few basic guidelines to consider when buying properties at auction. Before getting started search for appropriate auction house listing properties you are interested in and request for their catalog. Auction houses generally organize regular auction sales with printed catalogs few weeks in advance. Subscribing to catalog mailing list is another option. This will give you an overview for the motive behind the property is being sold and the mortgage details of the property. Read the catalog carefully and go through each and every detail provided. Mark all the properties you are interested in buying.
It is always recommended to attend an auction as an observer to get the real feel and to understand its modus operandi. Request from the auction organisers for the auction pack and the auction you have decided to attend. The auction pack encloses information like the title deeds, seller's information form, local authority and environmental searches, lease details in case of leasehold property. In addition to the legal checks it is important to visit the property in person. Research on the property intensively and inquire through neighbors and local estate agents. Hire a qualified property advisor to carefully examine the property for spotting structural problems. After you finished the survey of the property crosscheck with the descriptions provided in the catalog.
The next step involves carefully planning the accurate costs. It is important to consider additional costs as costs of survey and legal advice, finance arrangement fees, stamp duty, remodeling and renovation costs, buyer's premium if any. These costs if not considered might consume most of your margin and in worst cases you might end up paying from your own pocket. Carefully read all the contract and auctioneers terms and conditions mentioned in the catalog. Minutely examine all the details or seek legal advice from a solicitor or a chartered surveyor. Get the money required for deposit arranged in advance. You are required to pay 10% of the cost of the property on the auction day when the contracts are signed and remaining balance to be paid in full within 28 days. If you need mortgage assistance it is wise to plan ahead or you might end up losing the 10% deposit in event of non-payment of the required amount within 20 working days.
Allocate a fixed budget for yourself before entering the auction room. Be firm and decisive on how much you are willing to spend and do not get carried away by emotions in heat of the moment. You can also appoint an auctioneer or a solicitor to do the bidding for you. On the actual day arrive well in advance and get a nice seat for yourself so that the auctioneer can easily acknowledge your bidding signal. Keep your eyes open to your surrounding and carefully listen to the opening announcements. You are also required to carry a couple of identification papers and a cheque to cover the 10% deposit.
Buying a property at an auction can be fruitful if you sincerely follow the basic strategy. You might end up buying the best property at almost nominal price.
