So, a while back, I started a series about what makes a good agent. There are obviously two sides to a deal. The agent that represents the buyer, known as a buyers agent or the selling agent. Then, there is the agent that represents the seller, known as a listing agent. I wrote about some of the general things that makes a good agent with the part I of this series. Then, I posted what makes a good buyer's agent. Now, we will talk about what makes a good listing agent. #1) Knowledge- I started to try to list out everything that a good agent should know. And, well, it was a long list. Here are the five major things that jumped out at me. Property value- You don't want to ask too much and have the listing go stale, and you also don't want to under price your home and leave money on the table. (of course, in this market under priced homes are quickly bid up..so, believe it or not, it is even better to under price your home right now than to over price it) Marketing- How to get the most eyes on your property. Yes, the listing services are a great start. It is more than just that. It is having a great website that ranks highly on Google. It is featuring them on Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com. It is about getting them on Craigslist, Facebook, and Backpage. Basically, everywhere you can get them. Some agents feel it is a waste of time to run Craigslist and Backpage ads. But, the first time homebuyer often starts there because they are comfortable with that sight. They have looked for things there already. Most people try the familiar first. Loan products and lenders- Why does this matter? The seller isn't getting a loan. The seller isn't buying the house. Why should the listing agent care? Well, there are many different loan programs out there. And, so many things depend on the type of loan. The listing agent should know the different types of loans and what the implications are. The two biggest factors that change with loan types are time to get done and repairs required. Some loan programs will require you to fix certain things. So, you may be looking at two similar offers and decide based on price alone. Only, one loan type may cost you thousands in repairs that the other would not have. Oh, and of course, if the listing agent knows the loan types, then they can help you navigate those waters more smoothly and get the house closed on time. Common negotiating strategies- So many people think that the only thing that matters is price. But, this couldn't be further from the truth. Some buyers' agents actually overbid to get the house under contract, only to then negotiate the price during due diligence. Some look to have ridiculous contingency periods that protect them long after what is reasonable and well into the realm of abusive. Some overbid, knowing that the appraisal will knock it down. Other than perhaps the first one, these are not 'improper'. They are just strategies. There are more, especially when you get into different types of sale. Many negotiations are like chess matches. The good agents see the board from many different angles. Contracts- We use standardized forms. However, so many agents have misconceptions about parts of the form. It's as if we don't need to read and understand them, because it is a 'standard' contract. And, due to this complacency, many agents put their clients in jeopardy by an improperly completed field. #2) Communication- This is one of the most common complaints I hear. This is key. Not only to the seller, but also to other agents. I know how frustrating it can be calling a listing agent to show a home and not hearing back for days. Or, calling with a question so that I can submit an offer and hearing nothing. And, of course, communicating with the seller to let them know what is going on and what you are doing to get their house sold. #3) Willingness to invest time, money and resources- Listing agents are only paid if they sell the home. Due to this, some are unwilling to invest the proper amount of time or, more importantly, money to getting the listing marketed correctly. The shortcuts that they take will help their wallet, but it certainly doesn't help your home sell or sell for as much as possible. #4) Knowing our own limitations- I do not stage homes, nor do I take the photos that go on all my marketing. I hire a certified staging specialist and a professional photographer. Does this increase my expenses and decrease my bottom line? Yes. I could easily walk around and give you mediocre staging advice. But, I know that homes sell better when staged. And, I know that those photographs are what represents your home to millions of people. This is so very important, especially in upper price ranges. It isn't just about getting your home sold. It is about getting the most for your home in the shortest amount of time. #5) Counsel- Your agent is your advocate. And, they should be willing to go to bat for you at all times. That should never change. They represent you in this transaction. However, they should also be able to put things in perspective. The other party may not be in the right. However, it may cost you more in the long run to be right, than to let the other party have their way. The agent has to be able to frame those conversations. Like I said at the beginning, there is a lot that goes into being a great listing agent. It would be hard to pick the most important. I supposed it would be integrity. A person who has integrity would work on the rest because they would know how important each of these is. What do you think the most important attributes are? This is an awesome home in a great neighborhood in the Collins Hill School District. The first thing that the owner said to me was that she will miss these neighbors. They all get together and have cookouts, they all watch out for each other and even have each other's cell phones.
And, the Collins Hill School District speaks for itself. House is in great shape. Carpet and paint are in new condition. Three bedrooms, two full baths upstairs. One the main level you have a family room, dining area, eat in kitchen. Then, you have a recroom finished on the lower level with a wetbar. Just a ton of house for the money. Listed at $125,000.00. Hurry. We all know that the market for this price home is crazy. Interested? Call me at 678-992-3817. I can't tell you how many times I have went to look at a home that was listed as a four bedroom that was actually three bedrooms, or listed as having one extra bathroom. (I don't think this is often intentional by the agent, I think that most often, it is just a mistake) This may get 'more' people through the front door, but even the ones who were fine with one fewer bath or one fewer bedroom feel disappointed when they are viewing your home. And, the feeling of disappointment is not what you should be going for. I have also seen agents list the house as having one fewer bedroom or bathroom. While those who go to see it are pleased to get more than they thought, the reality is that the home was taken off the lists of several buyers who needed (or at least thought they needed) that extra bedroom or bathroom. Lot size is pretty easy to get, you just have to check tax records, yet.... I see tons of listings everyday that the lot size is incorrect, or not listed at all, and also incorrectly indexed. Square footage is difficult. I encourage my buyers not to search by square footage. Many agents don't list the square footage at all and the agents who list it often get it from tax records, which are often incorrect or hard to read. But, realize that many buyers do search by it and if you don't have the square footage indicated, or it is listed as less because the tax records are wrong, you are getting fewer buyers. And, perhaps the worst mistake of all.... incorrect school district, or failing to list a school district altogether. I see this error as much as I see any other. And, I assure you that this one thing can affect your listing as much, if not more, than any other. Especially if your home is in the suburbs in a community that appeals to families. Make no mistake that the biggest single criteria I get from families with children is school district. Sometimes it is just one district that they consider, sometimes it is a list of three possible school districts. And, it isn't always just based on academics. Sometimes it is an awesome athletic department, or an awesome theatre department, and awesome technology department, or an awesome media/journalism program. So, if your agent doesn't want to spend the 10 minutes or less necessary to determine your school district, then you could be leaving thousands of dollars on the table. And, today's real estate search engines - whether it be MLS used by agents, or consumer sites such as Zillow and Trulia - can break it down even further. We can narrow a search down the most minor details. If your home has granite counterops, but doesn't get listed as having granite countertop, then the buyer who won't buy anything without it....never sees your home. And, this is just one feature. You can search for whirlpool tub, garden tub, hardwood floors, trey ceilings, separate living and dining rooms, formal dining room, lot size, square footage...you get the picture, and that is a very, very small list. The point is to list the home accurately so that the buyers that your home fits the best actually come and look at it, and to have as many of those buyers as possible. That is how you get the best possible price for your home. So, once you have your home listed. (even if it is listed with me) Ask for a copy of the listing and then go over it. Check how they describe the home, but more importantly, make sure all the 'facts' about the house are correct. Otherwise the buyer who were hoping for is not even going to see your home, other than when they are driving by to look at another home for sale in your neighborhood. What is a Due Diligence Contingency? When going into a contract, there are several protections for the buyer. This post will be covering the due diligence contingency. IN other words, the deal is contingent on the buyer doing their due diligence. Due diligence is defined: Reasonable steps taken by a person in order to satisfy a legal requirement, esp. in buying or selling something. The due diligence contingency is active for a specified length of time. This time is negotiable and can be any length that the parties agree on. The seller will want this as short as possible and the buyer will want this as long as possible. This length of time is called the due diligence period. The easiest way to describe the due diligence period is a period of time that the buyer can terminate the contract for any reason. This is the time that you will get your inspection completed, get any additional information about the HOA you need to know, and, well, do your due diligence. In other words, discover any and all information that would cause or preclude you from buying the home. The most common reason that someone terminates a contract during due diligence is that the inspection uncovers an issue that the seller is not willing to fix. However, as mentioned above, the buyer can terminate the contract for any reason. If at any point during the due diligence, the buyer changes their mind, they get their earnest money returned. Don't hesitate to make an offer! As many buyers, especially those purchasing below $150,000.00 realize, there is a lot of competition in the market right now. There aren't enough homes being listed and those that are are getting put under contract within days, if not hours. If you want to sleep on it, you won't have the opportunity to purchase it when you wake up in many cases. So, right now, it is imperative that you put in an offer as quickly as possible, and use the due diligence period to fully investigate it and ensure you want to go forward. Word of caution: Some REO companies do not allow for due diligence, they have an inspection period. These are a bit more restrictive in the reasons you can terminate the contract. However, these companies move slowly in responding. You won't have signed contracts for a few days. Until the contract is signed, it is not binding and you can terminate. Final word: No one wants to rush the decision to purchase a home. It is a huge purchase and you want to be sure that this is the home for you. That said, you absolutely cannot handle these decisions the way we have traditionally handled them. You can't 'think about it'. You have to act. Be decisive and know you have protections if you discover something that makes the house not work for you. Oh, and of course, make sure you have an agent that knows how to protect you, and someone that can explain all the contingencies. Happy Hunting and good luck! Well, first, let me apologize, for being away from the blog for so long. I try to never let a week go by without posting something, but I have been busy being a good buyer's agent. (and a good listing agent, but that isn't the point of this post) If you are currently in the market, I am sure you have had this experience. You are looking around, maybe on http://www.metroatlantagarealestate.com/ , you find the exact perfect listing. You call an agent, and low and behold, the home is under contract, or even closed already. Or, lets say you are working with an agent, and by the time you are finding out about things, they are already under contract, you have missed the highest and best deadline, or you are competing against 60 other offers. Nope, that is not an exaggeration. 1818 Stonebrook Way, Lawrenceville, GA 30043 had over 60 bids. This can grow frustrating and disheartening. So, what does a good agent do? Well, first, a good agent should be setting your expectations. It is one thing to know all this going in, it is another to have missed out on four or five homes a month into it and then find out about this. A good buyer's agent should also set you up on a market alert system of some sort. If you are not getting daily emails with anything new that has come on the market that fit your criteria, then by the time you meet with your agent again and find it, it will be too late. If you have objected to the listing alerts, rethink your position. If your agent has offered them, rethink your agent. A good buyer's agent should know what is going on and be able to pull comps for you so that you understand what the true market value is and also show you what the current market is doing. Your offer is up to you, but if you are putting in unrealistic offers, that does nothing but waste time and cost you an opportunity to own the house you want. However, the flip side of that, bidding way over list price and buying well above market value isn't smart either. Yes, homes are appreciating. Yes, you are competing against other buyers. Yes, you will need to pay market value. No, you don't need to pay 10% OVER market value. As agents, our income and livelihood is not determined by how many clients we have or how many offers we write. Our ability to fee our families is determined by our ability to getting the offer accepted, and ultimately, you closing on that home. That puts pressure on the agent to, perhaps, push you farther than you should go. Again, remember, I led with the fact that you should be putting in realistic offers. But, your agent should be able to counsel you on that and why. Paying above market is fine and perfectly understandable in this market. So long as you love the house, and you KNOW you are paying at the top of the market if not above the market. A good buyer's agent should have a network of resources. The most important is a lender. So much of how well a transaction goes, is resting solely on the lender's shoulders. A bad lender can cost you the earnest money and the ability to close on the house you want. Not to mention loads of stress and frustration. A good buyer's agent doesn't get anything from a referral to that mortgage company other than the peace of mind that you will be well taken care of. Okay, so we also feel more comfortable that you will be able to close and that we will be able to get a paycheck. A good buyer's agent should also have a few good inspectors and home warranty companies as well. That is stuff that all buyer's agents should be doing. So, what is above and beyond. Well, we all know there is limited inventory and countless bidders. So, is your agent finding homes that aren't listed? If I can't find something that someone is looking for on the market, I knock on doors. Some seller's don't realize that they can easily sell their home right now. Does this work? Absolutely. I have several clients right now looking in the 130K and below price point. (this price point is in the highest demand of any) I have found two of them unlisted houses that I expect to go under contract this week. In a balanced market, you can afford to wait for the 'right' listing to come along. In this market, your agent needs to go above and beyond. A good buyer's agent take fiduciary responsibility seriously. Recently, I was helping a couple. I flat out missed a landfill that was proximate to the home they had just put under contract. You are probably wondering how you miss a landfill. I knew about the landfill. I did not realize that it was that close to the subdivision they were buying in. The entrance is well away from the home, it just covers a much larger area than I expected. Well, we found out about this AFTER they had put down a non-refundable $5000.00 deposit. It was new construction, and they were paying for upgrades. I knew that they were depending on me to inform them about anything like that. I made a mistake. So, I guaranteed that they would either get their money refunded, OR I would pay it from my pocket. Was there any legal requirement for me to do this? No. It clearly states in the contract that this falls under the buyer's responsibility. But, I knew that they were depending on me. That is why you get an agent, right? In the end, I was able to get their money back. (It is amazing how much weight it carries when your brokerage has such a huge market share in your area that the builder knows that a bad reputation would cost far more than $5000.00) Remember, you are hiring the agent to guide you in all parts of the transaction. Not just 'sell' you a house. This isn't a used car, and your agent shouldn't act like a used car salesperson. A good buyer's agent should be available and be able to give you answers. I am perplexed about how many calls I get from other agent's clients. Their agent is on vacation and they would just like to look at a house. Their agent can't figure out what is going on with a listing and on and on. Everyone should be allowed to take a vacation, but an agent should never expect someone to put their home search on hold while they take time off. I have other agents I refer things to when I go on vacation. (Well, if I ever to decide to go on vacation, I have other people to refer clients to) There is no excuse for not having another agent lined up to help in the event that they are unavailable. Buying a home is a big deal. And, there are important time frames that must be met. As far as the answers part of this. I admit, I have things that I look at that some agents don't know about, or don't think to look at, or are too lazy to deal with. Having the experience as an appraiser, loan officer and investor has taught me to be able to dig a little deeper than most agents. But, MOST of the time, any agent can answer most of the buyers questions about a property if they just took the time to look. Finally, a good buyer's agent is your advocate. When you look at the property, they are looking for any potential issues. They aren't directing your eyes away from them. When they talk to you, they make sure to explain the situation fully and all the ramifications, but when they are talking to the other party, there is no sign of weakness or lack of unity. They write the contract to best protect you, not obligate you. They negotiate the best they can to get the other party to compromise, not get you to compromise. So, if you are like me, you have a lot of logic built into you. You see that home prices are rising, and of course, we are still way off the highs that we saw a few years back. So, why not wait it out?
Excellent Question! I am so glad you asked, and there are so many factors, this is a long post. (If you start to get tired, at least skip ahead to 5-C, you do not want to miss what very few if anyone is talking about) Interest rates are incredibly low. This can affect you in three ways. a. If you are going to buy a home, then you are obviously going to be able to purchase more home with lower rates. b. In the same way, rates will affect your pricing as well. Once rates start going up (and they will), your homes appreciation, will slow, stagnate, or even fall. c. And something that you may not consider, the urgency will be gone from buyers. Sure, there will always be buyers. But, right now, buyers are worried that they are missing out on a great opportunity to buy when the market is off it's highs and the interest rates are so low. 2. Recovery to the highs of just a few years ago will not be seen anytime soon. a. Home prices grew well in advance of the affordability index. In other words, home values appreciated well above where they should have. Will that happen again? I am sure it will. It happened in the late 80's through early nighties. Then it happened in the mid 2000's. So, you only have to wait 10-15 years. (If then, if you read further, you will see why this may never happen again) b. Home prices were pushed up because buyer's buying ability continued to increase. The ability to get a loan at that time was much easier, and many loans were made that should never have been made. They had stated income loans, and if the person's occupation didn't 'reasonably' make that amount, then they would just do a 'no doc' loan. The lender was able to charge a higher interest rate, and the buyer was able to get a home that they would not otherwise have been able to. And, of course, real estate is always going up, so it was a smart...'investment'. c. Appraisal guidelines have gotten much stricter. The reality is that an appraisal is an opinion of value. And, appraisers are licensed or certified, they train under a mentor and they are required to perform their work ethically. Unfortunately, appraisers have proven to be corruptible on occasion. To combat this, the lenders have tightened the guidelines to require appraisers to provide much more documentation. Additionally, now, the appraisers have an appraisal management company review the appraisal even before the underwriter. So, even actual appreciation is harder for the appraiser to prove. And, as we progress in the information age, so many things are put to computer modeling. Home values are no different. As this has become more prevalent, the appraiser's discretion has become less so, and there is no reason to expect any reversal of this trend. So, any rapid rise in prices above the affordability index will be harder than ever to realize. 3. Scarcity. a. Believe it or not, there are many more buyers than there are houses. Our total inventory is about 3 month’s supply of inventory. And, this number is a little skewed because if we had more houses, we would have more sales. And, with sales occurring so quickly, agents struggle to keep their system updated and a large percentage of homes that are ‘available’ in the MLS systems are actually already under contract. So, the actual number is LESS than a three month’s supply. In many areas, homes below the median price point for the area are actually at less than a two month’s supply. b. Many homes that are priced right and in good condition are getting multiple offers and selling for above list price. (not kidding) c. Buyers are less selective, because they have to be less selective. 18 months ago, your home had to look like it belonged in Better Homes and Gardens to get market value. And, if not, your home would just sit on the market for months, or even years. Now, so long as the home is in reasonably good condition, buyers are willing to pay full market price. Remember, there is a sense of urgency combined with the scarcity. d. Homes, especially below $150,000.00 are being purchased at an alarming pace by investors. And, believe it or not, these investors are paying market value for homes. Why? They are basing their decisions on market rent and the low price of money. Foreclosures are first offered to owner occupants and non-profits. And, owner occupants are given preference for these homes. So, these investors now focus their efforts on sales from regular homeowners, just like you. 4. You are buying in the same market that you are selling in. Assuming of course, that you are actually buying another property. And, assuming of course that you have a good agent, like the wonderful and eloquent writer of this fine informational blog. Shameless promotion, which of course is the kind of promotion you need when selling your home. ;) a. This has been a valid point for the entire time of the down market. Especially if you were moving up in homes. However, many people were so upside down, that this was not even a possibility. b. The only way this doesn't prove out is if you are downsizing. I would still point out that you would be purchasing a home at what is most likely a much lower interest rate and that could greatly offset any losses that you would take on. 5. Your competition is coming. a. As the message gets out more and more about the market, there will be more and more listings from other owners. That will give the buyers more selection and they can be pickier. b. There is still a lot of foreclosure inventory that isn't on the market. Now, much of this has been sold to foreign investors and hedge funds, and it is being used as rental property. So, this may not come on the market anytime soon. And, banks, most likely, aren't going to turn loose of a bunch of property at the same time crashing the market again. But, they will start to offer more and more as time goes along. c. Builders are coming back....and at prices that will compete or even undercut you. So, the buyer will have a choice between your lovely home or a brand new home with the latest finishes and upgrades for about the same price, if not even lower. i. Before a brick is bought, before a foundation is poured, historically, a builder has to first purchase and develop the land. However, with the recent real estate implosion, many builders went out of business. That left large tracts of land and subdivisions that had already been developed there to be snatched up. And, snatched up they were… and for pennies on the dollar. In most cases, these already developed lots were purchased for less than ten cents on the dollar. Do you think that doesn’t factor into the bottom line? ii. The builders that have been sitting on the sidelines have been operating on a shoestring budget with a much smaller infrastructure. And, much of the land in our area has been acquired by large national builders that can produce a home at an even lower cost per square foot due to standard blueprints and materials sheets. They are able to cut the time of production and the waste of materials. They, bottom line are a leaner, meaner hungry competitor that is just salivating at the current market and lack of inventory. iii. Despite our improvement in the housing market, the job market has not improved. Therefore, these builders will be able to hire skilled craftsman at a much reduced price. Many of these people are still looking for work or vastly under employed, so they will come cheaper. I know that this is a long, long post. But, there are so many factors that indicate that the best time in the next three years or so to sell your home, that I wanted to make sure I pointed them all out. And, explain them to a point that you can see this isn’t just a ploy to get listings, but a heartfelt urging of you not to forego a great opportunity to sell your home and accomplish your goals.

This was originally just going to be a quick note about how I see so many buyers struggling to find homes because their agent isn't on their game. I listed a home a week and a half ago and I just got a call from a buyer asking if their agent had called about showing the home. They have been looking for months and this home was perfect. I looked through my notes and realized that I had not heard from their agent. That home went under contract within 48 hours. And, homes that are in good contdion are priced well, especially less than 150K, sell that quickly in my market. Why should I care who my real estate is any more than I care who my car salesman, or appliance salesman is? I mean, all an agent does for a buyer is take them around and show them some houses, right? And, all a listing agent does is take a few pictures, put it on MLS and put a sign in the yard, right? Unfortunately for many agents, yes. But, those aren't the 'good' agents. What is a good agent? Well, as I began to think about this, it occurred to me that there is too much information to just 'jot' it down in one blog post. I expect this to be a three part series. First, what is a Realtor. Just because you have an agent, does not mean that you are being represented by a Realtor. Does the fact that an agent becomes a Realtor ensure they are a good agent? No, but it does show that they either take the profession seriously, or, at least, that the company that they associate with does. Some companies require each of their agents to become a Realtor. Does the fact that your agent is not a Realtor mean that they are not a good agent? Not necessarily, but they don't have the same resources that a Realtor does and they have not agreed to adhere to the same code of ethics that a Realtor does. What do I mean by resources? In Georgia, for instance, we have access to a separate set of contracts than a non-Realtor. And, when you read the contacts thoroughly, the GAR (Georgia Association of Realtors) contracts are written better than the non GAR contracts. They are more thorough, have less loopholes, are more clearly defined, and they protect all parties in the transaction much better than the non GAR forms. 'Most of the time' these uncertainties in a contract don't come into play. 'Most of the time' the parties know what they intended by the contract and fulfill their obligation. 'Most of the time' you get to the closing table and everyone could care less about what kind of contract was used. 'Most of the time'. The problem is that 'some of the time' you have parties who don't see the contract the same way. Or, 'some of the time', one party has changed their mind and is looking for a loophole out of a contract. Or, 'some of the time', one party upsets the other party and a contract that was benefited from good faith from both parties now has none from either. The contract issue may only exist in Georgia. I don't know, I have not practiced outside of Georgia. One thing is universal is that the NAR requires an ethics class with a core message of 'treat all parties honestly'. Now, unfortunately, just because a person agrees to adhere to this, does not mean that they will. Nor, does the fact that someone is not a NAR member mean that they will be unethical. However, at least a Realtor has been to the class and been taught the ethics of the business and possible missteps they could unintentionally take. To be a Realtor, it is $350.50 a year for my chapter. Some agents don't think it is worth that much to be a Realtor. To me, less than 97 cents a day to protect and serve my clients better, is very much worth it. In my opinion, as a real estate agent, I can't only concern myself with what happens 'most of the time', I have to be worried about all the things that can, and do, happen 'some of the time'. One thing that kind of ties into this theme. How often do they attend classes or training. The state of Georgia requires us to renew our license every four years. In that time, you have to have 24 hours of continuing education. Six hours per year. There are some agents who think that they have been doing this so long that they don't need to worry about training anymore. Unfortunately for them, the real estate market is ever changing, and you have to keep up with the times. So, if you call and your agent is in a 'class', or at a seminar, do not look at it as a bad thing. Look at is a commitment to continue to excel and improve in his/her profession. Okay, that last part may have been gratuitous because I put a higher emphasis on training and learning than most agents. And, there are many classes that I sit through thinking, well this is a waste of time because I already knew all this. But, real estate really does change constantly. Not just contracts, but the way we market homes, the way we reach buyers for those homes, the way we interact with our sellers, the way we find homes for our buyers. If you have an agent that isn't keeping up with the times, you could possibly be leaving money on the table as a seller or missing out of the perfect house as a buyer. So, I guess, the first qualification of being a good agent is that this person takes their profession seriously, and that it is a 'profession'. There is an old adage/joke "Do you know what they call the guy who graduates with the lowest GPA from Medical school?" Doctor. Well, at least they had medical school to weed out the people below him. I assure you that their is no similar process to weed out real estate agents. Unfortunately, you have do to do that for yourself. |
